Defense Stockpile Market Impact 

Committee, co-chaired by the 

Departments of Commerce and State. 

The role of this committee is to advise 

the National Defense Stockpile Manager 

on the projected domestic and foreign 

economic effects of all acquisitions, 

conversions, and disposals involving 

the National Defense Stockpile and 

related material research and 

development projects. Public comments 

are an important element of the 

committee’s market impact review 

process. 

DATES: To be considered, written 

comments must be received by October 

12, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Address all comments 

concerning this notice to Eric 

Longnecker, U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the authority of the Strategic 

and Critical Materials Stock Piling 

Revision Act of 1979, as amended (the 

Stock Piling Act) (50 U.S.C. 98 et seq.), 

the Department of Defense’s Defense 

Logistics Agency (DLA), as National 

Defense Stockpile Manager, maintains a 

stockpile of strategic and critical 

materials to supply the military, 

industrial, and essential civilian needs 

of the United States for national 

defense. Section 9(b)(2)(G)(ii) of the 

Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C. 

98h(b)(2)(H)(ii)) authorizes the National 

Defense Stockpile Manager to fund 

material research and development 

projects to develop new materials for 

the stockpile. 

Section 3314 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 

(FY 1993 NDAA) (50 U.S.C. 98h–1) 

formally established a Market Impact 

Committee (the Committee) to ‘‘advise 

the National Defense Stockpile Manager 

on the projected domestic and foreign 

economic effects of all acquisitions and 

disposals of materials from the stockpile 

. . . .’’ The Committee must also 

balance market impact concerns with 

the statutory requirement to protect the 

U.S. Government against avoidable loss. 

See 50 U.S.C. 98e (b)(2). 

The Committee is comprised of 

representatives from the Departments of 

Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense, 

Energy, Interior, the Treasury, and 

Homeland Security, and is co-chaired 

by the Departments of Commerce and 

State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the 

Committee to consult with industry 

representatives that produce, process, or 

consume the types of materials stored in 

the stockpile. 

As the National Defense Stockpile 

Manager, the DLA must produce an 

Annual Materials Plan (AMP) proposing 

the maximum quantity of each listed 

material that may be acquired, disposed 

of, upgraded, converted, recovered, or 

sold by the DLA in a particular fiscal 

year. In Attachment 1 to this notice, the 

DLA lists the quantities and types of 

activity—potential disposals, potential 

acquisitions, potential conversions 

(upgrade, rotation, reprocessing, etc.) or 

potential recovery (from government 

sources)—associated with each material 

in its proposed FY 2023 AMP. The 

quantities listed in Attachment 1 are not 

acquisition, disposal, upgrade, 

conversion, recovery, reprocessing, or 

sales target quantities, but rather a 

statement of the proposed maximum 

quantity of each listed material that may 

be acquired, disposed of, upgraded, 

converted, recovered, or sold in a 

particular fiscal year by the DLA. The 

quantity of each material that will 

actually be acquired or offered for sale 

will depend on the market for the 

material at the time of the acquisition or 

offering, as well as on the quantity of 

each material approved by Congress for 

acquisition, disposal, conversion, or 

recovery. 

The Committee is seeking public 

comments on the potential market 

impact associated with the proposed FY 

2023 AMP as enumerated in Attachment 

1. Public comments are an important 

element of the Committee’s market 

impact review process. 

Submission of Comments 

The Committee requests that 

interested parties provide written 

comments, supporting data and 

documentation, and any other relevant 

information on the potential market 

impact of the quantities associated with 

the proposed FY 2023 AMP. All 

comments must be submitted to the 

addresses indicated in this notice. All 

comments submitted through email 

must include the phrase ‘‘Market Impact 

Committee Notice of Inquiry’’ in the 

subject line. 

The Committee encourages interested 

persons who wish to comment to do so 

at the earliest possible time. The period 

for submission of comments will close 

on October 12, 2021. The Committee 

will consider all comments received 

before the close of the comment period. 

Comments received after the comment 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
50526 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 172 / Thursday, September 9, 2021 / Notices 

period closes will be considered, if 

possible, but their consideration cannot 

be assured. 

All comments submitted in response 

to this notice will be made a matter of 

public record and will be available for 

public inspection and copying. Any 

person submitting business confidential 

information should clearly identify the 

business confidential portion of the 

submission and also provide a nonconfidential submission that can be 

placed in the public record. The 

Committee will seek to protect such 

information to the extent permitted by 

law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 23, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results.1 On 

April 22, 2021, Commerce received case 

briefs on behalf of the petitioners 2 and 

Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Deacero). On 

April 29, 2021, the petitioners and 

Deacero submitted rebuttal briefs. 

Commerce extended the deadline for 

the final results by 58 days on June 22, 

2021.3 The deadline for the final results 

of this review is now September 17, 

2021. For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.4

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

steel concrete reinforcing bar from 

Mexico. For a complete description of 

the scope, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues that parties raised and 

to which we responded in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is attached 

to this notice as an Appendix. 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/. 

Determination of No Shipments 

As noted in the Preliminary Results, 

we received a no-shipment claim from 

Ternium. In the Preliminary Results, we 

preliminarily determined that Ternium 

had no shipments during the POR. We 

received no comments from interested 

parties with respect to this claim. 

Therefore, we continue to find that 

Ternium had no shipments during the 

POR. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties, we: (1) Corrected an error in 

Commerce’s dumping margin 

programming when calculating the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Deacero; (2) used a revised U.S. sales 

database; (3) updated the date assigned 

to U.S. sales without a reported 

payment date; and (4) updated our 

calculation of the cost of scrap.5

Rates for Companies Not Selected for 

Individual Examination 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

individual companies not selected for 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

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

Generally, Commerce looks to section 

735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides 

instructions for calculating the allothers rate in an investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate for 

companies which we did not examine 

in an administrative review. Section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act establishes a 

preference to avoid using rates which 

are zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts available (FA) in calculating an 

all-others rate. Accordingly, 

Commerce’s practice in administrative 

reviews has been to average the 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the companies selected for individual 

examination in the annual review, 

excluding rates that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on FA.6 For 

these final results of review, we 

calculated a weighted-average dumping 

margin for Deacero that is above de 

minimis and not based entirely on FA. 

Therefore, consistent with our practice, 

we have assigned the companies not 

selected for individual examination 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 November 

1, 2018, through October 31, 2019:
