Department is notifying the public that
the final judgment in this case is not in
harmony with the Department’s Final
Determination and is amending the
Final Determination of the antidumping
duty investigation of boltless steel
shelving units from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) with respect
to the countervailing duty export
subsidy adjustments applied to the cash
deposit rates calculated for the Final
Determination.2

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
19, 2016, the CIT remanded this case to
the Department, based on a request for
voluntary remand, to reconsider the
amount of the export subsidy
adjustments used to calculate cash
deposit rates for respondents.3 Pursuant
to the Final Remand Results, we
reconsidered our export subsidy
adjustments, as applied in the Final
Determination, and revised our Final
Determination cash deposit
calculations, adjusted for export
subsidies, in accordance with the
established policy and practice
articulated in Drawn Stainless Steel
Sinks from the People’s Republic of
China: Antidumping Duty Investigation,
77 FR 60673 (October 4, 2012) (‘‘PRC
Sinks’’). The CIT sustained the
Department’s Final Remand Results on
June 22, 2016, making the effective date
of this notice July 5, 2016.
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at
341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,
the CAFC held that, pursuant to section
516A(e) Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’), the Department must
publish a notice of a court decision that
is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Department
determination and must suspend
liquidation of entries pending a
‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s
June 22, 2016, judgment sustaining the
Department’s Final Remand Results
constitutes a final decision of that court
that is not in harmony with the
Department’s Final Determination. This

notice is published in fulfillment of the
publication requirements of Timken.
Accordingly, the Department will
continue the suspension of liquidation
of the subject merchandise pending the
expiration of the period of appeal, or if
appealed, pending a final and
conclusive court decision.
Amended Final Determination
Because there is now a final court
decision, we are amending the Final
Determination with respect to the
amount of the export subsidy
adjustments applied to the calculated
cash deposit rates, in accordance with
the Final Remand Results. Based on our
applied practice in PRC Sinks, the
proper adjustments to the AD cash
deposits in the Final Determination of
this investigation, as noted in the Final
Remand Results, are as follows:
(1) For Zhongda United Holding
Group Co., Ltd. (‘‘Zhongda’’), we
reduced the AD cash deposit rate by the
simple average of the export subsidy
rates determined for the mandatory
respondents in the companion CVD
investigation. This adjustment is: 17.55
percent minus 0.02 percent,4 resulting
in an adjusted AD cash deposit rate of
17.53 percent;
(2) For the other producer/exporter
combinations receiving a separate rate
we also reduced the AD cash deposit
rate, which is based on the 17.55
percent calculated rate for Zhongda, by
the simple average of the export subsidy
rates determined for the mandatory
respondents in the companion CVD
investigation. This adjustment is: 17.55
percent minus 0.02 percent,5 percent
resulting in an adjusted AD cash deposit
rate of 17.53 percent; and
(3) For the PRC-wide entity (including
Nanjing Topsun Racking Manufacturing
Co., Ltd.), which received an adverse
facts available rate based on information
contained in the Petition, as an
extension of the adverse inference found
necessary pursuant to section 776(b) of
the Act, the Department has adjusted
the PRC-wide entity’s AD cash deposit
rate by the lowest export subsidy rate
determined for any party in the
4 In the companion countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’)
investigation, Zhongda was not a mandatory
respondent and received the calculated ‘‘all-others’’
export subsidy rate of 0.02 percent, which should
be used to adjust Zhongda’s calculated AD cash
deposit rate. See Boltless Steel Shelving Units
Prepackaged for Sale from the People’s Republic of
China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination, 80 FR 51775 (August 26, 2015)
(‘‘CVD Final’’) and accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum at 18–22. In the CVD Final,
the export subsidy rates determined for the
mandatory respondents was 0.00 percent and 0.04
percent, the simple average of which is 0.02
percent.

companion CVD proceeding, which was
0.00 percent. Accordingly, the AD cash
deposit rate of 112.68 percent is not
adjusted, as an extension of the adverse
inference found necessary under section
776(b) of the Act.
In the event the CIT’s ruling is not
appealed, the Department will instruct
CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the estimated amount by which the
normal value exceeds the U.S. price as
indicated in the Final Determination,
adjusted where appropriate for the
export subsidies noted above.6 These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 516A(e)(1),
751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Post-Prosecution Pilot Program
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; request for comment.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (Office) is initiating a
Post-Prosecution Pilot Program (P3) to
test its impact on enhancing patent
practice during the period subsequent to
a final rejection and prior to the filing
of a notice of appeal. This Pilot Program
responds to stakeholder input gathered
during public forums held in support of
the Enhanced Patent Quality Initiative.
Under the P3, a panel of examiners,
including the examiner of record, will
hold a conference with the applicant to
review the applicant’s response to the
final rejection of record. In order to
participate in the P3, the applicant will
be required to file a request for
consideration under the P3 within two
months from the mailing date of a final
rejection and prior to filing a notice of
appeal, together with a response to the
final rejection and a statement that the
applicant is willing and available to
participate in the conference. The
applicant will have the option of
including in the response a proposed
non-broadening amendment to a
claim(s). The Office designed the P3 to
increase the value of after final practice
by (1) leveraging applicant input
obtained through an oral presentation
during a conference with a panel of
examiners, and (2) also providing
written explanation for the panel
decision. The P3 is also designed to
reduce the number of appeals and issues
to be taken up on appeal to the Patent
Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and
reduce the number of Requests for
Continued Examination (RCE), and
simplify the after final landscape. This
notice identifies requirements and
procedures of the P3, which will govern
entry into, and practice under, the P3.
This notice also solicits public
comments on the P3 and other
suggestions to improve after final
practice and reduce the number of both
appeals to the PTAB and RCEs.
DATES: Effective Date: July 11, 2016.
Duration: The P3 will accept requests
beginning July 11, 2016, until either
January 12, 2017, or the date the Office
accepts a total (collectively across all
technology centers) of 1,600 compliant
requests to participate under the P3,
whichever occurs first. Each individual
