SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), on June 16, 2008, the Department 
published Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China: 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Partial 
Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 73 FR 33977 (June 
16, 2008) (``Final Determination'').

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this proceeding includes certain steel 
nails having a shaft length up to 12 inches. Certain steel nails 
include, but are not limited to, nails made of round wire and nails 
that are cut. Certain steel nails may be of one piece construction or 
constructed of two or more pieces. Certain steel nails may be produced 
from any type of steel, and have a variety of finishes, heads, shanks, 
point types, shaft lengths and shaft diameters. Finishes include, but 
are not limited to, coating in vinyl, zinc (galvanized, whether by 
electroplating or hot-dipping one or more times), phosphate cement, and 
paint. Head styles include, but are not limited to, flat, projection, 
cupped, oval, brad, headless, double, countersunk, and sinker. Shank 
styles include, but are not limited to, smooth, barbed, screw threaded, 
ring shank and fluted shank styles. Screw-threaded nails subject to 
this proceeding are driven using direct force and not by turning the 
fastener using a tool that engages with the head. Point styles include, 
but are not limited to, diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and no point. 
Finished nails may be sold in bulk, or they may be collated into strips 
or coils using materials such as plastic, paper, or wire. Certain steel 
nails subject to this proceeding are currently classified under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') subheadings 
7317.00.55, 7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75.
    Excluded from the scope of this proceeding are roofing nails of all 
lengths and diameter, whether collated or in bulk, and whether or not 
galvanized. Steel roofing nails are specifically enumerated and 
identified in ASTM Standard F 1667 (2005 revision) as Type I, Style 20 
nails. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are corrugated 
nails. A corrugated nail is made of a small strip of corrugated steel 
with sharp points on one side. Also excluded from the scope of this 
proceeding are fasteners suitable for use in powder-actuated hand 
tools, not threaded and threaded, which are currently classified under 
HTSUS 7317.00.20 and 7317.00.30. Also excluded from the scope of this 
proceeding are thumb tacks, which are currently classified under HTSUS 
7317.00.10.00. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are 
certain

[[Page 44962]]

brads and finish nails that are equal to or less than 0.0720 inches in 
shank diameter, round or rectangular in cross section, between 0.375 
inches and 2.5 inches in length, and that are collated with adhesive or 
polyester film tape backed with a heat seal adhesive. Also excluded 
from the scope of this proceeding are fasteners having a case hardness 
greater than or equal to 50 HRC, a carbon content greater than or equal 
to 0.5 percent, a round head, a secondary reduced-diameter raised head 
section, a centered shank, and a smooth symmetrical point, suitable for 
use in gas-actuated hand tools.
    While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and 
customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this 
investigation is dispositive.

Ministerial Error Allegations

    On June 16, 2008, ITW \1\ and Xingya Group \2\ filed timely 
allegations that the Department made certain ministerial errors in the 
calculation of their respective antidumping duty margins. Petitioners 
\3\ made no ministerial error allegations but on June 23, 2008, 
submitted timely rebuttal comments to ITW's and Xingya Group's 
allegations. Ministerial errors are defined in section 735(e) of the 
Act as ``errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, 
clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the 
like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the 
{Secretary{time}  considers ministerial.''

Comment 1: Improper Application of Partial Adverse Facts Available 
(``AFA'') for ITW's Indirect Labor

    ITW contends that the Department ignored the arguments it submitted 
in its rebuttal brief, evidencing that ITW properly reported all 
indirect labor hours. ITW further contends that the Department's Issues 
and Decision Memorandum (``IDM'') that accompanied the Final 
Determination did not reflect an examination of the record evidence it 
cited in support of its argument, specifically exhibits 18A and 18B of 
the Department's Paslode Shanghai Verification Report.\4\ ITW concludes 
that the Department should correct this oversight, including both the 
margin calculation and the incorrect statements in the IDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manager, Office 9, from Nicole Bankhead, Senior Case Analyst: 
Verification of the Sales and Factors Response of Paslode Fasteners 
(Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in the Antidumping Investigation of Certain 
Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China, dated April 15, 
2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In rebuttal, Petitioners argue that the Department explicitly 
summarized and noted ITW's arguments and correctly rejected them in 
weighing the evidence and rendering its decision. Petitioners contend 
that ITW's allegation is both contrary to the record evidence and does 
not constitute a ministerial error within the meaning of 19 CFR 
351.224. Petitioners conclude that the Department's determination was 
deliberate and reflects a decision based on the record evidence and 
argument.

