Rate for Non-Selected Respondents The Act and Commerces regulations do not address the rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual 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 weightedaverage 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 DOSCO and HiSteel that are zero percent and we have assigned this rate to the non-selected company in this review i.e., Kukje Steel Co. Ltd, 8 For a full description of the scope of the order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
