SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 29, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results
and invited interested parties to comment.\1\ No interested party
submitted comments on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final
results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. Commerce
conducted this review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).

and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

\2\ See Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from Brazil, the
Republic of Korea, Mexico, and Poland: Antidumping Duty Orders, 82
FR 42790 (September 12, 2017) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise covered by the Order is cold-polymerized emulsion
styrene-butadiene rubber. For a complete description of the scope of
the Order, see the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the respondent for the POR, September 1, 2020, through
August 31, 2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Industrias Negromex S.A. de C.V............................ 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently,
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)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, 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 zero, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries reported in this
review without regard to antidumping duties. Consistent with Commerce's
assessment practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Negromex for which it did not know its 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
[[Page 3712]]
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 zero; (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; (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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Order, 82 FR at 42791.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 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 also serves as a 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 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, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5) and
19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: January 12, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
