Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
investigation in accordance with section
731 of the Act. Commerce calculated
export price in accordance with section
772(a) of the Act. Constructed export
prices have been calculated in
accordance with section 772(b) of the
Act. Normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying the
preliminary determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Sections 733(d)(1)(A)(ii) and
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that, in
the preliminary determination,
Commerce shall determine an estimated
all-others rate for all other exporters and
producers not individually examined.
This rate shall be an amount equal to
the weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually examined, excluding rates
that are zero, de minimis, or determined
entirely under section 776 of the Act.
In this investigation, Commerce
calculated estimated weighted-average
dumping margins for CEDAL Dura´n S.A.
(CEDAL Dura´n) and FISA Fundiciones
Industriales S.A. (FISA) that are not
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on
facts otherwise available. Commerce
calculated the all-others rate using a
weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the examined respondents
using each company’s publicly-ranged
values for the merchandise under
consideration.7
7 See Memorandum, ‘‘All-Others Rate
Calculation,’’ dated concurrently with this notice.
With two respondents under examination,
Commerce normally calculates: (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated weighted-average dumping
margins calculated for the examined respondents;
(B) a simple average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins calculated for the
examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average
of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the examined respondents using each
company’s publicly-ranged U.S. sales values for the
merchandise under consideration. Commerce then
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate
closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all
other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball
Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final
Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and
Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53662
(September 1, 2010), and accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum at Comment 1. As complete
publicly ranged sales data were available,
Commerce based the all-others rate on the publicly
ranged sales data of the mandatory respondents. For
a complete analysis of the data, see the All-Others
Rate Calculation Memorandum.
