The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public 33739 (July 15, 2019) (Notice of Initiation); and Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 47242 (September 9, 2019), which contains corrections to certain company names published in the July 15, 2019 Notice of Initiation (collectively, Initiation Notice). 2 See Petitioner and Endura’s Letter, ‘‘Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s Republic of China: Partial Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated October 15, 2019 (Petitioner and Endura Withdrawal Request). 3 See Memoranda, ‘‘Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated January 27, 2020; and ‘‘Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2018,’’ dated February 6, 2020. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews in Response to Operational Adjustments Due to COVID–19,’’ dated April 24, 2020. Commerce’s practice dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Because the 50-day extension would result in the signature date being on a weekend, the deadline moves to the next business day, Monday, July 20, 2020. 5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Intent to Rescind, in Part; 2018,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).

For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary conclusions, including our reliance on adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. As explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce relied on adverse facts available because the Government of China (GOC) and seven of the nine companies that remain under review (i.e., Activa, CRRC, Guangdong Xingfa, Precision Metal, Shenyang Yuanda, Summit, Wenzhou Yongtai) did not act to the best of their ability in responding to Commerce’s requests for information, and consequently, we have drawn an adverse inference, where appropriate, in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.7 For further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. For the other two companies (i.e., Changzhou Tenglong and Dongguan Aoda), we preliminarily assigned a rate based on the average of the most recently determined rates in a prior segment of this proceeding that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.8 For further information, see ‘‘Non-Selected Company Rates’’ in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Intent to Rescind Review, In Part For those companies named in the Initiation Notice for which all review requests have been timely withdrawn,9 we intend to rescind this administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Petition On July 9, 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) received a countervailing duty (CVD) petition concerning imports of certain metal lockers and parts thereof (metal lockers) from the People’s Republic of China (China) filed in proper form on behalf of List Industries, Inc., Lyon LLC, Penco Products, Inc., and Tennsco LLC (collectively, the petitioners), domestic producers of metal lockers.1 The Petition was accompanied by an antidumping duty (AD) petition concerning imports of metal lockers from China.2 On July 13, 2020, Commerce requested supplemental information pertaining to certain aspects of the Petition in separate supplemental questionnaires.3 Further, on July 22, 1 See Petitioners’ Letter, ‘‘Petitions for the Imposition of Antidumping and Countervailing Duties Against Imports of Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated July 9, 2020 (the Petition). 2 Id. 3 See Commerce’s Letters, ‘‘Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China—Petitions for the Imposition of Antidumping and Countervailing Duties: Supplemental Questions,’’ and ‘‘Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof From the People’s Republic of China— Petitioners’ Response to Supplemental PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47353 2020, Commerce held a conversation via telephone with counsel to the petitioners requesting further clarification regarding certain outstanding issues.4 As part of these requests, Commerce asked that the petitioners provide further information regarding the proposed scope to ensure that the scope language in the Petition is an accurate reflection of the products for which the domestic industry is seeking relief. On July 16, 17, and 23, 2020, the petitioners filed responses to Commerce’s supplemental questionnaires, which included revisions to the scope.5 In accordance with section 702(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the petitioners allege that the Government of China (GOC) is providing countervailable subsidies, within the meaning of sections 701 and 771(5) of the Act, to producers of metal lockers in China and that such imports are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the domestic industry producing metal lockers in the United States. Consistent with section 702(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.202(b), for those alleged programs on which we are initiating a CVD investigation, the Petition is supported by information reasonably available to the petitioners supporting their allegations. Commerce finds that the petitioners filed the Petition on behalf of the domestic industry because the petitioners are interested parties as defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act. Commerce also finds that the petitioners demonstrated sufficient industry support with respect to the initiation of the requested CVD investigation.6 Period of Investigation Because the Petition was filed on July 9, 2020, the period of investigation (POI) Questionnaire Regarding Volume III: Countervailing Duty Petition,’’ both dated July 13, 2020. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Telephone Conversation with the Petitioners regarding Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Petitions Covering Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated July 22, 2020. 5 See Petitioners’ Letters, ‘‘Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof From the People’s Republic of China—Petitioners’ Response to Supplemental Questionnaire Regarding Volume I: General Issues,’’ dated July 16, 2020 (First General Issues Supplement), ‘‘Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof From the People’s Republic of China— Petitioners’ Response to Supplemental Questionnaire Regarding Volume III: Countervailing Duty Petition,’’ dated July 17, 2020, and Petitioners’ Letter, ‘‘Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China—Petitioners’ Second Amendment to Volume I Relating to General Issues,’’ dated July 23, 2020 (Second General Issues Supplement). 6 See ‘‘Determination of Industry Support for the Petition’’ section, infra.

