The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on prestressed
concrete steel wire strand (PC strand)
from Ukraine. We preliminarily
determine that PJSC Stalkanat
(Stalkanat) did not make sales of subject
merchandise at less than normal value
during the period of review (POR)
November 19, 2020, through May 31,
2022. Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 9, 2022, Commerce
initiated an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order 1 on PC strand
from Ukraine covering the abovereferenced POR.2 On February 10, 2023,
Commerce extended the deadline for
issuing the preliminary results of this
review to June 30, 2023.3 For a complete
description of the events that followed
the initiation of this review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4
Scope of the Order
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
The products covered by this Order
are prestressed concrete steel wire
strand, produced from wire of nonstainless, non-galvanized steel, which is
suitable for use in prestressed concrete
(both pretensioned and post-tensioned)
applications. The product definition
encompasses covered and uncovered
strand and all types, grades, and
diameters of PC strand. For a full
description of the scope of the Order,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.

Preliminary Results of Successor-inInterest Analysis and Intent To Rescind
Administrative Review, in Part
Commerce initiated this
administrative review with respect to
PJSC Stalkanat (Stalkanat) and PJSC PA
Stalkanat-Silur (Stalkanat-Silur), the
entity that participated in the original
investigation. Stalkanat reported that it
legally separated from Stalkanat-Silur
and, subsequently, took over the
business activities of Stalkanat-Silur in
Odessa, Ukraine on January 1, 2022. We
have analyzed record information
regarding the management,
manufacturing facilities, customers, and
suppliers of Stalkanat-Silur and
Stalkanat, and preliminarily determine
that Stalkanat’s operations are not
materially dissimilar to those of
Stalkanat-Silur prior to its legal
separation. Thus, we preliminarily find
that Stalkanat is the successor-ininterest to Stalkanat-Silur. See the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum for
further information. Accordingly, we are
preliminarily rescinding the
administrative review of Stalkanat-Silur.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). We calculated export prices
for Stalkanat in accordance with section
772 of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology underlying our
decisions, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. See the appendix to this
notice for a complete list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. The Preliminary
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, the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum
may be accessed directly at https://
access.trade.gov/public/

Disclosure and Public Comment
Commerce intends to disclose to
interested parties the calculations
performed for these preliminary results
within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Interested
parties may comment on the
preliminary results of this review by
submitting case briefs to Commerce no
later than 30 days after the date of
publication of these preliminary results
of review in the Federal Register.5
Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised
in the case briefs, may be filed no later
than seven days after the date for filing
the applicable case briefs.6 Parties who
submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in
this proceeding are encouraged to
submit with each argument: (1) a
statement of the issue; (2) a brief
summary of the argument; and (3) a
table of authorities.7 Note that
Commerce has temporarily modified
certain portions of its requirements for
serving documents containing business
proprietary information, until further
notice.8
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing, limited to issues raised in the
case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a
written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, U.S. Department of
Commerce, filed electronically via
ACCESS within 30 days of the date of
publication of this notice. Requests
should contain: (1) the party’s name,
address, and telephone number; (2) the
number of participants; and (3) a list of
the issues to be discussed. An
electronically-filed hearing request must
be received successfully in its entirety
by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
on the established deadline.
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
issues raised in the case briefs, no later
than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, unless
otherwise extended.
Preliminary Results of the Review
Commerce preliminarily determines
that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margin exists during
the period November 19, 2020, through

entries associated with the U.S. sales
covered by this review.9 If Stalkanat’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent) in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
Where an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is not zero or
de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
collect the appropriate duties at the time
of liquidation. Where either Stalkanat’s
ad valorem weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,10
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
If Commerce calculates margins above
de minimis in the final results of this
review, we intend to instruct CBP to
take into account the ‘‘provisional
measures deposit cap,’’ in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(d).
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR, produced by Stalkanat, for
which it did not know that the
merchandise it sold was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.11
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 review shall
be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise associated with the U.S.
sales covered by the final results of this
review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.12

19 CFR 351.212(b).

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954
(May 6, 2003).
12 See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be in effect for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the notice of the final
results of this administrative review in
the Federal Register, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for Stalkanat will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin 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 participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in
which the company was reviewed; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or a previous segment of this
proceeding, but the producer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the most recently
completed segment for the producer of
the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will continue to be 19.30
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.13
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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 occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results of review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(l) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).

the entity that participated in the original investigation. Stalkanat
reported that it legally separated from Stalkanat-Silur and,

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, filed
electronically via ACCESS within 30 days of the date of publication of
this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address,
and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of
the issues to be discussed. An electronically-filed hearing request
must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on the established deadline.
Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in the
case briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of
this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, unless
otherwise extended.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative review,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
[[Page 45135]]
entries associated with the U.S. sales covered by this review.\9\ If
Stalkanat's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined
sales to the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties
at the time of liquidation. Where either Stalkanat's ad valorem
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-
specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis,10
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Commerce calculates margins above de minimis in the final
results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to take into account
the ``provisional measures deposit cap,'' in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(d).
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR, produced by
Stalkanat, for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold was
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ 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).
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise associated
with the U.S. sales covered by the final results of this review and for
future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be in effect for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the notice of
the final results of this administrative review in the Federal
Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for Stalkanat will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin 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 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 in which the company was
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or a
previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established in the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 19.30 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\13\

These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: June 30, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
