This information was originally collected through The Integrity Profile (TIP) system via three automated forms: FNS– 698 Profile of Integrity Practices and Procedures (PIPP) Report, FNS–699 The Integrity Profile (TIP) Report, and FNS– 700 Vendor Record. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is replacing TIP with an upgraded, web-based system called the Food Delivery Portal (FDP), which uses screens to collect the necessary data. FNS expects that WIC State agencies will start using the upgraded, web-based system in FY 2022. Need and Use of the Information: This is a mandatory collection, and the respondents are WIC State agencies. The WIC State agencies provide information on their vendor training, compliance investigations, routine monitoring, and sanctions, which is reported annually to FNS. These reports will be generated through the new web-based FDP system (originally, they were generated through TIP). WIC State agencies review the reports to track and confirm that the data was reported accurately and to ensure compliance with Federal requirements, while FNS reviews the reports to ensure that WIC State agencies are in compliance with vendor regulations. FNS uses the data for Federal oversight of the WIC Program and to provide information on WIC State agency vendor management and vendor compliance to stakeholders, including Congress, USDA’s Office of the Inspector General, outside auditors, researchers, and the general public.

(BothWell), an exporter of forged steel fittings from the People’s Republic of China (China), did not sell subject merchandise in the United States at prices below normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) May 17, 2018, through October 31, 2019. We also find that 15 companies, including Ningbo Zhongan Forging Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Zhongan), are not eligible for a separate rate and, therefore, are part of the China-wide entity.

See ‘‘Dumping Margin for Non-Individually Examined Companies Granted a Separate Rate’’ below. Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined that Dalian Guangming Pipe Fittings Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Forged Pipe Fittings Co., Ltd.; Lianfa Stainless Steel Pipes & Valves (Qingyun) Co., Ltd.; and Qingdao Bestflow Industrial Co., Ltd. had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.7 We received no arguments identifying information that contradicts this determination. Therefore, we continue to find that these companies had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR and will issue appropriate liquidation instructions that are consistent with our ‘‘automatic assessment’’ clarification for these final results.8 Separate Rate Respondents In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Both-Well and six other companies demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate.9 We received no comments or arguments since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provide a basis for reconsideration of these separate rate determinations. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that the six companies listed in the table under ‘‘ReviewSpecific Rate Applicable to the Following Non-Selected Companies’’ in the ‘‘Final Results of the Review’’ section of this notice are eligible for a separate rate. 5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Forged Steel Fittings from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results Calculation Memorandum for Both-Well,’’ dated concurrently with this notice. 6 Id. 7 See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 16187. 8 See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Assessment Practice Refinement). 9 See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 16187. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Sep 27, 2021 Jkt 253001 Dumping Margin for Non-Individually Examined Companies Granted a Separate Rate In the Preliminary Results,10 because the only participating mandatory respondent (i.e., Both-Well) eligible for a separate rate received a weightedaverage dumping margin of zero percent, we looked for guidance to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, which instructs Commerce to use any ‘‘reasonable method’’ to determine the rate for exporters that are not being individually examined and found to be entitled to a separate rate. Accordingly, in the Preliminary Results, we assigned the calculated weighted-average dumping margin of the sole participating mandatory respondent, Both-Well (i.e., zero percent), as the weighted-average dumping margin for the non-individually examined, separate rate respondents. No parties commented on the methodology for calculating this separate rate. For the final results, as the revisions we made to the margin calculations for Both-Well did not change the weighted-average dumping margin for Both-Well (i.e., zero percent), we continue to find it appropriate to assign the calculated weighted-average dumping margin of the sole participating mandatory respondent, Both-Well (i.e., zero percent), as the weighted-average dumping margin for the non-individually examined, separate rate respondents. The China-Wide Entity In the Preliminary Results, Commerce preliminarily determined that Ningbo Zhongan, a company selected for individual examination, had not established its eligibility for a separate rate.11 Moreover, Commerce preliminarily determined that 14 other companies for which a review was initiated did not establish their eligibility for a separate rate because they failed to provide a separate rate application, a separate rate certification, or a no-shipment certification if they were already eligible for a separate rate.12 As such, we preliminarily determined that Ningbo Zhongan and these additional 14 companies are part of the China-wide entity.13 We received no comments or arguments since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provide a basis for reconsideration of these determinations. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that the fifteen companies identified at 10 See Preliminary Results PDM at 8. at 4–5. 12 See Appendix II of this notice which identifies these 14 companies along with Ningbo Zhongan. 13 See Preliminary Results PDM at 4–5. 11 Id. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Appendix II to this notice are a part of the China-wide entity. Commerce’s policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review.14 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the China-wide entity.15 Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review, the China-wide entity is not under review and the China-wide entity’s rate (i.e., 142.72 percent) is not subject to change as a result of this review.16 Final Results of the Review For the companies subject to this review, which established their eligibility for a separate rate, Commerce determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the POR: Exporter Both-Well (Taizhou) Steel Fittings Co., Ltd ........................... Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) 0.00 Review-Specific Rate Applicable to the Following Companies Ningbo Long Teng Metal Manufacturing Co., Ltd .................... Ningbo Save Technology Co., Ltd ........................................... Q.C. Witness International Co., Ltd ...........................................

