Jkt 259001 Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires From the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission, and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2021–2022 Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily finds that certain exporters of passenger vehicle and light truck tires (passenger tires) from the People’s Republic of China (China) made sales of subject merchandise at prices below normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) August 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022. Commerce also preliminarily finds that eight companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, and that it is appropriate to rescind this review with respect to six companies because all requests for review of these companies were withdrawn. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. DATES: Applicable September 7, 2023. AGENCY: 9 Subject merchandise produced and exported by Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan) was excluded from the order effective June 1, 2020. See Amended Final Determination, 85 FR at 35264. Commerce also stated in this notice that it would not initiate a new review of Borusan’s entries. Accordingly, Borusan is only covered by this administrative review for subject merchandise produced in Turkey where Borusan acted as either the producer or exporter, but not both.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On October 11, 2022, based on timely requests for review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on passenger tires from China.1 This review covers 43 exporters of the subject merchandise. In April 2023, we extended the preliminary results of this review to no later than August 31, 2023.2 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this administrative review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 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 in Appendix I. Scope of the Order The products covered by the Order are passenger tires from China. A full description of the scope of the Order is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 1 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 87 FR 61278 (October 11, 2022); see also Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty Order; and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Countervailing Duty Order, 80 FR 47902 (August 10, 2015) (Order). 2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results of the 2021–2022 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated April 24, 2023. 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires from the People’s Republic of China and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2021–2022,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 4 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ‘‘Scope of the Order.’’ E:\FR\FM\07SEN1.SGM 07SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 172 / Thursday, September 7, 2023 / Notices Partial Rescission of Administrative Review 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 notice of initiation of the requested review in the Federal Register. In November and December 2022, all parties withdrew their requests for review by the 90-day withdrawal deadline for the following companies: 5 (1) Qingdao Fullrun Tyre Corp. Ltd. (Fullrun); (2) Qingdao Lakesea Tyre Co., Ltd. (Lakesea); (3) Roadclaw Tyre (Hong Kong) Limited (Roadclaw); (4) Shouguang Firemax Tyre Co., Ltd. (Firemax); (5) Winrun Tyre Co., Ltd. (Winrun); and (6) Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd. (Junhong). Because all parties withdrew their requests for a review of these exporters, consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these companies. Methodology Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.213. We calculated constructed export prices in accordance with section 772(b) of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy (NME) country, within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Preliminary Determination of No Shipments ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 In October and November 2022, eight companies timely filed certifications that they had no exports, shipments, sales, or entries of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.6 5 See Roadclaw’s and Winrun’s Letter, ‘‘Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated November 15, 2022; Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Withdrawal of One Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated November 23, 2022; and Fullrun’s, Junhong’s, and Lakesea’s Letter, ‘‘Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated December 3, 2022. 6 See Qingdao Nama Industrial Co., Ltd.’s (Nama’s) Letter, ‘‘Submission of Statement of No Shipments,’’ dated October 26, 2022; Crown International Corporation’s (CIC’s) Letter, ‘‘Submission of Statement of No Shipments,’’ dated October 26, 2022; Triangle Tyre Co., Ltd.’s (Triangle Tyre’s) Letter, ‘‘No Shipment Certification,’’ dated November 4, 2022; Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Ltd.’s (PCT’s) Letter, ‘‘Notice of No Sales,’’ dated November 8, 2022; Shandong Yongsheng Rubber Group Co., Ltd’s (Shandong Yongsheng’s) Letter, ‘‘Notice of No Sales,’’ dated November 8, 2022; Shandong Changfeng Tyres Co., VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:19 Sep 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 Based on their certifications and our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) information, we preliminarily determine that the following companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR: Changfeng, CIC, Nama, Shandong Duratti, Shandong Yongsheng, and Transtone. In addition, CBP information on the record indicated that PCT and Triangle Tyre had entries during the POR.7 Therefore, on November 23, 2022, and August 3, 2023, respectively, we issued supplemental questionnaires regarding PCT’s and Triangle Tyre’s POR entries.8 On December 22, 2022, and August 14, 2023, respectively PCT and Triangle Tyre submitted timely responses.9 Based on this information, Commerce preliminarily determines that PCT and Triangle Tyre had no entries during the POR. Consistent with Commerce’s practice in NME cases, we are not preliminarily rescinding this administrative review with respect to the companies for which we preliminarily found had no shipments. Instead, we intend to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review.10 Separate Rates As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce preliminarily finds that Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. (Zhongce) has not established its eligibility for a separate rate. Moreover, Commerce preliminarily finds that 14 other companies under review did not establish their eligibility Ltd.’s (Changfeng’s) Letter, ‘‘No Sales Certification,’’ dated November 10, 2022; Shandong Duratti Rubber Corporation Co. Ltd.’s (Shandong Duratti’s) Letter, ‘‘No Sales Certification,’’ dated November 10, 2022; and Shandong Transtone Tyre Co., Ltd.’s (Transtone’s) Letter, ‘‘No Sales Certification,’’ dated November 10, 2022. 7 See Memorandum, ‘‘No Shipment Inquiry for Triangle Tyre Co., Ltd during the period 08/01/2021 through 07/31/2022,’’ dated July 31, 2023, and Memorandum, ‘‘No Shipment Inquiry for Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Co., Ltd. during the period 08/01/2021 through 07/31/2022,’’ dated July 18, 2023. 8 See Commerce’s Letter, ‘‘Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Ltd. No Shipment Certification Supplemental Questionnaire,’’ dated November 23, 2022; see Commerce’s Letter, ‘‘Triangle Tyre Co. Ltd.’s No Shipment Certification Supplemental Questionnaire,’’ dated August 3, 2023. 9 See PCT’s Letter, ‘‘Submission of No Shipment Certification Supplemental Questionnaire,’’ dated December 22, 2022; and Triangle Tyre’s Letter, ‘‘Response to Supplemental Questionnaire Regarding Triangle Tyre’s No Shipment Certification for the Administrative Review,’’ dated August 14, 2023. 10 See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694–95 (October 24, 2011); see also the ‘‘Assessment Rates’’ section, below. PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61507 for a separate rate because they failed to provide either a separate rate application, a separate rate certification, or a no-shipment certification (if they were already eligible for a separate rate). As such, we preliminarily determine that Zhongce and these 14 other companies are part of the China-wide entity. See Appendix III for a complete list of these 15 companies. Commerce preliminarily determines that the following companies have demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate in this review: 11 (1) Anhui Jichi Tire Co., Ltd.; (2) Giti; 12 (3) Hankook Tire China Co., Ltd.; (4) Jiangsu Hankook Tire Co., Ltd.; (5) Qingdao Keter International Co., Limited; (6) Koryo International Industrial Limited; (7) Mayrun Tyre (Hong Kong) Limited; (8) Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd and Sentury (Hong Kong) Trading Co., Limited; (9) Qingdao Sunfulcess Tyre Co., Ltd.; (10) Shandong Haohua Tire Co., Ltd.; (11) Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd.; (12) Shandong New Continent Tire Co., Ltd.; (13) Shandong Province Sanli Tire Manufactured Co., Ltd.; and (14) Sumitomo.13 The statute and Commerce’s regulations do not identify the dumping margin to apply to respondents 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 an investigation, for guidance when determining the dumping margin for respondents that are not individually examined in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the all-others rate should be calculated by averaging the weightedaverage dumping margins for individually-examined respondents, excluding dumping margins that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. For these preliminary results, we preliminarily calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for the separate rate respondents using the calculated rates of the mandatory respondents, Giti and Sumitomo, which 11 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ‘‘Separate Rates.’’ 12 The Giti companies are: Giti Tire Global Trading Pte. Ltd.; Giti Radial Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd.; Giti Tire (Fujian) Company Ltd.; Giti Tire (Hualin) Company, Ltd.; Giti Tire Greatwall Company. Ltd.; Giti Tire (Anhui) Company; Giti Tire (Yinchuan) Company Ltd.; and Giti Tire (Chongqing) Company Ltd.

