in this proceeding, nor was a hearing
requested.
On October 21, 2019, Commerce
notified the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) that it did not receive
an adequate substantive response from
respondent interested parties.6 As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of this antidumping duty
order.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is ground, pulverized or refined
brown artificial corundum, also known
as brown aluminum oxide or brown
fused alumina, in grit size of 3⁄8 inch or
less. Excluded from the scope of the
order is crude artificial corundum in
which particles with a diameter greater
than 3⁄8 inch constitute at least 50
percent of the total weight of the entire
batch. The scope includes brown
artificial corundum in which particles
with a diameter greater than 3⁄8 inch
constitute less than 50 percent of the
total weight of the batch. The
merchandise under investigation is
currently classifiable under subheadings
2818.10.20.00 and 2818.10.20.90 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
covered by the order is dispositive. For
a complete description of the scope of
the Order, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.7

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this sunset review
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The issues discussed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum
are the likelihood of continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail if this order were
revoked. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and

Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and
752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we
determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on RBAO from
China would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at weighted-average margins up to
135.18 percent.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
Timely notification of the return or
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
We are issuing and publishing the
final results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(c), 752(c),
and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and
Rescission of Review in Part; 2018–

International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on
aluminum extrusions from the People’s
Republic of China (China). The period
of review (POR) is May 1, 2018 through
April 30, 2019. Commerce preliminarily
determines that none of the 52
companies for which an administrative
review was requested, and not
withdrawn, demonstrated eligibility for
a separate rate, and are, therefore, all
part of the China-wide entity. For the
205 companies for which all requests for
administrative review have been timely
withdrawn, we rescind this
administrative review. Interested parties
are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable December 31, 2019.

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
preliminary results of review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in
Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party or parties that
requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the
publication date of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. As
noted above, all requests for an
administrative review were timely
withdrawn for certain companies.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this
administrative review with respect to
205 of the 257 companies named in the
Initiation Notice.7 See Appendix II for a
list of these companies.8
Separate Rates
In the Initiation Notice, we informed
parties of the opportunity to request a
separate rate.9 In proceedings involving
non-market economy (NME) countries,
Commerce begins with a rebuttable
presumption that all companies within
the NME country are subject to
government control, and thus should be
assigned a single weighted-average
dumping margin. It is Commerce’s
policy to assign all exporters of
merchandise subject to an
administrative review involving an
NME country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is
sufficiently independent so as to be
entitled to a separate rate. Companies
that wanted to qualify for separate rate
status in this administrative review
were required to timely file, as
appropriate, a separate rate application
(SRA) or a separate rate certification
(SRC) to demonstrate their eligibility for
a separate rate. SRAs and SRCs were
due to Commerce within 30 calendar
days of the publication of the Initiation
Notice.10 However, because certain
information was corrected in the
Correction Notice,11 Commerce
extended the deadline for submission of
7 See Initiation Notice, 84 FR at 33743–46; see
also Correction Notice, 84 FR at 47248.

SRAs, SRCs, and certifications of no
shipments to September 6, 2019.12
Of the companies for which an
administrative review was requested,
and not withdrawn, none submitted an
SRA, SRC, or certification of no
shipments. Therefore, no company for
which a request for administrative
review remains in place has
demonstrated that it is entitled to a
separate rate. We therefore preliminarily
determine that the following companies
are not eligible for a separate rate in this

China-Wide Entity
We preliminarily find that the 52
companies listed above are part of the
China-wide entity in this administrative
review because they failed to submit an
SRA, SRC, or certification of no
shipments.
Commerce’s policy regarding
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.14 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 the
instant review, and because Commerce
did not self-initiate such a review, the
entity is not under review, and the
entity’s current rate (i.e., 86.01
percent) 15 is not subject to change.
Adjustments for Countervailable
Subsidies
Because no company established
eligibility for an adjustment under
section 777A(f) of the Act for
countervailable domestic subsidies, for
these preliminary results, Commerce
did not make an adjustment pursuant to
section 777A(f) of the Act for
countervailable domestic subsidies for
any companies under review.
Furthermore, because the China-wide
entity is not under review, we made no
adjustment for countervailable export
subsidies for the China-wide entity
pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the
Act.
Disclosure and Public Comment
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the
preliminary results within five days of
the 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 did not calculate weightedaverage dumping margins for any
companies in this review, nor for the
China-wide entity, there is nothing
further to disclose. This satisfies our
regulatory obligation.
Interested parties may submit case
briefs no later than 30 days after the

