Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772a of the Act. Constructed export prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772b of the Act. Normal value NV is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. Commerce preliminarily finds that a cost-based particular market situation PMS

quantified the impact of the particular market situation on the material cost of HRC, and derived a corresponding adjustment factor that, when applied to the cost of HRC, accounts for the distortions induced by the observed particular market situation.10 For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rates for Non-Examined Companies The statute and Commerces regulations do not address the rate to be applied to companies not selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777Ac2 of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735c5 of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735c5A of the Act, the all-others rate is normally an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
In this review, we have preliminarily calculated weighted-average dumping margins for SeAH that is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available. Accordingly, Commerce preliminarily has assigned to the companies not individually examined see Appendix II for a full list of these companies a margin of 1.07
percent, which is the weighted average dumping margin of SeAH for these preliminary results of review.11
Preliminary Results of Review Commerce preliminarily determines that, for the period September 1, 2018
through August 31, 2019, the following weighted-average dumping margins exist:
