requested to extend the application of
the provisional measures prescribed
under section 733(d) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.210(e)(2), from a four-month

to a request from Oman Fasteners and
in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii)

Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 733(d)(2)
of the Act, we are directing U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to suspend liquidation of all entries of
nails from Oman as described in the
scope of the investigation section
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), we
will instruct CBP to require a cash
deposit equal to the weighted-average
amount by which the NV exceeds EP, as
indicated in the chart above.9 These
suspension of liquidation instructions
will remain in effect until further notice.

International Trade Commission
(‘‘ITC’’) Notification
In accordance with section 733(f) of
the Act, we have notified the ITC of our
preliminary affirmative determination of
sales at LTFV. Because the preliminary
determination in this proceeding is
affirmative, section 735(b)(2) of the Act
requires that the ITC make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports of
certain steel nails from Oman before the
later of 120 days after the date of this
preliminary determination or 45 days
after our final determination. Because
we are postponing the deadline for our
final determination to 135 days from the
date of publication of this preliminary
determination, as discussed above, the
ITC will make its final determination no

People’s Republic of China’’ (Decision
Memorandum), dated December 22,
2014, which is hereby adopted by this
notice. A list of the topics included in
the Decision Memorandum is attached
as an Appendix to this notice.
The Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file
electronically via the Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users

The signed Decision Memorandum and

Memorandum are identical in content.
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order consists of

order is classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) statistical
categories 5806.32.1020; 5806.32.1030;

Order, 75 FR 53642 (September 1, 2010),
remains dispositive.
A full description of the scope of the
order is contained in the Decision
Memorandum.
Methodology
We conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). For each of the subsidy programs
found countervailable, we have
determined that there is a subsidy, i.e.,
a government-provided financial
contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient,
and that the subsidy is specific.2
In making these findings, we relied on
facts available and, because Bestpak and
the Government of the PRC did not act
to the best of their ability to respond to
our requests for information, we have
drawn adverse inferences in selecting
from among the facts otherwise
available.3 For further information, see
‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and
Adverse Inferences’’ in the Decision
Memorandum.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Decision
Memorandum.
Changes from the Preliminary Results
No party submitted comments with
respect to the Preliminary Results.
Because we have identified more
appropriate information for use as
adverse facts available, we have revised
the net subsidy rate for Bestpak
accordingly. For a full description of
that updated information and
accompanying changes, see the Decision
Memorandum.

Final Results of the Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated an
individual subsidy rate for Bestpak for
the period January 1, 2012, through
December 31, 2012.
We find that the net subsidy rate for
Bestpak is as follows:

regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E)
of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of
