We received comments from interested
parties on the Preliminary Scope
Decision Memorandum, which we
addressed in the Final Scope Decision
Memorandum.4 We did not make any
changes to the scope of the investigation
from the scope published in the
Preliminary Determination.
Verification
Commerce verified the sales and cost
information submitted by Triune
Technofab Private Limited (Triune) for
use in our final determination,
consistent with section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Specifically, Commerce conducted onsite verifications of the home market
sales and cost of production responses
submitted by Triune. We used standard
verification procedures, including an
examination of relevant sales and
accounting records, and original source
documents provided by Triune.5
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs submitted by interested
parties in this investigation are
discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues raised
is attached to this notice as Appendix II.
Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
We are incorporating Triune’s revised
U.S. sales database submitted on
January 9, 2024, which reflects changes
from minor corrections Triune
submitted at verification.6 For
additional details, see the Final
Analysis Memorandum.7
Final Determination
The final estimated weighted-average
dumping margin is as follows:
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
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 the terms of an APO is
0.00 a violation subject to sanction.
Estimated
weightedaverage
dumping
margin
(percent)
Exporter/producer
Triune Technofab Private
Limited ...............................
Commerce determines that Triune,
the only individually examined
respondent, has not made sales of
subject merchandise at LTFV.
Accordingly, Commerce has not
calculated an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other
producers and exporters pursuant to
sections 735(c)(1)(B) and (c)(5) of the
Act because it has not made an
affirmative determination of sales at
LTFV.
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its
calculations performed to interested
parties in this final determination
within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Suspension of Liquidation
In the Preliminary Determination, the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin for Triune was zero percent and,
therefore, we did not suspend
liquidation of entries of boltless steel
shelving from India.8 Because
Commerce has made a final negative
determination of sales at LTFV with
regard to the subject merchandise,
Commerce will not direct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to suspend
liquidation or to require a cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties for
entries of boltless steel shelving from
India.

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation covers
boltless steel shelving units prepackaged for
sale, with or without decks (boltless steel
shelving). The term ‘‘prepackaged for sale’’
means that, at a minimum, the steel vertical
supports (i.e., uprights and posts) and steel
horizontal supports (i.e., beams, braces)
necessary to assemble a completed shelving
unit (with or without decks) are packaged
together for ultimate purchase by the enduser. The scope also includes add-on kits.
Add-on kits include, but are not limited to,
kits that allow the end-user to add an
extension shelving unit onto an existing
boltless steel shelving unit such that the
extension and the original unit will share
common frame elements (e.g., two posts).
The term ‘‘boltless’’ refers to steel shelving in
which the vertical and horizontal supports
forming the frame are assembled primarily
without the use of nuts and bolts, or screws.
The vertical and horizontal support members
for boltless steel shelving are assembled by
methods such as, but not limited to, fitting
a rivet, punched or cut tab, or other similar
connector on one support into a hole, slot or
similar receptacle on another support. The
supports lock together to form the frame for
the shelving unit, and provide the structural
integrity of the shelving unit separate from
the inclusion of any decking. The incidental
use of nuts and bolts, or screws to add
accessories, wall anchors, tie-bars or shelf
supports does not remove the product from
scope. Boltless steel shelving units may also
come packaged as partially assembled, such
as when two upright supports are welded
together with front-to-back supports, or are
otherwise connected, to form an end unit for
the frame. The boltless steel shelving covered
by these investigations may be commonly
described as rivet shelving, welded frame
shelving, slot and tab shelving, and punched
rivet (quasi-rivet) shelving as well as by other
trade names. The term ‘‘deck’’ refers to the
shelf that sits on or fits into the horizontal
supports (beams or braces) to provide the
horizontal storage surface of the shelving
unit.
The scope includes all boltless steel
shelving meeting the description above,
E:\FR\FM\19APN1.SGM
19APN1
28748
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 77 / Friday, April 19, 2024 / Notices
regardless of: (1)Vertical support or post type
(including but not limited to open post,
closed post and tubing); (2) horizontal
support or beam/brace profile (including but
not limited to Z-beam, C-beam, L-beam, step
beam and cargo rack); (3) number of
supports; (4) surface coating (including but
not limited to paint, epoxy, powder coating,
zinc and other metallic coating); (5) number
of levels; (6) weight capacity; (7) shape
(including but not limited to rectangular,
square, and corner units); (8) decking
material (including but not limited to wire
decking, particle board, laminated board or
no deck at all); or (9) the boltless method by
which vertical and horizontal supports
connect (including but not limited to keyhole
and rivet, slot and tab, welded frame,
punched rivet and clip).
Specifically excluded from the scope are:
• wall-mounted shelving, defined as
shelving that is hung on the wall and does
not stand on, or transfer load to, the floor.
The addition of a wall bracket or other device
to attach otherwise freestanding subject
merchandise to a wall does not meet the
terms of this exclusion;
• wire shelving units, which consist of
shelves made from wire that incorporates
both a wire deck and wire horizontal
supports (taking the place of the horizontal
beams and braces) into a single piece with
tubular collars that slide over the posts and
onto plastic sleeves snapped on the posts to
create the finished shelving unit;
• bulk-packed parts or components of
boltless steel shelving units; and
• made-to-order shelving systems.
Subject boltless steel shelving enters the
United States through Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
statistical subheading 9403.20.0075. While
the HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.

