Commerce is also amending AD duty rates it set for 23 other companies in the final results as a result of the CIT decision, but cash deposit requirements will not change for these companies because they have all had new rates set in more recent administrative reviews. The changes for these 23 exporters will affect only importer assessments for subject merchandise entered during the period Oct. 20, 2015, through July 31, 2016 (except for Pirelli, for which changes to assessment rates affect entries Jan. 27, 2015, through Oct. 19, 2015).
