Department of Commerce.
AGENCY:
The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) determines that Dalian
Hualing Wood Co., Ltd. (Hualing) does
not qualify as a new shipper. Therefore,
we are rescinding this new shipper
review (NSR).
SUMMARY:
DATES:
Applicable November 12, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 18, 2021, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Rescission of this NSR.1 On
September 17, 2021, Hualing filed its
case brief and also requested a public
hearing.2 On September 24, 2021, the
American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance (the
petitioner) submitted its rebuttal brief.3
On October 22, 2021, we held a public
hearing, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c).
The products covered by the Order
are wooden cabinets and vanities that
are for permanent installation
(including floor mounted, wall
mounted, ceiling hung or by attachment
of plumbing), and wooden components
thereof. For a complete description of
the scope of the Order, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.5
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this NSR are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted
by this notice.6 The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Service
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available
to registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. A list of topics
discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is included as an
appendix to this notice. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://access.trade.gov/
public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Recission of the Antidumping Duty
New Shipper Review
Based on information on the record,
we determine that Hualing does not
meet the minimum requirements under
19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) for a NSR.
Therefore, we determine that it is
appropriate to rescind the NSR with
respect to Hualing.
Assessment Rate
Commerce does not intend to instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to liquidate the relevant entry
because the entry is subject to the
administrative review covering the
period April 1, 2020, through March 31,
2021, initiated on June 11, 2021.7
Cash Deposit Instructions
Because we are rescinding this NSR,
we are not determining a company
specific cash deposit rate for Hualing in
this review. Hauling continues to be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary
Results of this review on July 9, 2021,
and invited comments from interested
parties.1 For a complete description of
the events that occurred since the
Preliminary Results, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.2
Scope of the Order 3
The products covered by the Order
are certain on-the-road steel wheels,
discs, and rims for tubeless tires with a
nominal wheel diameter of 12 inches to
16.5 inches, regardless of width. For a
complete description of the scope of the
Order, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.4
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
After evaluating the comments
received from interested parties and
record information, we have made no
changes to the net subsidy rates
assigned to the mandatory respondents.
For a discussion of these comments, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For
purposes of these final results,
Commerce is relying solely on facts
otherwise available, including adverse
facts available (AFA), pursuant to
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act
because the selected mandatory
respondents did not participate in this

evidence on the record of this segment
of the proceeding to indicate that this
company had entries, exports, or sales
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR, we are
rescinding this review with respect to
this company, consistent with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
Final Results of Administrative Review
We determine that, for the period
February 25, 2019, through December
31, 2019, the following net
countervailable subsidy rates exist:

Hangzhou Jingu New Energy Development
Co. Ltd.; Shangdong Jingu Auto Parts Co.,
Ltd.; Zhejiang Jingu Automobile Components;
Zhejiang Wheel World Co., Ltd.; and Shanghai
Yata Industry Company Limited. There is no
information on the record of this administrative
review that would lead Commerce to reconsider that determination, therefore, we continue to find these companies cross-owned.

Diameter from the People’s Republic of China:
Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, and Final Affirmative Determination
of Critical Circumstances, 84 FR 32723 (July

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final
results of a 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, because Commerce applied
AFA to the three mandatory
respondents, in accordance with section
776 of the Act, there are no calculations
to disclose.
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2),
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise 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

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 216 / Friday, November 12, 2021 / Notices
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).
Cash Deposit Rates
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash
deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts shown for the
companies listed above. For all
nonreviewed firms, we will instruct
CBP to continue to collect cash deposits
of estimated countervailing duties at the
most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company,
as appropriate. These cash deposits,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
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(a)(3).
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing
these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) and 19

ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
After evaluating the comments received from interested parties and
record information, we have made no changes to the net subsidy rates
assigned to the mandatory respondents. For a discussion of these
comments, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
For purposes of these final results, Commerce is relying solely on

Order on Certain Steel Wheels (12-16.5 inches diameter) from the
People's Republic of China,'' dated July 1, 2021 (Preliminary

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
It is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of a
countervailing duty order, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there
are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for
which liquidation is suspended.\6\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the
countervailing duty assessment rate calculated for the review
period.\7\ Therefore, for an administrative review of a company to be
conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce
can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at
the calculated countervailing duty assessment rate calculated for the
review period.\8\ We continue to find that Hangzhou Antego Industry Co.
Ltd. did not have reviewable entries of subject merchandise for which
liquidation is suspended. Because there is no evidence on the record of
this segment of the proceeding to indicate that this company had
entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise to the United States
during the POR, we are rescinding this review with respect to this
company, consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Final Results of Administrative Review
We determine that, for the period February 25, 2019, through
December 31, 2019, the following net countervailable subsidy rates
exist:

Zhejiang Jingu Company Limited and Shanghai Yata Industry 388.31
Company Limited \9\........................................
Xiamen Topu Imports & Export Co., Ltd....................... 388.31
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ In the investigation, we found that Zhejiang Jingu was cross-owned
with An Gang Jingu (Hangzhou) Metal Materials Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou
Jingu New Energy Development Co. Ltd.; Shangdong Jingu Auto Parts Co.,
Ltd.; Zhejiang Jingu Automobile Components; Zhejiang Wheel World Co.,
Ltd.; and Shanghai Yata Industry Company Limited. There is no
information on the record of this administrative review that would
lead Commerce to reconsider that determination, therefore, we continue
to find these companies cross-owned. See Certain Steel Wheels 12 to
16.5 Inches in Diameter from the People's Republic of China: Final
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, and Final Affirmative
Determination of Critical Circumstances, 84 FR 32723 (July 9, 2019).
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final results of a 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,
because Commerce applied AFA to the three mandatory respondents, in
accordance with section 776 of the Act, there are no calculations to
disclose.
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise 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
[[Page 62790]]
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).
Cash Deposit Rates
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties in the amounts shown for the companies listed
above. For all nonreviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to continue 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 deposits, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final 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(a)(3). 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4)
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