MBDA’s Office of Legislative,
Education, and Intergovernmental
Affairs (OLEIA) serves as the focal point
for Tribal consultation on policy,
regulatory and legislative issues that
will have a direct impact on American
Indian, Alaska Native, and Native
Hawaiian (AIANNH) communities. The
Tribal consultation meetings will be
conducted in conjunction with MBDA’s
Office of Business Centers, Office of
Data, Research and Evaluation and
Office of Grants Management which
document evidence and design and
manage business development services,
including services that may be of
interest to Native American, Alaska
Native and Native Hawaiian
entrepreneurs and Tribe-owned
businesses. Outreach specific to the
AIANNH populations is one part of the
overall efforts of MBDA to ensure
members of Native communities are
able to learn about and access programs
and services.
MBDA is the only Federal agency
created specifically to foster the growth
and global competitiveness of minority
business enterprises (MBEs). MBDA
actively promotes the growth and
expansion of MBEs by offering
management and technical assistance,
including through a nationwide network
of AIANNH projects.
AIANNH projects address strategic
initiatives that may include innovation
and entrepreneurship (e.g., business
training, access to capital, incubators,
accelerators, Federal program coaching);
strategic planning (e.g., fostering,
developing and/or implementing
entrepreneurial and economic
development); and transformative
projects (e.g., support for MBEs
involved in infrastructure focused
public-private partnerships, and
broadband).

Verification
Commerce verified the sales and cost information submitted by
Triune Technofab Private Limited (Triune) for use in our final
determination, consistent with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). Specifically, Commerce conducted on-site
verifications of the home market sales and cost of production responses
submitted by Triune. We used standard verification procedures,
including an examination of relevant sales and accounting records, and
original source documents provided by Triune.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Memoranda, ``Verification of Cost Response of Triune
Technofab Private Limited in the Antidumping Investigation of

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by
interested parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to
this notice as Appendix II.
Changes Since the Preliminary Determination
We are incorporating Triune's revised U.S. sales database submitted
on January 9, 2024, which reflects changes from minor corrections
Triune submitted at verification.\6\ For additional details, see the
Final Analysis Memorandum.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Sales Verification Report at 2.
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Triune Technofab Private Limited Final
Determination Analysis,'' dated concurrently with this notice (Final
Analysis Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination
The final estimated weighted-average dumping margin is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated
weighted-
Exporter/producer average
dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triune Technofab Private Limited........................ 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce determines that Triune, the only individually examined
respondent, has not made sales of subject merchandise at LTFV.
Accordingly, Commerce has not calculated an estimated weighted-average
dumping margin for all other producers and exporters pursuant to
sections 735(c)(1)(B) and (c)(5) of the Act because it has not made an
affirmative determination of sales at LTFV.
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations performed to
interested parties in this final determination within five days of any
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Suspension of Liquidation
In the Preliminary Determination, the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin for Triune was zero percent and, therefore, we did not
suspend liquidation of entries of boltless steel shelving from
India.\8\ Because Commerce has made a final negative determination of
sales at LTFV with regard to the subject merchandise, Commerce will not
direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation or to
require a cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties for entries of
boltless steel shelving from India.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Preliminary Determination, 88 FR at 83396.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify
the U.S. International Trade Commission of its final negative
determination of sales at LTFV. As our final determination is negative,
this proceeding is terminated in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of
the Act.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the final reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 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 the terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This final determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c).
Dated: April 12, 2024.

