SUMMARY: On September 12, 2011, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published the 

preliminary results of the second 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain steel 

nails (‘‘steel nails’’) from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 We gave 

interested parties an opportunity to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. 

Based upon our analysis of the 

comments and information received, we 

made changes to the margin calculations 

for the final results of this review. The 

final weighted-average margins are 

listed below in the ‘‘Final Results of the 

Review’’ section of this notice. The 

period of review (‘‘POR’’) is August 1, 

2009, through July 31, 2010. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 1, 2012.

Case History 

On September 12, 2011, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register the Preliminary Results. 

Thereafter, on September 12, and 14, 

2011, we issued questionnaires directly 

to unaffiliated suppliers in order to 

obtain certain factors of production 

(‘‘FOP’’) data. Between October 11, 

2011, and November 9, 2011, we 

received case and rebuttal briefs from 

the petitioner,2 the mandatory 

respondents,3 and other interested 

parties 4 in this administrative review. 

On December 5, 2011, the Department 

rescinded the new shipper review 

aligned with this administrative 

review.5 Between January 12, 2012, and 

February 1, 2012, counsel for certain 

interested parties met with Department 

officials to discuss issues raised in their 

case and rebuttal briefs.6 On December 

7, 2011, the Department extended the 

final results to February 9, 2012.7 On 

February 7, 2012, the Department 

extended the final results to February 

23, 2012.8

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties are addressed 

in the ‘‘Certain Steel Nails from the 

People’s Republic of China: Issues and 

Decision Memorandum for the Final 

Results of the Second Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated 

concurrently with this notice (‘‘Issues 

and Decision Memorandum’’), which is 

hereby adopted by this notice. A list of 

the issues which parties raised is 

attached to this notice as an Appendix. 

Parties can find a complete discussion 

of all issues raised in this review and 

the corresponding recommendation in 

this public memorandum which is on 

file electronically via Import 

Administration’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Services System (‘‘IA 

ACCESS’’). Access to IA ACCESS is 

available in the Central Records Unit 

(‘‘CRU’’) of the main Commerce 

Building, Room 7046. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is accessible on 

the Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The 

paper copy and electronic versions of 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

are identical in content. 

Final Partial Rescission of 

Administrative Review 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department announced its intent to 

rescind the review with respect to 

certain companies 9 that certified they 

made no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR.10 For the 

final results, we continue to find that 

these companies did not make 

shipments during the POR. Thus, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), 

and consistent with our practice,11 we 

are rescinding this review with respect 

to these companies.

concurrently with this notice. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order includes certain steel nails having 

a shaft length up to 12 inches. Certain 

steel nails include, but are not limited 

to, nails made of round wire and nails 

that are cut. Certain steel nails may be 

of one piece construction or constructed 

of two or more pieces. Certain steel nails 

may be produced from any type of steel, 

and have a variety of finishes, heads, 

shanks, point types, shaft lengths and 

shaft diameters. Finishes include, but 

are not limited to, coating in vinyl, zinc 

(galvanized, whether by electroplating 

or hot dipping one or more times), 

phosphate cement, and paint. Head 

styles include, but are not limited to, 

flat, projection, cupped, oval, brad, 

headless, double, countersunk, and 

sinker. Shank styles include, but are not 

limited to, smooth, barbed, screw 

threaded, ring shank and fluted shank 

styles. Screw-threaded nails subject to 

this proceeding are driven using direct 

force and not by turning the fastener 

using a tool that engages with the head. 

Point styles include, but are not limited 

to, diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and 

no point. Finished nails may be sold in 

bulk, or they may be collated into strips 

or coils using materials such as plastic, 

paper, or wire. Certain steel nails 

subject to this order are currently 

classified under the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 7317.00.55, 

7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75. 

Excluded from the scope of this order 

are steel roofing nails of all lengths and 

diameter, whether collated or in bulk, 

and whether or not galvanized. Steel 

roofing nails are specifically 

enumerated and identified in ASTM 

Standard F 1667 (2005 revision) as Type 

I, Style 20 nails. Also excluded from the 

scope are the following steel nails: (1) 

Non-collated (i.e., hand-driven or bulk), 

two-piece steel nails having plastic or 

steel washers (caps) already assembled 

to the nail, having a bright or galvanized 

finish, a ring, fluted or spiral shank, an 

actual length of 0.500′′ to 8′′, inclusive; 

and an actual shank diameter of 0.1015′′ 

to 0.166′′, inclusive; and an actual 

washer or cap diameter of 0.900′′ to 

1.10′′, inclusive; (2) Non-collated (i.e., 

hand-driven or bulk), steel nails having 

a bright or galvanized finish, a smooth, 

barbed or ringed shank, an actual length 

of 0.500′′ to 4′′, inclusive; an actual 

shank diameter of 0.1015′′ to 0.166′′, 

inclusive; and an actual head diameter 

of 0.3375′′ to 0.500′′, inclusive; (3) Wire 

collated steel nails, in coils, having a 

galvanized finish, a smooth, barbed or 

ringed shank, an actual length of 0.500′′ 

to 1.75′′, inclusive; an actual shank 

diameter of 0.116′′ to 0.166′′, inclusive; 

and an actual head diameter of 0.3375′′ 

to 0.500′′, inclusive; and (4) Noncollated (i.e., hand-driven or bulk), steel 

nails having a convex head (commonly 

known as an umbrella head), a smooth 

or spiral shank, a galvanized finish, an 

actual length of 1.75′′ to 3′′, inclusive; an 

actual shank diameter of 0.131′′ to 

0.152′′, inclusive; and an actual head 

diameter of 0.450′′ to 0.813′′, inclusive. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

order are corrugated nails. A corrugated 

nail is made of a small strip of 

corrugated steel with sharp points on 

one side. Also excluded from the scope 

of this order are fasteners suitable for 

use in powder-actuated hand tools, not 

threaded and threaded, which are 

currently classified under HTSUS 

7317.00.20 and 7317.00.30. Also 

excluded from the scope of this order 

are thumb tacks, which are currently 

classified under HTSUS 7317.00.10.00. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

order are certain brads and finish nails 

that are equal to or less than 0.0720 

inches in shank diameter, round or 

rectangular in cross section, between 

0.375 inches and 2.5 inches in length, 

and that are collated with adhesive or 

polyester film tape backed with a heat 

seal adhesive. Also excluded from the 

scope of this order are fasteners having 

a case hardness greater than or equal to 

50 HRC, a carbon content greater than 

or equal to 0.5 percent, a round head, 

a secondary reduced-diameter raised 

head section, a centered shank, and a 

smooth symmetrical point, suitable for 

use in gas-actuated hand tools. While 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the scope of 

this order is dispositive. 

Non-Market Economy Treatment 

The Department considers the PRC to 

be a non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) 

country.12 In accordance with section 

771(18)(C)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘Act’’), any determination 

that a foreign country is an NME 

country shall remain in effect until 

revoked by the administering authority. 

No party has challenged the designation 

of the PRC as an NME country in this 

review. Therefore, the Department 

continues to treat the PRC as an NME 

country for purposes of these final 

results. 

Surrogate Country 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department stated that it selected India 

as the appropriate surrogate country to 

use in this administrative review for the 

following reasons: (1) It is a significant 

producer of comparable merchandise; 

(2) it is at a comparable level of 

economic development pursuant to 

section 773(c)(4) of the Act; and (3) the 

Department has reliable data from India 

that it can use to value the factors of 

production. As no party submitted 

additional comments challenging our 

selection of the primary surrogate 

country, we are continuing to use India 

as the surrogate country for the final 

results of this administrative review. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving NME 

countries, the Department holds a 

rebuttable presumption that all 

companies within the country are 

subject to government control and, thus, 

should be assessed a single antidumping 

duty rate. It is the Department’s policy 

to assign all exporters of subject 

merchandise in an NME country this 

single rate unless an exporter can 

demonstrate that it is sufficiently 

independent so as to be entitled to a 

separate rate.13

In the Preliminary Results, we 

determined that in addition to the 

mandatory respondents, the Separate 

Rate Applicants 14 also met the criteria

18 In the Preliminary Results, the Department also 

identified four companies with the above group: 

Cana (Tianjin) Hardware Ind., Co., Ltd.; Huanghua 

Jinhai Metal Products Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Jisco Co., 

Ltd., and Tianjin Baisheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. 

However, the review was rescinded for these four 

companies. These four companies do not have 

separate rates. See Certain Steel Nails from the 

Peoples’ Republic of China: Notice of Extension of 

Time Limits and Partial Rescission of the Second 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 

23788 (April 28, 2011). Therefore, the Department 

intends to issue liquidation instructions for the 

PRC-wide entity 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. Id. 

for separate-rate status. No party 

challenged these preliminary separate 

rate findings, we therefore continue to 

find that mandatory respondents and 

Separate Rate Applicants met the 

criteria for separate rate status. The 

margin assigned to the Separate Rate 

Applicants is based on the estimated 

weighted-average antidumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding 

zero and de minimis margins or margins 

based entirely on AFA.15

PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity 

In the Preliminary Results, because 

reviews were requested for several 

companies that failed to demonstrate 

that they operate free of government 

control, the Department determined that 

these companies were part of the PRCwide entity. In the most recently 

completed review, we assigned a rate of 

118.04 percent to the PRC-wide entity. 

Since the Preliminary Results, none of 

the companies that did not file separate 

rate applications or certifications 

submitted comments regarding these 

findings of government control. 

Therefore, we are assigning these 

companies the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 

percent assigned to the PRC-wide entity 

in the most recently completed 

administrative review of this 

antidumping order.16 The Department is 

applying a single antidumping rate, i.e., 

the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 percent, to 

all other exporters of subject 

merchandise from the PRC because only 

the mandatory respondents and 

Separate-Rate Applicants have 

overcome that presumption that they are 

not part of the PRC-wide entity. The 

PRC-wide rate applies to all entries of 

the merchandise under consideration, 

except for those from companies which 

have received a separate rate.

Assessment Rates 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the 

Department will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. For 

assessment purposes, we calculated 

importer (or customer)-specific 

assessment rates for merchandise 

subject to this review. Where 

appropriate, we calculated an ad 

valorem rate for each importer (or 

customer) by dividing the total dumping 

margins for reviewed sales to that party 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 41 / Thursday, March 1, 2012 / Notices 12559 

by the total entered values associated 

with those transactions. For dutyassessment rates calculated on this 

basis, we will direct CBP to assess the 

resulting ad valorem rate against the 

entered customs values for the subject 

merchandise. Where appropriate, we 

calculated a per-unit rate for each 

importer (or customer) by dividing the 

total dumping margins for reviewed 

sales to that party by the total sales 

quantity associated with those 

transactions. For duty-assessment rates 

calculated on this basis, we will direct 

CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate 

against the entered quantity of the 

subject merchandise. Where an importer 

(or customer)-specific assessment rate is 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), 

the Department will instruct CBP to 

assess that importer (or customer’s) 

entries of subject merchandise without 

regard to antidumping duties, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Stanley, 

Hongli, Jinchi, and the Separate Rate 

Applicants, the cash deposit rate will be 

their respective rates established in the 

final results of this review, except if the 

rate is zero or de minimis no cash 

deposit will be required; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 percent; 

and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties has occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

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, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return/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. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

administrative review and notice in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: February 23, 2012. 

Paul Piquado, 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