See Appendix II for the list of these companies. China-Wide Entity Commerce’s policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review.14 Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, the China-wide entity is not under review. Therefore, the rate previously established for the China-wide entity (i.e., 76.46 percent) remains the Chinawide entity rate this review.15 Preliminary Results of Review We preliminarily determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period August 1, 2020, through July 31, 2021: Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) Exporter Giti Tire Global Trading Pte.

Where either a respondent’s weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.25 For respondents not individually examined in this administrative review that qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin calculated using the rates assigned to Giti and Sumitomo in the final results of this review.26 Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment practice,27 for entries that were not reported in the U.S. data submitted by Giti and Sumitomo, we will instruct to CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate. Additionally, where Commerce determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR, any suspended entries of subject merchandise that entered under that exporter’s CBP case number during the POR will be liquidated at the dumping margin assigned to the China-wide entity. We intend to liquidate entries containing subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that we determine in the final results to be part of the China-wide entity at the China-wide assessment rate of 76.46 percent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 11, 2022, based on timely requests for review, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated this
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on passenger tires
from China.\1\ This review covers 43 exporters of the subject
merchandise. In April 2023, we extended the preliminary results of this
review to no later than August 31, 2023.\2\

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review

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 notice of initiation of the requested review in the
Federal Register. In November and December 2022, all parties withdrew
their requests for review by the 90-day withdrawal deadline for the
following companies: \5\ (1) Qingdao Fullrun Tyre Corp. Ltd. (Fullrun);
(2) Qingdao Lakesea Tyre Co., Ltd. (Lakesea); (3) Roadclaw Tyre (Hong
Kong) Limited (Roadclaw); (4) Shouguang Firemax Tyre Co., Ltd.
(Firemax); (5) Winrun Tyre Co., Ltd. (Winrun); and (6) Zhaoqing Junhong
Co., Ltd. (Junhong). Because all parties withdrew their requests for a
review of these exporters, consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce is rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these
companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\5\ See Roadclaw's and Winrun's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request
for Administrative Review,'' dated November 15, 2022; Petitioner's
Letter, ``Withdrawal of One Request for Administrative Review,''
dated November 23, 2022; and Fullrun's, Junhong's, and Lakesea's
Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated
December 3, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.213. We calculated constructed export prices in accordance with
section 772(b) of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy (NME)
country, within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we
calculated NV in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

In October and November 2022, eight companies timely filed
certifications that they had no exports, shipments, sales, or entries
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.\6\ Based on
their certifications and our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) information, we preliminarily determine that the
following companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the
POR: Changfeng, CIC, Nama, Shandong Duratti, Shandong Yongsheng, and
Transtone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\6\ See Qingdao Nama Industrial Co., Ltd.'s (Nama's) Letter,
``Submission of Statement of No Shipments,'' dated October 26, 2022;
Crown International Corporation's (CIC's) Letter, ``Submission of
Statement of No Shipments,'' dated October 26, 2022; Triangle Tyre
Co., Ltd.'s (Triangle Tyre's) Letter, ``No Shipment Certification,''
dated November 4, 2022; Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company
Ltd.'s (PCT's) Letter, ``Notice of No Sales,'' dated November 8,
2022; Shandong Yongsheng Rubber Group Co., Ltd's (Shandong
Yongsheng's) Letter, ``Notice of No Sales,'' dated November 8, 2022;
Shandong Changfeng Tyres Co., Ltd.'s (Changfeng's) Letter, ``No
Sales Certification,'' dated November 10, 2022; Shandong Duratti
Rubber Corporation Co. Ltd.'s (Shandong Duratti's) Letter, ``No
Sales Certification,'' dated November 10, 2022; and Shandong
Transtone Tyre Co., Ltd.'s (Transtone's) Letter, ``No Sales
Certification,'' dated November 10, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, CBP information on the record indicated that PCT and
Triangle Tyre had entries during the POR.\7\ Therefore, on November 23,
2022, and August 3, 2023, respectively, we issued supplemental
questionnaires regarding PCT's and Triangle Tyre's POR entries.\8\ On
December 22, 2022, and August 14, 2023, respectively PCT and Triangle
Tyre submitted timely responses.\9\ Based on this information, Commerce
preliminarily determines that PCT and Triangle Tyre had no entries
during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\7\ See Memorandum, ``No Shipment Inquiry for Triangle Tyre Co.,
Ltd during the period 08/01/2021 through 07/31/2022,'' dated July
31, 2023, and Memorandum, ``No Shipment Inquiry for Prinx Chengshan
(Shandong) Tire Co., Ltd. during the period 08/01/2021 through 07/
31/2022,'' dated July 18, 2023.
\8\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire
Company Ltd. No Shipment Certification Supplemental Questionnaire,''
dated November 23, 2022; see Commerce's Letter, ``Triangle Tyre Co.
Ltd.'s No Shipment Certification Supplemental Questionnaire,'' dated
August 3, 2023.
\9\ See PCT's Letter, ``Submission of No Shipment Certification
Supplemental Questionnaire,'' dated December 22, 2022; and Triangle
Tyre's Letter, ``Response to Supplemental Questionnaire Regarding
Triangle Tyre's No Shipment Certification for the Administrative
Review,'' dated August 14, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consistent with Commerce's practice in NME cases, we are not
preliminarily rescinding this administrative review with respect to the
companies for which we preliminarily found had no shipments. Instead,
we intend to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to
CBP based on the final results of this review.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\10\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011); see
also the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce
preliminarily finds that Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. (Zhongce) has
not established its eligibility for a separate rate. Moreover, Commerce
preliminarily finds that 14 other companies under review did not
establish their eligibility for a separate rate because they failed to
provide either a separate rate application, a separate rate
certification, or a no-shipment certification (if they were already
eligible for a separate rate). As such, we preliminarily determine that
Zhongce and these 14 other companies are part of the China-wide entity.
See Appendix III for a complete list of these 15 companies.
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following companies have
demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate in this review: \11\
(1) Anhui Jichi Tire Co., Ltd.; (2) Giti; \12\ (3) Hankook Tire China
Co., Ltd.; (4) Jiangsu Hankook Tire Co., Ltd.; (5) Qingdao Keter
International Co., Limited; (6) Koryo International Industrial Limited;
(7) Mayrun Tyre (Hong Kong) Limited; (8) Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd
and Sentury (Hong Kong) Trading Co., Limited; (9) Qingdao Sunfulcess
Tyre Co., Ltd.; (10) Shandong Haohua Tire Co., Ltd.; (11) Shandong
Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd.; (12) Shandong New Continent Tire Co., Ltd.;
(13) Shandong Province Sanli Tire Manufactured Co., Ltd.; and (14)
Sumitomo.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\11\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ``Separate Rates.''
\12\ The Giti companies are: Giti Tire Global Trading Pte. Ltd.;
Giti Radial Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd.; Giti Tire (Fujian) Company
Ltd.; Giti Tire (Hualin) Company, Ltd.; Giti Tire Greatwall Company.
Ltd.; Giti Tire (Anhui) Company; Giti Tire (Yinchuan) Company Ltd.;
and Giti Tire (Chongqing) Company Ltd. (collectively, Giti).
\13\ The Sumitomo companies are: Sumitomo Rubber Industries
Ltd.; Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan) Co., Ltd.; and Sumitomo Rubber
(Changshu) Co., Ltd. (collectively, Sumitomo).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The statute and Commerce's regulations do not identify the dumping
margin to apply to respondents 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 an investigation, for guidance when
determining the dumping margin for respondents that are not
individually examined in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A)
of the Act states that the all-others rate should be calculated by
averaging the weighted-average dumping margins for individually-
examined respondents, excluding dumping margins that are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. For these preliminary
results, we preliminarily calculated a weighted-average dumping margin
for the separate rate respondents using the calculated rates of the
mandatory respondents, Giti and Sumitomo, which

[[Page 61508]]

are not zero or de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of
facts available. See Appendix II for the list of these companies.

China-Wide Entity

Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\14\ Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide entity, the China-wide entity is
not under review. Therefore, the rate previously established for the
China-wide entity (i.e., 76.46 percent) remains the China-wide entity
rate this review.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\14\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\15\ See Order, 80 FR at 47906.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of Review

We preliminarily determine that the following estimated weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period August 1, 2020, through
July 31, 2021:

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

Disclosure and Public Comment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\16\ See Appendix II for the list of these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
preliminary results to interested parties within five days after the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Interested parties may submit case
briefs or other written comments within 30 days after the date of
publication of these preliminary results of review.\17\ Rebuttal
briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no
later than seven days after the date for filing case briefs.\18\
Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding
are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the
issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of
authorities. Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS.\19\
Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements
for serving documents containing business proprietary information,
until further notice.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\17\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).
\18\ Commerce is exercising its discretion, under 19 CFR
351.309(d)(1), to alter the time limit for filing of rebuttal
briefs.
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements).
\20\ See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements
Due to COVID-19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July
10, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.\21\
Hearing requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case and rebuttal briefs. If a request
for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date
for the hearing.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\21\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\22\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results

Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of all issues raised in
any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the publication of
these preliminary results in the Federal Register, unless otherwise
extended.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\23\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

Upon issuing the final results, Commerce shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\24\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Giti and Sumitomo, Commerce calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
entered value of those sales. Where either a respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\25\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For respondents not individually examined in this administrative
review that qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin calculated using the rates
assigned to Giti and Sumitomo in the final results of this review.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\26\ See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's Republic
of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments: 2014-2015, 81

Determination of No Shipments; 2014-2015, 81 FR 54042 (August 15,

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

Pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice,\27\ for entries that
were not reported in the U.S. data submitted by Giti and Sumitomo, we
will instruct to CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate.
Additionally, where Commerce determines that an exporter under review
had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the
POR, any suspended entries of subject merchandise that entered under
that exporter's CBP case number during the POR will be liquidated at
the dumping margin assigned to the China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\27\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full
discussion of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We intend to liquidate entries containing subject merchandise
exported by the companies under review that we determine in the final
results to be part of the China-wide entity at the China-wide
assessment rate of 76.46 percent.
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on

[[Page 61509]]

entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and
for future deposits of estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.
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 cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the companies
listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
that rate established in the final results of this review (except, if
the rate is zero or de minimis, then a cash deposit rate of zero will
be established for that company); (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed exporters not listed in the final results of review that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter's weighted-average dumping margin published of the most
recently-completed segment of this proceeding; (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
China-wide entity (i.e., 76.46 percent); \28\ and (4) for all exporters
of subject merchandise which are not located in China and are not
eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\28\ See Order, 80 FR at 47906.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties and/or an
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the
countervailing 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 and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