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation covers boltless steel shelving
units prepackaged for sale, with or without decks (boltless steel
shelving). The term ``prepackaged for sale'' means that, at a
minimum, the steel vertical supports (i.e., uprights and posts) and
steel horizontal supports (i.e., beams, braces) necessary to
assemble a completed shelving unit (with or without decks) are
packaged together for ultimate purchase by the end-user. The scope
also includes add-on kits. Add-on kits include, but are not limited
to, kits that allow the end-user to add an extension shelving unit
onto an existing boltless steel shelving unit such that the
extension and the original unit will share common frame elements
(e.g., two posts). The term ``boltless'' refers to steel shelving in
which the vertical and horizontal supports forming the frame are
assembled primarily without the use of nuts and bolts, or screws.
The vertical and horizontal support members for boltless steel
shelving are assembled by methods such as, but not limited to,
fitting a rivet, punched or cut tab, or other similar connector on
one support into a hole, slot or similar receptacle on another
support. The supports lock together to form the frame for the
shelving unit, and provide the structural integrity of the shelving
unit separate from the inclusion of any decking. The incidental use
of nuts and bolts, or screws to add accessories, wall anchors, tie-
bars or shelf supports does not remove the product from scope.
Boltless steel shelving units may also come packaged as partially
assembled, such as when two upright supports are welded together
with front-to-back supports, or are otherwise connected, to form an
end unit for the frame. The boltless steel shelving covered by these
investigations may be commonly described as rivet shelving, welded
frame shelving, slot and tab shelving, and punched rivet (quasi-
rivet) shelving as well as by other trade names. The term ``deck''
refers to the shelf that sits on or fits into the horizontal
supports (beams or braces) to provide the horizontal storage surface
of the shelving unit.
The scope includes all boltless steel shelving meeting the
description above,
[[Page 28748]]
regardless of: (1)Vertical support or post type (including but not
limited to open post, closed post and tubing); (2) horizontal
support or beam/brace profile (including but not limited to Z-beam,
C-beam, L-beam, step beam and cargo rack); (3) number of supports;
(4) surface coating (including but not limited to paint, epoxy,
powder coating, zinc and other metallic coating); (5) number of
levels; (6) weight capacity; (7) shape (including but not limited to
rectangular, square, and corner units); (8) decking material
(including but not limited to wire decking, particle board,
laminated board or no deck at all); or (9) the boltless method by
which vertical and horizontal supports connect (including but not
limited to keyhole and rivet, slot and tab, welded frame, punched
rivet and clip).
Specifically excluded from the scope are:
wall-mounted shelving, defined as shelving that is hung
on the wall and does not stand on, or transfer load to, the floor.
The addition of a wall bracket or other device to attach otherwise
freestanding subject merchandise to a wall does not meet the terms
of this exclusion;
wire shelving units, which consist of shelves made from
wire that incorporates both a wire deck and wire horizontal supports
(taking the place of the horizontal beams and braces) into a single
piece with tubular collars that slide over the posts and onto
plastic sleeves snapped on the posts to create the finished shelving
unit;
bulk-packed parts or components of boltless steel
shelving units; and
made-to-order shelving systems.
Subject boltless steel shelving enters the United States through
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) statistical
subheading 9403.20.0075. While the HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the
scope of this investigation is dispositive.
