Because the total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates for the examined companies are de minimis, we determine that countervailable subsidies are not being provided to producers or exporters of nails in Malaysia. Consistent with section 705(c)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we have not calculated an all-others rate because we have not reached an affirmative final determination. Because our final determination is negative, this proceeding is terminated in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act. In the Preliminary Determination, the total net countervailable subsidy rates for the individually examined respondents were de minimis and, therefore, we did not suspend liquidation of entries of nails from Malaysia.4 Because the estimated subsidy rates for the examined companies are de minimis in this final determination, we are not directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of entries of nails from Malaysia. United States International Trade Commission (USITC) Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the USITC of our final determination. Because our final determination is negative, this investigation is terminated. Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 that is subject to sanction.

Final Determination

    The total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Subsidy

Inmax Sdn. Bhd and Inmax Industries Sdn. Bhd................      * 0.01
Region System Sdn. Bhd......................................      * 0.02
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* De minimis.

    Because the total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates for 
the examined companies are de minimis, we determine that 
countervailable subsidies are not being provided to producers or 
exporters of nails in Malaysia. Consistent with section 705(c)(1)(B) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we have not calculated an 
all-others rate because we have not reached an affirmative final 
determination. Because our final determination is negative, this 
proceeding is terminated in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the 
Act.
    In the Preliminary Determination, the total net countervailable 
subsidy rates for the individually examined respondents were de minimis 
and, therefore, we did not suspend liquidation of entries of nails from 
Malaysia.\4\ Because the estimated subsidy rates for the examined 
companies are de minimis in this final determination, we are not 
directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of 
entries of nails from Malaysia.

United States International Trade Commission (USITC) Notification

    In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
USITC of our final determination. Because our final determination is 
negative, this investigation is terminated.

Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 that is subject 
to sanction.
    This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 
705(d) and 777(i) of the Act.
