SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this administrative 
review on December 6, 2017.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment 
on the Preliminary Results. On January 8, 2018, Commerce received a 
timely filed case brief from the Petitioner,\2\ and on January 11, 
2018, Commerce received a timely filed rebuttal brief from Deacero.\3\ 
On February 8, 2018, Commerce officials met with counsel for the 
Petitioner.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    Imports covered by the order are shipments of steel concrete 
reinforcing bar imported in either straight length or coil form (rebar) 
regardless of metallurgy, length, diameter, or grade. The merchandise 
subject to review is currently classifiable under items 7213.10.0000, 
7214.20.0000, and 7228.30.8010. The subject merchandise may also enter 
under other Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 
numbers including 7215.90.1000, 7215.90.5000, 7221.00.0017, 
7221.00.0018, 7221.00.0030, 7221.00.0045, 7222.11.0001, 7222.11.0057, 
7222.11.0059, 7222.30.0001, 7227.20.0080, 7227.90.6085, 7228.20.1000, 
and 7228.60.6000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the 
merchandise subject to the order is dispositive.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For a full description of the scope of the order, see the 
``Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Mexico; 
2015-2016,'' from James Maeder, Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Gary Taverman, 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, dated 
concurrently with this notice (Final Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Duty Absorption

    As noted in the Preliminary Results, Commerce applied facts 
available and an adverse inference pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) and found that duty absorption 
exists on all U.S. sales of the subject merchandise exported by 
Deacero. Commerce's position on this issue remains unchanged in these 
final results of administrative review.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    As noted in the Preliminary Results, we received no-shipment claims 
from Grupo Simec \7\ and ArcelorMittal,\8\ companies named in the 
Initiation Notice, and we confirmed the claims with U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP). Following publication of the Preliminary 
Results, we received no comments from interested parties regarding 
these companies. As a result, and because the record contains no 
evidence to the contrary, we continue to find that Grupo Simec and 
ArcelorMittal made no shipments during the POR. Accordingly, consistent 
with Commerce's practice, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise 
produced by these two companies, but exported by other parties, at the 
rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others 
rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Grupo Simec and Orge S.A. de C.V. (collectively, Grupo 
Simec).
    \8\ ArcelorMittal Lazaro Cardenas, SA. de CV. (which became 
ArcelorMittal Mexico, S.A, de CV. on March 31, 2014), ArcelorMittal 
Celaya, SA. de CV., and ArcelorMittal Cordoba, SA. de CV. 
(collectively, ArcelorMittal).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made no 
changes to Deacero's final rate calculations. For a discussion of these 
issues, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, we calculated a dumping margin of zero 
percent for Deacero. We are applying to the non-selected companies the 
rate calculated for Deacero, the sole mandatory respondent in these 
final results for the period November 1, 2015, through October 31, 
2016:

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed to parties in this 
proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice, 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Duty Assessment

    Commerce shall determine and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\9\ For 
Deacero, because its weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce has not calculated 
importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to 
antidumping duties any entries for which the importer-specific 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis. Because we calculated a zero 
margin for Deacero in the final results of this review, we intend to 
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate 
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation 
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in 
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 
(February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 41 days 
after publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 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 respondents 
noted above will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or 
exporters not covered in this administrative review but covered in a 
prior 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 investigation, but the 
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the 
most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of 
the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers or exporters will continue to be 20.58 percent, the all-
others rate established in the antidumping investigation.\11\ These 
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Affirmative 
Determination of Critical Circumstances, 79 FR 54967 (September 15, 
2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    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 the POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (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/destruction 
of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: June 7, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
