merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the

dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by a company
not covered in this review but covered
in a prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the less-than-fair-value investigation
but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the most recently completed segment
of the proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 2.66 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation.17 These cash

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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.

to comment on these preliminary
results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 20, 2020, Commerce
published the countervailing duty
(CVD) order on collated staples from
China.1 On August 2, 2021, we received
a timely request for an administrative
review from Kyocera Senco Industrial
Tools, Inc. (the petitioner).2 On
September 7, 2021, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the Order on 87 producers/
exporters.3 For a description of the
events that occurred since the initiation
of this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.4

People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty

Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement

Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users

complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://access.trade.gov/

of topics discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is included as
Appendix I to this notice.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is
collated staples from China. For a
complete description of the scope of the
Order, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Rescission of Administrative Review, In
Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party who requested the review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation. As noted in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, on September
16, 2021, the petitioner timely withdrew
its request for review for Youngwoo
(Cangzhou) Fasteners Co., Ltd.
(Youngwoo).5 Because there was a
timely withdrawal of request for review
for Youngwoo and because there are no
other active requests for review for
Youngwoo, we are rescinding this
review with respect to Youngwoo,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). As
such, we have included Youngwoo in
the list of companies in Appendix III of
this notice.
In addition, based on our analysis of
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) information, we preliminarily
determine that 78 companies had no
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR.6 On July 1, 2022, we notified
parties that we intended to rescind this
administrative review with respect to
the 78 companies because there are no
reviewable suspended entries. No
parties commented on the notification
of intent to rescind the review, in part.7
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we
are rescinding the administrative review
of these companies. We have included
a list of these 78 companies in
Appendix III of this notice. For
additional information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.8
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 each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, we
preliminarily determine that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by
an ‘‘authority’’ that confers a benefit to
the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.9 For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
preliminary conclusions, including our
reliance, in part, on adverse facts
available pursuant to sections 776(a)
and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.10
Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected
Companies Under Review
As discussed above, Commerce
initiated this administrative review on
87 producers/exporters and is
rescinding this administrative review, in
part, with respect to 79 producers/
exporters. In addition, Commerce
selected three mandatory respondents,
China Staple Enterprise (Tianjin) (China
Staple), Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd.
(Shanghai Yueda), and Tianjin
Hweschun Fasteners Mfg. Co. Ltd.
(Tianjin Hweschun) for individual
examination. However, only Tianjin
Hweschun participated in this
administrative review. For the
remaining five companies subject to this
review, because the rate calculated for
Tianjin Hweschun is above de minimis
and not based entirely on facts
available, we are applying to the five
non-selected companies Tianjin
Hweschun’s subsidy rate. This
methodology to establish the rate for the
non-selected companies is pursuant to
section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which
governs the calculation of the ‘‘allothers’’ rate in an investigation, as
guidance. For additional information,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.11 For a list of the nonselected companies, see Appendix II to
this notice.
Preliminary Results of the Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated a

countervailable subsidy rate for Tianjin
Hweschun. We determined the
countervailable subsidy rate for China
Staple and Shanghai Yueda based
entirely on adverse facts available
(AFA), in accordance with section 776
of the Act,12 due to their failure to
participate in this review. Therefore, the
only rate that is not zero, de minimis,
or based entirely on facts otherwise
available is the rate calculated for
Tianjin Hweschun. Consequently, as
discussed above, we applied the rate for
Tianjin Hweschun to all other
producers/exporters subject to this
review but not selected for individual
examination (i.e., non-selected
companies).
We preliminarily find the
countervailable subsidy rates for the
mandatory and non-selected
respondents under review for the period
of November 12, 2019, through
December 31, 2020, to be as follows:

As provided in section 782(i)(3) of the
Act, Commerce intends to verify the
information relied upon for its final
results.

We intend to disclose to interested
parties the calculations performed for
these preliminary results within five
days of the date of publication of this
notice in accordance with 19 CFR

may be submitted to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance. A timeline for the

entries covered by this review. For the
companies for which this review is
rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP
to assess countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries at a rate equal to the
cash deposit of estimated countervailing
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period
November 12, 2019, through December
31, 2020, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(l)(i). We intend to issue
appropriate assessment instructions to
CBP no earlier than 35 days after the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
For the companies remaining in the
review, Commerce will instruct CBP to
assess countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries at the subsidy rates
calculated in the final results of this
review. We intend 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).
Final Results
Unless the deadline is extended, we
intend to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will
include the results of our analysis of the
issues raised in the case briefs, within
120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h).
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act, Commerce intends, upon
publication of the final results, to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amounts shown for each of the
respective companies listed above and
in Appendix II 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 will instruct
CBP to continue to collect cash deposits
at the most recent company-specific or
all-others rate applicable to the
company. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

