respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 

the final results of review, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties in accordance with the Final 

Modification for Reviews.12

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 deposits of estimated 

duties, where applicable. 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 for estimated antidumping 

duties will be effective upon publication 

of the notice of final results of this 

review for all shipments of ESB rubber 

from Brazil entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for ARLANXEO Brasil 

will be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of the review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by companies not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior segment of this proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 19.61 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.13 These cash 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)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this period 

of review. 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 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

these results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: January 15, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 12, 2019, based on 

timely requests for review, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review on HWR pipes 

and tubes from Mexico.1 This review 

covers 11 producers and exporters of the 

subject merchandise. Commerce 

selected two companies, Maquilacero 

S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero) and 

Productos Laminados de Monterrey S.A. 

de C.V. (Prolamsa), for individual 

examination. The producers and/or 

exporters not selected for individual 

examination are listed in the 

‘‘Preliminary Results of the Review’’ 

section of this notice. 

On April 21, 2020, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2), Commerce extended the 

time limit for issuing the preliminary 

results of this administrative review to 

September 29, 2020.2 On April 24, 2020, 

Commerce tolled all deadlines in 

administrative reviews by 50 days, 

thereby extending the deadline for 

issuing the preliminary results of this 

administrative review to November 18, 

2020.3 On July 21, 2020, Commerce 

again tolled all deadlines for 

preliminary and final results in 

administrative reviews by an additional 

60 days.4 Therefore, the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review is January 19, 

2021.

subject to the order are currently 

classified under the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

item number 7306.61.1000. Subject 

merchandise may also be classified 

under 7306.61.3000. Although the 

HTSUS numbers and ASTM

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Act. Export price and 

constructed export price are calculated 

in accordance with section 772 of the 

Act. NV is calculated in accordance 

with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see 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, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an appendix to this notice. 

Rate for Non-Selected Respondents 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

rate 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 

market economy investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate 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 investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

In this review, we have preliminarily 

calculated a weighted-average dumping 

margin for these companies using the 

calculated rates of the mandatory 

respondents, Maquilacero and Prolamsa, 

which are not zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely on the basis of facts 

available.6

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period September 

1, 2018 through August 31, 2019: 

Producers/exporters 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Maquilacero S.A. de C.V ............ 0.00 

Productos Laminados de 

Monterrey S.A. de C.V ............ 1.75 

Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable 

to the Following Companies: 

Arco Metal S.A. de C.V .............. 1.75 

Forza Steel S.A. de C.V ............. 1.75 

Industrias Monterrey, S.A. de 

C.V .......................................... 1.75 

Perfiles y Herrajes LM S.A. de 

C.V .......................................... 1.75 

PYTCO S.A. de C.V ................... 1.75

Tubos S.A. de C.V .................. 1.75 

Ternium S.A. de C.V .................. 1.75 

Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de C.V ... 1.75 

Tuberias Procarsa S.A. de C.V .. 1.75 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice.7

Verification 

On February 19, 2020, Commerce 

received a request from the petitioners 8

to conduct verification of the responses 

in this administrative review.9

Commerce is currently unable to 

conduct on-site verification of the 

information relied upon for the final 

results of this review. Accordingly, we 

intend to take additional steps in lieu of 

on-site verification. Commerce will 

notify interested parties of any 

additional documentation or 

information required. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. A timeline for the 

submission of case briefs and written 

comments will be provided to interested 

parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed no later than seven 

days after the deadline for filing case 

briefs.10 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.11 Case and 

rebuttal briefs should be filed using 

ACCESS.12

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, U.S. Department of

a list of issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the briefs. If 

a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined.14

Parties should confirm the date, time, 

and location of the hearing two days 

before the scheduled date. 

An electronically-filed document 

must be received successfully in its 

entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the established 

deadline.

publication of this notice, unless 

otherwise extended.15

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries.16

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where Maquilacero and Prolamsa 

reported the entered value of their U.S. 

sales, we 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 the 

sales for which entered value was 

reported. Where Prolamsa did not report 

entered value, we calculated the entered 

value in order to determine the 

assessment rate. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 

importer-specific rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

weighted average 17 of the cash deposit 

rates calculated for Maquilacero and 

Prolamsa, excluding any which are zero, 

de minimis, or determined entirely on 

adverse facts available. The final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.18

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Maquilacero or Prolamsa for which 

the reviewed companies did not know 

that the merchandise they sold to the 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.19

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 41 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following 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 companies 

listed above 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 covered in this review, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific cash deposit rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment in which the 

company was reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation, but the producer is, then 

the cash deposit rate will be the cash 

deposit rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 4.91 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.20 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Background 

On November 12, 2019, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review for the
