Uncovered Innerspring Units From the

Results of Antidumping Duty

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 7, 2016, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
uncovered innerspring units
(innersprings) from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC). We gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the preliminary results,
and based upon our analysis of the
comments received, our final results
remain unchanged from the preliminary
results. In these final results, we
determine that innersprings are being,
or are likely to be, sold in the United
States at less than fair value. The period
of review (POR) is February 1, 2015,
through January 31, 2016. The final
weighted-average dumping margin is
listed below in the Final Results of
Review section of this notice.
