SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of this LTFV investigation on 

December 4, 2017.1 Commerce exercised 

its discretion to toll deadlines affected 

by the closure of the Federal 

Government from January 20 through 

22, 2018. The revised deadline for the 

preliminary determination of this 

investigation became April 26, 2018.2

On March 29, 2018, we postponed the 

deadline for the preliminary 

determination by 50 days, in accordance 

with section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 

19 CFR 351.205(b)(2).3 On April 13, 

2018, we clarified that the postponed 

preliminary deadline is June 15, 2018.4

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum that is dated 

concurrently with this determination 

and is hereby adopted by this notice.5 A 

list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as 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 https://access.trade.gov, and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be found at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The 

signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and electronic version of 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

are identical in content. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation (POI) is 

April 1, 2017, through September 30, 

2017. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is aluminum sheet from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix II. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,6 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., ‘‘scope’’).7 We received 

scope comments from interested parties 

between December 18 and December 20, 

2017.8 We received rebuttal scope 

comments from the Aluminum 

Association Common Alloy Sheet Trade 

Enforcement Working Group (the 

Domestic Industry) on January 3, 2018.9

Between March 2 and March 26, 2018, 

we received additional scope comments 

from interested parties,10 and on March 

14, 2018, we received rebuttal scope 

comments from the Domestic 

Industry.11 Based on the comments 

received, for purposes of this 

preliminary determination, we are not 

modifying the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice.12

Methodology 

We are conducting this investigation 

in accordance with section 731 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

We calculated export prices in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Because China is a non-market economy 

within the meaning of section 771(18) of 

the Act, we calculated normal value 

(NV) in accordance with section 773(c) 

of the Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Affirmative Preliminary Determination, 

in Part, of Critical Circumstances 

On March 23, 2018, the Domestic 

Industry timely filed a critical 

circumstances allegation, pursuant to 

section 733(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.206, alleging that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

imports of aluminum sheet from 

China.13 We preliminarily determine 

that critical circumstances exist for 

Nanjie Resources Co., Limited (Nanjie), 

Yong Jie New Material Co., Ltd. (Yong 

Jie New Material), and Zhejiang Yongjie 

Aluminum Co., Ltd. (Yongjie 

Aluminum) (collectively, Yongjie 

Companies); Zhejiang GKO Aluminium 

Stock Co., Ltd. (GKO Aluminium); the 

companies eligible for a separate rate; 

and the China-wide entity. In addition, 

we preliminarily determine that critical 

circumstances do not exist for Henan 

Mingtai Al Industrial Co., Ltd. (Henan 

Mingtai) and Zhengzhou Mingtai 

Industry Co., Ltd. (Zhengzhou Mingtai) 

(collectively, Mingtai). For a full 

description of the methodology and 

results of our analysis, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum and 

Critical Circumstances Memorandum.14

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice, we stated that 

it would calculate combination rates for 

the respondents that are eligible for a

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, we will direct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of aluminum 

sheet from China as described in the 

scope of the investigation section 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. Further, pursuant to section 

733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit equal to the 

weighted-average amount by which 

normal value exceeds U.S. price, as 

indicated in the chart above as follows: 

(1) For the producer/exporter 

combinations listed in the table above, 

the cash deposit rate is equal to the 

estimated weighted average dumping 

margin listed for that combination in the 

table; (2) for all combinations of China 

producers/exporters of merchandise 

under consideration that have not 

established eligibility for their own 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

the China-wide entity; and (3) for all 

third-country exporters of merchandise 

under consideration not listed in the 

table above, the cash deposit rate is the 

cash deposit rate applicable to the China 

producer/exporter combination that 

supplied that third-country exporter. 

Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides 

that, given an affirmative determination 

of critical circumstances, any 

suspension of liquidation shall apply to 

unliquidated entries of merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the later of 

(a) the date which is 90 days before the 

date on which the suspension of 

liquidation was first ordered, or (b) the 

date on which notice of initiation of the 

investigation was published. Commerce 

preliminarily finds that critical 

circumstances exist for imports of 

subject merchandise from Nanjie 

Resources Co., Limited/Yong Jie New 

Material Co., Ltd./Zhejiang Yongjie 

Aluminum Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang GKO 

Aluminium Stock Co., Ltd.; the 

companies eligible for a separate rate; 

and the China-wide entity, as discussed 

above. 

In accordance with section 

733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, the suspension 

of liquidation shall apply to all 

unliquidated entries of merchandise 

from the producer/exporter 

combinations identified in this 

paragraph that were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date which 

is 90 days before the publication of this 

notice. 

The suspension of liquidation will 

remain in effect until further notice.

