Diffusion-Annealed, Nickel-Plated Flat-Rolled Steel Products From Japan: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2015-2016, 57715-57717 [2017-26380]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 234 / Thursday, December 7, 2017 / Notices analysis required by the Court and the specific facts of this case.6 On July 7, 2016, the CIT again remanded the Department’s selection of the Philippines as a surrogate country.7 Per the Court’s instructions, the Department reconsidered its surrogate country selection and, under protest, selected Ukraine as the primary surrogate country.8 The calculations performed with the new surrogate values resulted in a weighted-average dumping margin of $2.19 per kilogram for Xinboda. Since the Department recalculated a margin for Xinboda with a new surrogate country and new surrogate values, we updated Golden Bird’s separate AFA rate to reflect Xinboda’s highest-transaction specific margin using the new surrogate values. Accordingly, Golden Bird was assigned an updated AFA rate of $2.76 per kilogram. On September 19, 2017, the CIT sustained the Department’s Second Remand Results with respect to the eighteenth administrative review of the AD order on fresh garlic from China.9 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,10 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,11 the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the 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 September 19, 2017, final judgment sustaining the Second Remand Results constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in harmony with the Department’s Final Results.12 This notice is published in fulfillment of the Timken publication requirements. 6 Id. at 6–11.

Based on the Second Remand Results, as affirmed by the CIT, the revised dumping margin for Xinboda, from November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, is $2.19 per kilogram. The separate AFA rate for Golden Bird from November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, is $2.76 per kilogram. Because the CIT’s ruling was not appealed, it represents a final and conclusive court decision, and accordingly the Department will instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise based on the revised dumping margins summarized above. (NSSMC). The period of review (POR) is May 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016. As a result of our analysis of the comments and information received, these final results differ from the preliminary results of review. For the final weightedaverage dumping margin, see the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section, below.

Final Results of the Review The final weighted-average dumping margins are as follows for the period May 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016: Producer or exporter Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd ................ Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) 1.59 Disclosure We will disclose the calculations performed to parties in this proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Duty Assessment The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b). For Toyo Kohan, because its weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the Department has calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates. We calculated importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty rates by aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer’s examined sales and dividing each of these amounts by the total entered value associated with those sales. We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review where an importer-specific assessment is above de minimis. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis. As noted in the ‘‘Final Determinaton of No Shipments’’ section, above, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by NSSMC but exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate.5 We intend to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 5 For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Toyo Kohan will be the rate established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 45.42 percent, the all-others rate established in the antidumping investigation.6 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the period of review. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties did occur and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (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.

Diffusion-Annealed, Nickel-Plated Flat-Rolled Steel Products From 
Japan: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2015-
2016

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On June 6, 2017, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on diffusion-
annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products (nickel-plated, 
flat-rolled steel) from Japan. The review covers two producers/
exporters of the subject merchandise, Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd (Toyo Kohan) 
and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metals Corporation (NSSMC). The period of 
review (POR) is May 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016. As a result of our 
analysis of the comments and information received, these final results 
differ from the preliminary results of review. For the final weighted-
average dumping margin, see the ``Final Results of Review'' section, 
below. Further, we continue to find that NSSMC had no reviewable 
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.

DATES: Applicable December 7, 2017.

adopted by this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products 
included in this order are flat-rolled, cold-reduced steel products, 
regardless of chemistry; whether or not in coils; either plated or 
coated with nickel or nickel-based alloys and subsequently annealed 
(i.e., ``diffusion-annealed''); whether or not painted, varnished or 
coated with plastics or other metallic or nonmetallic substances; and 
less than or equal to 2.0 mm in nominal thickness. For purposes of this 
order, ``nickel-based alloys'' include all nickel alloys with other 
metals in which nickel accounts for at least 80 percent of the alloy by 
volume.
    Imports of merchandise included in the scope of this order are 
classified primarily under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTSUS) subheadings 7212.50.0000 and 7210.90.6000, but may also 
be classified under HTSUS subheadings

convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope 
of this order is dispositive.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that NSSMC 
had no shipments during the POR.\3\ Following publication of the 
Preliminary Results, we received no comments from interested parties 
regarding this determination. As a result, and because the record 
contains no evidence to the contrary, we find that NSSMC made no 
shipments during the POR. Accordingly, consistent with the Department's 
practice, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by 
NSSMC, but exported by other parties without their own rate, at the 
all-others rate.\4\

    The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review pursuant to 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) 
and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
    For Toyo Kohan, because its weighted-average dumping margin is not 
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the Department has 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates. We 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty rates by 
aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's 
examined sales and dividing each of these amounts by the total entered 
value associated with those sales. We will instruct CBP to assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review 
where an importer-specific assessment is above de minimis. Pursuant to 
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard 
to antidumping duties any entries for which the importer-specific 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
    As noted in the ``Final Determinaton of No Shipments'' section, 
above, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing 
entries of merchandise produced by NSSMC but exported by other parties, 
at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-
others rate.\5\ We intend to issue assessment instructions directly to 
CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of 
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Toyo Kohan will be the rate 
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 
administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, 
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company specific rate 
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; 
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior 
review, or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently 
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of the 
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 45.42 percent, the all-
others rate established in the antidumping investigation.\6\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during the period of review. Failure to comply with 
this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties did occur and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (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

[[Page 57717]]

notification of the return/destruction of APO materials, or conversion 
to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply 
with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

    Dated: December 1, 2017.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
