review of these producers and/or 

exporters of subject merchandise. 

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. In 

this case, the petitioner timely withdrew 

its request by the 90-day deadline, and 

no other party requested an 

administrative review of the CVD order. 

As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on steel wire garment hangers from 

Vietnam for the period January 1, 2017, 

through December 31, 2017, in its 

entirety. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

CVDs on all appropriate entries. 

Because Commerce is rescinding this 

administrative review in its entirety, the 

entries to which this administrative 

review pertained shall be assessed CVDs 

at rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated CVDs required at the time of 

entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, 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 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. 

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).

Decision Memorandum. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an Appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On July 21, 2017, Yieh Hsing reported 

that it made no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR.8 To confirm Yieh Hsing’s 

claim of no shipments, Commerce 

issued an inquiry to CBP, requesting 

that it review Yieh Hsing’s no-shipment 

claim.9 CBP did not report that it had 

any information to contradict Yieh 

Hsing’s claim of no shipments during 

the POR. 

Given that Yieh Hsing certified that it 

made no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, and there is no information 

calling its claim into question, we 

preliminarily determine that Yieh Hsing 

did not have any reviewable 

transactions during the POR. Consistent 

with Commerce’s practice, we will not 

rescind the review with respect to Yieh 

Hsing but, rather, will complete the 

review and issue instructions to CBP 

based on the final results.10

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period May 1, 

2016, through April 30, 2017: 

Producer/exporter

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with these 

preliminary results within five days of 

the date of publication of this notice.11

Interested parties may submit cases 

briefs no later than 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.12

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed not later 

than five days after the due date for 

filing case briefs.13 Parties who submit 

case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) A statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of 

authorities.14 Case and rebuttal briefs 

should be filed using ACCESS.15 In 

order to be properly filed, ACCESS must 

successfully receive an electronically 

filed document in its entirety by 5 p.m. 

Eastern Time. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice.16 Requests 

should contain: (1) The party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Issues raised in 

the hearing will be limited to those 

raised in the respective case and 

rebuttal briefs. 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this review. 

If the weighted-average dumping 

margin for Shin Yang is not zero or de 

minimis in the final results, then 

Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates. Because Shin 

Yang did not report the entered value of 

its sales, we will calculate importerspecific per-unit duty assessment rates 

by aggregating the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined 

sales of each importer and dividing each 

of these amounts by the total quantity 

(i.e., weight) associated with those sales. 

To determine whether the importerspecific per-unit assessment rates are de 

minimis, in accordance with the 

requirement set forth in 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem rates based 

on estimated entered values. Pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate without regard to 

antidumping duties all entries for which 

the importer-specific ad valorem rate is 

zero or de minimis. 

With respect to Yieh Hsing, if we 

continue to find that Yieh Hsing had no 

shipments of subject merchandise in the 

final results, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any existing entries of 

merchandise produced by Yieh Hsing, 

but exported by other parties, at the rate 

for the intermediate reseller, if available, 

or at the all-others rate.17

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for Shin Yang will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review, except if the rate 

is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; (2) for other manufacturers and

exporters covered in a prior segment of 

the proceeding, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which that manufacturer 

or exporter participated; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the manufacturer of subject 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 9.70 

percent, the all-others rate in the LTFV 

investigation.18 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notifications 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

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

Dated: June 4, 2018.
