Calcium Hypochlorite From the People's Republic of China: Final Decision To Rescind the New Shipper Review of Haixing Jingmei Chemical Products Sales Co., Ltd., 83804-83805 [2016-28103]

Download as PDF 83804 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 22, 2016 / Notices innerspring unit models at its own facility in Guangzhou, PRC. Petitioner believed that its operation (and costs) in the PRC are representative of the operations (and costs) of other PRC innerspring unit producers/exporters, as it is the largest producer of innersprings in the PRC.27 According to Petitioner’s analysis of its own production costs in the PRC, the total value of these innerspring components compose a significant portion of the total value of an innerspring unit.28 Similarly, based on the limited information available from the sixth administrative review, we find that the value of production in the PRC appears to comprise a significant portion of the value of Macao Commercial’s innersprings units.29 E. Additional Factors for Consideration Section 781(b)(3) of the Act directs the Department to consider additional factors in determining whether to include merchandise assembled or completed in a foreign country within the scope of the Order. (1) Pattern of Trade Macao Commercial stated that it expressly set up the flow of trade of innerspring components from the PRC in order to make Macau the country of origin for shipment to countries with antidumping duty orders.30 Additionally, data from the United States International Trade Commission DataWeb show a significant increase of U.S. imports of innerspring units from Macau since the imposition of the Order.31 (2) Affiliation Macao Commercial is affiliated with a producer of subject merchandise in the PRC and is also affiliated with other Macanese companies involved in the innersprings industry.32 Generally, the Department considers circumvention to be more likely to occur when the manufacturer of the PRC-origin merchandise is related to the third country assembler and is a critical element in our evaluation of circumvention.33 27 Id. at 14–15 and Exhibit 6. 28 Id. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES 29 See AR6 Factual Information Memo at Attachment 1, Exhibit 3. 30 See AR6 Factual Information Memo at Attachment 1, page 3. 31 See Memorandum to the File ‘‘Innerspring Units Import Data,’’ dated concurrently with this initiation notice. 32 See AR6 Factual Information Memo at Attachments 1 and 2. 33 See Goldon Prelim, and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ‘‘Affiliation.’’ VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Nov 21, 2016 Jkt 241001 (3) Increase of Subject Imports From the PRC to Macau After the Investigation Initiation We did not examine any evidence regarding an increase in subject imports (i.e., completed uncovered innerspring units) from the PRC to Macau after the initiation of the investigation. Further, Macao Commercial stated in the sixth administrative review that it does not transship PRC-origin innerspring units to the United States.34 Nonetheless, this factor does not appear particularly relevant in a completion/assembly in a third country circumvention inquiry because the issue is not subject imports from the PRC to Macau, but rather parts for assembly.35 F. Whether Action Is Appropriate To Prevent Evasion of the Order Based on the factual information placed on the record concurrently with this initiation, and for the reasons provided in the analysis above, pursuant to section 781(b)(1)(E) of the Act, the Department determines that initiating an anticircumvention inquiry is appropriate to identify any potential evasion of the Order. Analysis of the Request Based on our analysis of the record information from prior segments placed on the record concurrently with this initiation, and our prior circumvention findings under this Order, the Department determines that this selfinitiation of an anticircumvention inquiry is warranted. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(b), the Department will notify by mail all parties on the Department’s scope service list of the initiation of an anticircumvention inquiry. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), if the Department issues a preliminary affirmative determination, we will then instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties on the merchandise. This circumvention inquiry covers Macao Commercial. If, within sufficient time, the Department receives a formal request from an interested party regarding potential circumvention of the Order by other Macanese companies, or if the Department determines from available information that an inquiry is warranted with respect to other Macanese companies, we will consider conducting additional inquiries concurrently. 34 See AR6 Factual Information Memo at Attachment 3, page 2. 35 See, e.g., Goldon Initiation. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Department will establish a schedule for questionnaires and comments on the issues. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(f)(5) and section 781(f) of the Act, unless extended, the Department intends to issue its final determination within 300 days of the date of publication of this initiation. This notice is published in accordance 19 CFR 351.225(f). Dated: November 16, 2014. Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.

Final Rescission of Jingmei New Shipper Review

    In the Preliminary Rescission, we preliminarily determined to 
rescind this review because we requested but were not provided 
sufficient information to conduct a bona fide analysis as required by 
the statute, and accordingly cannot determine whether the new shipper 
sales of Jingmei are bona fide. Based on the Department's complete 
analysis of all of the information and comments on the record of this 
review, we make no changes to the Preliminary Rescission. Accordingly, 
we have determined to rescind this NSR with respect to Jingmei. For a 
complete discussion, see the Preliminary Bona Fide Memo \5\ and the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.

China: Haixing Jingmei Chemical Products Sales Co., Ltd.,'' dated 
June 20, 2016 (``Preliminary Bona Fide Memo'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    As the Department is rescinding this NSR, we have not calculated a 
company-specific dumping margin for Jingmei.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Effective upon publication of this notice of the final rescission 
of the NSR of Jingmei, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to discontinue the option of posting a bond or 
security in lieu of a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise 
from Jingmei. Because we did not calculate a dumping margin for 
Jingmei, Jingmei continues to be part of the PRC-wide entity. The cash 
deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity is 200.90 percent.\6\ The current 
cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
