We intend to disclose the calculations
performed for these preliminary results
to parties within five days after public
announcement of the preliminary
results in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c),
interested parties may submit case briefs
no later than 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice. Rebuttal
briefs, limited to issues raised in the
case briefs, may be filed not later than
seven days after the date for filing case
briefs.7 Commerce has modified certain
of its requirements for serving
documents containing business
proprietary information until further
notice.8 Parties who submit case briefs
or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are
encouraged to submit with each
argument: (1) A statement of the issue;
(2) a brief summary of the argument;
and (3) a table of authorities.9
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing, must submit a written request
to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, filed
electronically via ACCESS. Requests
should contain: (1) The party’s name,
address, and telephone number; (2) the
number of participants; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in
the hearing will be limited to those

extended, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion 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.11 If the weighted-average
dumping margin for TFM is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
intend to 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).12
If TFM’s weighted-average dumping
margin or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, then we
intend to instruct CBP not to assess
duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.13 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.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by TFM for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.14
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this

requirement could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.

telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case briefs. If a request for a hearing

Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in
any written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless extended, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion 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.\11\ If the
weighted-average dumping margin for TFM is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we
intend to 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).\12\ If TFM's weighted-average dumping margin
or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the
final results of review, then we intend to instruct CBP not to assess
duties on any of its entries in accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.\13\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\12\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\13\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8103; see also
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TFM
for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
[[Page 37743]]
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments of OBAs from Taiwan entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for TFM, subject to this review, will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established for it in the final results
of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in
this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in
the completed segment 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 in the completed segment for the most recent period
for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will be the all-others rate established in
the less-than-fair-value investigation for this proceeding, 6.19
percent.\15\ 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: July 12 2021.
