other coniferous wood (softwood lumber
products). The scope includes:
• Coniferous wood, sawn, or chipped
lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not
planed, whether or not sanded, or whether or
not finger-jointed, of an actual thickness
exceeding six millimeters.
• Coniferous wood siding, flooring, and
other coniferous wood (other than moldings
and dowel rods), including strips and friezes
for parquet flooring, that is continuously
shaped (including, but not limited to,
tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, Vjointed, beaded, molded, rounded) along any
of its edges, ends, or faces, whether or not
planed, whether or not sanded, or whether or
not end-jointed.
• Coniferous drilled and notched lumber
and angle cut lumber.
• Coniferous lumber stacked on edge and
fastened together with nails, whether or not
with plywood sheathing.
• Components or parts of semi-finished or
unassembled finished products made from
subject merchandise that would otherwise
meet the definition of the scope above.
Finished products are not covered by the
scope of this Order. For the purposes of this
scope, finished products contain, or are
comprised of, subject merchandise and have
undergone sufficient processing such that
they can no longer be considered
intermediate products, and such products
can be readily differentiated from
merchandise subject to this Order at the time
of importation. Such differentiation may, for
example, be shown through marks of special
adaptation as a particular product. The
following products are illustrative of the type
of merchandise that is considered ‘‘finished’’
for the purpose of this scope: I-joists;
assembled pallets; cutting boards; assembled
picture frames; garage doors.
The following items are excluded from the
scope of this Order:
• Softwood lumber products certified by
the Atlantic Lumber Board as being first
produced in the Provinces of Newfoundland
and Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward
Island from logs harvested in Newfoundland
and Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward
Island.
• U.S.-origin lumber shipped to Canada for
processing and imported into the United
States if the processing occurring in Canada
is limited to one or more of the following: (1)
kiln drying; (2) planing to create smooth-tosize board; or (3) sanding.
• Box-spring frame kits if they contain the
following wooden pieces—two side rails, two
end (or top) rails and varying numbers of
slats. The side rails and the end rails must
be radius-cut at both ends. The kits must be
individually packaged and must contain the
exact number of wooden components needed
to make a particular box-spring frame, with
no further processing required. None of the
components exceeds 1’’ in actual thickness or
83’’ in length.
• Radius-cut box-spring-frame
components, not exceeding 1’’ in actual
thickness or 83’’ in length, ready for
assembly without further processing. The
radius cuts must be present on both ends of
the boards and must be substantially cut so
as to completely round one corner.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
determines that sales of stainless steel
sheet and strip in coils (SSSSC) from
Taiwan have been made at less than
normal value during the period of
review (POR), July 1, 2021, through June
30, 2022. Additionally, Commerce
preliminarily determines that four
companies for which we initiated a
review had no shipments during the
POR. Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable April 6, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on SSSSC from
Taiwan.1 On July 1, 2022, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the Order.2 The
notice of initiation of this administrative
review was published on September 6,
2022.3 This review covers 61 producers
and/or exporters of the subject
merchandise. Commerce selected two
companies, Lien Kuo Metal Industries
Co., Ltd. (Lien Kuo) and S More Steel
Materials Co., Ltd. (S More) for
individual examination.4 The producers

Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order
are certain stainless steel sheet and strip
in coils. Stainless steel is an alloy steel
containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or
less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more
of chromium, with or without other
elements. The subject sheet and strip is
a flat-rolled product in coils that is
greater than 9.5 mm in width and less
than 4.75 mm in thickness, and that is
annealed or otherwise heat treated and
pickled or otherwise descaled. The
subject sheet and strip may also be
further processed (e.g., cold-rolled,
polished, aluminized, coated, etc.)
provided that it maintains the specific
dimensions of sheet and strip following
such processing. The products subject to
the Order are classified in the

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established
for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’
Section 735(c)(5)(B) further provides
if the estimated weighted average
dumping margins established for all
exporters and producers individually
investigated are zero, de minimis, or are
determined entirely by application of
facts available, Commerce may 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. The SAA further states
that, ‘‘{t}he expected method in such
cases will be to weight-average the zero
and de minimis margins and margins
determined pursuant to the facts
available, provided that volume data is
available.’’ 13 However, the SAA also
instructs that, ‘‘if this {expected}
method is not feasible, or if it results in
an average that would not be reasonably
reflective of potential dumping margins
for non-investigated exporters or
producers, Commerce may use other
reasonable methods’’ to calculate the
rate for the companies not selected for
individual examination in this review.14
We preliminarily based the weightedaverage dumping margins for Lien Kuo
and S More, the mandatory respondents
in this review, entirely on facts
otherwise available with adverse
inferences (AFA), as discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Further, we preliminarily find that the
mandatory respondents’ total AFA
dumping margin of 21.10 percent is not
reasonably reflective of the non-selected
companies’ potential dumping margins
during the POR because, in the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding, the rate assigned to the
mandatory respondent was 0.00 percent
and the rate assigned to the non-selected
companies was 4.30 percent.15

be reasonably reflective of potential dumping
margins for non-investigated exporters or
producers,’’ Commerce may, instead, ‘‘use other
reasonable methods.’’).

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
practice will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by companies included in these final
results of review for which the reviewed
companies did not know that the
merchandise they sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.27
Further, if we continue to find in the
final results that Yieh Mau, Yieh Phui,
Yuen Chang, and YUSCO had no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate any suspended entries that
entered under their AD case number
(i.e., at that exporter’s rate) at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
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).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
19 CFR 351.402(f) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on SSSSC from Taiwan.\1\ On July 1, 2022, Commerce published
in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the Order.\2\ The notice of initiation of this
administrative review was published on September 6, 2022.\3\ This
review covers 61 producers and/or exporters of the subject merchandise.
Commerce selected two companies, Lien Kuo Metal Industries Co., Ltd.
(Lien Kuo) and S More Steel Materials Co., Ltd. (S More) for individual
examination.\4\ The producers
[[Page 20482]]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order are certain stainless steel
sheet and strip in coils. Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing,
by weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of
chromium, with or without other elements. The subject sheet and strip
is a flat-rolled product in coils that is greater than 9.5 mm in width
and less than 4.75 mm in thickness, and that is annealed or otherwise
heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled. The subject sheet and
strip may also be further processed (e.g., cold-rolled, polished,
aluminized, coated, etc.) provided that it maintains the specific
dimensions of sheet and strip following such processing. The products
subject to the Order are classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS) statistical reporting numbers

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For a full description of the scope of the Order, see
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Commerce has preliminarily relied entirely upon facts otherwise
available with adverse inferences for Lien Kuo and S More.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of the
topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as
an appendix to this notice. 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.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Four companies under review, Yieh Mau Corporation (Yieh Mau); Yieh
Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Phui); Yieh United Steel Corporation
(YUSCO); and Yuen Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. (Yuen Chang), filed
statements reporting that they made no sales or exports of subject
merchandise to the United States during the POR.\7\ We were able to
confirm Yieh Mau's, Yieh Phui's, and Yuen Chang's claims with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).\8\ Consequently, we preliminarily
determine that Yieh Mau, Yieh Phui, and Yuen Chang had no shipments
during the POR. Consistent with Commerce's practice, we find that it is
not appropriate to rescind the review with respect to these companies,
but rather to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to
CBP based on the final results of this review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Yieh Mau's Letter, ``No Shipment Certification,'' dated
October 4, 2022; see also Yieh Phui's Letter, ``No Shipment
Certification,'' dated October 4, 2022; Yuen Chang's Letter, ``No
Shipment Certification,'' dated October 4, 2022; and YUSCO's Letter,
``No Shipment Certification,'' dated October 4, 2022.
\8\ See Memorandum, ``No Shipment Inquiry with Respect to the
Companies Below During the Period 07/01/2021 through 06/30/2022,''
dated January 30, 2023.
\9\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also attempted to confirm YUSCO's claim with CBP; however, after
review of the CBP data on the record of this case, we requested
additional information from CBP related to certain POR entries of
merchandise that may have been produced by YUSCO. In December 2022,
Commerce placed these entry documents on the record.\10\ In January
2023, we requested that YUSCO provide additional information related to
its no-shipments claim, and we requested additional information from
YUSCO's counsel related to the entry documents on the record.\11\ In
this same month, YUSCO and its counsel, respectively, responded to
these requests.\12\ Based on our analysis of the information on the
record of this review, we also preliminarily determine that YUSCO had
no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR because there is no
information on the record to contradict YUSCO's no shipments
certification. Therefore, consistent with our practice, we also will
not rescind the review with respect to YUSCO; rather, we will complete
the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review. For further discussion, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum at ``Preliminary Determination of No Shipments.''

