regardless of purity, particle size, grade, or
physical form. Methionine has the chemical
formula C5H11NO2S, liquid HMTBa has the
chemical formula C5H10O3S, and dry HMTBa
has the chemical formula (C5H9O3S)2Ca.
Subject merchandise also includes
methionine processed in a third country
including, but not limited to, refining,
converting from liquid to dry or dry to liquid
form, or any other processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of these orders if performed in the
country of manufacture of the in-scope
methionine or dl-Hydroxy analogue of dlmethionine.
The scope also includes methionine that is
commingled (i.e., mixed or combined) with
methionine from sources not subject to these
orders. Only the subject component of such
commingled products is covered by the scope
of these orders.
Excluded from these orders is United
States Pharmacopoeia (USP) grade
methionine. In order to qualify for this
exclusion, USP grade methionine must meet
or exceed all of the chemical, purity,
performance, and labeling requirements of
the United States Pharmacopeia and the
National Formulary for USP grade
methionine.
Methionine is currently classified under
subheadings 2930.40.00.00 and
2930.90.46.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Methionine has the Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) registry numbers 583–91–5,
4857–44–7, 59–51–8 and 922–50–9. While
the HTSUS subheadings and CAS registry
number are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of
the scope of these orders is dispositive.

Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, and Final

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is amending the final
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on carbon
and certain alloy steel wire rod (wire
rod) from Mexico to correct a ministerial
error. The period of review (POR) is
October 1, 2018, through September 30,
2019.

Background
On August 16, 2021, Commerce
disclosed its calculations for the Final
Results 1 to interested parties.2 On
August 23, 2021, we received a
ministerial error allegation from Nucor
Corporation (Nucor), a domestic
interested party, regarding Commerce’s
home market program calculations.3 No
other party made an allegation of
ministerial errors or submitted a reply to
Nucor’s ministerial error allegation.
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), defines a
‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors
in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ With respect to final
results of administrative reviews, 19
CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce
‘‘will analyze any comments received
and, if appropriate, correct any
ministerial error by amending . . . the
final results of review . . . .’’
Ministerial Error

Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue

Commerce agrees with Nucor that
Commerce made an inadvertent,
unintentional error in the Final Results
within the meaning of section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) with
respect to treatment of reported late
payment fees in the margin calculation
for the sole mandatory respondent,
Deacero S.A.P.I de C.V. (Deacero).
Accordingly, Commerce determines
that, in accordance with section 751(h)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it
made a ministerial error in the Final
Results.

ministerial error allegation, as well as
Commerce’s analysis, see the

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
Commerce is amending the Final
Results to reflect the correction of a
ministerial error in the calculation of
the weighted-average dumping margin
assigned to Deacero in the Final Results,
which changes from 9.82 percent to 9.84
percent. Furthermore, we are revising
the review-specific, weighted-average
dumping margin applicable to the
companies not selected for individual
examination in this administrative
review, Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V.
(Talleres y Aceros), and Ternium
Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Ternium), which
is based entirely on Deacero’s weightedaverage dumping margin.5
Amended Final Results
As a result of correcting the
ministerial error, Commerce determines
that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period
October 1, 2018, through September 30,
2019:
Producers/exporters

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed to parties in this proceeding
within five days after publication of
these amended final results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
amended final results of this review.
For Deacero, Commerce has
calculated importer-specific
antidumping duty assessment rates by

calculated for the examined sales of
each importer and dividing each of
these amounts by the total entered value
associated with those sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
will instruct CBP to liquidate without
regard to antidumping duties any
entries for which the importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Deacero 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. For the companies not
selected for individual examination, we
will instruct CBP to apply an
assessment rate to all entries produced
and/or exported by those companies
equal to the dumping margin indicated
above. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 41 days
after the date of publication of these
amended final results of review.6

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Exoskeletons—sometimes called
wearable robots—are a very rapidly
expanding domain with a range of
applications and a broad diversity of
designs. NIST’s Engineering Laboratory
will be developing methods to evaluate
performance of exoskeletons in two key
areas (1) The fit and motion of the
exoskeleton device with respect to the
users’ body and (2) The impact that
using an exoskeleton has on the
performance of users executing tasks
that are representative of activities in
industrial settings and emergency
response applications. The results of
these experiments will inform future
test method development at NIST, other
organizations, and under the purview of
the American Society for Testing
Materials (ASTM) Committee F48 on
Exoskeletons and Exosuits.
For the first research topic, NIST will
be measuring the difference in
performance of a person wearing an
exoskeleton versus the person’s baseline
without the exoskeleton while
positioning loads and tools. The NIST
Position and Load Test Apparatus for
Exoskelons (PoLoTAE), which presents
abstractions of industrial task
challenges, will be used in this research.
NIST researchers will also develop
standard test methods to represent real
world applications for emergency
responders such as mobility tasks;

Commerce determines that, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it made a ministerial error in the Final
Results.
For a complete discussion of the ministerial error allegation, as

351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the amended final results of this review.
For Deacero, Commerce has calculated importer-specific antidumping
duty assessment rates by
[[Page 51122]]
aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined
sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by the total
entered value associated with those sales in accordance with 19 CFR

to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which
the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis. For
