to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to

reminder to parties subject to

their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in

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.

From Brazil, the Republic of Korea,

SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the U.S. Department
of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) orders emulsion styrene-butadiene
rubber (ESB rubber) from Brazil, the
Republic of Korea (Korea), Mexico, and
Poland would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, Commerce is publishing
a notice of continuation of these AD
orders.
DATES: Applicable August 2, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On September 12, 2017, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
AD orders on ESB rubber from Brazil,
Korea, Mexico, and Poland.1 On August
1, 2022, the ITC instituted, and
Commerce initiated, the first sunset
review of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).2 As a result of its
reviews, Commerce determined that
revocation of the Orders would likely
lead to the continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and therefore, notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the margins of

dumping likely to prevail should the
Orders be revoked.3
On August 2, 2023, the ITC published
its determination, pursuant to sections
751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that
revocation of the Orders would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.4
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the Orders
are cold-polymerized ESB rubber. The
scope of the Orders includes, but is not
limited to, ESB rubber in primary forms,
bales, granules, crumbs, pellets,
powders, plates, sheets, strip, etc. ESB
rubber consists of non-pigmented
rubbers and oil-extended nonpigmented rubbers, both of which
contain at least one percent of organic
acids from the emulsion polymerization
process.
ESB rubber is produced and sold in
accordance with a generally accepted
set of product specifications issued by
the International Institute of Synthetic
Rubber Producers (IISRP). The scope of
the investigations covers grades of ESB
rubber included in the IISRP 1500 and
1700 series of synthetic rubbers. The
1500 grades are light in color and are
often described as ‘‘Clear’’ or ‘‘White
Rubber.’’ The 1700 grades are oilextended and thus darker in color and
are often called ‘‘Brown Rubber.’’
Specifically excluded from the scope
of these Orders are products which are
manufactured by blending ESB rubber
with other polymers, high styrene resin
master batch, carbon black master batch
(i.e., IISRP 1600 series and 1800 series)
and latex (an intermediate product).
The products subject to these Orders
are currently classifiable under
subheadings 4002.19.0015 and
4002.19.0019 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
ESB rubber is described by Chemical
Abstract Services (CAS) Registry No.
9003–55–8. This CAS number also
refers to other types of styrene
butadiene rubber. Although the HTSUS
subheadings and CAS registry number
are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of these Orders
is dispositive.

We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with
these final results to parties in this proceeding within five days of
the date of publication of this notice, 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),
Commerce shall determine, 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. For
any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the examined sales to that importer, and we will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Lucchini for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined to
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at
the all-others rate of 7.33 percent, if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 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
subject to this review will be the rate established in these final
results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company 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 cash deposit rate published in the completed segment for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of
the
[[Page 55011]]
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 7.33 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\5\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
