Rubber). AB Rubber is a synthetic rubber 

produced by the emulsion polymerization of 

butadiene and acrylonitrile with or without 

the incorporation of a third component 

selected from methacrylic acid or isoprene. 

This scope covers AB Rubber in solid or nonaqueous liquid form. The scope also includes 

carboxylated AB Rubber. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation is AB Rubber in latex form 

(commonly classified under Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading 4002.51.0000). Latex AB Rubber 

is commonly either (a) acrylonitrile/ 

butadiene polymer in latex form or (b) 

acrylonitrile/butadiene/methacrylic acid 

polymer in latex form. The broader definition 

of latex refers to a water emulsion of a 

synthetic rubber obtained by polymerization. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation is: (a) AB Rubber containing 

additives incorporated during the 

compounding, mixing, molding, or use of AB 

Rubber comprising greater than twenty 

percent of the total weight of the product. 

Additives would include, but are not limited 

to, fillers (e.g. carbon black, silica, clay); 

reinforcement agents (e.g. fibers, carbon 

black, silica); vulcanization agents (e.g. 

sulfur, sulfur complexes, peroxide); or AB 

Rubber containing extension oils making up 

greater than forty percent of the total weight 

of the product. Such products would be 

generally classified under HTSUS 

subheading 4005; (b) AB Rubber containing 

polyvinyl chloride (PVC) making up greater 

than twenty percent of total weight of the 

product; (c) hydrogenated AB Rubber 

(commonly referred to as AB Rubber) 

produced by subsequent dissolution and 

hydrogenation of AB Rubber; (d) reactive 

liquid polymers containing acrylonitrile and 

butadiene with amine, epoxy, carboxyl or 

methacrylate vinyl chemical functionality. 

Subject merchandise includes material 

matching the above description that has been 

finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in 

a third country, including by modifying 

physical form or packaging with another 

product, or performing any other finishing, 

packaging, or processing that would not 

otherwise remove the merchandise from the 

scope of the investigation if performed in the 

country of manufacture of the AB Rubber. 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is classified in the HTSUS at 

subheading 4002.59.0000. While the HTSUS 

subheading numbers are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise under 

investigation is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 4, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results 1 of 

this administrative review. POSCO is 

the sole producer and exporter subject 

to the review. For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the Preliminary Results, see the Issues

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 3

The scope of the Order includes 

certain hot-rolled products of carbon 

steel and alloy steel, in coils, of 

approximately round cross section, less 

than 19.00 mm in actual solid crosssectional diameter. On April 8, 2019, 

Commerce excluded from the scope of 

the Order grade 1078 and higher tire 

cord quality wire rod used in the 

production of tire cord wire.4 On June 

13, 2019, Commerce excluded from the 

scope of the Order valve spring quality 

steel products defined as wire rod.5 For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of these 

issues is attached in an appendix to this 

notice. 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Change Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received from interested 

parties, a review of the record, and for 

the reasons explained in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, we revised the 

general and administrative expenses 

ratio and changed the preliminary 

margin calculation. 

Final Results of the Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists for the period May 1, 2019, 

through April 30, 2020:

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise in 

accordance with the final results of this 

review.6 In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), Commerce calculated an 

importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping assessment rate for POSCO 

that is not zero or de minimis, and will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review. 

Consistent with Commerce’s 

assessment practice, for entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by POSCO for which it did 

not know that the merchandise was 

destined for the United States, 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.7

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 will be effective for all 

shipments of 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 POSCO is 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this review; (2) for previously 

investigated companies not 

participating in this review, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter was not 

covered in this review or the 

investigation, but the producer was 

covered, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established in the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of subject merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 41.10 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the original less-than-fairvalue investigation.8 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final 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 review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

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

written 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 terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: January 27, 2022.
