Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this final 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to continue the suspension of 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

UAN, as described in Appendix I of this 

notice, which were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after February 2, 

2022, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act, we will instruct CBP to require 

a cash deposit equal to the estimated 

amount by which the normal value 

exceeds the U.S. price in this final 

determination, as follows: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for each of the respondents 

listed in the table above is the companyspecific cash deposit rate listed for the 

respondent in the table; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent listed in the 

table above, but the producer is, then 

the cash deposit rate is the companyspecific cash deposit rate listed for the 

producer of the subject merchandise in 

the table above; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters is the ‘‘all others’’ cash 

deposit rate listed in the table above. 

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Commerce normally adjusts cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties by the amount of export subsidies 

countervailed in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding, 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. However, Commerce did not 

make an affirmative determination for 

countervailable export subsidies in the 

companion CVD investigation. 

Therefore, there is no offset to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the CVD rate for export 

subsidies. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its final affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Because the final 

determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make 

its final determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, no later than 45 days 

after our final determination. If the ITC 

determines that material injury or threat 

of material injury does not exist, the 

proceeding will be terminated, and all 

cash deposits will be refunded. If the 

ITC determines that material injury or 

threat of material injury does exist, 

Commerce will issue an antidumping 

duty order directing CBP to assess, upon 

further instruction by Commerce, 

antidumping duties on all imports of the 

subject merchandise, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

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 

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 the terms of an APO is 

a violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(c). 

Dated: June 17, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 2, 2022, Commerce 

published its Preliminary 

Determination.1 Commerce invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Determination. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the Preliminary 

Determination, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.2 The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is available 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 https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope Comments 

On January 26, 2022, we issued the 

Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum.3 Interested parties 

submitted case and rebuttal briefs 

concerning the scope of this 

investigation.4 For a summary of the 

product coverage comments and 

rebuttal responses submitted to the 

record of this investigation, and 

accompanying analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Final Scope 

Memorandum.5 Based on the comments 

received from interested parties, we are 

revising the scope of this investigation 

as it appeared in the Preliminary 

Determination.6 The scope in the 

Appendix reflects these changes. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is AB rubber from Korea. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of this investigation, see Appendix I. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).7

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues raised in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is attached to 

this notice as Appendix II. 

Methodology—Adverse Facts Available 

(AFA) 

For purposes of this final 

determination, we relied, in part, on 

facts available pursuant to section 

776(a)(2)(A) of the Act. As discussed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

because one respondent, LG Chemical, 

Ltd. (LG Chem), did not act to the best 

of its ability in responding to our 

requests for information, we drew 

adverse inferences, where appropriate, 

in selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, pursuant to section 

776(b) of the Act. LG Chem did not 

respond to Commerce’s initial 

antidumping duty questionnaire and we 

have continued to use an adverse 

inference in the selection of facts 

available for determining the dumping 

rate for this company, pursuant to 

section 776(d) of the Act. For further 

information, see the section ‘‘Use of 

Adverse Facts Available’’ in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Changes From the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculation for 

Kumho Petrochemical Co., Ltd. 

(Kumho) since the Preliminary 

Determination. See the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum for a discussion 

of these changes. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act. In this investigation, 

Commerce assigned an estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

based entirely on facts available, i.e., 

under section 776 of the Act, to LG 

Chem. Therefore, the only estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin that 

is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts otherwise available is 

the margin calculated for Kumho. Thus, 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin calculated for Kumho 

is the margin assigned to all other 

producers and exporters, pursuant to 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Final Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, in Part 

For the Preliminary Determination, in 

accordance with section 733(e) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce 

found that critical circumstances exist, 

in part, with respect to imports of AB 

rubber from Korea. Our final 

determination remains unchanged. 

Accordingly, pursuant to section 

735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, 

we continue to find that critical 

circumstances exist for LG Chem and 

companies covered by the ‘‘all others’’ 

rate, but do not exist for Kumho. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations performed in this final 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination, Commerce will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to continue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

February 2, 2022, the date of publication 

in the Federal Register of the 

affirmative Preliminary Determination. 

Further, in accordance with section 

733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to continue the suspension 

of liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, produced and/or exported by LG 

Chem or companies covered by the allothers rate which entered, or were 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after November 4, 

2021, which is 90 days before the date 

of publication in the Federal Register of 

the affirmative Preliminary 

Determination. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), upon 

the publication of this notice, we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

for such entries of merchandise equal to 

the following: (1) the cash deposit rate 

for the respondents listed in the table 

above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin determined in this 

final determination; (2) if the exporter is 

not a respondent identified above but 

the producer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin established for that 

producer of the subject merchandise; 

and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers and exporters will be equal to 

the all-others estimated weightedaverage dumping margin listed in the 

table above. These suspension of 

liquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of our final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. We will allow the ITC access to 

all privileged and business proprietary 

information in our files, provided the 

ITC confirms it will not disclose such 

information, either publicly or under an 

administrative protective order (APO), 

without the written consent of the 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Because Commerce’s final 

determination in this investigation is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make 

its final determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

subject merchandise from Korea no later 

than 45 days after our final 

determination. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does not exist, this 

proceeding will be terminated, and all 

cash deposits posted will be refunded. 

If the ITC determines that such injury 

does exist, Commerce will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

February 2, 2022, effective date of the 

suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a reminder to the 

parties subject to an 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 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

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this investigation 

is commonly referred to as acrylonitrile 

butadiene rubber or nitrile rubber (AB 

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. 

AB Rubber products that include a third 

component that is not methacrylic acid or 

isoprene are not covered by the scope. 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 HNBR) 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 December 3, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination.1 For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the Preliminary Determination, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 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 https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is January 

1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are UAN from Trinidad 

and Tobago. For a complete description 

of the scope of the investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

No interested party commented on the 

scope of the investigation as it appeared 

in the Preliminary Determination. 

Therefore, no changes were made to the 

scope of the investigation. 

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 

this investigation are discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. For 

a list of the issues raised by interested 

parties and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II 

to this notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For each of the 

subsidy programs found 

countervailable, Commerce determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.3 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our final determination, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of on-site verifications to verify the 

information relied upon in making this 

final determination, in accordance with 

section 782(i) of the Act.4

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

After evaluating the comments 

received from interested parties and 

record information, we have made no 

changes to the net countervailable 

subsidy rates calculated for Methanol 

Holdings (Trinidad) Limited (MHTL), 

the sole mandatory respondent in this 

investigation. For a discussion of these 

comments, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

In accordance with section 

705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated 

an individual estimated countervailable 

subsidy rate for MHTL. Section 

705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that, for 

companies not individually 

investigated, Commerce will determine 

an all-others rate equal to the weightedaverage countervailable subsidy rates 

established for exporters and/or 

producers individually investigated, 

excluding any zero and de minimis 

countervailable subsidy rates, and any 

rates determined entirely under section 

776 of the Act. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated countervailable subsidy rate 

for MHTL, the only individually 

examined producer/exporter in this 

investigation. Because the only 

individually calculated rate is not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available, the rate calculated 

for MHTL is the rate assigned to all 

other producers and exporters not 

individually examined in this 

investigation, pursuant to section 

705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated net countervailable 

subsidy rates exist:
