Tolling of Deadlines for Preliminary
Results
As explained in the memorandum
from the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department has exercised its discretion
to toll deadlines for the duration of the
closure of the Federal Government from
October 1, through October 16, 2013.3
Therefore, all deadlines in this segment
of the proceeding have been extended
by 16 days. If the new deadline falls on
a non-business day, in accordance with
the Department’s practice, the deadline
will become the next business day. The
revised deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is now November
18, 2013.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). Export prices and
constructed export prices have been
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a
non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) within
the meaning of section 771(18) of the
Act, NV has been calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, hereby adopted
by this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file 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. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is also available
in the Central Records Unit, room 7046
of the main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The
signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.

The Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of
its analysis of issues raised in any briefs,
within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Deadline for Submission of Publicly
Available Surrogate Value Information
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3)(ii), the deadline for
submission of publicly available
information to value factors of
production under 19 CFR 351.408(c) is
20 days after the date of publication of
the preliminary results.14 In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(1), if an
interested party submits factual
information less than ten days before,
on, or after (if the Department has
extended the deadline), the applicable
deadline for submission of such factual
information, an interested party may
submit factual information to rebut,
clarify, or correct the factual
information no later than ten days after
such factual information is served on
the interested party. However, the
Department generally will not accept in
the rebuttal submission additional or
alternative surrogate value information
not previously on the record, if the

14 The Department recently announced a change
in the deadline to submit publicly available
information to value factors of production under 19
CFR 351.301(c)(3)(ii). To all segments initiated on
or after May 10, 2013, the deadline to submit
publicly available information to value factors of
production in an administrative review is 30 days
prior to the scheduled preliminary results of
review. This change will not apply to the first
administrative review of wood flooring due to the
effective date. See Definition of Factual Information
and Time Limits for Submission of Factual
Information, 78 FR 21246 (April 10, 2013).
13 See

deadline for submission of surrogate
value information has passed.15
Furthermore, the Department generally
will not accept business proprietary
information in either the surrogate value
submissions or the rebuttals thereto, as
the regulation regarding the submission
of surrogate values allows only for the
submission of publicly available
information.16
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 covered by this
review.17 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. For any
individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent) in the final results of this
review, the Department will calculate an
importer-specific assessment rate on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of sales, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). In these
preliminary results, the Department
applied the assessment rate calculation
method adopted in the Final
Modification for Reviews.18 Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rate is
zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries containing subject merchandise
exported by the PRC-wide entity at the
PRC-wide rate we determine in the final
results of this review.
The Department announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in
NME antidumping duty cases.19

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
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the companies listed above the cash
deposit rate will be their respective rate
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; (2) for
previously investigated PRC and nonPRC 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 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.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties. We are
issuing and publishing these results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the ‘‘Department’’) is conducting the
fourth administrative review and the
first new shipper review (‘‘NSR’’) of the
antidumping duty order on steel wire
garment hangers from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 There is
one participating mandatory respondent
in this review, the Shanghai Wells
Group.2 We selected seven additional
companies as mandatory respondents
AGENCY:
1 See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Steel
Wire Garment Hangers from the People’s Republic
of China, 73 FR 58111 (October 6, 2008) (‘‘Order’’).
2 The Department previously found that Shanghai
Wells Hanger Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Wells’’), Hong
Kong Wells Ltd. (‘‘HK Wells’’) and Hong Kong
Wells Ltd. (USA) (‘‘Wells USA’’) are affiliated and
that Shanghai Wells and HK Wells comprise a
single entity (collectively, ‘‘Shanghai Wells
Group’’). Because there were no changes in this
review to the facts that supported that decision, we
continue to find Shanghai Wells, HK Wells, and
USA Wells are affiliated and that Shanghai Wells
and HK Wells comprise a single entity. See Steel

