(3) **Critical circumstances determinations** — If the final determination of the administering authority is affirmative, then that determination, in any investigation in which the presence of critical circumstances has been alleged under [section 1673b(e) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/e&num=0&edition=prelim), shall also contain a finding of whether—
(A)
(i) there is a history of dumping and material injury by reason of dumped imports in the United States or elsewhere of the subject merchandise, or
(ii) the person by whom, or for whose account, the merchandise was imported knew or should have known that the exporter was selling the subject merchandise at less than its fair value and that there would be material injury by reason of such sales, and
(B) there have been massive imports of the subject merchandise over a relatively short period.
Such findings may be affirmative even though the preliminary determination under [section 1673b(e)(1) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/e/1&num=0&edition=prelim) was negative.

**(b) Final determination by Commission**
(1) **In general** — The Commission shall make a final determination of whether—
(A) an industry in the United States—
(i) is materially injured, or
(ii) is threatened with material injury, or
(B) the establishment of an industry in the United States is materially retarded,
by reason of imports, or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation, of the merchandise with respect to which the administering authority has made an affirmative determination under subsection (a)(1). If the Commission determines that imports of the subject merchandise are negligible, the investigation shall be terminated.
(2) **Period for injury determination following affirmative preliminary determination by administering authority** — If the preliminary determination by the administering authority under [section 1673b(b) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/b&num=0&edition=prelim) is affirmative, then the Commission shall make the determination required by paragraph (1) before the later of—

(3) **Period for injury determination following negative preliminary determination by administering authority** — If the preliminary determination by the administering authority under [section 1673b(b) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/b&num=0&edition=prelim) is negative, and its final determination under subsection (a) is affirmative, then the final determination by the Commission under this subsection shall be made within 75 days after the date of that affirmative final determination.
(4) **Certain additional findings**
(A) *Commission standard for retroactive application.—*
(i) *In general.—* — If the finding of the administering authority under subsection (a)(3) is affirmative, then the final determination of the Commission shall include a finding as to whether the imports subject to the affirmative determination under subsection (a)(3) are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty order to be issued under [section 1673e of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673e&num=0&edition=prelim).
(ii) *Factors to consider.—* — In making the evaluation under clause (i), the Commission shall consider, among other factors it considers relevant—
(I) the timing and the volume of the imports,
(II) a rapid increase in inventories of the imports, and
(III) any other circumstances indicating that the remedial effect of the antidumping order will be seriously undermined.
(B) If the final determination of the Commission is that there is no material injury but that there is threat of material injury, then its determination shall also include a finding as to whether material injury by reason of the imports of the merchandise with respect to which the administering authority has made an affirmative determination under subsection (a) would have been found but for any suspension of liquidation of entries of the merchandise.
**(c) Effect of final determinations**
(1) **Effect of affirmative determination by the administering authority** — If the determination of the administering authority under subsection (a) is affirmative, then—
(A) the administering authority shall make available to the Commission all information upon which such determination was based and which the Commission considers relevant to its determination, under such procedures as the administering authority and the Commission may establish to prevent disclosure, other than with the consent of the party providing it or under protective order, of any information as to which confidential treatment has been given by the administering authority,
(B)
(i) the administering authority shall—
(I) determine the estimated weighted average dumping margin for each exporter and producer individually investigated, and
(II) determine, in accordance with paragraph (5), the estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually investigated, and
(ii) the administering authority shall order the posting of a cash deposit, bond, or other security, as the administering authority deems appropriate, for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the estimated weighted average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, whichever is applicable, and
(C) in cases where the preliminary determination by the administering authority under [section 1673b(b) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/b&num=0&edition=prelim) was negative, the administering authority shall order the suspension of liquidation under [section 1673b(d)(2) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/d/2&num=0&edition=prelim).
(2) **Issuance of order; effect of negative determination** — If the determinations of the administering authority and the Commission under subsections (a)(1) and (b)(1) are affirmative, then the administering authority shall issue an antidumping duty order under [section 1673e(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673e/a&num=0&edition=prelim).

(3) **Effect of negative determinations under subsections (a)(3) and (b)(4)(A)** — If the determination of the administering authority or the Commission under subsection (a)(3) or (b)(4)(A), respectively, is negative, then the administering authority shall—

(B) release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit required, under [section 1673b(d)(1)(B) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/d/1/B&num=0&edition=prelim) with respect to entries of the merchandise the liquidation of which was suspended retroactively under [section 1673b(e)(2) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/e/2&num=0&edition=prelim).
(4) **Effect of affirmative determination under subsection (a)(3)** — If the determination of the administering authority under subsection (a)(3) is affirmative, then the administering authority shall—
(A) in cases where the preliminary determinations by the administering authority under sections 1673b(b) and 1673b(e)(1) of this title were both affirmative, continue the retroactive suspension of liquidation and the posting of a cash deposit, bond, or other security previously ordered under [section 1673b(e)(2) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/e/2&num=0&edition=prelim);

(C) in cases where the preliminary determination by the administering authority under [section 1673b(b) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1673b/b&num=0&edition=prelim) was negative, shall apply any suspension of liquidation and security requirement ordered under subsection (c)(1)(B) to unliquidated entries of merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date which is 90 days before the date on which suspension of liquidation is first ordered.

(B) *Exception* — If the estimated weighted average dumping margins established for all exporters and producers individually investigated are zero or de minimis margins, or are determined entirely under [section 1677e of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section1677e&num=0&edition=prelim), the administering authority may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.
**(d) Publication of notice of determinations** Whenever the administering authority or the Commission makes a determination under this section, it shall notify the petitioner, other parties to the investigation, and the other agency of its determination and of the facts and conclusions of law upon which the determination is based, and it shall publish notice of its determination in the Federal Register.
**(e) Correction of ministerial errors** The administering authority shall establish procedures for the correction of ministerial errors in final determinations within a reasonable time after the determinations are issued under this section. Such procedures shall ensure opportunity for interested parties to present their views regarding any such errors. As used in this subsection, the term “ministerial error” includes errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which the administering authority considers ministerial.
