Foreign-Trade Zone 177—Evansville,
IN; Application for Manufacturing
Authority, Best Chair, Inc. d/b/a Best
Home Furnishings, (Upholstered
Furniture), Ferdinand, Cannelton, and
Paoli, IN
A request has been submitted to the
Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board)
by the Ports of Indiana, grantee of FTZ
177, requesting manufacturing authority
on behalf of Best Chair, Inc. d/b/a Best
Home Furnishings (Best Home), to
manufacture upholstered furniture and
related parts under FTZ procedures
within FTZ 177. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally filed on March 17,
2011.
The Best Home facilities (815
employees) will be located within the
FTZ 177 service area at three planned
sites: Site 5—at 1 Best Drive in
Ferdinand (Dubois County), Indiana;
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Site 6—at 4502 East State Road 66,

Site 7—at 1700 West Willow Creek
Road, Paoli (Orange County), Indiana
(Orange County to be included within
expanded ASF service area, as proposed
— Doc. 3–2011, 76 FR 1133, 1–7–2011).
The facilities are used to produce
upholstered furniture (up to 1.5 million
sofas, sectionals, loveseats, chairs, and
recliners annually) and cut-and-sewn
upholstery covers for the U.S. market
and export. The application proposes
that Best Home utilize foreign-origin
‘‘micro-denier suede’’ fabric to be cut
and sewn into furniture upholstery
covers under FTZ procedures. The
finished upholstery covers (HTSUS
9401.90; duty free) would then be
assembled into finished sofas,
sectionals, loveseats, chairs, and
recliners manufactured by Best Home at
its Indiana facilities.
The proposed scope of authority
under FTZ procedures would only
involve duty savings on foreign-origin,
micro-denier suede fabrics (classified
under HTSUS Headings 5407, 5512,
5515, 5516, 5903, 5906, 6001, 6005,
6006; duty rate range: 2.7–17.2%)
finished with a caustic soda wash
process, which the applicant indicates
are not produced by U.S. mills. The
application indicates that Best Home
does not seek FTZ benefits on any of the
other foreign fabrics the company uses
in production at the facilities (i.e., full
duties would be paid on all such
fabrics). All other material inputs used
in the proposed manufacturing activity
would be domestic status.
FTZ procedures would exempt Best
Home from customs duty payments on
the foreign micro-denier suede fabric
used in export production. On microdenier suede fabric used in production
for the U.S. market, the company could
elect the finished upholstery cover (i.e.,
furniture part) duty rate (free) after the
fabric has been cut, sewn, and formed
into upholstery covers, at which time
they are entered for consumption from
the zone. Best Home would also have
the option to elect the finished furniture
duty rate (free) for the subject fabric
when the finished furniture is entered
for domestic consumption. The
application indicates that the savings
from FTZ procedures would help
improve the facilities’ international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Pierre V. Duy of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to evaluate
and analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the Board.

Case History
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
On September 15, 2010, the
Department published the Preliminary
Results of this administrative review.
On October 7, 2010, we sent a
supplemental questionnaire to separaterate respondent Yitian Nanjing
Hardware Co., Ltd. (‘‘Yitian Nanjing’’).
On October 12, 2010, one of the
individually-reviewed respondents who
had received a calculated rate at the
Preliminary Results, Shandong
Minmetal Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shandong
Minmetal’’), informed the Department
that it would not participate in
verification and withdrew from the
administrative review. On October 20,
2010, we confirmed with counsel for
Yitian Nanjing that a response to the
Department’s supplemental
questionnaire was not filed by the
stipulated deadline. On October 21,
2010, following the decision in
Dorbest,2 the Department placed wage
rate data on the record for comment.3
The Department conducted verification
of: (1) Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Tianjin Jinchi’’) on November 12,
2010; (2) Stanley’s 4 PRC offices and
factory from November 15, 2010,
through November 17, 2010; (3) a wiredrawing subcontractor for Stanley from
November 18, 2010, through November
19, 2010; and (4) Stanley’s U.S. office
from December 14, 2010, through
December 16, 2010. We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. Between November
3, 2010, and January 25, 2011, we
received case and rebuttal briefs from

