main goals of the Advisory Board:
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Develop a Campaign to Promote
Multiple Pathways to Career Success.
Companies, workers, parents, and
policymakers have traditionally
assumed that a university degree is the
best, or only, path to a middle-class
career. Employers and job seekers
should be aware of multiple career
pathways and skill development
opportunities outside of traditional 4year degrees.
• Increase Data Transparency to
Better Match American Workers with
American Jobs. High-quality,
transparent, and timely data can
significantly improve the ability of
employers, students, job seekers,
education providers, and policymakers
to make informed choices about
education and employment—especially
for matching education and training
programs to in-demand jobs and the
skills needed to fill them.
• Modernize Candidate Recruitment
and Training Practices. Employers often
struggle to fill job vacancies, yet their
hiring practices may actually reduce the
pool of qualified job applicants. To
acquire a talented workforce, employers
must better identify the skills needed for
specific jobs and communicate those
needs to education providers, job
seekers, and students.
• Measure and Encourage Employerled Training Investments. The size,
scope, and impacts of education and
skills training investments are still not
fully understood. There is a lack of
consistent data on company balance
sheets and in federal statistics. Business
and policy makers need to know how
much is spent on training, the types of
workers receiving training, and the longterm value of the money and time spent
in classroom and on-the-job training.

components noted below, Andersen
Regional would be able to choose the
duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to windows for

Decision Not in Harmony With the

Administrative Review and Notice of

SUMMARY: On October 18, 2019, the
United States Court of International
Trade (CIT) entered final judgment
sustaining the final results of
redetermination pertaining to the sixth
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain steel
nails (steel nails) from the People’s
Republic of China (China). The
Department of Commerce (Commerce) is
notifying the public that the final
judgment in this case is not in harmony

covering the period of review (POR)
August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014,
and that Commerce is amending the
final results with respect to the
dumping margin assigned to Shandong
Oriental Cherry Hardware Group Co.,
Ltd. (Oriental Cherry).

Cherry and its affiliated companies as a
single entity.3 Commerce also
determined that Oriental Cherry’s
responses were deficient, and that the
use of facts otherwise available,
pursuant to section 776(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), was
necessary.4 As a result, Commerce
determined that Oriental Cherry was not
eligible for separate rate status and
treated it as part of the China-wide
entity, subject to a dumping margin of
118.04 percent.
On January 2, 2018, the CIT remanded
the Final Results with respect to our
decision to deny Oriental Cherry a
separate rate.5 The CIT remanded the
Final Results to Commerce to reevaluate
the evidence on the record regarding
Oriental Cherry’s eligibility for a
separate rate, and to assign a separate
rate to Oriental Cherry, if appropriate.
On April 20, 2018, Commerce issued
the First Remand Results.6 On remand,
Commerce determined that Oriental
Cherry was eligible for a separate rate,
because the record supported the
finding that Oriental Cherry
demonstrated an absence of de jure and
de facto government control.7
Commerce did not, however, determine
a rate using any of the production and
sales information that Oriental Cherry
had placed on the record in response to
its questionnaires. Rather, Commerce
further explained its findings from the
Final Results, continuing to find that
such information was missing from the
record and that Oriental Cherry did not
cooperate to the best of its ability to
provide such information, and, thus,
assigned Oriental Cherry the rate of
118.04 percent as the total adverse facts
available (AFA) rate pursuant to section
776(b) of the Act, i.e., the highest rate
on the record of this proceeding.8
On June 12, 2019, the CIT remanded
the First Remand Results. The CIT held
that Commerce’s application of total
Duty Administrative Review; 2013–2014, 81 FR
14092 (March 16, 2016) (Final Results), and
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum
(IDM), amended by Certain Steel Nails from the
People’s Republic of China: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013–
2014, 81 FR 19136 (April 4, 2016).
