SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 12, 2019, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of the 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on cold-rolled 

steel from Korea.1 On April 24, 2020, 

Commerce tolled all deadlines in 

administrative reviews by 50 days.2 On 

July 6, 2020, Commerce extended the 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this review.3 On July 21, 2020, 

Commerce tolled all deadlines in 

administrative reviews by an additional 

60 days.4 On December 15, 2020, 

Commerce further extended the 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this review.5 The revised deadline for 

the preliminary results is January 15, 

2021. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included at the 

Appendix I to this notice. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

7064 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 26, 2021 / Notices 

7See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act 

regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) 

of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of 

the Act regarding specificity. 

8With two respondents under review, Commerce 

normally calculates: (A) A weighted-average of the 

estimated subsidy rates calculated for the examined 

respondents using each examined respondent’s 

business proprietary U.S. sales quantity of the 

subject merchandise; (B) a simple average of the 

estimated subsidy rats calculated for the examined 

respondents; and (C) a weighted-average of the 

estimated subsidy rates calculated for the examined 

respondents using each company’s publicly-ranged 

U.S. sales quantities of the subject merchandise. 

Commerce then compares (B) and (C) to (A) and 

selects the rate closest to (A) as the most 

appropriate rate for the producers and exporters 

subject to this review that were not selected for 

individual examination.

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is cold-rolled steel. For a complete 

description of the scope of the order, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution 

from an authority that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.7 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

For the companies not selected for 

individual review, because the rates 

calculated for Hyundai Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Hyundai Steel) and Dongbu Steel Co., 

Ltd. (Dongbu) were above de minimis 

and not based entirely on facts 

available, we applied a subsidy rate 

based on a weighted-average of the 

subsidy rates calculated for Hyundai 

Steel and Dongbu using publicly ranged 

sales data submitted by respondents.8

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

net countervailable subsidy rates exist 

for the period January 1, 2018 through 

December 31, 2018: 

Company 

Net countervailable 

subsidy rate

Assessment Rate 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Rate 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties in the amount 

indicated above with regard to 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the most recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

parties to this proceeding the 

calculations performed in reaching the 

preliminary results within five days 

after the date of publication of these 

preliminary results.10 Case briefs or 

other written comments may be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance at a date 

to be determined. Rebuttal comments 

(rebuttal briefs), limited to issues raised 

in case briefs, within seven days 11 after 

the time limit for filing case briefs. 

Parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs are requested to submit 

with each argument: (1) A statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.13

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing must do so within 30 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

by submitting a written request to the 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance using Enforcement and 

Compliance’s ACCESS system.14

list of the issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case and 

rebuttal briefs.15 If a request for a 

hearing is made, Commerce intends to 

hold the hearing at a time and date to 

be determined.16 Parties should confirm 

the date and time of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. 

Parties are reminded that all briefs 

and hearing requests must be filed 

electronically using ACCESS and 

received successfully in their entirety by

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is rescinding the 

administrative review, in part, of the 

antidumping duty order on certain steel 

nails (nails) from the People’s Republic 

of China (China) for the period August

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 6, 2020, based on timely 

requests for review for 448 companies 

by Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the 

petitioner); 1 two companies by Qingdao 

D&L Group Ltd. (Qingdao D&L) and 

Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. 

(Tianjin Zhonglian); 2 and two 

companies by Shanghai Yueda Nails 

Industry Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Shanghai 

Yueda Nails Co. (Shanghai Yueda) and 

Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd 

(Tianjin Jinchi),3 Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on nails 

from China covering the period August 

1, 2019 through July 31, 2020.4

On October 20, 2020, the petitioner 

withdrew its request for administrative 

review on Oriental Cherry Hardware 

Group., Ltd., Youngwoo Fasteners Co., 

Ltd., China Staple Enterprise Co., Ltd., 

Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd., 

and Promising Way (Hong Kong) Ltd.5

No other party requested a review of 

these companies. 

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 date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review. Because all requests for an 

administrative review of Oriental Cherry 

Hardware Group., Ltd., Youngwoo 

Fasteners Co., Ltd., China Staple 

Enterprise Co., Ltd., Faithful 

Engineering Products Co., Ltd., and 

Promising Way (Hong Kong) Ltd. were 

withdrawn within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the Initiation Notice, and 

no other interested party requested a 

review of these companies, Commerce is 

rescinding this review with respect to 

these companies in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(1). The administrative 

review remains active with respect to all 

other companies for which a review was 

initiated. 

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 August 

1, 2019 through July 31, 2020, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

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 Orders 

This notice also serves as a final 

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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

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).
