Verification
Commerce was unable to conduct an
on-site verification of the information
relied upon in making its final
determination in this investigation as
provided for in section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Accordingly, we took additional steps in
lieu of an on-site verification and
requested additional documentation and
information.3
Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
We calculated Kingdom Indah’s
dumping margin using the cost of
production, home-market, and U.S.
sales databases that it submitted on
November 6, 2020. We relied on the
costs submitted by Kingdom Indah
except that, consistent with our
Preliminary Determination, we
continued to reallocate Kingdom
Indah’s reported direct material and
conversion costs to mitigate cost
differences not associated with the
physical characteristics of products. For
further information, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Use of Facts Available and Adverse
Facts Available
We have continued to base PT Bumi’s
dumping margin on total adverse facts
available, pursuant to sections 776(a)
and 776(b) of the Act. For further
information, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act
provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other
producers and exporters not
individually investigated shall be equal
to the weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for individually investigated
exporters and producers, excluding any
dumping margins that are zero, de
minimis, or any dumping margins
determined entirely under section 776
of the Act. Commerce assigned PT Bumi
a dumping margin that is entirely based
on section 776 of the Act. Therefore, the
only dumping margin that is not zero,

otherwise available is the dumping
margin that Commerce calculated for

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is prestressed concrete steel
wire strand (PC strand), produced from wire
of non-stainless, non-galvanized steel, which
is suitable for use in prestressed concrete
(both pretensioned and post-tensioned)
applications. The product definition
encompasses covered and uncovered strand
and all types, grades, and diameters of PC
strand. PC strand is normally sold in the
United States in sizes ranging from 0.25
inches to 0.70 inches in diameter. PC strand
made from galvanized wire is only excluded
from the scope if the zinc and/or zinc oxide
coating meets or exceeds the 0.40 oz./ft2
standard set forth in ASTM–A–475.
The PC strand subject to this investigation
is currently classifiable under subheadings
7312.10.3010 and 7312.10.3012 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this investigation
is dispositive.

provided for in section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Accordingly, we took additional steps in
lieu of an on-site verification and
requested additional documentation and
information,3 which Scaw failed to
submit in a timely manner. As a result,
Commerce rejected the entirety of
Scaw’s ILOV response from the record.4
Therefore, Commerce was unable to
verify Scaw’s information as provided

further information, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we have not
calculated an estimated dumping
margin for Scaw and, instead, applied
total AFA. For a discussion of this issue,
see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Use of Facts Available and Adverse
Facts Available
As noted above, Scaw did not comply
with the ILOV Questionnaire
procedures and failed to provide its
complete ILOV response in a timely
manner. Therefore, we have based
Scaw’s dumping margin on total adverse
facts available (AFA), pursuant to
sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Act.
For further information, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act
provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other
producers and exporters not
individually investigated shall be equal
to the weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for individually investigated
exporters and producers, excluding any
margins that are zero, de minimis, or
any margins determined entirely under
section 776 of the Act. Commerce
assigned Scaw a dumping margin that is
entirely based on section 776 of the Act.
In cases where no weighted-average
dumping margins other than zero, de
minimis, or determined entirely under
section 776 of the Act have been
established for individually-examined
entities, in accordance with section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, Commerce
typically averages the margins alleged in
the petition and applies the results to all
other entities not individually
examined.5
In the Petition, the petitioners
calculated a single estimated dumping
margin, 155.10 percent.6 Therefore,

Verification
Commerce was unable to conduct an on-site verification of the
information relied upon in making its final determination in this

also Kingdom Indah's Letter, ``Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire
Strand from Indonesia--Response for Antidumping Duty Investigation
Questionnaire In Lieu of On Site Verification of PT. Kingdom Indah
(`PTKI'),'' dated December 17, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Determination
We calculated Kingdom Indah's dumping margin using the cost of
production, home-market, and U.S. sales databases that it submitted on
November 6, 2020. We relied on the costs submitted by Kingdom Indah
except that, consistent with our Preliminary Determination, we
continued to reallocate Kingdom Indah's reported direct material and
conversion costs to mitigate cost differences not associated with the
physical characteristics of products. For further information, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Use of Facts Available and Adverse Facts Available
We have continued to base PT Bumi's dumping margin on total adverse
facts available, pursuant to sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Act. For
further information, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters
not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for
individually investigated exporters and producers, excluding any
dumping margins that are zero, de minimis, or any dumping margins
determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Commerce assigned PT
Bumi a dumping margin that is entirely based on section 776 of the Act.
Therefore, the only dumping margin that is not zero, de minimis or
based entirely on the facts otherwise available is the dumping margin
that Commerce calculated for
[[Page 18496]]
Kingdom Indah. Consequently, we assigned the dumping margin calculated
for Kingdom Indah to all producers and exporters that were not
individually examined.
Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part
Commerce determines that, in accordance with section 735(a)(3) of
the Act, critical circumstances exist with respect to PT Bumi but do
not exist with respect to Kingdom Indah or companies subject to the
``all-others'' rate. For further discussion of Commerce's critical
circumstances determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

We intend to disclose to parties to the proceeding the calculations
performed for this final determination within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the date of the publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to
suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of subject merchandise,
as described in Appendix I to this notice, from Kingdom Indah and all
other producers and exporters not individually examined, that were
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
November 19, 2020, the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determination in the Federal Register.
Section 735(c)(4) of the Act provides that if there is an
affirmative determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of
liquidation shall apply to unliquidated entries of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
later of: (a) The date which is 90 days before the date on which the
suspension of liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the date on which
notice of initiation of the investigation was published. As noted
above, Commerce finds that critical circumstances exist for imports of
subject merchandise from PT. Bumi. Accordingly, in accordance with
section 735(c)(4) of the Act, suspension of liquidation shall continue
to apply to unliquidated entries of subject merchandise from PT Bumi
that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date which is 90 days before the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register.
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(d), upon publication of this notice, Commerce will instruct CBP
to require a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise equal to
an estimated weighted average dumping margin or the estimated all-
others rate, as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents
listed in the table above will be equal to the respondent-specific
estimated weighted-average dumping margin determined in this final
determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified in
the table above but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for
that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate
for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others
estimated weighted-average dumping margin.
These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect
until further notice.
International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the
International Trade Commission (ITC) of the final affirmative
determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this
proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or
threatened with material injury, by reason of imports, or sales (or the
likelihood of sales) for importation of PC strand no later than 45 days
after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material
injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will
be terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC
determines that material injury or threat of material injury does
exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all
imports of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the
suspension of liquidation.

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this investigation is prestressed
concrete steel wire strand (PC strand), produced from wire of non-
stainless, non-galvanized steel, which is suitable for use in
prestressed concrete (both pretensioned and post-tensioned)
applications. The product definition encompasses covered and
uncovered strand and all types, grades, and diameters of PC strand.
PC strand is normally sold in the United States in sizes ranging
from 0.25 inches to 0.70 inches in diameter. PC strand made from
galvanized wire is only excluded from the scope if the zinc and/or
zinc oxide coating meets or exceeds the 0.40 oz./ft2 standard set
forth in ASTM-A-475.
The PC strand subject to this investigation is currently
classifiable under subheadings 7312.10.3010 and 7312.10.3012 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation
is dispositive.
