Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). Export 

price and constructed export price are 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. Because mandatory 

respondents Daewoo and Samsung 

failed to respond to the Department’s 

questionnaire, we preliminarily find it 

appropriate to use adverse facts 

available (AFA) in determining their 

weighted-average dumping margins, in 

accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

which is hereby adopted by 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).2

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

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 Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that the following weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

August 3, 2012, through January 31, 

2014.

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this segment of 

the proceeding within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs not later than 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.3

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed not later 

than five days after the date for filing 

case briefs.4 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), 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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. 

Department of Commerce. All 

documents must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS. An electronically filed 

request must be received successfully in 

its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Standard Time, within 30 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice.5 Requests should contain the 

party’s name, address, and telephone 

number, the number of participants, and 

a list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, the 

Department intends to hold the hearing 

at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

14th Street and Constitution Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20230, at a time 

and date to be determined. Parties 

should confirm by telephone the date, 

time, and location of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. 

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any written 

briefs, not later than 120 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, unless 

the deadline is extended.6

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.7 If we continue to rely on 

adverse facts available to establish 

Daewoo’s and Samsung’s weightedaverage dumping margins, we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of 82.41 percent to all 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR which were produced and/or 

exported by Daewoo and Samsung. 

For those sales where LG reported the 

entered value of its U.S. sales, we 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

duty assessment rates based on the ratio 

of the total amount of antidumping 

duties calculated for the examined sales 

to the total entered value of the 

examined sales to that importer. For 

those sales where the respondent did 

not report the entered value of its U.S. 

sales, we calculated importer-specific or 

customer-specific per-unit duty 

assessment rates by aggregating the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales and 

dividing this amount by the total 

quantity of those sales. To determine 

whether this duty assessment rate is de 

minimis, in accordance with the 

requirement set forth in 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we will calculate an 

importer-specific ad valorem ratio based 

on the estimated entered value. 

We will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review when the 

importer-specific assessment rate 

calculated in the final results of this 

review is above de minimis. Where 

either the exporter’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis, 

or the importer-specific assessment rate 

is zero or de minimis, we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.8

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by LGE for

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 Daewoo, LG, 

and Samsung will be the rate 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is less than 

0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the 

original investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 11.80 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.9 These requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 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, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Steel Wire Garment Hangers From 

Taiwan: Rescission of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 9, 2015. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the ‘‘Department’’) is rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on steel wire 

garment hangers from Taiwan for the 

period of review (‘‘POR’’), December 1, 

2013, through November 30, 2014.

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230; telephone 

202.482.0413. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 4, 2015, based on a 

timely request for review by 

Petitioners,1 the Department published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on steel 

wire garment hangers for 30 companies, 

covering the period December 1, 2013, 

through November 30, 2014.2 On 

February 19, 2015, Petitioners withdrew 

their request for an administrative 

review of these companies.3

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review 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. Petitioners 

withdrew their request within the 90- 

day deadline. No other party requested 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order. As a result, we 

are rescinding the administrative review 

of steel wire garment hangers from 

Taiwan for the POR. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Because the 

Department is rescinding this 

administrative review in its entirety, the 

entries to which this administrative 

review pertained shall be assessed 

antidumping duties at rates equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication of this notice.
