Background

    On September 3, 2020, based on timely requests for review by Mid 
Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the petitioner), a domestic producer and

[[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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated July 31, 2020 (Petitioner's Review Request).
    \2\ See Letter, ``Administrative Review Request,'' dated July 
31, 2020, collectively from: Liang Chyuan Industrial Co., Ltd., Romp 
Coil Nail Industries Inc., UJL Industries Co., Ltd., Hor Liang 
Industrial Corp., Yu Chi Hardware Co., Ltd., Trim International 
Inc., China Staple Enterprise Corporation, Hoyi Plus Co., Ltd., and 
Zon Mon Co., Ltd.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 54983 (September 3, 2020) (Initiation 
Notice). As the Petitioner's Review Request included three instances 
of duplicated company names, Commerce only counted the duplicated 
company names one time upon initiation, with the exception of Yu Chi 
Hardware Co., Ltd. which the petitioner listed twice and was also 
inadvertently listed twice in the Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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October 15, 2020, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce rescinded 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review had not been withdrawn at that time.\5\ Subsequently, on 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Reviews,'' dated September 21, 2020.
    \5\ See Certain Steel Nails From Taiwan: Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2019-2020, 85 FR 65366 
(October 15, 2020) (First Partial Rescission).
    \6\ See Letter, ``Withdrawal of Administrative Review Request,'' 
dated November 30, 2020, collectively from: Liang Chyuan Industrial 
Co., Ltd., Romp Coil Nail Industries Inc., UJL Industries Co., Ltd., 
Hor Liang Industrial Corp., Yu Chi Hardware Co., Ltd., Trim 
International Inc., China Staple Enterprise Corporation, Hoyi Plus 
Co., Ltd., and Zon Mon Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Create Trading Co., Ltd.'s Letter, ``Statement of No 
Sales to the United States,'' dated September 21, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