Analysis

    We disagree with ITW that we made a ministerial error in applying 
partial AFA to its indirect labor factor of production (``FOP''). ITW's 
disagreement with our application of partial AFA is methodological, 
rather than ministerial, in nature. We affirmatively addressed this 
issue, including ITW's arguments, in Comment 20F of our IDM and 
explained that the record supported our finding that ITW failed to 
account for certain indirect labor workers in its FOP data.

Comment 2: Improper Exclusion of Indian Imports of North Korean 
Merchandise for Three Surrogate Values

    Xingya Group argues that the Department improperly excluded Indian 
imports of North Korean merchandise from the calculation of the 
surrogate values for three FOPs (collating copper-plated wire, 
collating stainless steel wire, and ink). Xingya Group states that it 
is the Department's normal policy to include data from countries such 
as North Korea for which it has not made a determination as to their 
non-market economy (``NME'') status. Xingya Group cites to the final 
determination of the PRC Furniture investigation, where the Department 
included Indian imports of plywood from Myanmar, even though 
respondents alleged it was a NME. See Final Determination of Sales at 
Less than Fair Value: Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's 
Republic of China, 69 FR 67313 (November 17, 2004), and accompanying 
Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 70 (``PRC Furniture'').
    In rebuttal, Petitioners contend that the Department correctly 
excluded the Indian imports of North Korean merchandise. Petitioners 
note that in PRC Furniture, the Department's ultimate decision did not 
require addressing Myanmar's status as an NME country. Petitioners 
further note that the Department has more recent, direct precedent with 
respect to North Korea, citing to Helical Spring Lock Washers from the 
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 73 FR 4175 (January 24, 2008), and accompanying 
Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3 (``Helical Spring Lock 
Washers''), ``Consistent with our determination in fish fillets from 
Vietnam, we have excluded Indian imports from North Korea from our 
stainless SWR surrogate value calculation.'' Additionally, Petitioners 
note that even though there has never been a U.S. antidumping duty case 
against North Korean imports requiring NME analysis, the Department may 
determine to exclude a country's trade data as being non-market without 
a case history. See http://ia/ita.doc.gov/admanual/admanual_ch08.pdf.

Analysis

    The Department's decision to exclude Indian imports of North Korean 
merchandise was also methodological rather than clerical in nature. As 
the two alleged errors discussed above do not meet the definition of a 
ministerial error under 19 CFR 351.224(f), we are not issuing an 
amended final determination.

Antidumping Duty Order

    On July 21, 2008, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the 
ITC notified the Department of its final determination, pursuant to 
section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an industry in the United 
States is materially injured by reason of less-than-fair-value imports 
of subject merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess, upon further instruction by 
the Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the 
normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or 
constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries 
of certain steel nails from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be 
assessed on all unliquidated entries of certain steel nails from the 
PRC entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption on or 
after January 23, 2008, the date on which the Department

[[Page 44963]]

published its preliminary determination. See Certain Steel Nails from 
the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of Sales at 
Less Than Fair Value and Partial Affirmative Determination of Critical 
Circumstances and Postponement of Final Determination, 73 FR 3928 
(January 23, 2008) (``Preliminary Determination'').
    The ITC also notified the Department that it made a negative 
critical circumstances determination in this investigation. Therefore, 
we will instruct CBP to lift suspension, release any bond or other 
security, and refund any cash deposit made to secure the payment of 
antidumping duties with respect to entries of the merchandise entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after October 25, 
2007, but before January 23, 2008 (i.e., the 90 days prior to the date 
of publication of the Preliminary Determination).
    Effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative 
injury determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers 
would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash 
deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty 
margins as listed below. See section 735(c)(3) of the Act. The ``PRC-
wide'' rate applies to all exporters of subject merchandise not 
specifically listed. The weighted-average dumping margins are as 
follows:
