SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is a renewal of a generic
clearance for the collection of routine
information requested of respondents in
challenges and competitions that the
Department of Commerce posts on the
General Service Administration (GSA)’s
Challenge.gov website since passage of
the America COMPETES Act of 2011. In
order for DOC to quickly and effectively
launch competitions on a continual
basis, DOC seeks generic clearance to
collect information for these challenges
and competitions, which will generally
include first name, last name, email,
city, state and when applicable other
demographic information. It can also
include other information necessary to
evaluate submissions and understand
their impact related to the general goals
of the competition. Upon entry or
during the judging process, applicants
under the age of 18 may be asked to
confirm parental consent, requiring
students under 18 to have a parent’s
signature on a parental consent form
provided by the DOC in order to qualify
for the contest. For certain challenges
we may also need to collect data such
as types of data sets used in the
solution, types of software tools used in
the solution, and information regarding
uses of proprietary software (i.e.,
licenses or use agreements). Information
obtained from participants will be used
by the program managers (challenge
manager), technical reviewers, and other
agency officials (such agency counsels.
In 2011, Federal agencies including
DOC were given prize authority for
administering challenges and
competitions. Section 105(a) of the
America Competes Act, adds Section 24
to the Stevenson-Wydler Technology
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:34 Mar 23, 2020
Jkt 250001
Innovation Act of 1980 (15 U.S.C. 3701
et seq.) that addresses provisions for
challenges and competitions with prizes
conducted by Federal agencies.
Challenges and competitions enable
DOC to tap into the expertise and
creativity of the public in new ways.
DOC evaluates submissions and
typically awarded monetary or nonmonetary prizes to winning entries.
DOC may sponsor challenges and
competitions in a wide variety of areas
to increase public participation and
solicit new ideas on a wide array of
topics important to the agencies
mission. DOC’s goal is to engage a
broader number of stakeholders who are
inspired to work on some of our most
pressing issues.
The information collected will be
used to understand whether the
participant has met the technical
requirements for the challenge, assist in
the technical review and judging of the
solutions that are provided, and assess
how the competition was administered.
Information may be collected during the
competition or after its completion.
This clearance applies to challenges
posted on Challenge.gov, which uses a
common platform for the solicitation of
challenges from the public. Each agency
designs the criteria for its solicitations
based on the goals of the challenge and
the specific needs of the agency. There
is no standard submission format for
solution providers to follow, and there
is no set schedule for the issuance of
challenges; they are developed and
issued on an ‘‘as needed’’ basis in
response to issues the federal agency
wishes to solve.
II. Method of Collection
The primary method of collection will
be the internet (electronically). Some
supporting documents may be emailed,
mailed, or collected in person.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0690–0031.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.
For Prosperity, SYSCO, and Yieh
Phui/Synn, we calculated importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).4 For entries
of subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Prosperity, SYSCO, or Yieh
Phui/Synn for which the producer 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.
The final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.5
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of
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
listed above will be equal to the

administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior completed segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recent period; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the producer has been covered in a prior
complete segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recent
period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other manufacturers or exporters
will continue to be 3.66 percent,6 the
all-others rate from the Amended Final
Determination. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
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 Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply

Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain
Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from Taiwan, 2017-2018,'' dated
concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain
changes to the preliminary weighted-average margin calculations for
Prosperity, SYSCO, and Yieh Phui/Synn. For detailed information, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Administrative Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the respondents for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30,
2018:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd......................... 3.48
Sheng Yu Steel Co. Ltd...................................... 6.84
Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. and Synn Industrial Co., Ltd. 0.51
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
For Prosperity, SYSCO, and Yieh Phui/Synn, we calculated importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\4\ For entries of subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Prosperity, SYSCO, or Yieh Phui/Synn for which the producer
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In these final 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 Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of 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 listed above will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the
final results of this
[[Page 16615]]
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed
segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the original investigation, but the producer has been covered in a
prior complete segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 3.66 percent,\6\ the
all-others rate from the Amended Final Determination. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final 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 Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: March 10, 2020.
