the methodology underlying our conclusions regarding the application of AFA , see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum . Rate for Non-Selected Companies
The statute and Commerce ’ s regulations do not identify the dumping margin to apply to respondents not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A ( c )( 2 ) of the Act . Generally , Commerce looks to section 735 ( c )( 5 ) of the Act , which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation , for guidance when determining the dumping margin for respondents that are not individually examined in an administrative review . Section 735 ( c )( 5 )( A ) of the Act states that the all-others rate should be calculated by averaging the weighted-average dumping margins for individually-examined respondents , excluding dumping margins that are zero , de minimis , or based entirely on facts available . Where the dumping margins for individually examined respondents are all zero , de minimis , or based entirely on facts available , section 735 ( c )( 5 )( B ) of the Act provides that Commerce may use “ any reasonable method to establish the estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated , including averaging the estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated .” We have preliminarily calculated a zero percent dumping margin for PESL , and we have preliminarily assigned Antique Group a dumping margin of 323.12 percent based entirely on facts available with an adverse inference . Therefore , in accordance with section 735 ( c )( 5 )( B ) of the Act , we are preliminarily applying to the 51 companies not selected for individual examination a rate of 161.56 , which is an average of the zero percent rate calculated for PESL and the 323.12 percent AFA rate assigned to Antique Group . These 51 exporters are listed in Appendix II . For additional discussion , see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum .
