Ultra-High Molecular Weight 

Polyethylene From the Republic of 

Korea: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that ultra-high 

molecular weight polyethylene (ultrahigh polyethylene) from Republic of 

Korea (Korea) is being, or is likely to be, 

sold in the United States at less than fair 

value (LTFV). The period of 

investigation (POI) is January 1, 2019, 

through December 31, 2019. The final 

dumping margins of sales at LTFV are 

listed in the ‘‘Final Determination’’ 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable February 25, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ian 

Hamilton or Peter Skarlatos, AD/CVD 

Operations, Office II, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 

(202) 482–4798 or (202) 482–0324, 

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 6, 2020, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination, in which we also 

postponed the final determination to 

February 18, 2021.1 A summary of the 

events that occurred since Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination, as well as a full 

discussion of the issues raised by parties 

for this final determination, may be 

found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, which is hereby adopted 

by this notice.2

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is ultra-high polyethylene 

from Korea. For a complete description 

of the scope of the investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues raised is attached to this 

notice as Appendix II. The Issues and 

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 Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

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

index.html. The signed and electronic 

versions of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).3

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of both the 

comments received and the information 

received in lieu of on-site verification, 

we made certain changes to the margin 

calculations for KPIC. For a discussion 

of these changes, see the ‘‘Margin 

Calculation’’ section of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

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

provides that the estimated all-others 

rate shall be 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 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. Section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that if 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins for all individually 

investigated exporters and producers are 

zero or de minimis or determined 

11498 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 36 / Thursday, February 25, 2021 / Notices 

entirely under section 776 of the Act, 

then Commerce may use any reasonable 

method to establish the estimated allothers rate, including averaging the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins determined for the individually 

investigated exporters and producers. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for KPIC, 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 KPIC is the margin 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

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

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows: 

Exporter/manufacturer 

Weightedaverage 

margin 

(percent) 

Korea Petrochemical Ind. Co., 

Ltd./KPIC Corporation ............. 7.84 

All Others .................................... 7.84 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

For this final determination, for 

entries made by KPIC and the 

companies covered by the all-others 

rate, in accordance with section 

735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, we will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I of this notice, which were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after October 6, 

2020, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination of this 

investigation in the Federal Register. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

for such entries of merchandise equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin as follows: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for the respondent 

listed above will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin determined in 

this final determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not the 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. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of the 

final affirmative determination of sales 

at LTFV. We will allow the ITC access 

to all privileged and business 

proprietary information in our files, 

provided the ITC confirms that it will 

not disclose such information, either 

publicly or under an administrative 

protective order (APO), without the 

written consent of the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. Because the final 

determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make 

its final determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

ultra-high polyethylene from Korea no 

later than 45 days after our final 

determination. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does not exist, this 

proceeding will be terminated, and all 

cash deposits will be refunded. If the 

ITC determines that such injury does 

exist, Commerce will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

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. 

This determination and this notice are 

issued and published pursuant to 

sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: February 18, 2021. 

Christian Marsh, 

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by the scope is 

ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. 

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is 

a linear polyethylene, in granular or powder 

form is defined by its molecular weight, as 

defined by Margolie’s Equation, of greater 

than 1.0 × 106 g/mol. Ultra-high molecular 

weight polyethylene may also be defined by 

its melt mass-flow rate of <0.1 g/10 min, 

measured at 190 °C and 21.6 kg load, based 

on the methods and calculations set forth in 

the International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO) standards 21304–1 and 

21304–2. Ultra-high molecular weight 

polyethylene has a Chemical Abstract Service 

(CAS) registry number of 9002–88–4. 

The scope includes all ultra-high 

molecular weight polyethylene in granular or 

powder forms meeting the above 

specifications regardless of additives 

introduced in the manufacturing process. 

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene 

blended with other products is included in 

the scope of this investigation where ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene accounts 

for more than 50 percent, by actual weight, 

of the blend and the resulting blend 

maintains a molecular weight, as defined by 

Margolie’s Equation, of greater than 1.0 × 106 

g/mol and/or a melt mass-flow rate of <0.1 

g/10 min. 

Excluded from the scope of the 

investigation is medical-grade ultra-high 

molecular weight polyethylene. Medical 

grade ultra-high molecular weight 

polyethylene has a minimum viscosity of 

2,000 ml/g at a concentration of 0.02% at 

135 °C (275 °F) in decahydronaphthalene and 

an elongational stress of 0.2 MPa or greater. 

Medical-grade ultra-high molecular weight 

polyethylene is further defined by its ash and 

trace element content, which shall not 

exceed the following maximum quantities as 

set forth in ISO–5834–1: Ash (125 mg/kg), 

titanium (40 mg/kg), calcium (5 mg/kg), 

chlorine (30 mg/kg), and aluminum (20 mg/ 

kg). ISO 5834–1 further defines medical 

grade ultra-high molecular weight 

polyethylene by its particulate matter 

content, which requires that there shall be no 

more than three particles of contaminant per 

300 ± 20 g tested. Each of the above criteria 

is calculated based on the standards and 

methods used in ISO 5834–1. 

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene 

is classifiable under the HTSUS subheadings 

3901.10.1000 and 3901.20.1000. Although 

the HTSUS subheadings and CAS registry 

number are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, the written description of 

the scope is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on June 24, 

2020.1 The administrative review covers 

two mandatory respondents: (1) Jiangsu 

Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., (HK) 

Ltd.; Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination

Aluminum Foil Co., Ltd. (Xiashun). The 

administrative review also covers ten 

other companies that were not selected 

for individual examination. 

On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

deadlines for administrative reviews by 

60 days.3 On December 15, 2020, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

final results of this administrative 

review by 60 days.4 The deadline for the 

final results of this review is now 

February 19, 2021. For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.5

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, we found 

no evidence calling into question the 

no-shipment claims of Jiangsu 

Dingsheng New Materials Joint-Stock 

Co., Ltd. No parties commented on this 

preliminary decision. For the final 

results of this review, we continue to 

find that Jiangsu Dingsheng New 

Materials Joint-Stock Co., Ltd. had no 

shipments of subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties, Commerce has made two 

changes to the Preliminary Results. 

First, for Zhongji, we have revised our 

calculation of ash/dross to account for 

the metal content of the ash/dross. 

Second, we have revised our calculation 

of an adverse inference with regard to 

Xiashun. For a more detailed discussion 

of these changes, see the Final Analysis
