Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 
this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 
A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as Appendix II.

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), in September and October 2019, we conducted verifications of 
the sales and cost information submitted by BSM and Corey for use in 
our final determination. We used standard verification procedures, 
including an examination of relevant accounting and production records, 
and original source documents provided by BSM and Corey.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For a discussion of our verification findings, see 
Memoranda, ``Verification of the Sales Questionnaire Responses of 
Building Systems de Mexico S.A. de C.V. in the Antidumping Duty 
Investigation of Certain Fabricated Structural Steel from Mexico,'' 
dated October 31, 2019; ``Verification of NCI Group, Inc. and 
Robertson-Ceco II Corporation in the Antidumping Duty Investigation 
of Certain Fabricated Structural Steel from Mexico,'' dated October 
31, 2019; ``Verification of the Cost Responses of Building Systems 
de Mexico S.A. de C.V. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of

2019; ``Verification of the Sales Response of Corey S.A. de C.V. and 
Industrias Recal S.A. de C.V.'' dated November 5, 2019; and 
``Verification of the Cost Response of Corey S.A. de C.V. in the 
Antidumping Duty Investigation of Fabricated Structural Steel from 
Mexico,'' dated October 31, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at 
verification, we made certain changes to the dumping margin 
calculations. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum and Final Calculation Memoranda.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Memoranda, ``Analysis Memorandum for the Final 
Determination in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain 
Fabricated Structural Steel From Mexico: Building Systems de Mexico 
S.A. de C.V.''; ``Constructed Value Calculation Adjustments for the 
Final Determination--Building Systems de Mexico S.A. de C.V.''; 
``Analysis Memorandum for the Final Determination in the Antidumping 
Duty Investigation of Certain Fabricated Structural Steel from 
Mexico: Corey S.A. de C.V.''; and ``Constructed Value Calculation 
Adjustments for the Final Determination--Corey S.A. de C.V.,'' all 
dated concurrently with this notice (collectively, Final Calculation 
Memoranda).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, we revised the margin calculation for BSM to reflect 
the application of partial facts available with an adverse inference 
pursuant to section 776 of the Act. For a discussion of this change, 
see Comment 16 of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

All-Others Rate

    Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated all-
others rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters 
and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de 
minimis margins, and margins determined entirely under section 776 of 
the Act. BSM is the only respondent for which Commerce calculated an 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero, de minimis, 
or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Therefore, for purposes 
of determining the all-others rate, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of 
the Act, we are using the estimated weighted-average dumping margin 
calculated for BSM, as referenced in the ``Final Determination'' 
section below.

Use of Adverse Facts Available

    In the Preliminary Determination, we based the dumping margins for 
certain non-responsive companies on adverse facts available (AFA).\9\ 
The AFA rate is

[[Page 5392]]

the only, and therefore, the highest, dumping margin in the petition 
(i.e., 30.58 percent). We received no comments on our determination to 
use AFA with respect to these companies. Accordingly, we are continuing 
to assign a dumping margin based on AFA to the non-responsive companies 
in this investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Preliminary Determination and accompanying PDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination

    The final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as 
follows:

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with this final determination within five days of the date 
of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) and C of the Act, Commerce 
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend 
liquidation of all appropriate entries of fabricated structural steel 
from Mexico, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which are 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register other than 
entries of fabricated structural steel produced and exported by Corey, 
because its rate is zero. These suspension-of-liquidation instructions 
will remain in effect until further notice.
    In addition, pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.210(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 
for such entries of merchandise equal to the estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies 
listed in the table above will be equal to the company-specific 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin identified for that company 
in the table; (2) if the exporter is not a company listed in the table 
above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to 
the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin listed 
for that producer of the subject merchandise in the above table; and 
(3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be 
equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. 
These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect 
until further notice.
    To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of export 
subsidies determined in a companion CVD proceeding when CVD provisional 
measures are in effect. Accordingly, where Commerce makes an 
affirmative determination for export subsidies, Commerce offsets the 
calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate 
rate(s). In this case, we have found export subsidies for certain 
respondents. However, suspension of liquidation for provisional 
measures in the companion CVD case has been discontinued; therefore, we 
are not instructing CBP to collect cash deposits based upon the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin adjusted for export subsidies 
at this time.

International Trade Commission Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify 
the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its final affirmative 
determination of sales at LTFV. Because Commerce's final determination 
is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the 
ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic 
industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with 
material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of 
sales) of subject merchandise for importation no later than 45 days 
after this final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury 
does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash 
deposits posted will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such 
injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order 
directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, 
antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective 
date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the 
``Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation'' section of this notice.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    In the event that the ITC issues a final negative injury 
determination, this notice will serve as a final reminder to the 
parties subject to APO of their responsibility concerning the 
disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written notification of return 
or 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c).

    Dated: January 23, 2020.