that are cut. Certain steel nails may be
of one piece construction or constructed
of two or more pieces. Certain steel nails
may be produced from any type of steel,
and have a variety of finishes, heads,
shanks, point types, shaft lengths and
shaft diameters. Finishes include, but
are not limited to, coating in vinyl, zinc
(galvanized, whether by electroplating
or hot-dipping one or more times),
phosphate cement, and paint. Head
styles include, but are not limited to,
flat, projection, cupped, oval, brad,
headless, double, countersunk, and
sinker. Shank styles include, but are not
limited to, smooth, barbed, screw
threaded, ring shank and fluted shank
styles. Screw-threaded nails subject to
this proceeding are driven using direct
force and not by turning the fastener
using a tool that engages with the head.
Point styles include, but are not limited
to, diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and
no point. Finished nails may be sold in
bulk, or they may be collated into strips
or coils using materials such as plastic,
paper, or wire. Certain steel nails
subject to this proceeding are currently
classified under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 7317.00.55,
7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75.
Excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are roofing nails of all
lengths and diameter, whether collated
or in bulk, and whether or not
galvanized. Steel roofing nails are
specifically enumerated and identified
in ASTM Standard F 1667 (2005
revision) as Type I, Style 20 nails. Also
excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are corrugated nails. A
corrugated nail is made of a small strip
of corrugated steel with sharp points on
one side. Also excluded from the scope
of this proceeding are fasteners suitable
for use in powder-actuated hand tools,
not threaded and threaded, which are
currently classified under HTSUS
7317.00.20 and 7317.00.30. Also
excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are thumb tacks, which are
currently classified under HTSUS
7317.00.10.00. Also excluded from the
scope of this proceeding are certain
brads and finish nails that are equal to
or less than 0.0720 inches in shank
diameter, round or rectangular in cross
section, between 0.375 inches and
2.5 inches in length, and that are
collated with adhesive or polyester film
tape backed with a heat seal adhesive.
Also excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are fasteners having a case
hardness greater than or equal to
50 HRC, a carbon content greater than
or equal to 0.5 percent, a round head,
a secondary reduced-diameter raised

head section, a centered shank, and a
smooth symmetrical point, suitable for
use in gas-actuated hand tools.
While the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
Non-Market Economy Treatment
The Department considers the PRC to
be a non-market economy (‘‘NME’’)
country.11 In accordance with section
771(18)(C)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘Act’’), any determination that
a foreign country is an NME country
shall remain in effect until revoked by
the administering authority. No party
has challenged the designation of the
PRC as an NME country in this review.
Therefore, the Department continues to
treat the PRC as an NME country for
purposes of these final results.
Surrogate Country
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department stated that it selected India
as the appropriate surrogate country to
use in this administrative review for the
following reasons: (1) It is a significant
producer of comparable merchandise;
(2) it is at a similar level of economic
development pursuant to section
773(c)(4) of the Act; and (3) the
Department has reliable data from India
that it can use to value the factors of
production. As no party submitted
additional comments challenging our
selection of the primary surrogate
country, we are continuing to use India
as the surrogate country for the final
results of this administrative review.
Wage Rate Methodology
Pursuant to Dorbest, we have
calculated a revised hourly wage rate to
use in valuing Stanley’s reported labor.
The revised wage rate is calculated by
averaging earnings and/or wages in
countries that are economically
comparable to the PRC and that are
significant producers of comparable
merchandise, pursuant to section 773 of
the Act. See I&D Memo at Comment 2.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving NME
countries, the Department holds a
rebuttable presumption that all
companies within the country are
subject to government control and, thus,
should be assessed a single antidumping
duty rate. It is the Department’s policy
11 See, e.g., Preliminary Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination: Coated Free Sheet Paper From the
People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 30758, 30760
(June 4, 2007), unchanged in Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Coated Free Sheet
Paper From the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR

