SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on certain 

corrosion-resistant steel products 

(CORE) from Taiwan.1 The period of 

review (POR) is June 2, 2016, through 

June 30, 2017. We initially selected two 

companies, Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd. 

(SYSCO), and the previously collapsed 

Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd. 

(Prosperity), Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., 

Ltd. (YP), and Synn Industrial Co., Ltd. 

(Synn) entity (collectively, YP/Synn/ 

Prosperity entity), for individual 

examination.2 For a complete 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
39680 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2018 / Notices 

People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea 

and Taiwan: Amended Final Affirmative 

Antidumping Determination for India and Taiwan, 

and Antidumping Duty Orders, 82 FR 48390 (July 

25, 2016) (Order). No party challenged the 

underlying collapsing finding with respect to YP 

and Synn in the instant review and, as such, we 

preliminarily determine to collapse YP with its 

affiliate Synn and thus continue to collapse YP and 

Synn as a single entity for the purposes of this 

proceeding. For a further discussion of the 

affiliation and collapsing determinations, see 

memorandum, ‘‘Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Certain CorrosionResistant Steel Products from Taiwan: Preliminary 

Affiliation and Collapsing Memorandum for Yieh 

Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. and Synn Industrial Co., 

Ltd.,’’ dated concurrently with this memorandum 

(Affiliation-Collapsing Memo). Also, in the LTFV 

investigation, we collapsed Prosperity with Synn, 

and thereby collapsed Prosperity, Synn, and YP 

into a single entity, called the YP/Synn/Prosperity 

entity. See Taiwan CORE LTFV Final. This 

determination was challenged by respondent 

parties in the investigation and is subject to 

pending litigation in that proceeding. As discussed 

in greater detail in the Affiliation-Collapsing Memo, 

we find that the facts on the instant record do not 

support a finding that Prosperity, YP, and Synn be 

treated as a single entity for the purposes of this 

administrative review. However, we preliminarily 

determine to continue to collapse YP and Synn into 

the YP/Synn entity. Therefore, though only two 

respondents were selected for individual 

examination at the outset of the instant review, as 

a result of the preliminary affiliation/collapsing 

determination, Commerce is effectively reviewing 

three respondents, YP/Synn, SYSCO, and 

Prosperity for individual examination. 

3See memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for 

the Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain 

Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from Taiwan, 

2016–2017,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby 

adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum). 

4See Initiation Notice. 

5As described above, YP and Synn are treated as 

a single entity for purposes of these preliminary 

results. See Affiliation-Collapsing Memo. 

6For the full text of the scope of the order, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

7This rate is based on the rates for the 

respondents that were selected for individual 

review, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis or 

based entirely on facts available. See section 

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

8 In these preliminary results, Commerce applied 

the assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: See Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 

Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 

(February 14, 2012). 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 A 

list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as an Appendix to this notice. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

We initiated the instant review on 

eight companies (including companies 

collapsed and collectively treated as a 

single entity in the LTFV 

investigation).4 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), we will rescind an 

administrative review, ‘‘in whole or in 

part, if a party that requested a review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of notice of 

initiation of the requested review.’’ 

Because all relevant parties timely 

withdrew their requests for review of 

certain companies listed in the 

Initiation Notice, we are rescinding the 

administrative review with respect to 

the following three companies: Great 

Grandeul Steel Co., Ltd., Meng Sin 

Material Co., Ltd., and Xxentria 

Technology Materials Co., Ltd. 

Accordingly, the remaining companies 

subject to the instant review are 

Prosperity, YP/Synn,5 SYSCO, and 

Chung Hung Steel Corporation. 

Scope of the Order 6

The product covered by the order is 

flat-rolled steel products, either clad, 

plated, or coated with corrosionresistant metals such as zinc, aluminum, 

or zinc-, aluminum-, nickel- or ironbased alloys, whether or not corrugated 

or painted, varnished, laminated, or 

coated with plastics or other nonmetallic substances in addition to the 

metallic coating. The subject

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 

(2) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Export and constructed export 

price were calculated in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Normal 

value is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 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 is 

available 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 accessed directly on the internet at 

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

index.html. The signed Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum and the 

electronic version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

We preliminarily determine the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the POR: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Chung Hung Steel Corporation .. 7 2.52 

Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., 

Ltd ........................................... 3.04 

Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. 

and Synn Industrial Co., Ltd ... 1.31 

Sheng Yu Steel Co. Ltd ............. 4.89 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. 

If the weighted-average dumping 

margin for the mandatory respondents 

(i.e., SYSCO, Prosperity, and YP/Synn) 

is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 

0.5 percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem AD assessment rates 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the importers 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).8 We will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review when the importerspecific assessment rate calculated in 

the final results of this review is above 

de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent). Where

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. The final results of 

this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review where 

applicable. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review (i.e., 

Chung Hung), we will assign an 

assessment rate based on the weightedaverage of the cash deposit rates 

calculated for the companies selected 

for mandatory review (i.e., SYSCO, 

Prosperity, and YP/Synn), excluding 

any which are de minimis or 

determined entirely on adverse facts 

available. The final results of this 

review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.9

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by each respondent 

for which they did not know that their 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries not reviewed at the allothers rate of 10.34 percent if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction.10 We intend 

to issue instructions to CBP 15 days 

after publication of the final results of 

this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of CORE from 

Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication provided by 

section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for each company listed 

above will be equal to the dumping 

margins established in the final results 

of this review except if the ultimate 

rates are de minimis within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case 

the cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) 

for merchandise exported by producers 

or exporters not covered in this 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the producer or 

exporter participated; (3) if the exporter 

is not a firm covered in this review, a 

prior review, or the original less-thanfair-value investigation but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of the proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 10.34 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the antidumping 

investigation.11 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce will disclose to parties to 

this proceeding the calculations 

performed in reaching the preliminary 

results within five days of the date of 

publication of these preliminary 

results.12 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties may 

submit case briefs not later than 30 days

Notification to Importers 

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 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

These preliminary results of review is 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
