# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On September 3, 2020, based on timely requests for review by Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the petitioner), a domestic producer and                           ( print page 79471)                        interested party,[1]                                          and nine Taiwanese companies,[2]                                          Commerce published in the                     **Federal Register**                     a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails from Taiwan covering 141 companies and the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.[3] 

                    On September 21, 2020, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for administrative review of all companies originally requested, except for one company, Create Trading Co., Ltd.[4]                                          As noted above, nine Taiwanese companies also self-requested an administrative review. On October 15, 2020, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce rescinded the administrative review, in part, of all companies under review except for Create Trading Co., Ltd. and the nine companies that self-requested an administrative review and for which their requests for review had not been withdrawn at that time.[5]                                          Subsequently, on November 30, 2020, the nine Taiwanese companies timely withdrew their requests for review.[6] 

## Partial Rescission of Review

                    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Because all requests for administrative review of the nine companies that self-requested review were withdrawn within 90 days of the date of publication of the                     *Initiation Notice*                     and no other interested party requested a review of these nine companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to these companies: (1) China Staple Enterprise Corporation, (2) Hor Liang Industrial Corp., (3) Hoyi Plus Co., Ltd., (4) Liang Chyuan Industrial Co., Ltd., (5) Romp Coil Nail Industries Inc., (6) Trim International Inc., (7) UJL Industries Co., Ltd., (8) Yu Chi Hardware Co., Ltd., and (9) Zon Mon Co., Ltd.                

                    The administrative review remains active only with respect to Create Trading Co., Ltd., which has filed a certification of no reviewable sales.[7] 

## Assessment

                    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice in the                     **Federal Register**                    .                

## Notification to Importers

This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

## Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written 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 terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: December 7, 2020.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
