SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on drawn
stainless steel sinks (drawn sinks) from
the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order
include drawn stainless steel sinks.
Imports of subject merchandise are
currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.1
Methodology
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
AGENCY:
The period of review (POR) is April 1,
2015, through March 31, 2016. The
review covers two mandatory
respondents, Guangdong Dongyuan
Kitchenware Industrial Co., Ltd.
(Dongyuan) and Guangdong Yingao
Kitchen Utensils Co. Ltd (Yingao). We
preliminarily determine that sales of
subject merchandise by both
respondents have been made at prices
below normal value (NV). We also
preliminarily grant separate rates to ten
companies, which demonstrated
eligibility for separate rate status, but
were not selected for individual
examination. Finally, we preliminarily
find that New Shichu Import and Export
Company Limited (New Sichu) made no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR. We invite interested
parties to comment on these preliminary
results.
DATES: Effective May 5, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For the mandatory
respondents Dongyuan and Yingao,
export price and constructed export
price were calculated in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. Because the
PRC is a non-market economy (NME)
within the meaning of section 771(18) of
the Act, NV was calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act.

Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that
information placed on the record by the
mandatory respondents, as well as by
the following ten companies which
were not selected for individual
examination, demonstrated eligibility
for separate rate status: Feidong Import
and Export Co., Ltd.; Ningbo Afa
Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd.; Xinhe
Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd.;
KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc.;
Jiangmen Hongmao Trading Co., Ltd.;
Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise
Ltd.; Foshan Zhaoshun Trade Co., Ltd.;
Zhuhai KOHLER Kitchen & Bathroom
Products Co., Ltd.; B&R Industries
Limited; and Zhongshan Superte
Kitchenware Co., Ltd.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
On July 5, 2016, New Shichu
submitted a timely-filed certification
that they had no exports, sales, or
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR.2 Additionally, our inquiry to
CBP did not identify any POR entries of
New Shichu’s subject merchandise.
Based on the foregoing, the Department
preliminarily determines that New
Shichu did not have any reviewable
transactions during the POR. For
additional information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Consistent with our practice in NME
cases, the Department is not rescinding
this administrative review for New
Shichu, but intends to complete the

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.8 The Department intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of the final results of this
review.
For each individually-examined
respondent in this review, if we
continue to calculate a weighted-average
dumping margin that is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in
the final results, we will calculate
importer- (or customer-) specific perunit duty assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s (or
customer’s) examined sales to the total
sales quantity associated with those
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).9 The Department will
also calculate (estimated) ad valorem
importer-specific assessment rates with
which to assess whether the per-unit
assessment rate is de minimis. We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review when the importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is not zero or de minimis. Where
either the respondent’s ad valorem
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importer-(or

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For the respondents that were not
selected for individual examination in
this administrative review and qualified
for a separate rate, the assessment rate
will be equal to the average of the
weighted-average dumping margins
assigned to Dongyuan and Yingao in the
final results of this review.11
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by
the companies individually examined
during this review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. In addition, if we
continue to find that New Shichu had
no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries of
subject merchandise from New Shichu
will be liquidated at the PRC-wide
rate.12
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the companies listed above that have a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that rate established in the final
results of this review (except, if the rate
is zero or de minimis, then a cash
deposit rate of zero will be established
for that company); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate for
the PRC-wide entity, which is 76.45
percent; and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These

This notice also serves as a

their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping and/
or countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries

comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On April 10, 2017, based on a timely
request for review by M&B Metal
Products Company, Inc. (the
petitioner),1 the Department published
in the Federal Register a notice of
initiation of an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on steel
wire garment hangers from Vietnam
covering the period February 1, 2016,
through January 31, 2017.2 The review
covers 66 companies.3 On April 24,
2017, the petitioner withdrew its
request for an administrative review on
all 66 companies listed in the Initiation
Notice.4 No other party requested a
review of these exporters or any other
exporters of subject merchandise.
1 See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce from
the petitioner, ‘‘Steel Wire Garment Hangers from
Vietnam: Request for Fourth Administrative
Review,’’ dated February 17, 2017 (Request for
Review).
2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 82 FR
17188 dated April 10, 2017 (Initiation Notice). In
the Initiation Notice, the Department inadvertently
listed one company, Nghia Phuong Nam Production
Company, as Nghia Phoung Nam Production
Company. The correct company name for which a
review was requested is Nghia Phuong Nam
Production Company. See also Request for Review
at Attachment 1.

