costs incurred between the PRC 

supplier and Hangzhou.

• To value foreign brokerage and 

handling, we used information 

reported in the Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value; 

Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon Steel 

Flat Products from India, 67 FR 

50406 (October 3, 2001). We 

adjusted this value to reflect 

inflation using the WPI published 

by the RBI.

• To value truck freight, we used the 

freight rates published in the Great 

Indian Bazaar at http://

www.infobanc.com/logtruck.htm. 

We obtained distances between 

cities from the following website: 

http://www.mapsofindia.com. We 

deflated this value using the WPI 

published by the RBI.

For a complete description of the 

factor values we used, see

‘‘Memorandum to File: Factor Values 

Used for the Preliminary Results of the 

2002–2003 Administrative Review,’’

dated November 1, 2004 (Factors 

Memorandum), a public version of 

which is available in the Public File of 

the CRU.

Preliminary Results of Review

We preliminarily determine that the 

following dumping margin exists:

Manufacturer/exporter Time Period Margin (percent) 

Hang Zhou Spring Washer Co. Ltd./Zhejiang Wanxin Group, Ltd. .................... 10/1/02–9/30/03 0.00

We will disclose the calculations used 

in our analysis to parties to this 

proceeding within five days of the 

publication date of this notice. See 19 

CFR 351.224(b). Interested parties are 

invited to comment on the preliminary 

results. Interested parties may submit 

case briefs within 30 days of the date of 

publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed no later than 37 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice. Parties who submit arguments 

are requested to submit with each 

argument a statement of the issue, a 

brief summary of the argument, and a 

table of authorities.

Further, we would appreciate it if 

parties submitting written comments 

would provide an additional copy of the 

public version of any such comments on 

a diskette. Any interested party may 

request a hearing within 30 days of 

publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 

351.310(c). If requested, a hearing will 

be held 44 days after the publication of 

this notice or the first workday 

thereafter. The Department will publish 

a notice of the final results of this 

administrative review, which will 

include the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any written comments 

or hearing, within 120 days from 

publication of this notice.

Assessment

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), the 

Department calculated an assessment 

rate for each importer of subject 

merchandise. Upon completion of this 

review, the Department will instruct 

CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise. We have calculated each 

importer’s duty–assessment rate based 

on the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales to the total quantity of 

sales examined. Where the assessment 

rate is above de minimis, the importer–

specific rate will be assessed uniformly 

on all entries made during the POR.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit rates will 

be effective upon publication of the 

final results for all shipments of HSLWs 

from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the publication date, as provided 

for by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for 

Hangzhou, which has a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the 

company–specific rate established in 

the final results of review; (2) for all 

other PRC exporters, the cash deposit 

rate will be the PRC rate, 128.63 

percent, which is the ‘‘All Other PRC 

Manufacturers, Producers and 

Exporters’’ rate from the Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Certain Helical Spring Lock 

Washers from the People’s Republic of 

China, 58 FR 48833 (September 20, 

1993); and (3) for non–PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise from the PRC, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC supplier of that 

exporter. These deposit rates, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

publication of the final results of the 

next administrative review.

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties.

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: November 1, 2004.

James J. Jochum,

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