to assign all exporters of subject
merchandise in an NME country this
single rate unless an exporter can
demonstrate that it is sufficiently
independent so as to be entitled to a
separate rate.12
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that in addition to the
mandatory respondents, Stanley and
Shandong Minmetal, the Separate-Rate
Applicants also met the criteria for
separate rate status.13 Since the
publication of the Preliminary Results,
Shandong Minmetal withdrew from the
review. Therefore, the Department has,
as adverse facts available (‘‘AFA’’),
treated Shandong Minmetal as part of
the PRC-wide entity.14 Moreover, we
note that the information that
Shangdong Minmetal provided to the
Department to demonstrate the absence
of de facto and de jure control could not
be verified due to its failure to
cooperate. Consequently we have not
granted Shandong Minmetal a separate
rate.15
The separate rate is determined based
on the estimated weighted-average
antidumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding zero and de
minimis margins or margins based
entirely on AFA.16 In this
administrative review, one mandatory
respondent, Stanley, has an estimated
weighted-average antidumping margin
which is above de minimis and which
is not based on total AFA. Therefore,
because there is only one relevant
weighted-average antidumping margin
for these final results, we have assigned

Stanley’s margin, which is

companies.17
PRC–Wide Entity
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department determined that certain PRC
exporters subject to this review failed to
recertify their separate rates using the
separate rate certification provided at
the Department’s Web site at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html to
demonstrate their continued eligibility
for separate-rate status. Thus, the
Department treated these PRC exporters
as part of the PRC-wide entity. The
Department also found that the PRCwide entity did not respond to our
requests for information.18 As the PRC-
wide entity did not provide the
Department with requested information,
pursuant to section 776(a)(2)(A) of the
Act, we continue to treat such entities
as part of the PRC-wide entity.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of
review, excluding any reported sales
that entered during the gap period.19

after the expiration of the 180-day provisional
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we
will calculate importer-specific (or
customer-specific) ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of the dumping
margins calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR for
which the importer-specific assessment
rate is zero or de minimis. For the
companies receiving a separate rate that
were not selected for individual review,
we will calculate an assessment rate
based on the simple average of the cash
deposit rates calculated for the
companies selected for individual
review pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B)
of the Act.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
exporters listed above, the cash deposit
rate will be established in the final
results of this review (except, if the rate
is zero or de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5
percent, no cash deposit will be
required for that company); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 percent;
and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties
measures period during the original investigation,
to the day prior to the U.S. International Trade
Commission’s final determination. In the instant
case, the gap period is July 22, 2008, to July 24,
2008.

prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
administrative review and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and

AGENCY:
The Department has determined that
the review is extraordinarily
complicated as the Department must
issue, and analyze the responses to,
additional supplemental questionnaires
concerning Quoc Viet’s sales practices
and its shrimp factors of production
usage ratio. Moreover, the Department
needs additional time to analyze the
bona fide nature of Quoc Viet’s sale,
which includes gathering data from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection. Based
on the timing of the case and the
additional information that must be
gathered, the preliminary results of this
new shipper review cannot be
completed within 180 days.
Therefore, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the preliminary results of this new
shipper review by 26 days from the
original March 19, 2011, deadline. The
preliminary results will now be due no
later than April 14, 2011. The final
results continue to be due 90 days after
the issuance of the preliminary results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.

Case History
On September 15, 2010, the Department published the Preliminary
Results of this administrative review. On October 7, 2010, we sent a
supplemental questionnaire to separate-rate respondent Yitian Nanjing
Hardware Co., Ltd. (``Yitian Nanjing''). On October 12, 2010, one of
the individually-reviewed respondents who had received a calculated
rate at the Preliminary Results, Shandong Minmetal Co., Ltd.
(``Shandong Minmetal''), informed the Department that it would not
participate in verification and withdrew from the administrative
review. On October 20, 2010, we confirmed with counsel for Yitian
Nanjing that a response to the Department's supplemental questionnaire
was not filed by the stipulated deadline. On October 21, 2010,
following the decision in Dorbest,\2\ the Department placed wage rate
data on the record for comment.\3\ The Department conducted
verification of: (1) Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd. (``Tianjin
Jinchi'') on November 12, 2010; (2) Stanley's \4\ PRC offices and
factory from November 15, 2010, through November 17, 2010; (3) a wire-
drawing subcontractor for Stanley from November 18, 2010, through
November 19, 2010; and (4) Stanley's U.S. office from December 14,
2010, through December 16, 2010. We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. Between November 3, 2010, and
January 25, 2011, we received case and rebuttal briefs from
Petitioner,\5\ one individually-reviewed respondent, Stanley, and other
interested parties \6\ in this administrative review.