We will disclose to interested parties 

the calculations performed in this 

proceeding within five days of the date 

of announcement of this preliminary 

determination in accordance with 19

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s 

regulations requires that requests by 

respondents for postponement of a final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

Respondents Mingtai and Yongjie 

Companies requested that, in the event 

of an affirmative preliminary 

determination in this investigation, 

Commerce postpone its final 

determination, i.e., no later than 135 

days after the publication of the 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register, and that Commerce 

extend the application of the 

provisional measures prescribed under 

section 733(d) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2), from a four-month period 

to a period not to exceed six months.24

Additionally, the Domestic Industry 

requested that Commerce postpone its 

final determination and extend the 

application of provisional measures 

from a four-month period to a period 

not to exceed six months.25

In accordance with section 

735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) Our 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, we are postponing the final 

determination until no later than 135 

days after the publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register and extending 

the provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period not greater 

than six months. Accordingly, we will 

issue our final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(a)(2) of the Act.26

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of our 

preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV. If our final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after our final determination 

whether these imports are materially 

injuring, or threaten material injury to, 

the U.S. industry. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(I) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(c).

Appendix II 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is aluminum common alloy 

sheet (common alloy sheet), which is a flatrolled aluminum product having a thickness 

of 6.3 mm or less, but greater than 0.2 mm, 

in coils or cut-to-length, regardless of width. 

Common alloy sheet within the scope of this 

investigation includes both not clad 

aluminum sheet, as well as multi-alloy, clad 

aluminum sheet. With respect to not clad 

aluminum sheet, common alloy sheet is 

manufactured from a 1XXX-, 3XXX-, or 

5XXX-series alloy as designated by the 

Aluminum Association. With respect to 

multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet, common 

alloy sheet is produced from a 3XXX-series 

core, to which cladding layers are applied to 

either one or both sides of the core. 

Common alloy sheet may be made to 

ASTM specification B209–14, but can also be 

made to other specifications. Regardless of 

specification, however, all common alloy 

sheet meeting the scope description is 

included in the scope. Subject merchandise 

includes common alloy sheet that has been 

further processed in a third country, 

including but not limited to annealing, 

tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming, 

cutting, punching, and/or slitting, or any 

other processing that would not otherwise 

remove the merchandise from the scope of 

the investigations if performed in the country 

of manufacture of the common alloy sheet. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation is aluminum can stock, which 

is suitable for use in the manufacture of 

aluminum beverage cans, lids of such cans, 

or tabs used to open such cans. Aluminum 

can stock is produced to gauges that range 

from 0.200 mm to 0.292 mm, and has an H– 

19, H–41, H–48, or H–391 temper. In 

addition, aluminum can stock has a lubricant

5With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins calculated for the examined respondents 

applied to the flat surfaces of the can stock 

to facilitate its movement through machines 

used in the manufacture of beverage cans. 

Aluminum can stock is properly classified 

under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

7606.12.3045 and 7606.12.3055. 

Where the nominal and actual 

measurements vary, a product is within the 

scope if application of either the nominal or 

actual measurement would place it within 

the scope based on the definitions set for the 

above. 

Common alloy sheet is currently 

classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 

7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3090, 

7606.12.6000, 7606.91.3090, 7606.91.6080, 

7606.92.3090, and 7606.92.6080. Further, 

merchandise that falls within the scope of 

this investigation may also be entered into 

the United States under HTSUS subheadings 

7606.11.3030, 7606.12.3030, 7606.91.3060, 

7606.91.6040, 7606.92.3060, 7606.92.6040, 

7607.11.9090. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this investigation 

is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 2, 2018, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination of sales at LTFV of TRBs 

from Korea.1 A summary of the events 

that occurred since Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination, as well as a full 

discussion of the issues raised by parties 

for this final determination, may be 

found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, which is adopted by this 

notice.2

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is TRBs from Korea. For a 

full description of the scope of this 

investigation, see the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation’’ in Appendix I of this 

notice. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum 

accompanying this notice. A list of the 

issues addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is attached to 

this notice as Appendix II. The Issues 

and 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 https://

access.trade.gov, and it is available to 

all parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room B–8024 of the main Department 

of Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

frn/index.html. The signed and 

electronic versions of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act) 

from February through April 2018, we 

conducted verification of the sales and 

cost information submitted by Iljin 

Group 3 and Schaeffler Korea 

Corporation (Schaeffler) (collectively, 

the respondents) for use in our final 

determination. We used standard 

verification procedures, including an 

examination of relevant accounting and 

production records, and original source 

documents provided by the 

respondents.4

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received and our findings at 

verification, we made certain changes to 

the margin calculations for each of the 

respondents. For a discussion of these 

changes, see the ‘‘Margin Calculations’’ 

section of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually examined, excluding rates 

that are zero, de minimis or determined 

entirely under section 776 of the Act. 

For the final determination, Commerce 

calculated the ‘‘all others’’ rate based on 

a weighted average of Iljin Group’s and 

Schaeffler’s margins using publiclyranged quantities of their sales of 

subject merchandise.5
