SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 4, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
the 2020 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from Thailand.\1\ We
invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. On
May 31, 2022, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results of
this administrative review until August 3, 2022.\2\ For a summary of
the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.\3\ Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Prestressed Concrete
Steel Wire Strand from Thailand, 69 FR 4111 (January 28, 2004)

The merchandise covered by this Order is PC strand from Thailand. A
full description of the scope of the Order is contained in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs
filed in this administrative review in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is included in the appendix to this notice. 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 <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
at <a href="https://access.trade/gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade/gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and the comments received from
interested parties, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Siam Industrial Wire Co. Ltd........................... 0.98
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose the calculations performed in
connection with the final results of review to parties to the
proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because
Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation methodology used
in the Preliminary Results, there are no additional calculations to
disclose for the final results of this review.

Assessment Rates
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 section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), and given that SIW reported
entered values for all of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-
specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate
is de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1) (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent), we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Consistent with Commerce's clarification of its assessment
practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
SIW for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation \5\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Id.
\6\ 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 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of PC strand from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for SIW will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results
of this review; (2) for producers or exporters 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 in 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 producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the most recently completed segment for
the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 12.91 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation in this
proceeding.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 during this POR. 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 also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. 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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 1, 2022.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
