AGENCY:
Background
On April 2, 2018, Commerce
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on R–134A
from China.1 On April 27, and April 30,
2018, Commerce received timely
requests for review from two producers
and/or exporters of the subject
merchandise: T.T. International Co.,
Ltd. (TTI) and Zhejiang Sanmei
Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. (also known as
Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Industry Co.,
Ltd. or ‘‘Zhejiang Sanmei’’) (Sanmei).2

Jkt 244001
Based on these requests, on June 6,
2018, in accordance with section 751(a)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), Commerce published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of
an administrative review covering the
October 7, 2016, through March 31,
2018 POR, with respect to TTI and
Sanmei.3 On August 7 and 21, 2018, TTI
and Sanmei, respectively, timely
withdrew their requests for an
antidumping duty administrative
review, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).4 No other party requested
a review of this order.
Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party who requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. TTI
and Sanmei both timely withdrew their
requests for an administrative review
within the 90-day deadline, and no
other party requested an administrative
review of this order. Therefore, we are
rescinding the administrative review of
antidumping duty order on R–134A
from China covering the period October
7, 2016 through March 31, 2018, in its
entirety.
Assessment
Because Commerce is rescinding this
administrative review in its entirety,
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of R–134A from China. The
entries to which this administrative
review pertains shall be assessed
antidumping duties at rates equal to the
cash deposits 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 in the Federal
Register.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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 antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under an 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

description of the scope, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum,
dated concurrently with and hereby
adopted by this notice.7
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Based on the no-shipments letters
filed by nine companies,8 Commerce
preliminarily determined that these
companies had no shipments during the
POR. For additional information
regarding this determination, including
a list of these companies, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Consistent with our assessment practice
in non-market economy (NME)
administrative reviews, Commerce is
not rescinding this review for these
companies, but intends to complete the
review and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of the review.9
Separate Rates
Commerce preliminarily determined
that information placed on the record by
the three mandatory respondents, as
well as by the 19 other separate rate
applicants, demonstrates that these
companies are entitled to separate rate
status. See Preliminary Results of
Review section below. For additional
information, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
China-Wide Entity
Commerce’s policy regarding
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.10 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity in this
review, the entity is not under review
and the weighted-average dumping

the Preliminary Results of the 2016–2017
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain
Steel Nails from the People’s Republic of China,’’

Decision Memorandum).
8 Although Shanxi Yuci Broad Wire Products Co.,
Ltd. and Certified Products International Inc. each
submitted a no shipments letter, they are not among
the 145 companies initiated on in this review, and
therefore are not subject to this review. Therefore,
we only evaluated the no shipment claims of the
nine companies that submitted no shipments letters
and for which this review was initiated.

margin determined for the China-wide
entity is not subject to change (i.e.,
118.04 percent) as a result of this
review.11 Aside from the companies
discussed above, Commerce considers
all other companies for which a review
was requested 12 to be part of the Chinawide entity. For additional information,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum; see also Appendix I for
a list of companies considered as part of
the China-wide entity.
Sample Rate Calculation
In the Sampling Methodology Notice,
we stated that, in order to calculate a
rate to assign the non-selected
companies when using a sampling
procedure, Commerce will calculate a
‘‘sample rate’’ based upon an average of
the rates for the selected respondents,
weighted by the import share of their
corresponding strata.13 The respondents
selected for individual examination
through the sampling process will
receive their own rates; all companies in
the sample population who were not
selected for individual examination will
receive the sample rate.14 Accordingly,
we have calculated the sample rate by
averaging the rates for the three selected
respondents, weighted by the import
share of their corresponding strata.15
The non-selected companies entitled to
a separate rate have been assigned the
sample rate. For additional information
and a discussion of the issues examined
with regard to the calculation of the
sample rate, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B)
and 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act. Constructed
export prices and export prices have
been calculated in accordance with
section 772 of the Act. Because China is
an NME country within the meaning of
section 771(18) of the Act, NV has been
calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act.

methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.17 Commerce intends to issue

For any individually examined
respondent whose weighted average
dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in

the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales to the total entered value of those
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific ad valorem rate is not zero or
de minimis, Commerce will instruct
CBP to collect the appropriate duties at
the time of liquidation.18 Where either

