SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 9, 2017, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigations of imports of certain colddrawn mechanical tubing of carbon and 

alloy steel from Germany, India, Italy, 

Korea, the PRC, and Switzerland.1

Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

September 26, 2017. 

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

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

the Department initiated the 

investigation. However, section 

733(c)(1)) of the Act permits the 

Department to postpone the preliminary 

determination until no later than 190 

days after the date on which the 

Department initiated the investigation 

if: (A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) the 

Department 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. The 

Department will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. See 19 CFR 351.205(e). 

On September 1, 2017, ArcelorMittal 

Tubular Products; Michigan Seamless 

Tube, LLC; PTC Alliance Corp.; Webco 

Industries, Inc.; and Zekelman 

Industries, Inc. (collectively, the 

petitioners) submitted timely requests 

pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e) to postpone 

the preliminary determinations in these 

LTFV investigations.2 The petitioners 

stated that they request postponement 

because the Department is still gathering 

data and questionnaire responses from 

the foreign producers in these 

investigations, and additional time is 

necessary for the Department and 

interested parties to fully and properly 

analyze all questionnaire responses. 

For the reasons stated above and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, the Department, in 

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

the Act, is postponing the deadline for 

the preliminary determinations by 50 

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

which these investigations were 

initiated). As a result, the Department 

will issue its preliminary 

determinations no later than November 

15, 2017. In accordance with section 

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

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

determinations of these investigations 

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

determinations, 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).

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2015–2016 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On March 6, 2017, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

results of the third administrative 

review of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order on large residential washers 

(LRWs) from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea). The period of review (POR) is 

February 1, 2015, to January 31, 2016. 

Based on our analysis of the comments 

received and our verification findings, 

we made certain changes to the margin 

calculations. Therefore, the final results 

differ from the preliminary results. The 

final weighted-average dumping margin 

for the respondent, LG Electronics, Inc. 

(LGE), is listed below in the section 

entitled ‘‘Final Results of the Review.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The review covers one producer/ 

exporter of the subject merchandise: 

LGE. On March 6, 2017, the Department 

published the Preliminary Results.1 In 

April and June 2017, the Department 

verified the sales and cost of production 

data, respectively, reported by LGE, in 

accordance with section 782(i) of the 

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

In June and July 2017, respectively, 

we received sales and cost case briefs 

from Whirlpool Corporation (the 

petitioner) and LGE. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

all large residential washers and certain 

subassemblies thereof from Korea. The 

products are currently classifiable under 

subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 

8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Products subject to this order may also 

enter under HTSUS subheadings 

8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080, 

8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise subject to this scope is 

dispositive.2

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case briefs by 

parties are listed in the Appendix to this 

notice and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. Parties can find 

a complete discussion of these issues 

and the corresponding 

recommendations in this public 

memorandum, which 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 http://access.trade.gov; the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is also available 

to all parties in the Central Records 

Unit, Room B8024, of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on comments received from 

interested parties regarding our 

Preliminary Results and our findings at 

verification, we made certain changes to 

the preliminary weighted-average 

dumping margin calculations for LGE. 

For a discussion of these changes, see 

the ‘‘Margin Calculations’’ section of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of the Review 

We are assigning the following 

weighted-average dumping margin to 

LGE: 

Manufacturer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

LG Electronics, Inc ............... 0.00 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the 

Department has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. The 

Department intends to issue appropriate 

assessment instructions directly to CBP 

15 days after publication of the final 

results of this administrative review. 

We have calculated a zero margin for 

LGE in the final results of this review; 

therefore, we intend to instruct CBP to 

liquidate without regard to antidumping 

duties all shipments of subject 

merchandise manufactured and 

exported by LGE, entered or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption, 

during the POR. The Department’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by LGE, for 

which the company did not know that 

its merchandise was destined for the 

United States.3 In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

established in the less-than fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation (i.e., 11.80 

percent),4 if there is no rate for the 

intermediary company(ies) involved in 

the transaction who have their own 

individual weighted-average dumping 

margin in an already competed segment 

of this proceeding. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for LGE will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review (i.e., zero); (2) 

for merchandise exported by 

manufacturers or exporters not covered 

in this administrative review but 

covered in a prior completed segment of 

the proceeding, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most 

recently-completed segment; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

LTFV investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently-completed segment of this 

proceeding for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 11.80 

percent, the all-others rate determined 

in the LTFV investigation.5 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) 

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 the Secretary’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to

Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber 

From Brazil, the Republic of Korea, 

Mexico, and Poland: Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (the 

ITC), the Department is issuing 

antidumping duty orders on emulsion 

styrene-butadiene rubber (ESB rubber) 

from Brazil, the Republic of Korea 

(Korea), Mexico, and Poland. 

DATES: Applicable September 12, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on July 19, 2017, the 

Department published affirmative final 

determinations in the less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigations of ESB 

rubber from Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and 

Poland.1 On September 1, 2017, the ITC 

notified the Department of its 

affirmative determination 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 the LTFV imports of ESB 

rubber from Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and 

Poland, and its determination that 

critical circumstances do not exist with 

respect to imports of subject 

merchandise from Korea subject to the 

Department’s affirmative critical 

circumstances determination.2

For Mexico, on July 17, 2017, we 

received comments from Industrias 

Negromex S.A. de C.V. (Negromex), the 

sole mandatory respondent in the 

Mexico investigation, that we made 

ministerial errors in our final 

determination.3 The allegations raised 

by Negromex in its comments do not 

result in a change to Negromex’s margin 

from the final determination. As such, 

we are not amending Negromex’s 

margin from the final determination.4

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these orders 

are cold-polymerized emulsion styrenebutadiene rubber. For a complete 

description of the scope of these orders, 

see the Appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

In accordance with sections 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the 

ITC notified the Department 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 ESB rubber from 

Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and Poland. The 

ITC also notified the Department of its 

determination that critical 

circumstances do not exist with respect 

to imports of ESB rubber from Korea 

subject to the Department’s critical 

circumstances finding.5 Therefore, in 

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

Act, the Department is issuing these 

antidumping duty orders. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of ESB 

rubber from Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and 

Poland are materially injuring a U.S. 

industry, unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Brazil, Korea, 

Mexico, and Poland, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

As a result of the ITC’s final 

determination, in accordance with 

section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the 

Department will direct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, 

upon further instruction by the 

Department, 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 ESB rubber from 

Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and Poland. 

Antidumping duties will be assessed on 

unliquidated entries of ESB rubber from 

Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and Poland 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after February 24, 

2017, the date of publication of the 

preliminary determinations,6 but will