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. In
this case, the petitioner timely withdrew
its request by the 90-day deadline, and
no other party requested an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order. As a result,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we
are rescinding the administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on steel
wire garment hangers from Vietnam for
the period February 1, 2016, through
January 31, 2017, in its entirety.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Because the
Department is rescinding this
administrative review in its entirety, the
entries to which this administrative
review pertained shall be assessed
antidumping duties at rates equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, if appropriate.
Notifications
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3),
which continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to
judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the

Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2015-2016
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on drawn stainless
steel sinks (drawn sinks) from the People's Republic of China (PRC).
The period of review (POR) is April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2016.
The review covers two mandatory respondents, Guangdong Dongyuan
Kitchenware Industrial Co., Ltd. (Dongyuan) and Guangdong Yingao
Kitchen Utensils Co. Ltd (Yingao). We preliminarily determine that
sales of subject merchandise by both respondents have been made at
prices below normal value (NV). We also preliminarily grant separate
rates to ten companies, which demonstrated eligibility for separate
rate status, but were not selected for individual examination. Finally,
we preliminarily find that New Shichu Import and Export Company Limited
(New Sichu) made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We
invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective May 5, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order include drawn stainless steel
sinks. Imports of subject merchandise are currently classified under
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description

Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks

hereby adopted by this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For the
mandatory respondents Dongyuan and Yingao, export price and constructed
export price were calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Because the PRC is a non-market economy (NME) within the meaning of
section 771(18) of the Act, NV was calculated in accordance with
section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to

in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is provided as an appendix to
this notice.
Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that information placed on the record by
the mandatory respondents, as well as by the following ten companies
which were not selected for individual examination, demonstrated
eligibility for separate rate status: Feidong Import and Export Co.,
Ltd.; Ningbo Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd.; Xinhe Stainless Steel
Products Co., Ltd.; KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc.; Jiangmen
Hongmao Trading Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd.;
Foshan Zhaoshun Trade Co., Ltd.; Zhuhai KOHLER Kitchen & Bathroom
Products Co., Ltd.; B&R Industries Limited; and Zhongshan Superte
Kitchenware Co., Ltd.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
On July 5, 2016, New Shichu submitted a timely-filed certification
that they had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the POR.\2\ Additionally, our inquiry to CBP did not identify
any POR entries of New Shichu's subject merchandise. Based on the
foregoing, the Department preliminarily determines that New Shichu did
not have any reviewable transactions during the POR. For additional
information regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See letter from New Shichu, ``Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks
from the People's Republic of China Separate Rate Certification and
Provisional No Sales Certification,'' dated July 5, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with our practice in NME cases, the Department is not
rescinding this administrative review for New Shichu, but intends to
complete the
[[Page 21193]]
review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final
results of the review.\3\

this administrative review. We preliminarily assigned this company a
rate which is the average of the weighted-average dumping margins
assigned to Dongyuan and Yingao. See the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless otherwise extended, the Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative review, which will include the
results of its analysis of issues raised in the case briefs, within 120
days of publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\8\ The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of the
final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For each individually-examined respondent in this review, if we
continue to calculate a weighted-average dumping margin that is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results,
we will calculate importer- (or customer-) specific per-unit duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer's (or customer's) examined sales to the
total sales quantity associated with those sales, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).\9\ The Department will also calculate (estimated) ad
valorem importer-specific assessment rates with which to assess whether
the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis. We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate calculated
in the final results of this review is not zero or de minimis. Where
either the respondent's ad valorem weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importer-(or customer-) specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,\10\ we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the respondents that were not selected for individual
examination in this administrative review and qualified for a separate
rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the average of the weighted-
average dumping margins assigned to Dongyuan and Yingao in the final
results of this review.\11\

of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 80 FR 26227, 26228 (May 7, 2015); unchanged in Drawn

Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012-2014, 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by the companies individually examined during this review,
the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-
wide rate. In addition, if we continue to find that New Shichu had no
shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries of subject
merchandise from New Shichu will be liquidated at the PRC-wide
rate.\12\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies
listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
that rate established in the final results of this review (except, if
the rate is zero or de minimis, then a cash deposit rate of zero will
be established for that company); (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters that received a separate rate in a
prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the PRC-wide
entity, which is 76.45 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
[[Page 21194]]
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.
Dated: May 1, 2017.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