but, they did not participate.3 Also
under review is the new shipper
company Hangzhou Yingqing Material
Co. Ltd. (‘‘Yingqing’’). The Department
has preliminarily determined that
Yingqing and Shanghai Wells sold
subject merchandise in the United
States at prices below normal value
during the period of review (‘‘POR’’),
October 1, 2011, through September 30,
2012. Additionally, seven companies
were selected for review, but did not
fully cooperate and have been
determined to be part of the PRC-wide
entity.4 If these preliminary results are
adopted in our final results of review,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR. We invite interested parties to
comment on these preliminary results.
As explained in the memorandum
from the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department has exercised its discretion
to toll deadlines for the duration of the
closure of the Federal Government from
October 1, through October 16, 2013.5
Therefore, all deadlines in this segment
of the proceeding have been extended
by 16 days. If the new deadline falls on
a non-business day, in accordance with
the Department’s practice, the deadline
will become the next business day. The
revised deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is now November
18, 2013.6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').
Export prices and constructed export prices have been calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a non-market
economy (``NME'') within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, NV
has been calculated in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, hereby
adopted by this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file 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. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is also
available in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum
and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.

Samling Group (``Samling Group''): Baroque Timber Industries
(Zhongshan) Co., Ltd.; Riverside Plywood Corporation; Samling
Elegant Living Trading (Labuan) Limited; Samling Global USA, Inc.;
and Samling Riverside Co., Ltd. Additionally, Power Dekor Group Co.,
Ltd. (``Power Dekor'') did not have any qualifying shipments for the
Department to review, due to their one shipment undergoing review
during Power Dekor's New Shipper Review. Power Dekor will therefore
maintain the dumping margin that was assessed as a result of the New
Shipper Review.

The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will include the results of its analysis
of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Deadline for Submission of Publicly Available Surrogate Value
Information
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(ii), the deadline for
submission of publicly available information to value factors of
production under 19 CFR 351.408(c) is 20 days after the date of
publication of the preliminary results.\14\ In accordance with 19 CFR
351.301(c)(1), if an interested party submits factual information less
than ten days before, on, or after (if the Department has extended the
deadline), the applicable deadline for submission of such factual
information, an interested party may submit factual information to
rebut, clarify, or correct the factual information no later than ten
days after such factual information is served on the interested party.
However, the Department generally will not accept in the rebuttal
submission additional or alternative surrogate value information not
previously on the record, if the deadline for submission of surrogate
value information has passed.\15\ Furthermore, the Department generally
will not accept business proprietary information in either the
surrogate value submissions or the rebuttals thereto, as the regulation
regarding the submission of surrogate values allows only for the
submission of publicly available information.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ The Department recently announced a change in the deadline
to submit publicly available information to value factors of
production under 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(ii). To all segments initiated
on or after May 10, 2013, the deadline to submit publicly available
information to value factors of production in an administrative
review is 30 days prior to the scheduled preliminary results of
review. This change will not apply to the first administrative
review of wood flooring due to the effective date. See Definition of
Factual Information and Time Limits for Submission of Factual
Information, 78 FR 21246 (April 10, 2013).

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final
Rescission, in Part, 72 FR 58809 (October 17, 2007), and

\16\ See 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 covered by this
review.\17\ The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this
review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final
results of this review, the Department will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for the importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in the Final Modification
for Reviews.\18\ Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer- (or customer-) specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject
merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity at the PRC-wide rate we
determine in the final results of this review.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping

(``Final Modification for Reviews.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in
NME antidumping duty cases.\19\ Pursuant to this refinement in
practice, for merchandise that was not reported
[[Page 70271]]
in the U.S. sales databases submitted by an exporter individually
examined during this review, but that entered under the case number of
that exporter (i.e., at the individually-examined exporter's cash
deposit rate), the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the PRC-wide rate. Additionally, pursuant to this
refinement, 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 will be liquidated at the
PRC-wide rate.

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full
discussion of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies
listed above the cash deposit rate will be their respective rate
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; (2) for previously investigated 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 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.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties. We are issuing and publishing
these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: November 18, 2013.
