SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 12, 2021, Commerce received a petition concerning
imports of ESBR from Italy, filed in proper form by the petitioner.\1\
Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on
December 10, 2021.\2\ On April 29, 2022, Commerce published its
preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation of ESBR from
Italy.\3\ On May 2, 2022, the petitioner submitted a letter withdrawing
the Petition with respect to Italy.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Petition (Vol. I-IV) for the
Imposition of Antidumping Duties on Imports of Emulsion Styrene-
Butadiene Rubber from Czech Republic, Italy, and Russia,'' dated
November 12, 2021 (Petition).
\2\ See Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from the Czech
Republic, Italy, and the Russian Federation: Initiation of Less-
Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 86 FR 70447 (December 10, 2021).
\3\ See Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from Italy:
Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value, 87 FR 25447 (April 29, 2022) (Preliminary Determination), and
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
\4\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber
from Italy: Petitioner's Withdrawal of Antidumping Duty Petition
Alleging Sales of ESBR from Italy at LTFV (Vol. III),'' dated May 2,
2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 351.207(b)(1) of Commerce's regulations stipulates that the
Secretary may terminate an investigation, provided it has concluded
that termination of the investigation is in the public interest.
Because the petitioner has withdrawn its Petition with respect to
Italy, Commerce has concluded that termination is in the public
interest, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1). Accordingly, pursuant to
section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
19 CFR 351.207(b)(1), and based on the petitioner's letter withdrawing
the Petition, we are terminating this LTFV investigation.
Termination of the Investigation
In accordance with section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.207(b)(1), upon the petitioner's withdrawal of the Petition, we are
terminating the LTFV investigation of ESBR from Italy.
Suspension of Liquidation
In the Preliminary Determination, Commerce determined weighted-
average dumping margins for exporters of ESBR from Italy that were
above de minimis. Because Commerce is terminating this LTFV
investigation, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
terminate suspension of liquidation and refund any cash deposits of
estimated antidumping duties for entries of ESBR form Italy.
Dated: May 5, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
