other party requested an administrative 

review of these parties. 

Partial Rescission of the 2019–2020 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review. The aforementioned withdrawal 

request was timely submitted and no 

other interested party requested an 

administrative review of Rummo and 

Pasta Castiglioni. Therefore, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

and consistent with our practice,4 we 

are rescinding this review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain pasta 

from Italy, in part, with respect to 

Rummo and Pasta Castiglioni. 

The review will continue with respect 

to the following companies: Agritalia, 

Armonie D’Italia, F. Divella, Ghigi/ 

Zara,5 La Molisana, Pasta Liguori, 

Pastificio C.A.M.S., Pastificio Della 

Forma, and Fratelli De Luca. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. For the companies for which 

this review is rescinded, Rummo and 

Pasta Castiglioni, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed at rates equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period July 1, 

2019, through June 30, 2020, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of this rescission notice in 

the Federal Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

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 and/or countervailing 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/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 violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4).

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).5 No interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. Commerce is 

preliminarily not modifying the scope 

language as it appeared in the Initiation 

Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to 

this notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated export prices in accordance 

with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal 

value (NV) 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)(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 exporters and producers not 

individually examined. This rate shall 

be an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. Commerce 

calculated an individual estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd. (PMB Silicon), 

the only individually-examined 

exporter/producer in this investigation. 

Because the only individually 

calculated dumping margin is not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available, the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for PMB Silicon is the margin 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd .......... 7.21 

All Others .............................. 7.21 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Further, pursuant 

to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin or the estimated allothers rate, as follows: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for the respondent listed 

above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin determined in this 

preliminary determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent identified 

above, but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

that producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. Commerce is 

currently unable to conduct on-site 

verification of the information relied 

upon in making its final determination 

in this investigation. 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 notified to interested 

parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in case briefs, 

may be submitted no later than seven 

days after the deadline date for case 

briefs.6 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.7

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this investigation 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. 

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, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s 

regulations requires that a request by

exporters for postponement of the final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On November 3, 2020, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), PMB Silicon requested 

that Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.8 In accordance with 

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination. If the 

final determination is affirmative, the 

ITC will determine before the later of 

120 days after the date of this 

preliminary determination or 45 days 

after the final determination whether 

these imports are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(c).

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing antidumping duty

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on December 11, 2020, 

Commerce published its affirmative 

final determinations in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigations of PC 

strand from Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, 

the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, 

Turkey, and the UAE.1 On January 25, 

2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its 

final affirmative determinations that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by 

reason of the LTFV imports of PC strand 

from Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, the 

Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, 

Turkey, and the UAE.2

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is PC strand. For a complete 

description of the scope of the orders, 

see the appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

On January 25, 2021, in accordance 

with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) 

of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce 

of its final determinations that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of PC strand from Argentina, Colombia, 

Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, 

Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE.3

Therefore, Commerce is issuing these 

antidumping duty orders in accordance 

with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the 

Act. Because the ITC determined that 

imports of PC strand from Argentina, 

Colombia, Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi 

Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE 

are materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Argentina, Colombia, 

Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, 

Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE, which 

are entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption, are subject 

to the assessment of antidumping 

duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border
