                    *Order*
                     is contained in 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, which is hereby adopted by this notice. The issues are identified in the 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 
                    *https://access.trade.gov.*
                     In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at 
                    *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​.* Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on the receipt of updated sales information filed subsequent to the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     as well as our analysis of the comments received from parties, we have made certain revisions to the margin calculation for Deacero.[7]
                    
                     For detailed information, 
                    *see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Determination of No Shipments In the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     Commerce preliminarily determined that Grupo Villacero S.A. de C.V. (Villacero) made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.[8]
                    
                     As we have not received any information to contradict this determination, nor comment in opposition to our preliminary finding, we continue to determine that Villacero made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with our practice, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of subject merchandise produced by Villacero, but exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate. Rates for Respondents Not Selected for Individual Examination Commerce did not select the following companies for individual examination: Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V. (Talleres y Aceros), and Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Ternium). Further, neither of these firms: Was the subject of a withdrawal of request for review; requested to participate as a voluntary respondent; submitted a claim of no shipments; nor was not otherwise collapsed with a mandatory respondent. As such, these companies remain respondents not selected for individual examination. As explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we have assigned to Talleres y Aceros and Ternium the weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Deacero. Final Results of the Review Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019: Producers/exporters

 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this proceeding within five days after publication of these final results in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For Deacero, Commerce has calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by the total entered value associated with those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis.*
                     For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Deacero for which it did not know its 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. For the companies not selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to apply an assessment rate to all entries produced and/or exported by those companies equal to the dumping margin indicated above. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 41 days after the date of publication of these final results of review.[9] Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) For producers or exporters covered in this administrative review, the cash deposit rates will be the rates established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 20.11 percent, the all-others rate established in the investigation.[10]
                    
                     These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also 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 
                    ( print page 46181)
                    of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of return/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. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h). Dated: August 11, 2021.
