percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for each importer’s examined sales to
the total entered value of those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).9 If the weighted-average
dumping margin for the respondents
listed above is zero or de minimis in the
final results, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results, we will instruct CBP
not to assess antidumping duties on any
of their entries in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews.10
In accordance with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Navneet or SAB for which
it did not know that its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
of 3.91 percent, as established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation, if
there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.11 For a full discussion of
this matter, see Assessment Policy
Notice.12
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.

Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this

minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate an importerspecific assessment rate based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).11 If a respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis in the final results of
review, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.12 The final results of this
administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping
duties on entries of merchandise under
review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable. We
intend to issue liquidation instructions

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate

In recent
years, individual NOAA programs and
its multisector partners have worked to
advance successful unmanned systems,
artificial intelligence, ‘omics, and cloud
solutions that improve the delivery of
their respective missions.
The draft strategies NOAA developed
for each of these science and technology
focus areas directly follow guidance
from the Administration and Congress,
including the Office of Science and
Technology Policy FY21 Research and
Development Priorities letter, the
National Science and Technology
Council report ‘‘Science and
Technology for America’s Oceans: a
Decadal Vision’’, the Executive Order on
Maintaining American Leadership in
Artificial Intelligence, the Weather
Research and Forecasting Innovation
Act, and the Commercial Engagement
Through Ocean Technology (CENOTE)
Act.
The draft strategies will ensure robust
agency-wide coordination and strong
institutional support from NOAA senior
leadership for these emerging science
and technology focus areas to guide
transformational advances in the quality
and efficiency of NOAA’s science,
products, and services.
Summary of the Four Draft Strategies
Unmanned Systems Strategy: In
recognition of the opportunities
unmanned systems presents for
addressing NOAA’s mission priorities,
the NOAA Unmanned Systems Strategy
provides a framework to: (1) Efficiently
provide requirements-driven, safe, costeffective, and compliant Unmanned
Systems services across the agency; (2)
prioritize strategic investments in
Unmanned Systems applications and
technologies that fuel innovation and
strengthen operations, and (3) accelerate
and enhance capabilities through
partnerships.
Artificial Intelligence Strategy: The
overarching goal of the NOAA Artificial
Intelligence (AI) Strategy is to utilize AI
to advance NOAA’s requirementsdriven mission priorities. Through this
strategy, NOAA seeks to reduce the cost
of data processing, and provide higher
quality and more timely scientific
products and services for societal
benefits.

opportunities and challenges presented

Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\10\ If a
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis in the
final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\11\ If a
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results of review,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties in accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.\12\ The final results of this administrative review shall
be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise under review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable. We intend to issue liquidation instructions
[[Page 61891]]
to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication of the notice of final
results of this review for all shipments of ESB rubber from Brazil
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for company subject to this review will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results
of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not covered in
this review but covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the
most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise;
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 19.61 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\13\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this period of review. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: November 7, 2019.