methodology. See the ``Wage Rate Methodology'' section below. For all
changes to the calculations, see the I&D Memo and company-specific
analysis memoranda. For changes to the surrogate values, see
``Memorandum to the File, through Alex Villanueva, Program Manager, AC/
CVD Operations, Office 9, from Emeka Chukwudebe, case analyst, AD/CVD

Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China: Surrogate
Values for the Final Results,'' dated concurrently with this notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order includes certain steel nails
having a shaft length up to 12 inches. Certain steel nails include, but
are not limited to, nails made of round wire and nails
[[Page 16381]]
that are cut. Certain steel nails may be of one piece construction or
constructed of two or more pieces. Certain steel nails may be produced
from any type of steel, and have a variety of finishes, heads, shanks,
point types, shaft lengths and shaft diameters. Finishes include, but
are not limited to, coating in vinyl, zinc (galvanized, whether by
electroplating or hot-dipping one or more times), phosphate cement, and
paint. Head styles include, but are not limited to, flat, projection,
cupped, oval, brad, headless, double, countersunk, and sinker. Shank
styles include, but are not limited to, smooth, barbed, screw threaded,
ring shank and fluted shank styles. Screw-threaded nails subject to
this proceeding are driven using direct force and not by turning the
fastener using a tool that engages with the head. Point styles include,
but are not limited to, diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and no point.
Finished nails may be sold in bulk, or they may be collated into strips
or coils using materials such as plastic, paper, or wire. Certain steel
nails subject to this proceeding are currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') subheadings
7317.00.55, 7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75.
Excluded from the scope of this proceeding are roofing nails of all
lengths and diameter, whether collated or in bulk, and whether or not
galvanized. Steel roofing nails are specifically enumerated and
identified in ASTM Standard F 1667 (2005 revision) as Type I, Style 20
nails. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are corrugated
nails. A corrugated nail is made of a small strip of corrugated steel
with sharp points on one side. Also excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are fasteners suitable for use in powder-actuated hand
tools, not threaded and threaded, which are currently classified under
HTSUS 7317.00.20 and 7317.00.30. Also excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are thumb tacks, which are currently classified under HTSUS
7317.00.10.00. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are
certain brads and finish nails that are equal to or less than 0.0720
inches in shank diameter, round or rectangular in cross section,
between 0.375 inches and 2.5 inches in length, and that are collated
with adhesive or polyester film tape backed with a heat seal adhesive.
Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are fasteners having a
case hardness greater than or equal to 50 HRC, a carbon content greater
than or equal to 0.5 percent, a round head, a secondary reduced-
diameter raised head section, a centered shank, and a smooth
symmetrical point, suitable for use in gas-actuated hand tools.
While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Non-Market Economy Treatment
The Department considers the PRC to be a non-market economy
(``NME'') country.\11\ In accordance with section 771(18)(C)(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), any determination that a
foreign country is an NME country shall remain in effect until revoked
by the administering authority. No party has challenged the designation
of the PRC as an NME country in this review. Therefore, the Department
continues to treat the PRC as an NME country for purposes of these
final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See, e.g., Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: Coated Free
Sheet Paper From the People's Republic of China, 72 FR 30758, 30760
(June 4, 2007), unchanged in Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Coated Free Sheet Paper From the People's Republic
of China, 72 FR 60632 (October 25, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surrogate Country
In the Preliminary Results, the Department stated that it selected
India as the appropriate surrogate country to use in this
administrative review for the following reasons: (1) It is a
significant producer of comparable merchandise; (2) it is at a similar
level of economic development pursuant to section 773(c)(4) of the Act;
and (3) the Department has reliable data from India that it can use to
value the factors of production. As no party submitted additional
comments challenging our selection of the primary surrogate country, we
are continuing to use India as the surrogate country for the final
results of this administrative review.
Wage Rate Methodology
Pursuant to Dorbest, we have calculated a revised hourly wage rate
to use in valuing Stanley's reported labor. The revised wage rate is
calculated by averaging earnings and/or wages in countries that are
economically comparable to the PRC and that are significant producers
of comparable merchandise, pursuant to section 773 of the Act. See I&D
Memo at Comment 2.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving NME countries, the Department holds a
rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are
subject to government control and, thus, should be assessed a single
antidumping duty rate. It is the Department's policy to assign all
exporters of subject merchandise in an NME country this single rate
unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent
so as to be entitled to a separate rate.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Sparklers From the People's Republic of China, 56 FR
20588 (May 6, 1991), as further developed in Notice of Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide From
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that in addition to the
mandatory respondents, Stanley and Shandong Minmetal, the Separate-Rate
Applicants also met the criteria for separate rate status.\13\ Since
the publication of the Preliminary Results, Shandong Minmetal withdrew
from the review. Therefore, the Department has, as adverse facts
available (``AFA''), treated Shandong Minmetal as part of the PRC-wide
entity.\14\ Moreover, we note that the information that Shangdong
Minmetal provided to the Department to demonstrate the absence of de
facto and de jure control could not be verified due to its failure to
cooperate. Consequently we have not granted Shandong Minmetal a
separate rate.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Those companies are: (1) Aironware (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.;
(2) Chiieh Yung Metal Ind. Corp.; (3) China Staple Enterprise
(Tianjin) Co., Ltd.; (4) Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd.;
(5) Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd.; (6) Hengshui Mingyao
Hardware & Mesh Products Co., Ltd.; (7) Huanghua Jinhai Hardware

