Firm name
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the West Virginia Economic
Development Authority, grantee of FTZ
240, requesting authority to reorganize
the zone under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ
Board (15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF
is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of zones
and can permit significantly greater
flexibility in the designation of new

subzones or ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites
for operators/users located within a
grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of
the FTZ Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a zone. The
application was submitted pursuant to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally docketed on
February 4, 2021.
FTZ 240 was approved by the FTZ
Board on February 7, 2000 (Board Order
1071, 65 FR 8119, February 17, 2000).
The current zone includes the following
site: Site 1 (317 acres)—Eastern West
Virginia Regional Airport complex, 170
Aviation Way, Martinsburg.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Berkley,
Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson and
Morgan Counties, West Virginia, as
described in the application. If
approved, the grantee would be able to
serve sites throughout the service area
based on companies’ needs for FTZ
designation. The application indicates
that the proposed service area is within
and adjacent to the Front Royal, Virginia
Customs and Border Protection port of
entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone to include
the existing site as a ‘‘magnet’’ site. The
ASF allows for the possible exemption
of one magnet site from the ‘‘sunset’’
time limits that generally apply to sites
under the ASF, and the applicant
proposes that Site 1 be so exempted. No
subzones/usage-driven sites are being
requested at this time.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Christopher Kemp of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
evaluate and analyze the facts and
information presented in the application
and case record and to report findings
and recommendations to the FTZ Board.

Changes From the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, Commerce made no
revisions to the calculations of the rates
assigned to Wor-Biz and the nonexamined separate rate respondents.
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that Dalian Lino F.T.Z. Co.,
Ltd., Dalian Metal I/E Co., Ltd., Dinggin
Hardware (Dalian) Co., Ltd., and
Shijiazhuang Asia Casting Co., Ltd.,
which were not selected for individual
review, demonstrated their eligibility for
separate rates, and we continue to do so
in these final results.
Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate
Respondents
The statute and our regulations do not
address the establishment of a rate to be
assigned to respondents not selected for
individual examination when we limit
our examination of companies subject to
the administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act.
Generally, we look to section 735(c)(5)
of the Act, which provides instructions
for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when
calculating the rate for respondents not
individually examined in an
administrative review. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated
weighted average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero and de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’ Accordingly,
Commerce’s usual practice in
determining the rate for separate rate
respondents not selected for individual
examination, has been to average the
weighted-average dumping margins for
the selected companies, excluding rates
that are zero, de minimis, or based
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
8763
entirely on facts available.7 However,
when the weighted-average dumping
margins established for all individually
investigated respondents are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on adverse
facts available (AFA), section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act permits
Commerce to ‘‘use any reasonable
method to establish the estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers
not individually investigated, including
averaging the estimated weighted
average dumping margins determined
for the exporters and producers
individually investigated.’’
For the final results of this review,
Wor-Biz is the only individually
examined respondent that received a
weighted-average dumping margin that
is neither de minimis nor based entirely
on AFA. Therefore, we have assigned
Wor-Biz’s margin to all eligible nonselected separate rate respondents.
The China-Wide Entity
Commerce considers all companies
for which a review was requested and
which did not demonstrate separate rate
eligibility to be part of the China-wide
entity. For the final results of this
administrative review, we consider six
companies to be part of the China-wide
entity: Golden Orange International
Ltd., Hebei Metals & Engineering
Products Trading Co., Ltd., Qinshui
Shunshida Casting Co., Ltd., Richang
Qiaoshan Trade Co., Ltd., Shanxi
Zhongrui Tianyue Trading Co., Ltd., and
Yangcheng Country Huawant Universal.
Final Results of Administrative Review
For the companies subject to this
administrative review, including the
companies that established their
eligibility for a separate rate, Commerce
determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
period February 20, 2018, through July
31, 2019:
Producers/exporters
Wor-Biz Industrial Product Co., Ltd.

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to
the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection
with a final results of review within five
days of the date of publication of the
notice of final results in the Federal
Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, here, Commerce
made no adjustments to the margin
calculation methodology used in the
Preliminary Results, therefore there are
no calculations to disclose for the final
results.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
has determined, 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
administrative review. Consistent with
its recent notice,8 Commerce intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales database submitted by
Wor-Biz during this review, and for the
companies that did not qualify for a
separate rate in this review, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the China-wide rate (i.e.,
360.30 percent).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
companies listed above which have a

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this review; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters that received a
separate rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that for the China-wide entity; 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 that supplied that nonChinese 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 POR. 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
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return or 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 sanctionable
violation.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of these issues is in the
appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum
are identical in content.
Changes From the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, Commerce made no
revisions to the calculations of the rates assigned to Wor-Biz and the
non-examined separate rate respondents.
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that Dalian Lino F.T.Z.
Co., Ltd., Dalian Metal I/E Co., Ltd., Dinggin Hardware (Dalian) Co.,
Ltd., and Shijiazhuang Asia Casting Co., Ltd., which were not selected
for individual review, demonstrated their eligibility for separate
rates, and we continue to do so in these final results.
Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents
The statute and our regulations do not address the establishment of
a rate to be assigned to respondents not selected for individual
examination when we limit our examination of companies subject to the
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act.
Generally, we look to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides
instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation,
for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents not individually
examined in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the
Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted
average of the estimated weighted average dumping margins established
for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any
zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on
the basis of facts available{time} .'' Accordingly, Commerce's usual
practice in determining the rate for separate rate respondents not
selected for individual examination, has been to average the weighted-
average dumping margins for the selected companies, excluding rates
that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.\7\
However, when the weighted-average dumping margins established for all
individually investigated respondents are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on adverse facts available (AFA), section 735(c)(5)(B) of the
Act permits Commerce to ``use any reasonable method to establish the
estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually
investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average
dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually
investigated.''

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the final results of this review, Wor-Biz is the only
individually examined respondent that received a weighted-average
dumping margin that is neither de minimis nor based entirely on AFA.
Therefore, we have assigned Wor-Biz's margin to all eligible non-
selected separate rate respondents.
The China-Wide Entity
Commerce considers all companies for which a review was requested
and which did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility to be part of
the China-wide entity. For the final results of this administrative
review, we consider six companies to be part of the China-wide entity:
Golden Orange International Ltd., Hebei Metals & Engineering Products
Trading Co., Ltd., Qinshui Shunshida Casting Co., Ltd., Richang
Qiaoshan Trade Co., Ltd., Shanxi Zhongrui Tianyue Trading Co., Ltd.,
and Yangcheng Country Huawant Universal.
Final Results of Administrative Review
For the companies subject to this administrative review, including
the companies that established their eligibility for a separate rate,
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the period February 20, 2018, through July 31, 2019:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with a final results of review
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, here, Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation
methodology used in the Preliminary Results, therefore there are no
calculations to disclose for the final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce has determined, 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 administrative
review. Consistent with its recent notice,\8\ Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Notice of Discontinuation of Policy to Issue Liquidation
Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January
15, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database
submitted by Wor-Biz during this review, and for the companies that did
not qualify for a separate rate in this review, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate (i.e., 360.30
percent).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For companies listed
above which have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters that received a separate rate in a prior segment
of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide
entity; 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 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 POR. 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
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 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 sanctionable violation.
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
