shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
this review.
If Borusan’s or Toscelik’s weightedaverage dumping margins are not zero
or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
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 the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where either a
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.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for Borusan and
Toscelik will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for other manufacturers and
exporters covered in a prior segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which that manufacturer
or exporter participated; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 14.74
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.12 These
deposit requirements, when imposed,

The Department will issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of our analysis of
the issues raised by the parties in their
comments, within 120 days after the
publication of these preliminary results,
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rate
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b), upon issuance of the final
results of the review, the Department
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. If ASB’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
above de minimis, we will calculate
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the importer’s examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
5 See
PO 00000
19 CFR 351.310.
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
results of this review is above de
minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). 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. The final results of
this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by each
respondent for which they did not know
that their merchandise was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of administrative review for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for ASB will be the
rate established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by manufacturers
or exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 8.54

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on aluminum
extrusions from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’).1 The period of review
(‘‘POR’’) is May 1, 2012, through April
30, 2013. The review covers the
following exporters of subject
merchandise: mandatory respondents
Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System
Engineering Co., Ltd. and Jangho
Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd.
(collectively ‘‘Jangho’’), and the single
entity comprised of Guang Ya
Aluminum Industrial Co., Ltd. (‘‘Guang
Ya’’), Foshan Guangcheng Aluminum
Co., Ltd. (‘‘Guangcheng’’), Kong Ah
International Co., Ltd. (‘‘Kong Ah’’), and
Guang Ya Aluminum Industries (Hong
Kong) Ltd. (‘‘Guang Ya HK’’)
(collectively ‘‘Guang Ya Group’’);
Guangdong Zhongya Aluminum Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Zhongya’’), Zhongya Shaped
Aluminum (HK) Holding Ltd. (‘‘Shaped
Aluminum’’), and Karlton Aluminum
Co., Ltd. (‘‘Karlton’’) (collectively
‘‘Zhongya’’), and Foshan Nanhai Xinya
Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product
Co., Ltd. (‘‘Xinya’’) (collectively ‘‘Guang
Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya’’); and
Kromet International, Inc. (‘‘Kromet’’), a
voluntary respondent. The Department
preliminarily finds that Kromet did not
make sales of subject merchandise at
less than normal value. In addition, the
Department preliminarily determines
that Jangho and Guang Ya Group/
Zhongya/Xinya failed to demonstrate
that they were eligible for separate-rate
status and thus have been included in
the PRC-wide entity. We also
preliminarily determine that three
companies, Hong Kong Gree Electric
Appliances Sales Limited (‘‘Gree’’),
Jiuyuan Co., Ltd. (‘‘Jiuyuan’’), and
Shenzhen Hudson Technology
Development Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shenzhen
Hudson’’) had no shipments.

Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, titled ``Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Belgium:
Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2012-2013,'' dated concurrently with and
hereby adopted by this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed
export price (CEP) is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the
Act. Normal Value (NV) is calculated in accordance with section 773 of
the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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 and 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 and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that a
weighted-average dumping margin of 1.53 percent exists for ASB for the
period May 1, 2012, through April 30, 2013.
Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department intends to disclose to parties to this proceeding
the calculations performed in reaching the preliminary results within
five days after the date of publication of these preliminary
results.\3\ Interested parties may submit written comments (case
briefs) no later than 30 days after the date of publication of the
preliminary results and rebuttal comments (rebuttal briefs) no later
than five days after the time limit for filing case briefs.\4\ Pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.309(d)(2), rebuttal briefs must be limited to issues
raised in the case briefs. Parties who submit arguments are requested
to submit with the argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief
summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. All briefs
must be filed electronically using IA ACCESS. An electronically filed
document must be received successfully in its entirety by the
Department's electronic records system, IA ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern
Time on the date the document is due.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii) and (d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, or to participate if one is requested, must submit a
written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, filed electronically via IA ACCESS. An electronically filed
document must be received successfully in its entirety by the
Department's electronic records system, IA ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern
Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.
Requests should contain the party's name, address, and telephone
number, the number of participants, and a list of the issues to be
discussed. Oral presentations will be limited to issues raised in the
case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties
will be notified of the date and time for the hearing to be held at the
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20230.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.310.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department will issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of our analysis of the issues raised by
the parties in their comments, within 120 days after the publication of
these preliminary results, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rate
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b), upon issuance of the final
results of the review, the Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. If ASB's weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis, we will calculate importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above
de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). 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.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment
of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by each respondent for which they
did not know that their merchandise was destined for the United States.
In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries
at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for ASB will be the
rate established in the final results of this administrative review;
(2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered
in this administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 8.54 percent, the all-
others rate established
[[Page 36003]]
in the investigation.\6\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1).
