the non-examined companies in the 

final results of review. 

For the companies for which the 

administrative review is rescinded, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

a rate equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, 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 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). 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 cash deposits of 

estimated antidumping duties, where 

applicable.27

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the final results of this administrative 

review for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 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 companies subject 

to this review will be equal to the 

company-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative review; (2) 

for merchandise exported by a company 

not covered in this review but covered 

in a prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or the less-than-fair-value investigation, 

but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

in the most recently completed segment 

of the proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 8.91 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation.28 These cash 

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)(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 double antidumping 

duties, and/or an increase in the amount 

of antidumping duties by the amount of 

countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of review 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Shipper Administrative Review of Antidumping 

Duty Order,’’ dated August 5, 2024 (NSR Request). 

We note that this request was filed after close of 

business on August 5, 2024. As such, we treat 

August 6, 2024, as the official file date. See,

Review,’’ dated concurrently with this notice. 

13See, generally, NSR Request. 

14See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act. 

15The Act was amended by the Trade Facilitation 

and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 which removed 

from section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act the provision 

directing Commerce to instruct CBP to allow an 

importer the option of posting a bond or security 

in lieu of a cash deposit during the pendency of an 

NSR. This was also codified in Commerce’s 

regulations at 19 CFR 351.214(e). 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 

CFR 351.214(c), Commerce received a 

timely NSR request from Essen Steel 

Industry L.L.C. (Essen Steel).2

In its submission, Essen Steel certified 

that it is the producer and exporter of 

the subject merchandise subject to this 

NSR request.3 Pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(i), Essen Steel certified 

that it did not export PC strand to the 

United States during the period of 

investigation (POI).4 Additionally, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), 

Essen Steel certified that, since the 

initiation of the investigation, it has not 

been affiliated with any producer or 

exporter that exported PC strand to the 

United States during the POI, including 

those not individually examined during 

the investigation.5

In its submission, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), Essen Steel certified 

that it will provide necessary 

information related to the unaffiliated 

customer in the United States during the 

NSR.6 Essen Steel also provided a 

certification by its unaffiliated customer 

of its willingness to participate in the 

NSR.7

In addition to the certifications 

described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(v), Essen Steel submitted 

documentation establishing the 

following: (1) the date on which the 

subject merchandise was first entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption; (2) the volume of its first 

shipment, including whether such 

shipment was made in a commercial 

quantity; and (3) the date of its first sale 

to an unaffiliated customer in the 

United States.8 Essen Steel stated that it 

has not made subsequent shipments of 

subject merchandise during the POR.9

Additionally, Essen Steel submitted 

documentation establishing the 

circumstances surrounding such sale, 

including: (1) the price of such sale; (2) 

any expenses arising from such sale; (3) 

whether the subject merchandise 

involved in such sale was resold in the 

United States at a profit; and (4) 

whether such sale were made on an 

arms-length basis.10 Essen Steel also 

submitted documentation regarding its 

business activities, including: (1) its 

offers to sell merchandise in the United 

States; (2) an identification of the 

complete circumstance surrounding its 

sales to the United States, as well as any 

home market or third country sales; and 

(3) an identification of its relationship to 

the first unaffiliated U.S. purchaser.11

Commerce conducted a query of U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

data and confirmed that Essen Steel’s 

subject merchandise entered the United 

States for consumption and that 

liquidation of such entries had been 

properly suspended for antidumping 

duties. The CBP data that Commerce 

examined are consistent with 

information provided by Essen Steel in 

its NSR request. In particular, the CBP 

data confirm the price and quantity 

reported by Essen Steel for the sale that 

forms the basis of its NSR request.12

Period of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the POR for an NSR 

initiated in the month immediately 

following the semiannual anniversary 

month will be the six-month period 

immediately preceding the semiannual 

anniversary month. Therefore, the POR 

for this NSR is February 1, 2024, 

through July 31, 2024. 

Initiation of NSR 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b), and based 

on the information on the record, we 

find that Essen Steel’s NSR request 

meets the threshold requirements for 

initiation of an NSR of its shipment of 

PC strand to the United States.13

However, if the information supplied by 

Essen Steel is later found to be incorrect 

or insufficient during the course of this 

NSR, Commerce may rescind the review 

or apply adverse facts available, 

pursuant to section 776 of the Act, as 

appropriate. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce will publish 

the notice of initiation of an NSR no 

later than the last day of the month 

following the anniversary or semiannual 

anniversary month of the order. 

Commerce intends to issue the 

preliminary results of this review no 

later than 180 days from the date of 

initiation, and the final results of this 

review no later than 90 days after the 

date the preliminary results are 

issued.14

We intend to conduct this NSR in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 

the Act.15 Because Essen Steel certified 

that it exported subject merchandise, 

the sale of which is the basis for its NSR 

request, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

continue to suspend liquidation of all 

entries of subject merchandise produced 

and exported by Essen Steel. To assist 

in its analysis of the bona fide nature of 

Essen Steel’s sale, upon initiation of this 

NSR, Commerce will require Essen Steel 

to submit, on an ongoing basis, 

complete transaction information 

concerning any sales of subject 

merchandise to the United States that 

were made subsequent to the POR. 

Further, in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B)(iv)(VII) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(k), Essen Steel will be 

required to provide information 

regarding the following factors for 

Commerce’s consideration in 

determining whether the sales made by 

Essen Steel during the POR are bona 

fide: (1) whether the producer, exporter, 

or customer was established for 

purposes of the sale in question after the 

imposition of the relevant antidumping 

or countervailing duty order; (2) 

whether the producer, exporter, or 

customer has lines of business unrelated 

to the subject merchandise; (3) the 

quantity of sales; and (4) any other 

factor that Commerce determines to be 

relevant with respect to the future 

selling behavior of the producer or 

exporter, including any other indicia 

that the sale was not commercially 

viable. 

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in this NSR 

should submit applications for 

disclosure under administrative 

protective order in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.305 and 351.306. This 

initiation notice is published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 

351.221(c)(1)(i). 

Dated: September 9, 2024.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.
