Final Results of the Administrative
Review
For these final results, we determine
that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period
September 1, 2019, through August 31,
2020:
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
our analysis of the comments received,
we made certain changes to the margin
calculation for Hyundai. For a complete
discussion of these changes, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Respondents
The Act and Commerce’s regulations
do not address the establishment of a
weighted-average dumping margin to be
applied to 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 a lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, for
guidance when calculating 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 examined, excluding any
margins that are zero, de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), or determined
entirely on the basis of facts available.
Consistent with our practice and
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, for the
companies that were not selected for
individual review, we assigned a rate
based on the rates of the respondents
that were selected for individual
examination. Consistent with the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit’s decision in Albemarle, we are
assigning to the 38 companies not
selected for individual examination the
zero percent rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents, Hyundai and
POSCO/PIC.9 These are the only rates
determined in this review for individual
respondents and, thus, we determine
that they apply to the 38 firms not
selected for individual examination
under section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.
9 See Albemarle Corp. v. United States, 821 F.3d
1345 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (Albemarle).

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the
calculations performed for these final
results to parties within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
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 the
final results of this review. Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of those sales. Where
the respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin is either zero or de
minimis, we intend to instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Because the weighted-average dumping
margins for Hyundai, POSCO/PIC, and
the 38 firms not selected for individual
examination have been determined to be
zero percent, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
In accordance with Commerce’s
practice, for entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by Hyundai or POSCO/PIC for which it
did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States, we
intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
company-specific rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.11

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2022 / Notices
Consistent with its recent notice,12
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). 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 cash deposits of
estimated antidumping duties, where
applicable.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of these final results 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 rates for the reviewed
companies will be the rates established
in the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters 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
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original LTFV
investigation but the producer has been
covered in a prior completed segment of
this proceeding, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the
completed segment for the most recent
period for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 20.33 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.13 These cash 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 and/or
countervailing 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
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
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 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
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case brief filed by Hyundai, an interested
party in this review, are discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues which Hyundai raised, and to which we
responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is attached as
Appendix I to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at
https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and our analysis of the comments
received, we made certain changes to the margin calculation for
Hyundai. For a complete discussion of these changes, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Respondents
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a weighted-average dumping margin to be applied to 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 a
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, for guidance when
calculating 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 examined, excluding any margins that are zero,
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), or determined entirely on the
basis of facts available.
Consistent with our practice and section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act,
for the companies that were not selected for individual review, we
assigned a rate based on the rates of the respondents that were
selected for individual examination. Consistent with the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit's decision in Albemarle, we are
assigning to the 38 companies not selected for individual examination
the zero percent rates calculated for the mandatory respondents,
Hyundai and POSCO/PIC.\9\ These are the only rates determined in this
review for individual respondents and, thus, we determine that they
apply to the 38 firms not selected for individual examination under
section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Final Results of the Administrative Review
For these final results, we determine that the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period September 1, 2019, through
August 31, 2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results to parties within five days of the date of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), 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 the final results of
this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of those sales. Where the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is either zero or de minimis, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties. Because the weighted-average dumping margins for
Hyundai, POSCO/PIC, and the 38 firms not selected for individual
examination have been determined to be zero percent, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties. In accordance with Commerce's practice, for entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hyundai or POSCO/PIC
for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-
others rate if there is no company-specific rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\11\

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 15373]]
Consistent with its recent notice,\12\ 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). 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 cash deposits of estimated
antidumping duties, where applicable.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of these final
results 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 rates for the
reviewed companies will be the rates established in the final results
of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters 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 most recently completed
segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation but
the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will continue to be 20.33 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\13\ These cash 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 and/or countervailing
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
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 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 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
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(5).
