On November 15, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register the preliminary rescission of the antidumping duty new shipper review (NSR) of chlorinated isocyanurates from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for Heze Huayi Chemical Co.

On December 6, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results of the second administrative review of the antidumping duty order on uncovered innersprings units (``innersprings'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Results. None were received. As such, these final results do not differ from the Preliminary Results. We find that Reztec Industries Sdn Bhd (``Reztec'') did not sell subject merchandise during the period of review (``POR''), February 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011 and, thus we are rescinding the administrative review, in part, with respect to Reztec. We additionally find that Goodnite Sdn Bhd (``Goodnite'') failed to cooperate to the best of its ability when it did not respond to the Department's original questionnaire and, therefore, we have assigned Goodnite's a rate based on total adverse facts available (``AFA''). The final dumping margin for this administrative review is listed in the ``Final Results of Review'' section below.
