Title: Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Survey. OMB Control Number: 0607–0354. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for Non-Substantive Change to a Currently Approved Information Collection. Number of Respondents: 78,000. Average Hours per Response: 25 minutes. Burden Hours: 32,500. Needs and Uses: Information on work experience, personal income, noncash benefits, current and previous year health insurance coverage, employersponsored insurance take-up, and migration is collected through the ASEC. The income data from the ASEC are used by social planners, economists, government officials, and market researchers to gauge the economic wellbeing of the country as a whole, and selected population groups of interest. This request is to add four questions to the ASEC. The added questions will assist researchers to evaluate the impact of governmental assistance programs on economic well-being, particularly for the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). • If children in the household are reported to have received school meals, a new follow-up question asks: Æ Did your children continue receiving free/reduced price meals through your school or school district if schools were closed during the Coronovirus-COVID–19 pandemic?’’ Given widespread school closings in response to the COVID–19 pandemic, many school districts have shifted to alternative ways to distribute free school meals to children. However, the ability for families to take up these programs likely varies in ways that cannot be uniformly predicted, so adding a followup question about receipt of school meals during school closures helps to improve data quality on the market value of these benefits. • Three new questions regarding stimulus payments are added for all households. Æ During 2020, did you or anyone receive any stimulus payments or payments received from the Department of the Treasury due to the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic? Æ Who was the stimulus payment for? Æ What was the amount of the stimulus payment you received for all covered adults and children in the household? Stimulus payment information will allow researchers to estimate the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:31 Oct 23, 2020 Jkt 253001 amount of such payments received by households. The coronavirus stimulus payments disbursed in 2020 were based on income from 2018 or 2019, making it nearly impossible to model with only the 2020 income. This information will provide accurate data on stimulus payments received to properly estimate after-tax income for the SPM. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: Annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141, and 182; and Title 29, United States Code, Section 2 authorize the Census Bureau to collect this information. This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.

Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined.16 Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, which will include the results of our analysis of all issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register, unless extended, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Assessment Rates Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.17 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- or customer- specific assessment rates for the merchandise subject to this review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of sales.18 We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment rate is above de minimis. Where either the respondent’s weighted14 See 19 CFR 351.303. 19 CFR 351.310(c). 16 See 19 CFR 351.310(d). 17 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 18 See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012). average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries 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.19 Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporter listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing producer/exporter-specific combination rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 285.63 percent; 20 and (4) 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(s) that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act). Export prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772 
of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy within the meaning of

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    On August 28, 2019, Kangtai reported that it had no entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR.\7\ U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) did not have any information to contradict the claim 
of no shipments during the POR.\8\ Therefore, we preliminarily 
determine that Kangtai had no reviewable entries during the POR. 
Consistent with Commerce's practice, we will not rescind the review 
with respect to Kangtai, but will complete the review and issue 
instructions to CBP based on the final results.\9\

    Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative 
review, which will include the results of our analysis of all issues 
raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these 
preliminary results in the Federal Register, unless extended, pursuant 
to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce shall 
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this 
review.\17\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 
days after the date of publication of the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating 
importer- or customer- specific assessment rates for the merchandise 
subject to this review. For any individually examined respondent whose 
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 
percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on 
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for 
the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of sales.\18\ 
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment 
rate is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database 
submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries 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.\19\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporter 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the 
final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de 
minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company); 
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the existing producer/exporter-specific 
combination rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all 
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 285.63 percent; \20\ and (4) 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(s) 
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 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 these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: October 19, 2020.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
