E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM 15DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 241 / Thursday, December 15, 2016 / Notices Period of Investigation The POI is April 1, 2015, through September 30, 2015. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are LRWs. These products are properly classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 8450.20.0080. Covered merchandise may also enter under the following HTSUS subheadings: 8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080, 8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under investigation is dispositive. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see the ‘‘Scope of the Investigation,’’ in Appendix I of this notice. Scope Comments Since the Preliminary Determination, the Department has requested and received comments on the scope of this investigation from the parties in this investigation. See Issues and Decision Memorandum for further details. The scope in Appendix I reflects the final scope language. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of these issues is attached to this notice as Appendix II. Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), in August and September 2016, we verified the sales and factors of production information submitted by the two mandatory respondents in this case: Nanjing LG-Panda Appliances Co., Ltd. (LG) and Suzhou Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd./Suzhou Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd—Export (collectively, Samsung). We used standard verification procedures, including an examination of relevant 90777 accounting and production records, and original source documents provided by both respondents.3 Changes to the Dumping Margin Calculations Since the Preliminary Determination Based on the Department’s analysis of the comments received and findings at verification, we made certain changes to our dumping margin calculations. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Combination Rates In the Initiation Notice,4 the Department stated that it would calculate combination rates for the respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation.5 Final Determination Dumping Margins The Department determines, as provided in section 735 of the Act, that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period April 1, 2015, through September 30, 2015: Weighted-average margin (%) Exporter Producer Nanjing LG-Panda Appliances Co., Ltd ...................................... Suzhou Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd./Suzhou Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd—Export. PRC-Wide Entity ......................................................................... Nanjing LG-Panda Appliances Co., Ltd ..................................... Suzhou Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd./Suzhou Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd—Export. .................................................................................................... 32.12 52.51 44.28 In calculating rates for nonindividually investigated respondents in the context of non-market economy cases, the Department looks to section 735(c)(5)(A)–(B) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation.6 Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated all-others rate shall be equivalent to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any margins that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that where all individually investigated exporters or producers receive rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available, the Department may use ‘‘any reasonable method’’ to establish the allothers rate for those companies not individually investigated. In this investigation, the Department examined all known exporters/ producers of the subject merchandise. In addition, no other PRC exporters of the subject merchandise during the POI established entitlement to a separate rate.7 Thus, no non-individuallyexamined separate rates are being assigned in this investigation. Furthermore, there currently exist no respondents that have failed to cooperate in this investigation, and there are no zero or de minimis margins. Therefore, consistent with the Preliminary Determination, we have based the PRC-wide rate on a weightedaverage of the calculated rates determined for the mandatory 3 See Memorandum to the File from Brian Smith and Brandon Custard, Senior International Trade Compliance Specialists, ‘‘Verification of the Questionnaire Responses of Nanjing LG-Panda Appliances Co., Ltd. in the Antidumping Investigation of Large Residential Washers from the People’s Republic of China (PRC),’’ dated October 5, 2016; Memorandum to the File from David Goldberger and Kate Johnson, Senior International Trade Compliance Specialists, ‘‘Verification of the CEP Sales Response of Nanjing LG-Panda Appliances Co., Ltd. and LG Electronics USA, Inc.,’’ dated October 6, 2016; Memorandum to the File from Brian Smith and Brandon Custard, Senior International Trade Compliance Specialists, ‘‘Verification of the Questionnaire Responses of Suzhou Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

Based on an analysis of updated shipment data provided by LG and Samsung (i.e., including July 2016 data), as is our practice, we continue to find that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to LG, and for this final determination, we also find that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to Samsung and the PRC-wide entity. For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.11 rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation As noted above, the Department has found that critical circumstances do not longer exist with respect to imports of the subject merchandise from Samsung or the PRC-wide entity. Accordingly, for Samsung and the PRC-wide entity, in accordance with section 735(c)(3) of the Act, we will instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discontinue 8 With two respondents, we normally calculate (A) a weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents; and (C) a weightedaverage of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents using each company’s publicly-ranged values for the merchandise under consideration. We then compare (B) and (C) to (A) and select the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other companies.

Final Determination Dumping Margins

    The Department determines, as provided in section 735 of the Act, 
that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the 
period April 1, 2015, through September 30, 2015:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-

PRC-Wide Entity................  .......................           44.28
------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRC-Wide Rate

    In calculating rates for non-individually investigated respondents 
in the context of non-market economy cases, the Department looks to 
section 735(c)(5)(A)-(B) of the Act, which provides instructions for 
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation.\6\ Section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated all-others rate 
shall be equivalent to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-
average dumping margins calculated for exporters and producers 
individually investigated, excluding any margins that are zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Section 735(c)(5)(B) of 
the Act provides that where all individually investigated exporters or 
producers receive rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 
facts available, the Department may use ``any reasonable method'' to 
establish the all-others rate for those companies not individually 
investigated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Xanthan Gum from the People's Republic of China: Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 78 FR 33351 (June 4, 
2013), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at page 4-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In this investigation, the Department examined all known exporters/
producers of the subject merchandise. In addition, no other PRC 
exporters of the subject merchandise during the POI established 
entitlement to a separate rate.\7\ Thus, no non-individually-examined 
separate rates are being assigned in this investigation. Furthermore, 
there currently exist no respondents that have failed to cooperate in 
this investigation, and there are no zero or de minimis margins. 
Therefore, consistent with the Preliminary Determination, we have based 
the PRC-wide rate on a weighted-average of the calculated rates 
determined for the mandatory

