(‘‘Haixing Jingmei’’).2 Haixing Jingmei certified that it is the exporter of the subject merchandise upon which the request is based and that its affiliate, Haixing Eno Chemical Co., Ltd., is the producer of the subject merchandise.3 Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii), Haixing Jingmei certified that it did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’).4 Further, Haixing Eno Chemical Co., Ltd. certified that it is the producer of the subject merchandise upon which the request is based. In addition, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Haixing Jingmei certified that, since the initiation of the investigation, it has never been affiliated with any PRC exporter or producer who exported subject merchandise to the United States during the POI, including those respondents not individually examined during the investigation.5 As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Haixing Jingmei also certified that its export activities were not controlled by the government of the PRC.6 In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Haixing Jingmei submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) The date on which it first shipped subject merchandise for export to the United States; (2) the volume of its first shipment and subsequent shipments; and (3) the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States.7 Finally, the Department conducted a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) database query and confirmed the price, quantity, date of sale, and date of entry of Haixing Jingmei’s sales.8 1 See Calcium Hypochlorite From the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 80 FR 5085 (January 30, 2015) (‘‘Order’’). 2 See Letter from Haixing Jingmei, ‘‘Entry of Appearance and Corrected Request for New Shipper Review: Calcium Hypochlorite from the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated July 20, 2015 (‘‘NSR Request’’). 3 Id., at 2–3 and Exhibit 1. 4 Id. 5 Id. 6 Id. 7 Id., at 3 and Exhibit 2; see also Letter from Haixing Jingmei, ‘‘Calcium Hypochlorite from the People’s Republic of China: Response to PreInitiation Question,’’ dated July 24, 2015. 8 The Department will place the results of the completed CBP database query along with Haixing PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Initiation of New Shipper Review Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b), and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), and based on the evidence provided by Haixing Jingmei, we find that its request meets the threshold requirements for initiation of the NSR for shipments of calcium hypochlorite from the PRC produced by Haixing Eno Chemical Co., Ltd. and exported by Haixing Jingmei.9 The POR is July 25, 2014, through June 30, 2015.10 If the information supplied by Haixing Jingmei is found to be incorrect or insufficient during the course of this proceeding, the Department may rescind the review for Haixing Jingmei or apply facts available pursuant to section 776 of the Act, depending on the facts on record. Absent a determination that the new shipper review is extraordinarily complicated, the Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this NSR within 180 days from the date of initiation and the final results within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results are issued.11 It is the Department’s usual practice, in cases involving non-market economies (‘‘NMEs’’), to require that a company seeking to establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the NME entity-wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government control over the company’s export activities. Accordingly, we will issue questionnaires to Haixing Jingmei that will include a section requesting information concerning its eligibility for a separate rate.

Scope of the Investigation and Scope Comments The scope of this investigation covers boltless steel shelving units prepackaged for sale, with or without decks (‘‘boltless steel shelving’’). The term ‘‘prepackaged for sale’’ means that, at a minimum, the steel vertical supports (i.e., uprights and posts) and steel horizontal supports (i.e., beams, braces) necessary to assemble a completed shelving unit (with or without decks) are packaged together for ultimate purchase by the end-user. The scope also includes add-on kits. Add-on kits include, but are not limited to, kits that allow the end-user to add an extension shelving unit onto an existing boltless steel shelving unit such that the extension and the original unit will share common frame elements (e.g., two posts). The term ‘‘boltless’’ refers to steel shelving in which the vertical and horizontal supports forming the frame are assembled primarily without the use of nuts and bolts, or screws. The vertical and horizontal support members for boltless steel shelving are assembled by methods such as, but not limited to, fitting a rivet, punched or cut tab, or other similar connector on one support into a hole, slot or similar receptacle on another support. The supports lock together to form the frame for the shelving unit, and provide the structural integrity of the shelving unit separate from the inclusion of any decking. The incidental use of nuts and bolts, or screws to add accessories, wall anchors, tie-bars or shelf supports does not remove the product from scope. Boltless steel shelving units may also come packaged as partially assembled, such as when two upright supports are welded together with front-to-back supports, or are otherwise connected, to form an end unit for the frame. The boltless steel shelving covered by this investigation may be commonly described as rivet shelving, welded frame shelving, slot and tab shelving, and punched rivet (quasi-rivet) shelving as well as by other trade names. The term ‘‘deck’’ refers to the shelf that sits on or fits into the horizontal supports (beams or braces) to provide the horizontal storage surface of the shelving unit. E:\FR\FM\26AUN1.SGM 26AUN1

