SUMMARY: For the final results of this review, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to apply adverse facts available (AFA) to PT Sunhere Buana International’s (PT Sunhere) exports of uncovered innerspring units (innersprings) from the People’s Republic of China (China).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES Background On November 7, 2017, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of the eighth administrative review of innersprings from China, for the period of review (POR), February 1, 2016, through January 31, 2017.1 We invited parties to submit comments on the Preliminary Results, but we received no comments. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the order is uncovered innerspring units 1 See Uncovered Innerspring Units from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016–2017, 82 FR 51602 (November 7, 2017) and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM) (collectively, Preliminary Results).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results As no parties submitted comments on the Preliminary Results, Commerce has not modified its analysis from that presented in the Preliminary Results, and no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. Further, Commerce has made no changes to the application of AFA to PT Sunhere’s exports of China-origin innersprings.4 As noted in the Preliminary Results, in selecting an AFA rate, Commerce’s practice has been to assign non-cooperative respondents the highest margin determined for any party in the LTFV investigation or in any administrative review; 5 thus, we assigned PT Sunhere’s exports of Chinaorigin innersprings an individual rate of 234.51 percent based on total AFA, which is the highest rate on the record in this proceeding.6 2 Based on a recommendation by CBP, on September 6, 2017, Commerce added HTS 7326.20.0090 to the scope. See Memo to the File, from Kenneth Hawkins, Case Analyst, ‘‘Request from Customs and Border Protection to Update the ACE AD/CVD Case Reference File, Uncovered Innersprings from the People’s Republic of China (A–570–928) and South Africa (A–791–821),’’ dated September 6, 2017. 3 For a full description of the scope of the Order, see PDM at 3–4. 4 PT Sunhere is not a Chinese exporter of subject merchandise. See PDM at 1. As such, we are not treating PT Sunhere as a part of the China-wide entity, but rather have assigned a rate to PT Sunhere as a market economy reseller. 5 See PDM at 6; Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 69546 (December 1, 2006) and accompanying IDM at Comment 1. 6 See Uncovered Innerspring Units from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012– 2013, 79 FR 56338 (September 19, 2014). PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8967 Assessment Rates We have not calculated any assessment (or cash deposit) rates in this administrative review, because we applied AFA to PT Sunhere. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review. 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 China 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 PT Sunhere’s Chinese-origin merchandise, the cash deposit rate will be 234.51 percent); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above 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 Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the Chinawide entity (i.e., 234.51 percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with the final results within five days of its public announcement, or if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce applied AFA to PT Sunhere, there are no calculations to disclose. Notification to Importers This notice also 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 antidumping duties E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM 02MRN1

Ohio. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on February 
23, 2018.
    The applicant indicates that it will be submitting a separate 
application for FTZ designation at the IC facility under FTZ 138. The

components and specific finished products described in the submitted 
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the

    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt IC from customs duty 
payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production. For foreign-status components subject to antidumping/
countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigations/orders, the applicant only 
requests authority to use such components in the company's export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below not subject to AD/CVD orders/investigations, IC 
would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures 
that apply to: Printed duplex insulation facer consisting of paper 
backed with aluminum foil; not printed duplex insulation facer 
consisting of paper backed with aluminum foil; printed triplex 
insulation facer, consisting of paper with aluminum foil on either

CVD orders, or items which would be otherwise subject to suspension of 
liquidation under AD/CVD procedures if they entered U.S. customs 
territory, be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 CFR
