In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.9 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on the comments received from interested parties and record 
information, we made no changes to our preliminary weighted-average 
dumping margin calculations for Hyundai RB Co., Ltd. (Hyundai RB) and 
Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai Steel).

Rate for Non-Examined Respondents

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the 
establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for 
companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits 
its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 
777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) 
of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others 
rate in an investigation, for guidance when determining the weighted-
average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for 
individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an amount 
equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average dumping 
margins established for exporters and producers individually 
investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any 
margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available{time} .''
    In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for 
each of the mandatory respondents, Hyundai RB, and Hyundai Steel, that 
is zero percent. Where the rates for the individually examined 
companies are all zero, de minimis, or determined entirely using facts 
available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act instructs that Commerce 
``may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others 
rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, 
including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins 
determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.'' 
One such reasonable method is to weight average the zero and de minimis 
rates, and the rates determined entirely pursuant to facts available. 
In fact, the SAA states that this is the ``expected'' method in such 
circumstances.\5\ Accordingly, we have determined the weighted-average 
dumping margin for the eighteen companies that were not selected for 
individual examination based on the weighted average of the weighted-
average dumping margins calculated for Hyundai RB and Hyundai Steel, 
i.e., zero percent, consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. 
These are the only rates determined in this review for individually 
examined companies, and, thus, are applied to the eighteen firms not 
selected for individual examination.

Uruguay Round Agreements Act, H.R. Doc. 103-316, vol. 1 (1994) (SAA)

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the POR:

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations that it performed in connection with the final results of 
review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we made 
no changes to our preliminary weighted-average dumping margin 
calculations for Hyundai RB and Hyundai Steel, there are no 
calculations to disclose.

Assessment Rates

    Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of 
subject merchandise in accordance with these final results of 
review.\7\ Because the weighted-average dumping margin for the 
companies listed above is zero percent, we intend to instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
    \8\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14, 
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by Hyundai Steel or Hyundai RB for 
which these companies did not know that the merchandise that they sold 
to an intermediary company (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or 
exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we 
will instruct CBP to liquidate the unreviewed entries at the all-others 
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in 
the transaction.\9\

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 
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 deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies 
listed above in the final results of this review will be equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of 
this administrative review (i.e., zero percent); (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed companies not subject to this review, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published 
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the 
company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate established for the most recently completed segment of the 
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other

[[Page 68640]]

producers and exporters will continue to be 7.08 percent ad valorem, 
the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\10\ These 
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also serves as a final 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 the POR. 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 Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective 
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and 
the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 29, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