Background

    The AD order on calcium hypochlorite was published in the Federal 
Register on January 30, 2015.\1\ On July 20, 2015, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
and 19 CFR 351.214(b), the Department received a NSR request from 
Haixing Jingmei Chemical Products Sales Co., Ltd. (``Haixing 
Jingmei'').\2\ Haixing Jingmei certified that it is the exporter of the 
subject merchandise upon which the request is based and that its 
affiliate, Haixing Eno Chemical Co., Ltd., is the producer of the 
subject merchandise.\3\

the request is based. In addition, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), 
Haixing Jingmei certified that, since the initiation of the 
investigation, it has never been affiliated with any PRC exporter or 
producer who exported subject merchandise to the United States during 
the POI, including those respondents not individually examined during

    In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Haixing Jingmei submitted documentation 
establishing the following: (1) The date on which it first shipped 
subject merchandise for export to the United States; (2) the volume of

Protection (``CBP'') database query and confirmed the price, quantity, 
date of sale, and date of entry of Haixing Jingmei's sales.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Department will place the results of the completed CBP 
database query along with Haixing Jingmei's entry documents on the

Initiation of New Shipper Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b), and 
19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), and based on the evidence provided by Haixing 
Jingmei, we find that its request meets the threshold requirements for 
initiation of the NSR for shipments of calcium hypochlorite from the 
PRC produced by Haixing Eno Chemical Co., Ltd. and exported by Haixing 
Jingmei.\9\ The POR is July 25, 2014, through June 30, 2015.\10\ If the 
information supplied by Haixing Jingmei is found to be incorrect or 
insufficient during the course of this proceeding, the Department may 
rescind the review for Haixing Jingmei or apply facts available 
pursuant to section 776 of the Act, depending on the facts on record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See ``Memorandum to the File, from Irene Gorelik, Senior 
Analyst, ``Calcium Hypochlorite from the People's Republic of China: 
New Shipper Initiation Checklist,'' dated concurrently with this 
notice and herein incorporated by reference.
    \10\ See 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(ii)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Absent a determination that the new shipper review is 
extraordinarily complicated, the Department intends to issue the 
preliminary results of this NSR within 180 days from the date of 
initiation and the final results within 90 days after the date on which 
the preliminary results are issued.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is the Department's usual practice, in cases involving non-
market economies (``NMEs''), to require that a company seeking to 
establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the 
NME entity-wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence 
of government control over the company's export activities. 
Accordingly, we will issue questionnaires to Haixing Jingmei that will 
include a section requesting information concerning its eligibility for 
a separate rate. The NSR will proceed if the responses provide 
sufficient indication that Haixing Jingmei is not subject to either de 
jure or de facto government control with respect to its exports of 
subject merchandise.
    We will instruct CBP to allow, at the option of the importer, the 
posting, until the completion of this review, of a bond or security in 
lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise from 
the requesting companies in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Haixing Jingmei certified 
that its affiliate Haixing Eno Chemical Co., Ltd. produced the subject 
merchandise which Haixing Jingmei exported, the

[[Page 51775]]

sales of which are the basis for the NSR request, we will instruct CBP 
to permit the use of a bond only for subject merchandise which Haixing 
Eno Chemical Co., Ltd produced and Haixing Jingmei exported.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative 
protective order, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306.
    This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.214, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
