Scope of the Order The product covered by this order is common alloy sheet from China. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the Appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order On January 30, 2019, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that imports of common alloy sheet are materially injuring a U.S. industry.3 Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are publishing this AD order. As a result of the ITC’s final determination, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 22, 2018, the date on which Commerce published its preliminary antidumping duty determination in the Federal Register,4 and before November 4, 2018, the 1 See Antidumping Duty Investigation of Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from the People’s Republic of China: Affirmative Final Determination of Sales at Less-Than-Fair Value, 83 FR 57421 (November 15, 2018) (Final Determination). 2 See ITC Notification Letter to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, referencing ITC Investigation Nos. 701–TA–591 and 731–TA–1399, dated January 30, 2019 (ITC Notification). 3 See ITC Notification; see also Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from China (Inv.

E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM 08FEN1 2814 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 27 / Friday, February 8, 2019 / Notices effective date on which Commerce instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act. Section 733(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to a preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. Therefore, entries of subject merchandise from China made on or after November 4, 2018, and prior to the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register are not liable for the assessment of antidumping duties due to Commerce’s discontinuation of the suspension of liquidation. Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will direct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of subject merchandise from China, effective the date of publication of the ITC’s notice of final determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, cash deposits equal to the amounts as indicated below. On or after the date Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request Commerce to extend that four-month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of common alloy sheet from China, we extended the four-month period to six months. Commerce’s preliminary determination was published on June 22, 2018. Therefore, the extended period, beginning on the date of publication of the preliminary determinations, ended on December 18, 2018. Pursuant to section 737(b) of the Act, the collection of cash deposits at the rates listed below will begin on the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of common alloy sheet from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after December 18, 2018, the date on which the provisional measures expired, through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determinations in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 15, 2018, Commerce published its final determination in 
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of common alloy sheet 
from China.\1\ On January 30, 2019, the ITC notified Commerce of its 
final determination, pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that an industry in the United 
States is materially injured within the meaning of section 
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of the LTFV imports of common 
alloy sheet from China.\2\ Further, the ITC determined that critical 
circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of common alloy 
sheet from China.

Sheet from the People's Republic of China: Affirmative Final 
Determination of Sales at Less-Than-Fair Value, 83 FR 57421

    \2\ See ITC Notification Letter to the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, referencing ITC 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-591 and 731-TA-1399, dated January 30, 
2019 (ITC Notification).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by this order is common alloy sheet from China. 
For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the Appendix 
to this notice.

Antidumping Duty Order

    On January 30, 2019, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) 
and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final 
determination in this investigation, in which it found that imports of 
common alloy sheet are materially injuring a U.S. industry.\3\ 
Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are 
publishing this AD order.

    \3\ See ITC Notification; see also Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet 
from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-591 and 731-TA-1399 (Final), USITC 
Publication 4861, December 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of the ITC's final determination, in accordance with 
section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by 
Commerce, antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject 
merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after June 22, 2018, the date on which Commerce 
published its preliminary antidumping duty determination in the Federal 
Register,\4\ and before November 4, 2018, the

[[Page 2814]]

effective date on which Commerce instructed CBP to discontinue the 
suspension of liquidation in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act. 
Section 733(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation 
pursuant to a preliminary determination may not remain in effect for 
more than four months. Therefore, entries of subject merchandise from 
China made on or after November 4, 2018, and prior to the date of 
publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register 
are not liable for the assessment of antidumping duties due to 
Commerce's discontinuation of the suspension of liquidation.

Sheet from the People's Republic of China: Affirmative Preliminary 
Determination of Sales at Less-Than-Fair Value, Preliminary 
Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstance, 83 FR 29088 
(June 22, 2018) (Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 
direct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries 
of subject merchandise from China, effective the date of publication of 
the ITC's notice of final determination in the Federal Register, and to 
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce pursuant to section 
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, cash deposits equal to the amounts as 
indicated below. On or after the date of publication of the ITC's final 
injury determination in the Federal Register, we will instruct CBP to 
require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated 
duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the cash deposit 
rates listed below. These instructions suspending liquidation will 
remain in effect until further notice. The all-others rate applies to 
all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate.

Provisional Measures

    Section 733(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation 
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in 
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a 
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request 
Commerce to extend that four-month period to no more than six months. 
At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion 
of common alloy sheet from China, we extended the four-month period to 
six months. Commerce's preliminary determination was published on June 
22, 2018. Therefore, the extended period, beginning on the date of 
publication of the preliminary determinations, ended on December 18, 
2018. Pursuant to section 737(b) of the Act, the collection of cash 
deposits at the rates listed below will begin on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final injury determination.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to 
liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries 
of common alloy sheet from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption after December 18, 2018, the date on which the 
provisional measures expired, through the day preceding the date of 
publication of the ITC's final injury determinations in the Federal 
Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register.

Appendix

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is aluminum common alloy 
sheet (common alloy sheet), which is a flat-rolled aluminum product 
having a thickness of 6.3 mm or less, but greater than 0.2 mm, in 
coils or cut-to-length, regardless of width. Common alloy sheet 
within the scope of this order includes both not clad aluminum 
sheet, as well as multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet. With respect to 
not clad aluminum sheet, common alloy sheet is manufactured from a 
1XXX-, 3XXX-, or 5XXX-series alloy as designated by the Aluminum 
Association. With respect to multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet, 
common alloy sheet is produced from a 3XXX-series core, to which 
cladding layers are applied to either one or both sides of the core.
    Common alloy sheet may be made to ASTM specification B209-14, 
but can also be made to other specifications. Regardless of 
specification, however, all common alloy sheet meeting the scope 
description is included in the scope. Subject merchandise includes 
common alloy sheet that has been further processed in a third 
country, including but not limited to annealing, tempering, 
painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting, punching, and/or slitting, 
or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the 
merchandise from the scope of the order if performed in the country 
of manufacture of the common alloy sheet.
    Excluded from the scope of this order is aluminum can stock, 
which is suitable for use in the manufacture of aluminum beverage 
cans, lids of such cans, or tabs used to open such cans. Aluminum 
can stock is produced to gauges that range from 0.200 mm to 0.292 
mm, and has an H-19, H-41, H-48, or H-391 temper. In addition, 
aluminum can stock has a lubricant applied to the flat surfaces of 
the can stock to facilitate its movement through machines used in 
the manufacture of beverage cans. Aluminum can stock is properly 
classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS) subheadings 7606.12.3045 and 7606.12.3055.
    Where the nominal and actual measurements vary, a product is 
within the scope if application of either the nominal or actual 
measurement would place it within the scope based on the definitions 
set for the above.
    Common alloy sheet is currently classifiable under HTSUS 
subheadings 7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3090, 7606.12.6000, 
7606.91.3090, 7606.91.6080, 7606.92.3090, and 7606.92.6080. Further, 
merchandise that falls within the scope of this order may also be 
entered into the United States under HTSUS subheadings 7606.11.3030, 
7606.12.3030, 7606.91.3060, 7606.91.6040, 7606.92.3060, 
7606.92.6040, 7607.11.9090. Although the HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the scope of this order is dispositive.
