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). 

Dated: January 26, 2021.

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

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise, for all 

relevant entries of PC strand from 

Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, the 

Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, 

Turkey, and the UAE. Antidumping 

duties will be assessed on unliquidated 

entries of PC strand from Argentina, 

Colombia, Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi 

Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after September 

30, 2020, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determinations.4

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 736 of the 

Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

continue to suspend liquidation on all 

relevant entries of PC strand from 

Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, the 

Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, 

Turkey, and the UAE which are entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register. 

These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

We will also instruct CBP to require 

cash deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties equal to the amounts as indicated 

below. Accordingly, effective on the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determinations, CBP will require, 

at the same time as importers would 

normally deposit estimated duties on 

this subject merchandise, a cash deposit 

equal to the cash deposit rates listed 

below.5 The relevant all-others rate 

applies to all producers or exporters not 

specifically listed, as appropriate.

Critical Circumstances 

With regard to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination on 

imports of PC strand from Colombia, 

Egypt, the Netherlands, and Turkey, we 

will instruct CBP to lift suspension and 

to refund any cash deposits made to 

secure the payment of estimated 

antidumping duties with respect to 

entries of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after July 2, 2020 

(i.e., 90 days prior to the date of the 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations), but before September 

30, 2020 (i.e., the date of publication of 

the Preliminary Determinations). 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months, except that Commerce may 

extend the four-month period to no 

more than six months at the request of 

exporters representing a significant 

proportion of exports of the subject 

merchandise. Commerce’s Preliminary 

Determinations were published on 

September 30, 2020.7 Commerce’s Final 

Determinations were not extended and 

were published on December 11, 2020.8

As such, the four-month period 

beginning on the date of publication of 

the Preliminary Determinations ended 

on January 27, 2021. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation, and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of PC strand from Argentina, 

Colombia, Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi 

Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption after January 27, 2021, 

the date on which the provisional 

measures expired, through the day 

preceding the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final affirmative injury 

determinations in the Federal Register. 

Suspension of liquidation will resume 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final affirmative injury determinations 

in the Federal Register. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice constitutes the 

antidumping duty orders with respect to 

PC strand from Argentina, Colombia, 

Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, 

Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE pursuant