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
review for shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by sections
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
companies listed above that have a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this review (except, if the rate
is de minimis, then cash deposit rate
will be zero); (2) for previously
examined China and non-China
exporters not listed above that at the
time of entry are eligible for a separate
rate based on a prior completed segment
of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the existing
exporter-specific cash deposit rate; (3)
for all China exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate at the
time of entry, the cash deposit rate will
be that for the China-wide entity (i.e.,
118.04 percent); and (4) for all nonChina exporters of subject merchandise
which at the time of entry are not
eligible for a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable
to the China exporter that supplied that
non-China exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 16, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on nails from China \1\ for the POR, August 1, 2016, through
July 31, 2017.\2\ Commerce initiated a review with respect to 145
companies.\3\ Pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce selected three mandatory
respondents, The Stanley Works (Langfang) Fastening Systems Co., Ltd.
and Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (collectively, Stanley), Dezhou
Hualude Hardware Products Co. Ltd. (Dezhou Hualude), and Shandong
Dinglong Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Shandong Dinglong).\4\ On April 30,
2018, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the preliminary
results by 90 days.\5\ On August 1, 2018, Commerce fully extended the
deadline for issuing the preliminary results to September 4, 2018.\6\

of Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this review are nails from China. For a
full description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum,
dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results of the 2016-2017 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review:
Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China,'' dated
concurrently with this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Based on the no-shipments letters filed by nine companies,\8\
Commerce preliminarily determined that these companies had no shipments
during the POR. For additional information regarding this
determination, including a list of these companies, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. Consistent with our assessment practice in non-
market economy (NME) administrative reviews, Commerce is not rescinding
this review for these companies, but intends to complete the review and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the
review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Although Shanxi Yuci Broad Wire Products Co., Ltd. and
Certified Products International Inc. each submitted a no shipments
letter, they are not among the 145 companies initiated on in this
review, and therefore are not subject to this review. Therefore, we
only evaluated the no shipment claims of the nine companies that
submitted no shipments letters and for which this review was
initiated.
\9\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) and
the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
Commerce preliminarily determined that information placed on the
record by the three mandatory respondents, as well as by the 19 other
separate rate applicants, demonstrates that these companies are
entitled to separate rate status. See Preliminary Results of Review
section below. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
China-Wide Entity
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\10\ Under this policy,
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in
this review, the entity is not under review and the weighted-average
dumping margin determined for the China-wide entity is not subject to
change (i.e., 118.04 percent) as a result of this review.\11\ Aside
from the companies discussed above, Commerce considers all other
companies for which a review was requested \12\ to be part of the
China-wide entity. For additional information, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum; see also Appendix I for a list of companies
considered as part of the China-wide entity.

\12\ See Appendix I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample Rate Calculation
In the Sampling Methodology Notice, we stated that, in order to
calculate a rate to assign the non-selected companies when using a
sampling procedure, Commerce will calculate a ``sample rate'' based
upon an average of the rates for the selected respondents, weighted by
the import share of their corresponding strata.\13\ The respondents
selected for individual examination through the sampling process will
receive their own rates; all companies in the sample population who
were not selected for individual examination will receive the sample
rate.\14\ Accordingly, we have calculated the sample rate by averaging
the rates for the three selected respondents, weighted by the import
share of their corresponding strata.\15\ The non-selected companies
entitled to a separate rate have been assigned the sample rate. For
additional information and a discussion of the issues examined with
regard to the calculation of the sample rate, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.

Antidumping Administrative Review of Certain Steel Nails from the
People's Republic of China: Calculation of the Sample Margin for

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act. Constructed export prices and
export prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772 of
the Act. Because China is an NME country within the meaning of section
771(18) of the Act, NV has been calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
[[Page 45885]]
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 registered users at https://access.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central Records
Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with these preliminary 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).
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than 30
days after the date of publication of these preliminary results, unless
the Secretary alters the time limit. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues
raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than five days after
the deadline date for case briefs.\16\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)
and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this
administrative review are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1)
A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3)
a table of authorities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general
filing requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain
the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of
participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list
of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made,
Commerce intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a time
and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the
date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled
date.
Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of our analysis of all issues
raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal Register, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, unless extended.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.\17\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For any individually examined respondent whose weighted average
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent)
in the final results of this review, Commerce will calculate importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
entered value of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where an importer-specific ad valorem rate is not zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the
time of liquidation.\18\ Where either a respondent's weighted-average
[[Page 45886]]
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies listed above
that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this review (except, if the rate is de minimis, then cash deposit rate
will be zero); (2) for previously examined China and non-China
exporters not listed above that at the time of entry are eligible for a
separate rate based on a prior completed segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-
specific cash deposit rate; (3) for all China exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate
at the time of entry, the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-
wide entity (i.e., 118.04 percent); and (4) for all non-China exporters
of subject merchandise which at the time of entry are not eligible for
a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the China exporter that supplied that non-China exporter. These 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)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This preliminary determination is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: September 4, 2018.
