nails from the UAE, covering the POR.1
On August 2, 2017, Commerce placed
evidence on the record that the
antidumping duty questionnaire was
undeliverable to Overseas Distribution
Services, Inc., (ODS), the sole
respondent subject to the review, at the
address provided.2 We requested an
alternate address from the petitioner,
but the petitioner was unable to provide
one.3 Although we re-sent the
questionnaire to the original and two
available alternate addresses from other
segments of this proceeding,4 it
continued to be undeliverable.5
Moreover, for two of the failed delivery
attempts, the delivery company stated
the business was closed.
On January 23, 2018, Commerce
exercised its discretion to toll deadlines
for the duration of the closure of the
Federal Government from January 20
through 22, 2018. If the new deadline
falls on a non-business day, in
accordance with Commerce’s practice,
the deadline will become the next
business day. The revised deadline for
the preliminary determination of this
review is now February 5, 2018.6

Rescission of Administrative Review
In instances when a questionnaire is
returned because of an undeliverable
address and the petitioner is unable to
provide an alternative address,
Commerce’s practice is to rescind the
review of the company.7 While

Commerce understands the concerns
raised by the petitioner,8 it would be
futile to conduct a review of a closed
company. Because the questionnaire
was undeliverable with indications that
the business was closed, ODS being the
only respondent under review, and the
petitioner is unable to provide an
alternative address, we are rescinding
the administrative review of certain
steel nails from the UAE for the 2016–
2017 POR.
Assessment
We will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. Because Commerce 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). Commerce intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of this notice.
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 Commerce’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, which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/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 violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

interested parties, we made certain changes to the margin calculations
for Region. For a discussion of these changes, see the ``Margin
Calculations'' section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum. As a
result of these changes, the weighted-average dumping margin also
changed for the company not selected for individual examination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ As we did not have a publicly ranged total U.S. sales value
for Region for the period December 29, 2014, through June 30, 2016,
in accordance with our practice, to calculate a weighted-average
dumping margin for the non-examined company, Tag Fasteners Sdn.
Bhd., the rate applied to this company is a simple average of the
weighted-average dumping margins calculated for Inmax and Region.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Review
The final weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: \4\
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer or exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inmax Sdn. Bhd. and Inmax Industries Sdn. Bhd............... 1.03
Region International Co. Ltd. and Region System Sdn. Bhd.... 1.87
Tag Fasteners Sdn. Bhd...................................... 1.45
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Commerce shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\5\
For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis, we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final results of this
administrative review, if any importer-specific assessment rates
calculated in the final results are above de minimis (i.e., at or above
0.5 percent), Commerce will issue instructions directly to CBP to
assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ In these final results, Commerce 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period
were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), for each respondent we calculated importer (or
customer)-specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the amount of
dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to that importer or customer and
dividing this amount by the total entered value of the sales to that
importer (or customer). Where an importer (or customer)-specific ad
valorem rate is greater than de minimis, and the respondent has
reported reliable entered values, we will apply the assessment rate to
the entered value of the importer's/customer's entries during the
review period.
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

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is,

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
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 and/or countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries during the period of review.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
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 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: February 6, 2018.