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 14 See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013). 15 Id. 16 See Order, 83 FR at 60397. E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 28, 2021 / Notices 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). Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Both-Well and the respondents that were not selected for individual examination in this administrative review but qualified for a separate rate is zero, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.17 For the companies listed in Appendix II, identified as part of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to apply an antidumping duty assessment rate of 142.72 percent (the rate applicable to the China-wide entity) to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR exported by those companies. For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by BothWell during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the rate for the China-wide entity.18 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 (i.e., at that exporter’s cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the rate for the Chinawide entity (i.e., 142.72 percent). We intend to instruct CBP to take into account the ‘‘provisional measures deposit cap’’ in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d). Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 142.72 percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate 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. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the 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 section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For each company listed in the final results of this review, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed for the exporter in the table; (2) for a previously examined Chinese and non-Chinese exporter not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporterspecific cash deposit rate; (3) for all Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO) 17 See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012). 18 See Assessment Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694–95, for a full discussion of this practice. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Sep 27, 2021 Jkt 253001 Disclosure Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties 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 POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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 violation subject to sanction.

Forged Steel Fittings From the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final 
Determination of No Shipments; 2018-2019

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Both-
Well (Taizhou) Steel Fittings Co., Ltd. (Both-Well), an exporter of 
forged steel fittings from the People's Republic of China (China), did 
not sell subject merchandise in the United States at prices below 
normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) May 17, 2018, 
through October 31, 2019. We also find that 15 companies, including 
Ningbo Zhongan Forging Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Zhongan), are not eligible for 
a separate rate and, therefore, are part of the China-wide entity. 
Further, we have found that four companies had no shipments of subject 
merchandise during the POR.

DATES: Applicable September 28, 2021.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain 
revisions to the margin calculations for Both-Well.\5\ However, these 
revisions did not change the weighted-average dumping margin for Both-
Well \6\ and, consequently, did not change the rate assigned to the 
non-individually examined, separate rate respondents. See ``Dumping 
Margin for Non-Individually Examined Companies Granted a Separate 
Rate'' below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of 
Forged Steel Fittings from the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results Calculation Memorandum for Both-Well,'' dated concurrently 
with this notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined that Dalian 
Guangming Pipe Fittings Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Forged Pipe Fittings Co., 
Ltd.; Lianfa Stainless Steel Pipes & Valves (Qingyun) Co., Ltd.; and 
Qingdao Bestflow Industrial Co., Ltd. had no shipments of subject 
merchandise during the POR.\7\ We received no arguments identifying 
information that contradicts this determination. Therefore, we continue 
to find that these companies had no shipments of subject merchandise to 
the United States during the POR and will issue appropriate liquidation 
instructions that are consistent with our ``automatic assessment'' 
clarification for these final results.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 16187.
    \8\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Assessment 
Practice Refinement).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rate Respondents