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines 
that countervailable subsidies have been provided to producers and 
exporters of aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China 
(China) for the period of review (POR) January 1, 2018 through December 
31, 2018. Interested parties are invited to comment on these 
preliminary results.

DATES: Applicable August 5, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Davina Friedmann, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office VI, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0698.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Commerce published the notice of initiation of this administrative 
review on July 15, 2019, covering 257 companies, based on requests from 
the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee (petitioner) and Endura 
Products Inc. (Endura).\1\ On October 15, 2019, the petitioner and 
Endura withdrew their requests for review for all but the following 
nine companies: (1) Activa International Inc. (Activa); (2) Changzhou 
Tenglong Auto Parts Co. Ltd. (Changzhou Tenglong); (3) CRRC Changzhou 
Auto Parts Co. Ltd. (CRRC); (4) Dongguan Aoda Aluminum Co. Ltd. 
(Dongguan Aoda); (5) Guangdong Xingfa Aluminum Co., Ltd. (Guangdong 
Xingfa); (6) Precision Metal Works Ltd. (Precision Metal); (7) Shenyang 
Yuanda Aluminum Industry Engineering Co. Ltd. (Shenyang Yuanda); (8) 
Summit Heat Sinks Metal Co, Ltd. (Summit); and (9) Wenzhou Yongtai 
Electric Co. Ltd. (Wenzhou Yongtai).\2\ Between January 27, 2020 and 
February 6, 2020, Commerce extended the deadline for the preliminary 
results.\3\ On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in 
administrative reviews by 50 days, thereby extending the deadline for 
these results until July 20, 2020.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 33739 (July 15, 2019) (Notice of 
Initiation); and Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 47242 (September 9, 2019), which 
contains corrections to certain company names published in the July 
15, 2019 Notice of Initiation (collectively, Initiation Notice).
    \2\ See Petitioner and Endura's Letter, ``Aluminum Extrusions 
from the People's Republic of China: Partial Withdrawal of Request 
for Administrative Review,'' dated October 15, 2019 (Petitioner and 
Endura Withdrawal Request).
    \3\ See Memoranda, ``Aluminum Extrusions from the People's 
Republic of China: Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results of 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review,'' dated January 27, 2020; 
and ``Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review; 2018,'' dated February 6, 2020.
    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews in Response to 
Operational Adjustments Due to COVID-19,'' dated April 24, 2020. 
Commerce's practice dictates that where a deadline falls on a 
weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next 
business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next 
Business Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines 
Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 
2005). Because the 50-day extension would result in the signature 
date being on a weekend, the deadline moves to the next business 
day, Monday, July 20, 2020.

    For a complete description of the events that followed the 
initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 
which is dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this 
notice.\5\ A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 
purposes of this review, Commerce preliminarily finds that all programs 
previously countervailed in prior segments of this proceeding, remain 
countervailable--that is, they provide a financial contribution within 
the meaning of sections 771(5)(B)(i) and (D) of the Act, confer a 
benefit within the meaning of section 771(5)(B) of the Act, and are 
specific within the meaning of 771(5A) of the Act.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
preliminary conclusions, including our reliance on adverse facts 
available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. As explained in the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum, Commerce relied on adverse facts available because 
the Government of China (GOC) and seven of the nine companies that 
remain under review (i.e., Activa, CRRC, Guangdong Xingfa, Precision 
Metal, Shenyang Yuanda, Summit, Wenzhou Yongtai) did not act to the 
best of their ability in responding to Commerce's requests for 
information, and consequently, we have drawn an adverse inference, 
where appropriate, in selecting from among the facts otherwise 
available.\7\ For further information, see ``Use of Facts Otherwise 
Available and Adverse Inferences'' in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the other two companies (i.e., Changzhou Tenglong and Dongguan 
Aoda), we preliminarily assigned a rate based on the average of the 
most recently determined rates in a prior segment of this proceeding 
that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.\8\ 
For further information, see ``Non-Selected Company Rates'' in the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 
assigned subsidy rates in the amounts shown above for the producer/
exporters shown above. Upon completion of the administrative review, 
consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered 
by this review. We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 
days after publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also intends 
upon publication of the final results to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts indicated 
above for each company listed on shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication of the final results of this administrative review. 
For all non-reviewed firms, we intend to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-
specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Disclosure

performed in connection with the preliminary results of review within 
five days of its 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, we have assigned 
a net subsidy rate based on total adverse facts available to the seven 
companies for which requests for review were not withdrawn (each failed 
to submit a response to Commerce's quantity and value (Q&V) 
questionnaire), in accordance with section 776 of the Act. For 
information detailing the derivation of the adverse facts available