[[Page 90778]]

respondents,\8\ consistent with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Determination, 81 FR at 48742.
    \8\ With two respondents, we normally calculate (A) a weighted-
average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory 
respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping margins calculated 
for the mandatory respondents; and (C) a weighted-average of the 
dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents using each 
company's publicly-ranged values for the merchandise under 
consideration. We then compare (B) and (C) to (A) and select the 
rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other 
companies. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances 
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 
(September 1, 2010). Since the Preliminary Determination, we 
requested and received complete publicly-ranged quantities from both 
respondents to properly conduct this comparison. See Samsung's 
August 11, 2016 Sections A and D Supplemental Questionnaire Response 
at Exhibit SAD-1, and LG's July 29, 2016, Section A Supplemental 
Questionnaire Response. For the final determination, we are using a 
weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated using the 
publicly-ranged quantities for the mandatory respondents as the PRC-
wide rate. See also, Memorandum to the File, ``Large Residential 
Washers from the People's Republic of China: Calculation of the 
Final Margin for the PRC-Wide Entity'' dated December 8, 2016.

Republic of Vietnam: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value, 79 FR 31092-93 (May 30, 2014); and Notice of Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Small 
Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe 
from Romania, 65 FR 39125, 39127 (June 23, 2000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Critical Circumstances

    In the Preliminary Determination,\10\ we found that critical 
circumstances did not exist for entries of subject merchandise from LG, 
but did exist for entries of subject merchandise from Samsung and the 
PRC-wide entity. Based on an analysis of updated shipment data provided 
by LG and Samsung (i.e., including July 2016 data), as is our practice, 
we continue to find that critical circumstances do not exist with 
respect to LG, and for this final determination, we also find that 
critical circumstances do not exist with respect to Samsung and the 
PRC-wide entity. For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum.\11\

``Final Critical Circumstances Analysis,'' dated December 8, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    As noted above, the Department has found that critical 
circumstances do not longer exist with respect to imports of the 
subject merchandise from Samsung or the PRC-wide entity. Accordingly, 
for Samsung and the PRC-wide entity, in accordance with section 
735(c)(3) of the Act, we will instruct Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to discontinue the suspension of liquidation, and to liquidate, 
without regard to antidumping duties, subject merchandise exported by 
Samsung and the PRC-wide entity and entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, on or after April 27, 2016, and before July 26, 2016.
    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will 
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all imports of the 
merchandise subject to the investigation from the respondents and the 
PRC-wide entity, that were entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after July 26, 2016, the date of publication of the 
Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register, and require a cash 
deposit as noted below.
    The Department will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 
the amount by which the normal value exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1) 
For the exporter/producer combinations listed in the table above, the 
cash deposit rate is the weighted-average dumping margin listed for 
that combination in the table; (2) for all combinations of PRC 
exporters/producers of merchandise under consideration not listed in 
the table above, the cash deposit rate is the weighted average dumping 
margin listed for the PRC-wide entity in the table above; and (3) for 
all non-PRC exporters of merchandise under consideration not listed in 
the table above, the cash deposit rate is the cash deposit rate 
applicable to the PRC exporter/producer combination that supplied that 
non-PRC exporter. The suspension of liquidation instructions will 
remain in effect until further notice.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose to parties in this proceeding the 
calculations performed for this final determination within five days of 
the date of public announcement of our final determination, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
ITC of our final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because 
the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in 
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its 
final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United 
States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by 
reason of imports of subject merchandise from the PRC no later than 45 
days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that such 
injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all 
securities posted will be refunded or canceled. If the ITC determines 
that such injury does exist, the Department will issue an antidumping 
duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by the 
Department, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject 
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice will serve as a reminder to the parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of propriety information disclosed under APO 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written notification of 
return or 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 sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination in accordance with 
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c).

    Dated: December 8, 2016.

that requires a non-standard driver. Examples include those with a 
pin in the center of the head as a ``center pin reject'' feature to 
prevent standard Allen wrenches or Torx drivers from working.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2)(a) it contains payment system electronics; (b) the payment 
system electronics are enabled (whether or not the payment 
acceptance device has been installed at the time of importation) 
such that, in normal operation,\18\ the unit cannot begin a wash 
cycle without first receiving a signal from a bona fide payment 
acceptance device such as an electronic credit card reader; (c) it 
contains a push button user interface with a maximum of six manually 
selectable wash cycle settings, with no ability of the end user to 
otherwise modify water temperature, water level, or spin speed for a 
selected wash cycle setting; and (d) the console containing the user 
interface is made of steel and is assembled with security fasteners.