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Both-Well and 
six other companies demonstrated their eligibility for a separate 
rate.\9\ We received no comments or arguments since the issuance of the 
Preliminary Results that provide a basis for reconsideration of these 
separate rate determinations. Therefore, for these final results, we 
continue to find that the six companies listed in the table under 
``Review-Specific Rate Applicable to the Following Non-Selected 
Companies'' in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section of this 
notice are eligible for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 16187.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumping Margin for Non-Individually Examined Companies Granted a 
Separate Rate

    In the Preliminary Results,\10\ because the only participating 
mandatory respondent (i.e., Both-Well) eligible for a separate rate 
received a weighted-average dumping margin of zero percent, we looked 
for guidance to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, which instructs 
Commerce to use any ``reasonable method'' to determine the rate for 
exporters that are not being individually examined and found to be 
entitled to a separate rate. Accordingly, in the Preliminary Results, 
we assigned the calculated weighted-average dumping margin of the sole 
participating mandatory respondent, Both-Well (i.e., zero percent), as 
the weighted-average dumping margin for the non-individually examined, 
separate rate respondents. No parties commented on the methodology for 
calculating this separate rate. For the final results, as the revisions 
we made to the margin calculations for Both-Well did not change the 
weighted-average dumping margin for Both-Well (i.e., zero percent), we 
continue to find it appropriate to assign the calculated weighted-
average dumping margin of the sole participating mandatory respondent, 
Both-Well (i.e., zero percent), as the weighted-average dumping margin 
for the non-individually examined, separate rate respondents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Preliminary Results PDM at 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The China-Wide Entity

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce preliminarily determined that 
Ningbo Zhongan, a company selected for individual examination, had not 
established its eligibility for a separate rate.\11\ Moreover, Commerce 
preliminarily determined that 14 other companies for which a review was 
initiated did not establish their eligibility for a separate rate 
because they failed to provide a separate rate application, a separate 
rate certification, or a no-shipment certification if they were already 
eligible for a separate rate.\12\ As such, we preliminarily determined 
that Ningbo Zhongan and these additional 14 companies are part of the 
China-wide entity.\13\ We received no comments or arguments since the 
issuance of the Preliminary Results that provide a basis for 
reconsideration of these determinations. Therefore, for these final 
results, we continue to find that the fifteen companies identified at 
Appendix II to this notice are a part of the China-wide entity.

    \12\ See Appendix II of this notice which identifies these 14 
companies along with Ningbo Zhongan.
    \13\ See Preliminary Results PDM at 4-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide 
entity applies to this administrative review.\14\ Under this policy, 
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
China-wide entity.\15\ Because no party requested a review of the 
China-wide entity in this review, the China-wide entity is not under 
review and the China-wide entity's rate (i.e., 142.72 percent) is not 
subject to change as a result of this review.\16\

Final Results of the Review

    For the companies subject to this review, which established their 
eligibility for a separate rate, Commerce determines that the following 
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the POR:

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (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 covered by this review. 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

[[Page 53631]]

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).
    Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Both-Well and the 
respondents that were not selected for individual examination in this 
administrative review but qualified for a separate rate is zero, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without 
regard to antidumping duties.\17\ For the companies listed in Appendix 
II, identified as part of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP 
to apply an antidumping duty assessment rate of 142.72 percent (the 
rate applicable to the China-wide entity) to all entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR exported by those companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 
by Both-Well during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the rate for the China-wide entity.\18\ 
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 (i.e., at that exporter's 
cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the rate for the China-wide 
entity (i.e., 142.72 percent).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Assessment Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694-95, for 
a full discussion of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to instruct CBP to take into account the ``provisional 
measures deposit cap'' in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the 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 section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For each company 
listed in the final results of this review, the cash deposit rate will 
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed for the exporter 
in the table; (2) for a previously examined Chinese and non-Chinese 
exporter not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior 
completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the existing exporter-specific cash deposit 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 
the rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 142.72 percent); and (4) for 
all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not 
received their own separate 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.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this 
proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of 
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305(a)(3), 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 violation 
subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This administrative review and notice are issued and published 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)(5).

    Dated: September 21, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