Applicants'').
\14\ See section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
\15\ See I&D Memo at Comment 13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The separate rate is determined based on the estimated weighted-
average antidumping margins established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding zero and de minimis margins or
margins based entirely on AFA.\16\ In this administrative review, one
mandatory respondent, Stanley, has an estimated weighted-average
antidumping margin which is above de minimis and which is not based on
total AFA. Therefore, because there is only one relevant weighted-
average antidumping margin for these final results, we have assigned
[[Page 16382]]
Stanley's margin, which is 13.90 percent, to the separate-rate
companies.\17\

Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value, 73 FR 47587, 47591 (August 14, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC-Wide Entity
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that certain
PRC exporters subject to this review failed to recertify their separate
rates using the separate rate certification provided at the
Department's Web site at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html to
demonstrate their continued eligibility for separate-rate status. Thus,
the Department treated these PRC exporters as part of the PRC-wide
entity. The Department also found that the PRC-wide entity did not
respond to our requests for information.\18\ As the PRC-wide entity did
not provide the Department with requested information, pursuant to
section 776(a)(2)(A) of the Act, we continue to treat such entities as
part of the PRC-wide entity.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of review, excluding any reported
sales that entered during the gap period.\19\ Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate importer-specific (or customer-
specific) ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the
total amount of the dumping margins calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of those same sales. In accordance with 19
CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, all entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
For the companies receiving a separate rate that were not selected for
individual review, we will calculate an assessment rate based on the
simple average of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies
selected for individual review pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ The gap period represents the period of time after the
expiration of the 180-day provisional measures period during the
original investigation, to the day prior to the U.S. International
Trade Commission's final determination. In the instant case, the gap
period is July 22, 2008, to July 24, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be established in the final
results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
i.e., less than 0.5 percent, no cash deposit will be required for that
company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise
which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the PRC exporters that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: March 14, 2011.
