issues to be discussed. Issues raised in 

the hearing will be limited to those 

raised in the respective case briefs. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. An electronically 

filed hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.11

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this NSR, including the results 

of its analysis of issues raised in any 

written briefs, no later than 90 days after 

the date of publication of this notice, 

unless extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

If Commerce issues a final rescission 

of this review, Commerce does not 

intend to instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate the 

relevant entry because the entry is 

subject to the administrative review 

covering the period April 1, 2020, 

through March 31, 2021, initiated on 

June 11, 2021.12

If Commerce does not proceed to a 

final rescission of this NSR, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.202(b)(1), it will calculate 

an importer-specific assessment rate 

based on the final results of this review. 

However, pursuant to Commerce’s 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

non-market economy cases, for entries 

that were not reported in the U.S. sales 

database submitted by Hualing, 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

rate.13

Cash Deposit Instructions 

If Commerce proceeds to a final 

rescission of this review, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

China-wide rate for Hualing because 

Commerce will not have determined an 

individual weighted-average dumping 

margin for Hualing. If Commerce 

determines an individual weightedaverage dumping margin for Hualing, it 

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits, effective upon the publication 

of the final results of review, equal to 

the calculated weighted-average 

dumping margin. 

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 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 duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: August 12, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 12, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this review in the Federal Register.1 We 

invited interested parties to comment on 

the Preliminary Results. Deacero S.A.P.I 

de C.V. (Deacero) was selected for 

individual examination as a mandatory 

respondent in this review. We received 

case briefs from Deacero and Nucor 

Corporation (Nucor, or the petitioner).2

Subsequently, we received a rebuttal 

brief from the petitioner and a letter in 

lieu of a rebuttal brief from Deacero.3

On May 27, 2021, we extended the 

deadline for the final results of the 

administrative review until August 11, 

2021.4 A complete summary of the 

events that occurred since publication 

of the Preliminary Results is found in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum.5

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 6

A full description of the scope of the 

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 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margins 

(percent) 

Deacero S.A.P.I de C.V ............. 9.82 

Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V ... 9.82 

Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V ...... 9.82 

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 companyspecific 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 20, 2021, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) initiated a lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation(s) 

of imports of organic soybean meal from 

India.1 Currently, the preliminary 

determination is due no later than 

September 7, 2021. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in an LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 190 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) The petitioner 2 makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On August 9, 2021, the petitioners 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in this LTFV 

investigation.3 The petitioners requested 

the postponement to permit Commerce 

to ‘‘fully develop the record in this 

investigation,’’ assess questionnaire 

responses, and issue supplemental 

questionnaires.4

For the reasons stated above and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, Commerce, in 

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, is postponing the deadline for 

the preliminary determination by 50 

days (i.e., 190 days after the date on 

which this investigation was initiated). 

As a result, Commerce will issue its 

preliminary determination no later than 

October 27, 2021. In accordance with 

section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determination of this investigation will 

continue to be 75 days after the date of 

the preliminary determination, unless 

postponed at a later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
