that ARLANXEO Brasil failed to cooperate to the best of its ability, and thus, Commerce is applying AFA in determining a margin for ARLANXEO
Brasil, in accordance with section 776b of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions regarding the application of AFA, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of the Administrative Review We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020:

Exporter/producer
Weightedaverage margin percent
ARLANXEO Brasil S.A

67.99

Assessment Rate Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.4 If the preliminary results are unchanged for the final results, we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate equal to ARLANXEO Brasils weighted-average dumping margin in the final results of this review to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR from ARLANXEO Brasil.
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The following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by 4 See

section 751a2C of the Act: 1 The cash deposit rate for ARLANXEO Brasil will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106c1, in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; 2 for previously investigated or reviewed companies not subject to this review, the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company participated; 3 if the exporter is not a firm covered in this or a previously completed review, or in the original less-than-fair-value LTFV
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent segment for the producer of the merchandise;
and 4 the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 19.61 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.5
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses the calculations performed in connection with preliminary results to interested parties within five days after the date of public announcement or publication of this notice.6 Because Commerce preliminarily applied a rate based entirely on AFA in accordance with section 776 of the Act, to the only mandatory respondent in this review, there are no calculations to disclose.
Public Comment Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309c, interested parties may submit case briefs to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance not later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice, unless the Secretary alters the time limit. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than seven days after the date for filing case briefs.7 Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this administrative 5 See Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from Brazil: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 82 FR
