Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), on July 23, 2021, 

Commerce published its affirmative 

final determinations in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigations of 

methionine from Japan and Spain.1 On 

September 7, 2021, the ITC notified 

Commerce of its final determinations, 

pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by 

reason of LTFV imports of methionine 

from Japan and Spain, and its negative 

critical circumstances finding with

respect to dumped imports of 

methionine from Spain.2

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these orders 

are methionine from Japan and Spain. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of these orders, see the appendix to this 

notice. 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

On September 7, 2021, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

determinations in these investigations, 

in which it found that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured by 

reason of imports of methionine from 

Japan and Spain.3 Therefore, in 

accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the 

Act, Commerce is issuing these 

antidumping duty orders. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of 

methionine from Japan and Spain are 

materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Japan and Spain, 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise, for all 

relevant entries of methionine from 

Japan and Spain. With the exception of 

entries occurring after the expiration of 

the provisional measures period and 

before publication of the ITC’s final 

affirmative injury determinations, as 

further described below, antidumping 

duties will be assessed on unliquidated 

entries of methionine from Japan and 

Spain entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption, on or after 

March 4, 2021, the date of publication 

of the Preliminary Determinations.4

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional 

Measures’’ section of this notice, in 

accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of 

the Act, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to continue to suspend liquidation 

on all relevant entries of methionine 

from Japan and Spain. These 

instructions suspending liquidation will 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Commerce will also instruct CBP to 

require cash deposits equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins indicated in the tables below. 

Accordingly, effective on the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determinations, CBP will require, 

at the same time as importers would 

normally deposit estimated duties on 

subject merchandise, a cash deposit 

equal to the rates listed below. The 

relevant all-others rate applies to all 

producers or exporters not specifically 

listed. 

Critical Circumstances 

With regard to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination on 

imports of methionine from Spain, we 

will instruct CBP to lift suspension and 

to refund any cash deposits made to 

secure the payment of estimated 

antidumping duties with respect to 

entries of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after December 4, 

2020 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of 

the publication of the Spain Preliminary 

Determination), but before March 4, 

2021 (i.e., the date of publication of the 

Spain Preliminary Determination). 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months, except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request that Commerce extend the fourmonth period to no more than six 

months. At the request of exporters that 

account for a significant proportion of 

methionine from Japan and Spain, 

Commerce extended the four-month 

period to six months in each of these 

investigations. Commerce published the 

preliminary determinations in these 

investigations on March 4, 2021.5

The extended provisional measures 

period, beginning on the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations, ended on August 31, 

2021. Therefore, in accordance with 

section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce 

intends to instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of methionine from Japan and 

Spain entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption after 

August 31, 2021, the final day on which 

the provisional measures were in effect, 

until and through the day preceding the 

date of publication of the ITC’s final 

affirmative injury determinations in the 

Federal Register. Suspension of 

liquidation and the collection of cash 

deposits will resume on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final 

determinations in the Federal Register.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is amending the final 

results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on carbon 

and certain alloy steel wire rod (wire 

rod) from Mexico to correct a ministerial 

error. The period of review (POR) is 

October 1, 2018, through September 30, 

2019. 

DATES: Applicable September 14, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Benjamin A. Smith, AD/CVD

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 

(202) 482–2181. 

Background 

On August 16, 2021, Commerce 

disclosed its calculations for the Final 

Results 1 to interested parties.2 On 

August 23, 2021, we received a 

ministerial error allegation from Nucor 

Corporation (Nucor), a domestic 

interested party, regarding Commerce’s 

home market program calculations.3 No 

other party made an allegation of 

ministerial errors or submitted a reply to 

Nucor’s ministerial error allegation. 

Legal Framework 

Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), defines a 

‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors 

in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical errors 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

unintentional error which the 

administering authority considers 

ministerial.’’ With respect to final 

results of administrative reviews, 19 

CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and, if appropriate, correct any 

ministerial error by amending . . . the 

final results of review . . . .’’ 

Ministerial Error 

Commerce agrees with Nucor that 

Commerce made an inadvertent, 

unintentional error in the Final Results 

within the meaning of section 751(h) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) with 

respect to treatment of reported late 

payment fees in the margin calculation 

for the sole mandatory respondent, 

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

Accordingly, Commerce determines 

that, in accordance with section 751(h) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it 

made a ministerial error in the Final 

Results. 

For a complete discussion of the 

ministerial error allegation, as well as 

Commerce’s analysis, see the 

accompanying Ministerial Error 

Memorandum.4 The Ministerial Error 

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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce is amending the Final 

Results to reflect the correction of a 

ministerial error in the calculation of 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to Deacero in the Final Results, 

which changes from 9.82 percent to 9.84 

percent. Furthermore, we are revising 

the review-specific, weighted-average 

dumping margin applicable to the 

companies not selected for individual 

examination in this administrative 

review, Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V. 

(Talleres y Aceros), and Ternium 

Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Ternium), which 

is based entirely on Deacero’s weightedaverage dumping margin.5

Amended Final Results 

As a result of correcting the 

ministerial error, 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 ............. 9.84 

Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V ... 9.84 

Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V ...... 9.84 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days after publication of 

these amended 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 

amended final results of this review. 

For Deacero, Commerce has 

calculated importer-specific 

antidumping duty assessment rates by
