1. On 12/27/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register (83 FR 66675) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping duty investigation of steel propane cylinders from the People's Republic of China (China) (see message number 9031303, dated 01/31/2019). The cash deposit rate in that message was adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of this merchandise (C-570-087). 2. The final day that provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding were in effect was 02/22/2019. As a result, suspension of liquidation was discontinued in that case (see message number 9072305, dated 03/13/2019). Therefore, effective 02/23/2019 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding), CBP should collect the full cash deposit rate calculated in the antidumping duty proceeding, as identified in the paragraph below. 3. Accordingly, for shipments of subject merchandise from the producer/exporter combinations listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 02/23/2019 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins: Exporter: China-Wide Entity Case number: A-570-086-000 Cash deposit rate: 108.60% Exporter: Hong Kong GSBF Company Limited Producer: GSBF Tank Inc Case number: A-570-086-001 Cash deposit rate: 41.08% Exporter: Shandong Huanri Group Co.

For all other entries of steel propane cylinders from China, the following cash deposit instructions apply: A. For all China exporter/producer combinations of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 108.60%. B. For all non-China exporters of steel propane cylinders from China which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter/producer combinations that supplied that non-China exporter. 5.
