Determination of No Reviewable
Transactions
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department determined that two
companies had no shipments.14 These
companies either reported that they had
no shipments of subject merchandise to
the United States or the record evidence
showed that they had no shipments
during the POR. As we stated in the
Preliminary Results, our examination of
shipment data from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) confirmed
that there were no reviewable
transactions made by these companies
during the POR.15 Subsequent to the
Preliminary Results, the Department did
not receive any comments or
information which indicated that these
two companies made sales of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR. Therefore, consistent with the
Department’s refinement to its
assessment practice in nonmarket
economy (‘‘NME’’) cases, the
Department finds that it is appropriate
not to rescind the review in these
circumstances, but, rather, to complete
the review with respect to those two
companies and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of the review.16
Determination Not To Revoke Order in
Part
We continue to find that the RMB/IFI
Group has not satisfied the requirements
of 19 CFR 351.222(b).17 Thus, under
section 751 of the Act, we determine not
to revoke in part the order with respect
to the RMB/IFI Group.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we have made certain revisions
to the margin calculations for the RMB/
IFI Group.18
14 These companies are: 1) Certified Products
International, Inc. (‘‘CPI’’), and 2) Jiangxi Xinyue
Standard Part Co., Ltd. (‘‘Jiaxing Xinyue’’),
collectively ‘‘No Shipment Respondents.’’
15 See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 21102.
16 See Non-Market Economy Antidumping
Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76
FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (‘‘NME Antidumping
Proceedings’’).
17 See Issues and Decision Memorandum at
Comment 8. The Department recently published a
final rule amending this section of its regulations
concerning the revocation of antidumping and
countervailing duty orders in whole or in part, but
that final rule does not apply to this administrative
review. See Modification to Regulation Concerning
the Revocation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Order, 77 FR 29875 (May 21, 2012). Reference
to 19 CFR 351.222(b) thus refers to the Department’s
regulations in effect prior to June 20, 2012.

Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, we
determined that the RMB/IFI Group and
Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Zhejiang New Oriental’’) met the
criteria for separate rate status.19 We
have not received any information since
the issuance of the Preliminary Results
that provides a basis for reconsideration
of this determination. Therefore, the
Department continues to find that these
companies meet the criteria for separate
rate status.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Zhejiang New Oriental was not
selected for individual review but, as
explained above, meets the criteria for
separate rate status. As in the
Preliminary Results, we have assigned
Zhejiang New Oriental the rate
calculated for the mandatory respondent
(i.e., the RMB/IFI Group). The RMB IFI
Group’s rate is not zero, de minimis, or
based entirely on facts available.20 For
the final results, we continue to find
this approach to be consistent with
section 735(c)(5) of the Act and the
Department’s practice.21
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity
For the PRC-Wide Entity, the
Department in the Preliminary Results
assigned the rate of 206 percent, the
only rate ever determined for the PRCwide entity in this proceeding.22
Because this rate is the same as the PRCWide rate from previous segments in
this proceeding and nothing on the
record of the instant review calls into
question the reliability of the PRC-Wide
rate, we find it appropriate to continue
to apply the PRC-Wide rate of 206
percent.23
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department determined that those
companies which did not demonstrate
eligibility for a separate rate are
properly considered part of the PRCWide Entity.24 Since the Preliminary
Memorandum to the File, ‘‘Analysis for the Final
Results of the Third Administrative Review of
Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s
Republic of China: RMB/IFI Group,’’ (October 7,

Results, none of these companies
submitted comments regarding these
findings. Therefore, we continue to treat
these companies as part of the PRCWide Entity.25
Additionally, in the Preliminary
Results, for five companies,26 the
Department found that, while the
request for review had been withdrawn,
none of these five companies had a
separate rate. Accordingly, these five
companies remained part of the PRCwide entity, which remained under
review for the Preliminary Results.27
Thus, the Department did not rescind
the review for each of these five
companies for the Preliminary Results.
Since the Preliminary Results, no party
has presented any information to the
contrary and thus, these five companies
remain part of the PRC-wide entity,
which remains under review for the
final results.

Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this
review. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the publication date of these final
results of this review. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are
calculating importer- (or customer-)
specific assessment rates for the
merchandise subject to this review. For
any individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), the Department will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
25 See
Appendix II.
July 26, 2012, Vulcan Threaded Products
Inc. (‘‘Petitioner’’) timely withdrew its request for
review for five companies: (1) Autocraft Industry
Ltd.; (2) Autocraft Industry (Shanghai) Ltd.; (3)
Fuda Xiongzhen Machinery Co., Ltd.; (4) Shanghai
Furen International Trading; and (5) Shanghai
Printing and Packaging Machinery Corp. No other
party requested a review on these five companies.

value of sales.28 We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate is above de minimis.
Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener
Co., Ltd., the company receiving a
separate rate that was not selected for
individual review, we will assign an
assessment rate based on the rate we
calculated for the mandatory respondent
whose rate was not de minimis, as
discussed above. We intend to instruct
CBP to liquidate entries containing
subject merchandise exported by the
PRC-wide entity at the PRC-wide rate.
The Department recently announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in
NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement
in practice, for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the NME-wide
rate. In addition, if the Department
determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under that exporter’s case
number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will
be liquidated at the NME-wide rate. For
a full discussion of this practice, see
NME Antidumping Proceedings.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the RMB/
IFI Group and Zhejiang New Oriental
Fastener Co., Ltd., the cash deposit rate
will be that established in the final
results of this review; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,

the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and

Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101

the cash deposit rate will be that for the
PRC-wide entity; 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 exporter that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations
performed within five days of the date
of publication of this notice to parties in
this proceeding in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Notification to Importers Regarding the
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 Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to 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 or 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.

2012
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published its
Preliminary Results of the third administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod from the People's
Republic of China (``PRC'') on April 9, 2013.\1\ The period of review
(``POR'') is April 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012. We gave interested
parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Results. Based
upon our analysis of the comments received, we made changes to the
margin calculations for these final results. The final dumping margins
are listed below in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section of this
notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 9, 2013, the Department published the Preliminary Results
of this administrative review.\2\ The Department conducted a
verification of RMB Fasteners and IFI & Morgan Ltd. (collectively the
``RMB/IFI Group'') between April 22 and April 26, 2013.\3\ The
Department extended the deadline for submission of case briefs and
rebuttal briefs based on requests from interested parties.\4\ On May
17, 2013, and May 28, 2013, interested parties submitted surrogate
value (``SV'') comments and SV rebuttal comments.\5\
[[Page 66331]]
On May 21, 2013, May 28, 2013, and June 19, 2013, the Department issued
letters regarding a claim by the RMB/IFI Group to withhold certain
factual information from release under the administrative protective
order (``APO''). Petitioner \6\ submitted comments on that claim, and
the RMB/IFI Group resubmitted that factual information for release
under the APO.\7\ On June 24, 2013, and July 1, 2013, Petitioner and
the RMB/IFI Group submitted case briefs and rebuttal briefs.\8\

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order includes steel threaded rod.
The subject merchandise is currently classifiable under subheading
7318.15.5051, 7318.15.5056,\12\ 7318.15.5090, and 7318.15.2095 of the

HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise is dispositive.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ HTSUS 7318.15.5056 was not listed in the scope for the
Preliminary Results but should have been included in the scope. See

see Memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import

Duty Administrative Review (October 7, 2013) (``Issues and Decision
Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties are
addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby
adopted by this Notice. A list of the issues which parties raised is
attached to this notice as Appendix I. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file in the Central Records
Unit (``CRU''), Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building,
as well as electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA
ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the CRU. In addition, a complete version of
the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the
internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Determination of No Reviewable Transactions
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that two
companies had no shipments.\14\ These companies either reported that
they had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States or
the record evidence showed that they had no shipments during the POR.
As we stated in the Preliminary Results, our examination of shipment
data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') confirmed that
there were no reviewable transactions made by these companies during
the POR.\15\ Subsequent to the Preliminary Results, the Department did
not receive any comments or information which indicated that these two
companies made sales of subject merchandise to the United States during
the POR. Therefore, consistent with the Department's refinement to its
assessment practice in nonmarket economy (``NME'') cases, the
Department finds that it is appropriate not to rescind the review in
these circumstances, but, rather, to complete the review with respect
to those two companies and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of the review.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ These companies are: 1) Certified Products International,
Inc. (``CPI''), and 2) Jiangxi Xinyue Standard Part Co., Ltd.
(``Jiaxing Xinyue''), collectively ``No Shipment Respondents.''
\15\ See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 21102.
\16\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (``NME
Antidumping Proceedings'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determination Not To Revoke Order in Part
We continue to find that the RMB/IFI Group has not satisfied the
requirements of 19 CFR 351.222(b).\17\ Thus, under section 751 of the
Act, we determine not to revoke in part the order with respect to the
RMB/IFI Group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 8. The
Department recently published a final rule amending this section of
its regulations concerning the revocation of antidumping and
countervailing duty orders in whole or in part, but that final rule
does not apply to this administrative review. See Modification to
Regulation Concerning the Revocation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Order, 77 FR 29875 (May 21, 2012). Reference to
19 CFR 351.222(b) thus refers to the Department's regulations in
effect prior to June 20, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made
certain revisions to the margin calculations for the RMB/IFI Group.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum and the company-specific
analysis memoranda. See Memorandum to the File, ``Analysis for the
Final Results of the Third Administrative Review of Certain Steel
Threaded Rod from the People's Republic of China: RMB/IFI Group,''
(October 7, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 66332]]
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, we determined that the RMB/IFI Group
and Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener Co., Ltd. (``Zhejiang New
Oriental'') met the criteria for separate rate status.\19\ We have not
received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results
that provides a basis for reconsideration of this determination.
Therefore, the Department continues to find that these companies meet
the criteria for separate rate status.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 21101 and accompanying
Decision Memorandum at 4-6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Zhejiang New Oriental was not selected for individual review but,
as explained above, meets the criteria for separate rate status. As in
the Preliminary Results, we have assigned Zhejiang New Oriental the
rate calculated for the mandatory respondent (i.e., the RMB/IFI Group).
The RMB IFI Group's rate is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on
facts available.\20\ For the final results, we continue to find this
approach to be consistent with section 735(c)(5) of the Act and the
Department's practice.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See Preliminary Results, and accompanying Decision
Memorandum at 7. See also Fourth Administrative Review of Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results, Preliminary Partial Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Intent Not To Revoke, In Part, 75 FR
11855, 11859 (March 12, 2010).
\21\ See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 21101.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity
For the PRC-Wide Entity, the Department in the Preliminary Results
assigned the rate of 206 percent, the only rate ever determined for the
PRC-wide entity in this proceeding.\22\ Because this rate is the same
as the PRC-Wide rate from previous segments in this proceeding and
nothing on the record of the instant review calls into question the
reliability of the PRC-Wide rate, we find it appropriate to continue to
apply the PRC-Wide rate of 206 percent.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 21103, and accompanying
Decision Memorandum at 7-8.
\23\ See STR Final Determination, 74 FR at 8910.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that those
companies which did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate are
properly considered part of the PRC-Wide Entity.\24\ Since the
Preliminary Results, none of these companies submitted comments
regarding these findings. Therefore, we continue to treat these
companies as part of the PRC- Wide Entity.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\24\ See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 21102, and accompanying
Decision Memorandum at 7-8.
\25\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, in the Preliminary Results, for five companies,\26\
the Department found that, while the request for review had been
withdrawn, none of these five companies had a separate rate.
Accordingly, these five companies remained part of the PRC-wide entity,
which remained under review for the Preliminary Results.\27\ Thus, the
Department did not rescind the review for each of these five companies
for the Preliminary Results. Since the Preliminary Results, no party
has presented any information to the contrary and thus, these five
companies remain part of the PRC-wide entity, which remains under
review for the final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ On July 26, 2012, Vulcan Threaded Products Inc.
(``Petitioner'') timely withdrew its request for review for five
companies: (1) Autocraft Industry Ltd.; (2) Autocraft Industry
(Shanghai) Ltd.; (3) Fuda Xiongzhen Machinery Co., Ltd.; (4)
Shanghai Furen International Trading; and (5) Shanghai Printing and
Packaging Machinery Corp. No other party requested a review on these
five companies.
\27\ See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 21101.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Review
The dumping margins for the POR are as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Jiaxing Brother Standard Part Co., Ltd., IFI & Morgan 19.54
Ltd. and RMB Fasteners Ltd. (collectively ``RMB/IFI
Group'')..................................................
(2) Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener Co., Ltd................ *19.54
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the publication date of these final results of this review. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise subject to
this review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the
Department will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of sales.\28\ We
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment
rate is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\28\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener Co., Ltd., the company receiving
a separate rate that was not selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate based on the rate we calculated for the
mandatory respondent whose rate was not de minimis, as discussed above.
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject
merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity at the PRC-wide rate.
The Department recently announced a refinement to its assessment
practice in NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for
entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by
companies individually examined during this review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the NME-wide rate. In
addition, if the Department determines that an exporter under review
had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's
rate) will be liquidated at the NME-wide rate. For a full discussion of
this practice, see NME Antidumping Proceedings.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the RMB/IFI Group
and Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener Co., Ltd., the cash deposit rate
will be that established in the final results of this review; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters that
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific
rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not
been found to be entitled to a separate rate,
[[Page 66333]]
the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity; 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 exporter that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Notification to Importers Regarding the 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 Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 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 or 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: October 23, 2013.
