SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain steel
nails from Taiwan. On September 10,
2018, based on timely requests for
review, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review on certain steel
nails from Taiwan.1 This review covers
PT 2 3 and Unicatch, and two additional
companies not selected for individual
examination. Commerce exercised its
discretion to toll all deadlines affected
by the partial federal government
closure from December 22, 2018 through
the resumption of operations on January
29, 2019.4 The tolled deadline for the
preliminary results of this review fell on
May 13, 2019. On March 4, 2018, we
extended the deadline for the
1 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 83 FR
45596 (September 10, 2018).
2 Commerce has preliminarily determined that LC
and Integral Building Products Inc. (Integral) are
affiliated pursuant to section 771(33) of the Act and,
further, that these companies comprise a single
entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f). For a
complete discussion of this determination, see
Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review: Certain Steel Nails from
Taiwan; 2017–2018,’’ dated concurrently with, and
hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum).
3 Commerce determined that Pro-Team and PT
Enterprise comprise a single entity in a prior
segment of the proceeding, and we find no new
information in this segment that contradicts that
finding. See Certain Steel Nails from Taiwan:

Administrative Review and Partial Rescission of

preliminarily continued to treat PT Enterprise and
Pro-Team as a single entity.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure and Public Comment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ This rate is based on the weighted-average of the margins
calculated for those companies selected for individual review. See
Memorandum, ``Calculation of the Review-Specific Weighted-Average
Rate for the Preliminary Results,'' dated concurrently with this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations used in its analysis
to parties in this review within five days of the date of publication
of this notice.\9\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested
parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after the
publication of these preliminary results, and rebuttal comments within
five days after the time limit for filing case briefs, unless Commerce
extends those deadlines.\10\ Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal
briefs are requested to submit with the argument: (1) A statement of
the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of
authorities.\11\ Rebuttal briefs must be limited to issues raised in
the case briefs.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c) and (d).
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance within 30 days of the date of
publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) The party's
name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and
(3) a list of issues parties intend to discuss. Issues raised in the
hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case and
rebuttal briefs. 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 date and time to be
determined.\13\ Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\14\ Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of this review. For any
individually examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin
is above de minimis (i.e., is 0.50 percent or more) 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 and the total
entered value of sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\15\ We
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment
rate calculated in the final results of this review is above de
minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin
is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\15\ In these preliminary 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries
at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\16\ The final results of this
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by this review and for future deposits
of estimated duties, where applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be the rate established in the final results of this
review (except, if the ad valorem rate is de minimis, then the cash
deposit rate will be zero); (2) for other manufacturers and exporters
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which that
manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-
fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 2.16 percent, the all-others rate in
the LTFV investigation.\17\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Certain Steel Nails from Taiwan: Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 80 FR 28959 (May 20, 2015); see also
Certain Steel Nails from Taiwan: Notice of Court Decision Not in
Harmony with Final Determination in Less Than Fair Value
Investigation and Notice of Amended Final Determination, 82 FR 55090
(November 20, 2017), wherein the All-Others rate was revised
pursuant to litigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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
[[Page 48118]]
result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: September 5, 2019.