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the rate to be
applied to companies not selected for individual examination when
Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section
735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for guidance when
calculating the rate for companies that were not selected for
individual examination 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
[[Page 20483]]
average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established
for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .''
Section 735(c)(5)(B) further provides if the estimated weighted
average dumping margins established for all exporters and producers
individually investigated are zero, de minimis, or are determined
entirely by application of facts available, Commerce may 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. The SAA further
states that, ``{t{time} he expected method in such cases will be to
weight-average the zero and de minimis margins and margins determined
pursuant to the facts available, provided that volume data is
available.'' \13\ However, the SAA also instructs that, ``if this
{expected{time} method is not feasible, or if it results in an average
that would not be reasonably reflective of potential dumping margins
for non-investigated exporters or producers, Commerce may use other
reasonable methods'' to calculate the rate for the companies not
selected for individual examination in this review.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Statement of Administrative Action Accompanying the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act, H.R. Doc. 103-316, vol. 1 (1994) (SAA)
at 873.
\14\ Id.; see also Albemarle Corp. v. United States, 821 F.3d
1345, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (explaining that if the ``expected
method'' is ``not feasible'' or the method ``results in an average
that would not be reasonably reflective of potential dumping margins
for non-investigated exporters or producers,'' Commerce may,
instead, ``use other reasonable methods.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We preliminarily based the weighted-average dumping margins for
Lien Kuo and S More, the mandatory respondents in this review, entirely
on facts otherwise available with adverse inferences (AFA), as
discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Further, we
preliminarily find that the mandatory respondents' total AFA dumping
margin of 21.10 percent is not reasonably reflective of the non-
selected companies' potential dumping margins during the POR because,
in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding, the rate
assigned to the mandatory respondent was 0.00 percent and the rate
assigned to the non-selected companies was 4.30 percent.\15\ Therefore,
we preliminarily assigned the rate most recently assigned to the non-
selected companies in this proceeding (i.e., 4.30 percent) to the non-
selected companies in this review. For additional information, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ``Companies Not Selected for
Individual Examination.''

Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that the
following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the
period July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with a preliminary determination within five
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of
preliminary determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily applied
total AFA to the individually examined companies, Lien Kuo and S More,
in this administrative review, and the applied AFA rate is based on a
rate calculated for a respondent in a prior segment of this proceeding,
there are no calculations to disclose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\25\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies that were not selected for individual review, we
intend to assign an assessment rate based on the methodology described
in the ``Rate for Non-Selected Companies'' section, above. The final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 20484]]
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in
these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not
know that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a
reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further, if we continue to find in the final results that Yieh Mau,
Yieh Phui, Yuen Chang, and YUSCO had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to liquidate any
suspended entries that entered under their AD case number (i.e., at
that exporter's rate) at the all-others rate if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the exporters listed above will
be that established in the final results of this review, except if the
rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate
will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recently-completed
segment of this proceeding in which the company was reviewed; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or previous segment,
but the manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently-completed segment for the
manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 12.61 percent,
the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\28\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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.
Dated: March 31, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
