proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most

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 POR.
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 doubled antidumping
duties.

and Decision Memorandum, which is
hereby adopted by this notice.2
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
7210.70.6090, 7212.40.1000,
7212.40.5000, 7219.90.0020,
7219.90.0025, 7219.90.0060,

are identical in content.
With regard to NSSMC, we received
no comments or submissions since the
Preliminary Results. Therefore, we
continue to find that, in accordance
with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act,
application of facts otherwise available,
with an adverse inference, is
warranted.3
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties, we made certain changes to the
margin calculations for Toyo Kohan.
Commerce has relied on partial facts
available under section 776(a) and (b) of
the Act. In addition, Commerce finds
that Toyo Kohan failed to cooperate to
the best of its ability and thus it is
applying adverse inferences in selecting
from facts available, pursuant to section
776(b). For a discussion of these
changes, see Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
The final dumping margins are as
follows for the period May 1, 2016,
through April 30, 2017:
Dumping
margin
(percent)
Producer or exporter
Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd .................................................................................................................................................................................
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation ...........................................................................................................................................
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).
Assessment Rates
Commerce 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 Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
For Toyo Kohan, because its
weighted-average dumping margin is
not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), Commerce has calculated an
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rate. 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.
For NSSMC, we will base the
assessment rate for the corresponding
entries on the margin listed above.

Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
For the final results, we changed the
calculation of the countervailable
subsidy rate for Action 6.1.4, Aid on
Investment Program Promoted by Micro
and Small Businesses, based on
additional information provided
regarding the specificity of the program
and no longer find the portion of the
program funded by the Regional
Government of Puglia to be
countervailable.
Methodology
We conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). For each of the subsidy programs
found to be countervailable during the
POR, we find that there is a subsidy, i.e.,
a government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.4 For a full description of the
methodology underlying our

Scope of the Order
The diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products
included in this order are flat-rolled, cold-reduced steel products,

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

facts otherwise available, with an adverse inference, is warranted.\3\

adverse fact available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the
Act, see Preliminary Results at 26956 and accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum at 3-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made certain changes to the margin calculations
for Toyo Kohan. Commerce has relied on partial facts available under
section 776(a) and (b) of the Act. In addition, Commerce finds that
Toyo Kohan failed to cooperate to the best of its ability and thus it
is applying adverse inferences in selecting from facts available,
pursuant to section 776(b). For a discussion of these changes, see
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
The final dumping margins are as follows for the period May 1,
2016, through April 30, 2017:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Producer or exporter margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd......................................... 4.57
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation................... 77.70
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
Assessment Rates
Commerce 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 Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
For Toyo Kohan, because its weighted-average dumping margin is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce has
calculated an importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rate. 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.
For NSSMC, we will base the assessment rate for the corresponding
entries on the margin listed above.
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 and NSSMC will be the
rate established in the final results of this administrative review;
(2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered

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 the period of review. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce'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 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).
