We also applied an adverse inference in selecting from among the facts available, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, because we found that Creative Furniture failed to cooperate to the best of its ability in providing the requested information.5 No parties commented on this specific determination or on the margin assigned to Creative Furniture in the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, we are continuing to assign to Creative Furniture a dumping margin of 234.51 percent, based on total adverse facts available. Consistent with section 502 of the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public Law 114–27, we are no longer corroborating the rate assigned to Creative Furniture for purposes of these final results.6 Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily determined that Comfort Coil did not have any reviewable transactions of subject merchandise during the POR.7 We stated, consistent with the Department’s practice in nonmarket economy (‘‘NME’’) cases, that we would not rescind the review, but rather complete the review with respect to Comfort Coil and issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) based on the final results of the review.8 We did not receive any comments regarding Comfort Coil. Therefore, we continue to determine that Comfort Coil had no reviewable transactions of subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with our ‘‘automatic assessment’’ clarification, the Department will issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on our final results.9 Final Results of Review Creative Furniture’s weighted-average dumping margin for the period February 5 See Preliminary Results, and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 5–6. 6 See Issues and Decision Memorandum for further discussion of this issue. 7 See Preliminary Results and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 4. 8 Id. 9 See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings; Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (‘‘Assessment Practice Refinement’’).
