other interested parties commented on
the Preliminary Results. Because
POSCO’s final dumping margin is zero,
the issue raised in POSCO’s case brief
is moot and we have not addressed it for
purposes of these final results.
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act.

exporter of carbon and alloy steel wire
rod (wire rod) from the Republic of

merchandise below normal value during
the period of review (POR), May 1,
2020, through April 30, 2021.

the Preliminary Results of this
administrative review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

Final Determination of the Single Entity
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that POSCO and PIC are affiliated and
should be treated as a single entity,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f).7 No
interested party commented on this
preliminary finding. As the record
contains no other information or
evidence that calls into question our
preliminary finding, we adopt the
reasoning and findings of fact outlined
in the Preliminary Results with respect
to this issue. Therefore, we continue to
find that POSCO and PIC should be
treated as a single entity.
Final Results of the Review
We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period May 1, 2020,
through April 30, 2021:

Disclosure
Because we have not modified our
analysis, there are no new calculations
to disclose in accordance with section
751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(b)
for the final results. We are adopting the
Preliminary Results as the final results.
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.8 Because
POSCO’s weighted-average dumping
margin is 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 POSCO 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.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. 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 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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 191 / Tuesday, October 4, 2022 / Notices
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for POSCO is equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for previously-investigated
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter was not covered in
this review or the investigation, but the
producer was covered, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 41.10 percent, the
all-others rate established in the original
less-than-fair-value investigation.10
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 prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