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised
in the case briefs, may be filed no later
than five days after the case briefs are

argument: (a) A statement of the issue,
(b) a brief summary of the argument,
and (c) a table of authorities.18
Any interested party may request a
hearing within 30 days of publication of
this notice.19 Hearing requests should
contain the following information: (1)
The party’s name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of the issues
to be discussed. Oral presentations at
the hearing will be limited to issues
raised in the case and rebuttal briefs. If
a request for a hearing is made, parties
will be notified of the time and date for
the hearing to be held at the U.S.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of
this review, Commerce will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.23 Commerce intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of the final results
of this review.
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries containing subject merchandise
exported by the China-wide entity at the
China-wide rate. Additionally, if
Commerce determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number will be
liquidated at the China-wide rate.24
For the companies for which this
review is rescinded, antidumping duties
shall be assessed at rates equal to the
cash deposit 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 assessment instructions to CBP
for those companies 15 days after
publication of this notice.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements for estimated antidumping
duties, when imposed, will apply to all
shipments of subject merchandise from
China entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) If
the companies preliminarily determined
to be eligible for a separate rate receive
a separate rate in the final results of this
administrative review, their cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review, as adjusted for domestic and
export subsidies (except that if that rate
is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate
will be zero); (2) for any previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters that are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but that received a separate
rate in the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the

most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (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
of the China-wide entity; (4) for the
China-wide entity, the cash deposit rate
will be 86.01 percent; and (5) for all
non-Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which 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 cash 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 this
review period. 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
We are issuing and publishing notice
of these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).

Aluminum Extrusions From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and
Rescission of Review in Part; 2018-2019
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on aluminum
extrusions from the People's Republic of China (China). The period of
review (POR) is May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019. Commerce
preliminarily determines that none of the 52 companies for which an
administrative review was requested, and not withdrawn, demonstrated
eligibility for a separate rate, and are, therefore, all part of the
China-wide entity. For the 205 companies for which all requests for
administrative review have been timely withdrawn, we rescind this
administrative review. Interested parties are invited to comment on
these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable December 31, 2019.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a
full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary results
of review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party or parties
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
As noted above, all requests for an administrative review were timely
withdrawn for certain companies. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this administrative review with
respect to 205 of the 257 companies named in the Initiation Notice.\7\
See Appendix II for a list of these companies.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Initiation Notice, 84 FR at 33743-46; see also
Correction Notice, 84 FR at 47248.
\8\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum for further details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
In the Initiation Notice, we informed parties of the opportunity to
request a separate rate.\9\ In proceedings involving non-market economy
(NME) countries, Commerce begins with a rebuttable presumption that all
companies within the NME country are subject to government control, and
thus should be assigned a single weighted-average dumping margin. It is
Commerce's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review involving an NME country this single rate unless
an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as
to be entitled to a separate rate. Companies that wanted to qualify for
separate rate status in this administrative review were required to
timely file, as appropriate, a separate rate application (SRA) or a
separate rate certification (SRC) to demonstrate their eligibility for
a separate rate. SRAs and SRCs were due to Commerce within 30 calendar
days of the publication of the Initiation Notice.\10\ However, because
certain information was corrected in the Correction Notice,\11\
Commerce extended the deadline for submission of
[[Page 72296]]
SRAs, SRCs, and certifications of no shipments to September 6,
2019.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Initiation Notice, 84 FR at 33740-41.

