Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review and analysis of
the comments received from parties, we
made certain changes to the subsidy rate
calculations for Goodluck and TII. For a
discussion of these comments, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, we
find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
financial contribution from a
government or public entity that gives
rise to a benefit to the recipient, and the
subsidy is specific.3 For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we determine the total
estimated net countervailable subsidy
rates for the period January 1, 2019,
through December 31, 2019, to be as
follows:

five days of the date of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register.6
Assessment Rate
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act, upon issuance of the final
results, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review. Commerce intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions to
CBP no earlier than 35 days after
publication of these final results. 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
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to an
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 proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Petitions
On November 15, 2021, the
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
received antidumping duty (AD)
petitions concerning imports of
emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber
(ESBR) from the Czech Republic, Italy,
and Russia filed in proper form on
behalf of Lion Elastomers LLC (the
petitioner), a domestic producer of
ESBR.1
On November 17 and 24, and
December 1, 2021, Commerce requested
additional information pertaining to
certain aspects of the Petitions in
separate supplemental questionnaires.2
The petitioner filed responses to the
supplemental questionnaires on
November 19 and 24, and December 1,
2021.3
In accordance with section 732(b) of
the Act, the petitioner alleges that
1 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Petition (vol. I–IV) for
the Imposition of Antidumping Duties on Imports
of Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from Czech
Republic, Italy, and Russia,’’ dated November 12,
2021 (the Petitions). The Petitions were filed with
Commerce and the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) on November 12, 2021, after
12:00 noon, and pursuant to 19 CFR 207.10(a), are
deemed to have been filed with the ITC on the next
business day, November 15, 2021. Because section
732(b)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), requires simultaneous filing of the Petitions
with Commerce and the ITC, Commerce deemed the
Petitions to have been filed with Commerce on
November 15, 2021. See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision
Memorandum Concerning the Filing Date of the
Petitions,’’ dated November 15, 2021.
2 See Commerce’s Letters, ‘‘Petitions for the

imports of ESBR from the Czech
Republic, Italy, and Russia are being, or
are likely to be, sold in the United States
at less than fair value (LTFV) within the
meaning of section 731 of the Act, and
that imports of such products are
materially injuring, or threatening
material injury to, the ESBR industry in
the United States. Consistent with
section 732(b)(1) of the Act, the
Petitions are accompanied by
information reasonably available to the
petitioner supporting its allegations.
Commerce finds that the petitioner
filed the Petitions on behalf of the
domestic industry because the
petitioner is an interested party, as
defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act.
Commerce also finds that the petitioner
demonstrated sufficient industry
support for the initiation of the
requested LTFV investigations.4
Period of Investigation
Because the Petitions were filed on
November 15, 2021, the period of
investigation (POI) for these LTFV
investigations is October 1, 2020,
through September 30, 2021, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.204(b)(1).5
Scope of the Investigations
The product covered by these
investigations is ESBR from the Czech
Republic, Italy, and Russia. For a full
description of the scope of these
investigations, see the appendix to this
notice.
Comments on the Scope of the
Investigations
As discussed in the Preamble to
Commerce’s regulations, we are setting
aside a period for interested parties to
raise issues regarding product coverage
(i.e., scope).6 Commerce will consider
all comments received from interested
parties and, if necessary, will consult
with interested parties prior to the
issuance of the preliminary
determinations. If scope comments
include factual information,7 all such
factual information should be limited to
public information. To facilitate
preparation of its questionnaires,
Commerce requests that all interested
parties submit such comments by 5:00
p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on December 27,
2021, which is the next business day
after 20 calendar days from the

and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance
with the final results of this review.
Where the weighted average dumping margin for Dillinger is zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment
of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Dillinger for which the
reviewed company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such instances, 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.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For a full discussion of this practice, 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
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 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 company
listed above will be that established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the
cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit will continue
to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently
completed segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a previous review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will
be the rate established for the most recent segment for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 21.04 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\7\ These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
[[Page 70447]]
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 return/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
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: December 3, 2021.
