Scope of the Investigations
The products covered by these
investigations are forged steel fluid end
blocks (fluid end blocks), whether in finished
or unfinished form, and which are typically
used in the manufacture or service of
hydraulic pumps.
The term ‘‘forged’’ is an industry term used
to describe the grain texture of steel resulting
from the application of localized compressive
force. Illustrative forging standards include,
but are not limited to, American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications
A668 and A788.
For purposes of these investigations, the
term ‘‘steel’’ denotes metal containing the
following chemical elements, by weight: (i)
Iron greater than or equal to 60 percent; (ii)
nickel less than or equal to 8.5 percent; (iii)
copper less than or equal to 6 percent; (iv)
chromium greater than or equal to 0.4
percent, but less than or equal to 20 percent;
and (v) molybdenum greater than or equal to
0.15 percent, but less than or equal to 3
percent. Illustrative steel standards include,
but are not limited to, American Iron and
Steel Institute (AISI) or Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades 4130,
4135, 4140, 4320, 4330, 4340, 8630, 15–5,
17–4, F6NM, F22, F60, and XM25, as well as
modified varieties of these grades.
The products covered by these
investigations are: (1) Cut-to-length fluid end
blocks with an actual height (measured from
its highest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to
40 inches (1,016.0 mm), an actual width
(measured from its widest point) of 8 inches
(203.2 mm) to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm), and
an actual length (measured from its longest
point) of 11 inches (279.4 mm) to 75 inches
(1,905.0 mm); and (2) strings of fluid end
blocks with an actual height (measured from
its highest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to
40 inches (1,016.0 mm), an actual width
(measured from its widest point) of 8 inches
(203.2 mm) to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm), and
an actual length (measured from its longest
point) up to 360 inches (9,144.0 mm).
The products included in the scope of
these investigations have a tensile strength of
at least 70 KSI (measured in accordance with
ASTM A370) and a hardness of at least 140
HBW (measured in accordance with ASTM
E10).
A fluid end block may be imported in
finished condition (i.e., ready for
incorporation into a pump fluid end
assembly without further finishing
operations) or unfinished condition (i.e.,
forged but still requiring one or more
finishing operations before it is ready for
incorporation into a pump fluid end
assembly). Such finishing operations may

include: (1) Heat treating; (2) milling one or
more flat surfaces; (3) contour machining to
custom shapes or dimensions; (4) drilling or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2019, Commerce published
in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on certain cold-rolled steel flat products
from China.1 On July 31, 2019,
Commerce received a timely request for

California Steel Industries, Inc., Nucor

(collectively, the petitioners) and Mitsui

& Co. (U.S.A) Inc. (Mitsui) (an interested
party). 2 The petitioners and Mitsui each
filed their request for review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.213(b). No other
interested party requested an
administrative review of any company
for this segment of the proceeding.
On September 9, 2019, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation with respect to the
12 companies.3 On December 4 and 6,
2019, the petitioners and Mitsui timely
withdrew their requests for an
administrative review for all companies
for which each had initially requested a
review.4
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the parties that requested a
review withdraw the request within 90
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review. As noted above, the petitioners
and Mitsui withdrew their requests for
review for all companies by the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested
an administrative review of this order.
Accordingly, Commerce is rescinding
the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain coldrolled steel flat products from China
covering the period January 1, 2018,
through December 31, 2018, in its
entirety.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit
of estimated countervailing duties
required at the time of entry, or

consumption, during the period January

accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the presumption that
reimbursement of the countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled countervailing
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
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(a)(3).
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. This notice is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is conducting the 24th
administrative review of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on fresh
garlic from the People’s Republic of
China (China). The period of review
(POR) for this administrative review is
November 1, 2017 through October 31,
2018. Commerce preliminarily
determines that mandatory respondent,
Shijiazhuang Goodman Trading Co.,
Ltd. (Goodman), sold subject
merchandise to the United States at less
than normal value (NV). We also
preliminarily find that the review
requests made by the Coalition for Fair
Trade in Garlic, and its individual
members (collectively, the CFTG), and
Roots Farm Inc. (Roots Farm) were not
valid, and accordingly have
preliminarily rescinded the review with
respect to nineteen companies,
including the other mandatory
respondent, Zhengzhou Harmoni Spice
Co., Ltd. (Harmoni). We invite
interested parties to comment on these
preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable January 15, 2020.