and exporters of certain collated steel staples (collated staples) from
the People's Republic of China (China) during the period of review
(POR) from November 12, 2019, through December 31, 2020. Additionally,
Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to 79 companies.
Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable August 5, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 20, 2020, Commerce published the countervailing duty (CVD)
order on collated staples from China.\1\ On August 2, 2021, we received
a timely request for an administrative review from Kyocera Senco
Industrial Tools, Inc. (the petitioner).\2\ On September 7, 2021,
Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the Order on 87 producers/exporters.\3\ For a
description of the events that occurred since the initiation of this
review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Collated Steel Staples from the People's
Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 85 FR 43813 (July 20,
2020) (Order).
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Reviews,'' dated August 2, 2021.
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 86 FR 50034, 50045-46 (September 7, 2021)
(Initiation Notice).
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results in the Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Partial
Rescission: Certain Collated Steel Staples from the People's
Republic of China; 2019-2020,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby
adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 47981]]
The Preliminary 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 Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is collated staples from China.
For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, In Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation. As noted in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, on September 16, 2021, the petitioner timely
withdrew its request for review for Youngwoo (Cangzhou) Fasteners Co.,
Ltd. (Youngwoo).\5\ Because there was a timely withdrawal of request
for review for Youngwoo and because there are no other active requests
for review for Youngwoo, we are rescinding this review with respect to
Youngwoo, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). As such, we have included
Youngwoo in the list of companies in Appendix III of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, based on our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) information, we preliminarily determine that 78
companies had no entries of subject merchandise during the POR.\6\ On
July 1, 2022, we notified parties that we intended to rescind this
administrative review with respect to the 78 companies because there
are no reviewable suspended entries. No parties commented on the
notification of intent to rescind the review, in part.\7\ Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding the administrative review of
these companies. We have included a list of these 78 companies in
Appendix III of this notice. For additional information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Appendix III.
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, In
Part,'' dated July 1, 2022.
\8\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 each
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we preliminarily
determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an
``authority'' that confers a benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific.\9\ For a full description of the methodology
underlying our preliminary conclusions, including our reliance, in
part, on adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of
the Act, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
\10\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 7-38.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review
As discussed above, Commerce initiated this administrative review
on 87 producers/exporters and is rescinding this administrative review,
in part, with respect to 79 producers/exporters. In addition, Commerce
selected three mandatory respondents, China Staple Enterprise (Tianjin)
(China Staple), Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Yueda), and
Tianjin Hweschun Fasteners Mfg. Co. Ltd. (Tianjin Hweschun) for
individual examination. However, only Tianjin Hweschun participated in
this administrative review. For the remaining five companies subject to
this review, because the rate calculated for Tianjin Hweschun is above
de minimis and not based entirely on facts available, we are applying
to the five non-selected companies Tianjin Hweschun's subsidy rate.
This methodology to establish the rate for the non-selected companies
is pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which governs the
calculation of the ``all-others'' rate in an investigation, as
guidance. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.\11\ For a list of the non-selected companies, see Appendix
II to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Id. at 4-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of the Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated a
countervailable subsidy rate for Tianjin Hweschun. We determined the
countervailable subsidy rate for China Staple and Shanghai Yueda based
entirely on adverse facts available (AFA), in accordance with section
776 of the Act,\12\ due to their failure to participate in this review.
Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated for
Tianjin Hweschun. Consequently, as discussed above, we applied the rate
for Tianjin Hweschun to all other producers/exporters subject to this
review but not selected for individual examination (i.e., non-selected
companies).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ For information detailing the derivation of the AFA rate
applied, see Memorandum, ``AFA Calculation Memorandum for the
Preliminary Results in the Administrative Review of Certain Collated
Steel Staples from the People's Republic of China,'' dated
concurrently with this memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We preliminarily find the countervailable subsidy rates for the
mandatory and non-selected respondents under review for the period of
November 12, 2019, through December 31, 2020, to be as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy
Producer/exporter rate
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tianjin Hweschun Fasteners Mfg. Co. Ltd..................... 35.63
China Staple Enterprise (Tianjin)........................... 193.36
Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd............................... 193.36
Non-Selected Companies Under Review \13\.................... 35.63
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verification
As provided in section 782(i)(3) of the Act, Commerce intends to
verify the information relied upon for its final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results
Unless the deadline is extended, we intend to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of our analysis of the issues raised in the case briefs, within 120
days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
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 CBP shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. For the companies for which
this review is rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the
cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period
November 12, 2019, through December 31, 2020, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(l)(i). We intend to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
For the companies remaining in the review, Commerce will instruct
CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at the
subsidy rates calculated in the final results of this review. We intend
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends,
upon publication of the final results, to instruct CBP to collect cash
deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for
each of the respective companies listed above and in Appendix II 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
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the most
recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results are issued and published pursuant to
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
