SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background The notice announcing the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails from the PRC was published in the Federal Register on August 1, 2008. See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Steel Nails From the People’s Republic of China, 73 FR 44961 (August 1, 2008) (‘‘Antidumping Duty Order’’). On August 27, 2010, pursuant to section PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(c), the Department received a NSR request from Shanghai Colour Nail Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Colour’’). Shanghai Colour’s request was properly made during August 2010, which is the annual anniversary of the Antidumping Duty Order. Shanghai Colour certified that it is the exporter and Wuxi Colour Nail Co., Ltd. (‘‘Wuxi Colour’’) is the manufacturer of the subject merchandise upon which the request was based. Shanghai Colour also submitted a public version, which adequately summarized proprietary information and provided explanations as to why certain proprietary information is not capable of summarization. Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii), Shanghai Colour certified that it did not export steel nails to the United States during the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’); and Shanghai Colour provided a certification from Wuxi Colour that it did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the POI. In addition, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Shanghai Colour certified that, since the initiation of the investigation, it has never been affiliated with any Chinese exporter or producer who exported steel nails to the United States during the POI, including those not individually examined during the investigation. As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Shanghai Colour also certified that its export activities were not controlled by the central government of the PRC. In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Shanghai Colour submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) the date on which Shanghai Colour first shipped steel nails for export to the United States and the date on which the steel nails were first entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. The Department conducted U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) database queries in an attempt to confirm that Shanghai Colour’s shipments of subject merchandise had entered the United States for consumption and that liquidation of such entries had been properly suspended for antidumping duties. The Department also examined whether the CBP data confirmed that such entries were made during the NSR POR. The information we examined was E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM 04OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 191 / Monday, October 4, 2010 / Notices consistent with that provided by Shanghai Colour. jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Period of Review In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the POR for a new shipper review initiated in the month immediately following the anniversary month will be the twelve-month period immediately preceding the anniversary month. Therefore, under this order, the POR is August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. The sales and entries into the United States of subject merchandise exported by Shanghai Colour and produced by Wuxi Colour occurred during this twelve-month POR. Therefore, the POR for this new shipper is August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. Initiation of New Shipper Reviews Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214, the Department finds that Shanghai Colour meets the threshold requirements for initiation of a NSR for the shipment of steel nails from the PRC produced by Wuxi Colour and exported by Shanghai Colour. See ‘‘Memorandum to the File From Emeka Chukwudebe, Case Analyst, New Shipper Initiation Checklist: Certain Steel Nails from the People’s Republic of China (A–570– 909),’’ dated concurrently with this notice.

See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. It is the Department’s usual practice, in cases involving non–market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country–wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government control over the company’s export activities. Accordingly, we will issue a questionnaire to Shanghai Colour which will include a section requesting information with regard to Shanghai Colour’s export activities for separate rates purposes. The review will proceed if the response provides sufficient indication that Shanghai Colour is not subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its export of subject merchandise. We will instruct CBP to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise from Shanghai Colour in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:23 Oct 01, 2010 Jkt 223001 and 19 CFR 351.214(e).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The notice announcing the antidumping duty order on certain steel 
nails from the PRC was published in the Federal Register on August 1, 
2008. See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Steel Nails From 
the People's Republic of China, 73 FR 44961 (August 1, 2008) 
(``Antidumping Duty Order''). On August 27, 2010, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), and 19 
CFR 351.214(c), the Department received a NSR request from Shanghai 
Colour Nail Co., Ltd. (``Shanghai Colour''). Shanghai Colour's request 
was properly made during August 2010, which is the annual anniversary 
of the Antidumping Duty Order. Shanghai Colour certified that it is the 
exporter and Wuxi Colour Nail Co., Ltd. (``Wuxi Colour'') is the 
manufacturer of the subject merchandise upon which the request was 
based. Shanghai Colour also submitted a public version, which 
adequately summarized proprietary information and provided explanations 
as to why certain proprietary information is not capable of 
summarization.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(ii), Shanghai Colour certified that it did not export 
steel nails to the United States during the period of investigation 
(``POI''); and Shanghai Colour provided a certification from Wuxi 
Colour that it did not export subject merchandise to the United States 
during the POI. In addition, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Shanghai Colour certified 
that, since the initiation of the investigation, it has never been 
affiliated with any Chinese exporter or producer who exported steel 
nails to the United States during the POI, including those not 
individually examined during the investigation. As required by 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Shanghai Colour also certified that its export 
activities were not controlled by the central government of the PRC.
    In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Shanghai Colour submitted documentation 
establishing the following: (1) the date on which Shanghai Colour first 
shipped steel nails for export to the United States and the date on 
which the steel nails were first entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date 
of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States.
    The Department conducted U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') database queries in an attempt to confirm that Shanghai 
Colour's shipments of subject merchandise had entered the United States 
for consumption and that liquidation of such entries had been properly 
suspended for antidumping duties. The Department also examined whether 
the CBP data confirmed that such entries were made during the NSR POR. 
The information we examined was

consistent with that provided by Shanghai Colour.

Period of Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the POR for a new 
shipper review initiated in the month immediately following the 
anniversary month will be the twelve-month period immediately preceding 
the anniversary month. Therefore, under this order, the POR is August 
1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. The sales and entries into the United 
States of subject merchandise exported by Shanghai Colour and produced 
by Wuxi Colour occurred during this twelve-month POR. Therefore, the 
POR for this new shipper is August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010.

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214, the 
Department finds that Shanghai Colour meets the threshold requirements 
for initiation of a NSR for the shipment of steel nails from the PRC 
produced by Wuxi Colour and exported by Shanghai Colour. See 
``Memorandum to the File From Emeka Chukwudebe, Case Analyst, New 
Shipper Initiation Checklist: Certain Steel Nails from the People's 
Republic of China (A-570-909),'' dated concurrently with this notice.
    The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this NSR 
no later than 180 days from the date of initiation, and the final 
results no later than 90 days from the issuance of the preliminary 
determination. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
    It is the Department's usual practice, in cases involving non-
market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish 
eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country-wide 
rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government 
control over the company's export activities. Accordingly, we will 
issue a questionnaire to Shanghai Colour which will include a section 
requesting information with regard to Shanghai Colour's export 
activities for separate rates purposes. The review will proceed if the 
response provides sufficient indication that Shanghai Colour is not 
subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect 
to its export of subject merchandise.
    We will instruct CBP to allow, at the option of the importer, the 
posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or security in 
lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise from 
Shanghai Colour in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Shanghai Colour certified that its 
subject merchandise was produced by Wuxi Colour, we will apply the 
bonding privilege to Shanghai Colour only for subject merchandise 
produced by Wuxi Colour.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative 
protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306. 
This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