\11\ See Correction Notice, 84 FR at 47248.
\12\ See Memorandum, ``2018-2019 Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Aluminum Extrusions from the People's
Republic of China: Correction of Initiation Notice and Deadlines for
Notice of No Sales, Separate Rate Application/Certifications, and
Quantity and Value Questionnaire Responses,'' dated August 5, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of the companies for which an administrative review was requested,
and not withdrawn, none submitted an SRA, SRC, or certification of no
shipments. Therefore, no company for which a request for administrative
review remains in place has demonstrated that it is entitled to a
separate rate. We therefore preliminarily determine that the following
companies are not eligible for a separate rate in this administrative
review: (1) Activa Leisure Inc.; (2) Allied Maker Limited; (3)
Birchwoods (Lin'an) Leisure Products Co., Ltd.; (4) Changzhou Changzhen
Evaporator Co., Ltd.; (5) Changzhou Changzheng Evaporator Co., Ltd.;
(6) Cosco (J.M.) Aluminum Co., Ltd.; (7) Cosco (JM) Aluminum

\13\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 9-11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
We preliminarily find that the 52 companies listed above are part
of the China-wide entity in this administrative review because they
failed to submit an SRA, SRC, or certification of no shipments.
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\14\ 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
the instant review, and because Commerce did not self-initiate such a
review, the entity is not under review, and the entity's current rate
(i.e., 86.01 percent) \15\ is not subject to change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65970 (November 4,
2013).
\15\ See Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of
China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2017-2018, 84 FR 56164, 56165 (October 21, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjustments for Countervailable Subsidies
Because no company established eligibility for an adjustment under
section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable domestic subsidies, for
these preliminary results, Commerce did not make an adjustment pursuant
to section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable domestic subsidies
for any companies under review. Furthermore, because the China-wide
entity is not under review, we made no adjustment for countervailable
export subsidies for the China-wide entity pursuant to section
772(c)(1)(C) of the Act.
Disclosure and Public Comment
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the preliminary results within five days
of the 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 did not
calculate weighted-average dumping margins for any companies in this
review, nor for the China-wide entity, there is nothing further to
disclose. This satisfies our regulatory obligation.
Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice.\16\ Rebuttal briefs,
limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than
five days after the case briefs are filed.\17\ Parties who submit case
or rebuttal briefs in this review are requested to submit with each
argument: (a) A statement of the issue, (b) a brief summary of the
argument, and (c) a table of authorities.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
\18\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of
publication of this notice.\19\ Hearing requests should contain the
following information: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to
be discussed. Oral presentations at the hearing will be limited to
issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a
hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date for the
hearing to be held at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\20\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All submissions, with limited exceptions, must be filed
electronically using ACCESS.\21\ An electronically filed document must
be received successfully in its entirety by Commerce's electronic
records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the due date.
Documents excepted from the electronic submission requirements must be
filed manually (i.e., in paper form) with the APO/Dockets Unit in Room
18022 and stamped with the date and time of receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the
due date.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ See generally 19 CFR 351.303.
\22\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Electronic Filing Procedures; Administrative Protective Order
Procedures, 76 FR 39263 (July 6, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of our analysis of all issues raised in any briefs received, within 120
days of publication of these preliminary results in the
[[Page 72297]]
Federal Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of this review, Commerce will
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\23\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\23\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject
merchandise exported by the China-wide entity at the China-wide rate.
Additionally, if Commerce determines that an exporter under review had
no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number will be liquidated at the
China-wide rate.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\24\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit 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 assessment instructions to
CBP for those companies 15 days after publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties, when imposed, will apply to all shipments of subject
merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) If the companies preliminarily determined to be eligible for a
separate rate receive a separate rate in the final results of this
administrative review, their cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this review, as adjusted for domestic and export subsidies (except that
if that rate is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero);
(2) for any previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese
exporters that are not under review in this segment of the proceeding
but that received a separate rate in the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding; (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 of the China-wide entity; (4) for
the China-wide entity, the cash deposit rate will be 86.01 percent; and
(5) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which 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 cash 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 this review period. 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
We are issuing and publishing notice of these preliminary results
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: December 20, 2019.
