SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 6, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\
We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\2\
Because we received no comments, the final results remain unchanged
from the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from Mexico:
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2019-2020, 86 FR 55579 (October 6, 2021) (Preliminary Results), and
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
\2\ See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 55579.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order is ESB rubber from Mexico. For
a complete description of the scope of the order, see Preliminary
Results PDM.
Final Results of the Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the respondent for the POR, September 1, 2019, through
August 31, 2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping

Disclosure
As noted above, no party commented on the Preliminary Results. As a
result, we have not modified our analysis from the Preliminary Results,
and we will not issue a decision memorandum to accompany this Federal
Register notice. We are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final
results of this review. Further, because we have not changed our
calculations since the Preliminary Results, there are no new
calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these
final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce 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. For Negromex, because its weighted-average dumping margin
is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of those same sales.
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Negromex for which
Negromex did not know that the 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.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 41 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate
for Negromex will be equal to its weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this
review, but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but
the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific 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 19.52 percent,\4\ the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation. These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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
of the relevant entries
[[Page 7800]]
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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to
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
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: February 3, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
