Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Order. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits for 

estimated antidumping duties at the 

rates in effect at the time of entry for all 

imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Order will be January 31, 2025.6

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of the Order not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of this continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return, destruction, or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Petition 

On January 15, 2025, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

received a countervailing duty (CVD) 

petition concerning imports of 

temporary steel fencing from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) filed 

in proper form on behalf of ZND US Inc. 

(the petitioner), a U.S. producer of 

temporary steel fencing.1 The CVD 

Petition was accompanied by an 

antidumping duty (AD) petition 

concerning imports of temporary steel 

fencing from China.2

Between January 17 and 29, 2025, 

Commerce requested supplemental 

information pertaining to certain aspects 

of the Petition in supplemental 

questionnaires.3 Between January 22 

and 31, 2025, the petitioner filed timely 

responses to these requests for 

additional information.4

In accordance with section 702(b)(1) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), the petitioner alleges that the 

Government of China (GOC) is 

providing countervailable subsidies, 

within the meaning of sections 701 and 

771(5) of the Act, to producers of 

temporary steel fencing in China, and 

that such imports are materially 

injuring, or threatening material injury 

to, the domestic industry producing 

temporary steel fencing in the United 

States. Consistent with section 702(b)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.202(b), for 

those alleged programs on which we are 

initiating a CVD investigation, the 

Petition was accompanied by 

information reasonably available to the 

petitioner supporting its allegations. 

Commerce finds that the petitioner 

filed the Petition on behalf of the 

domestic industry, because the 

petitioner is an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act. 

Commerce also finds that the petitioner 

demonstrated sufficient industry 

support with respect to the initiation of 

the requested CVD investigation.5

Period of Investigation 

Because the Petition was filed on 

January 15, 2025, the period of 

investigation for the CVD investigation 

is January 1, 2024, through December 

31, 2024.6

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is temporary steel fencing 

from China. For a full description of the 

scope of this investigation, see the 

appendix to this notice. 

Comments on the Scope of the 

Investigation 

On January 17 and 29, 2025, 

Commerce requested information and 

clarification from the petitioner 

regarding the proposed scope to ensure 

that the scope language in the Petition 

is an accurate reflection of the products 

for which the domestic industry is 

seeking relief.7 On January 22 and 31, 

2025, the petitioner provided 

clarifications and revised the scope.8

The description of merchandise covered 

by this investigation, as described in the 

appendix to this notice, reflects these 

clarifications. 

As discussed in the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations, we are setting 

aside a period for interested parties to 

raise issues regarding product coverage

(i.e., scope).9 Commerce will consider 

all comments received from interested 

parties and, if necessary, will consult 

with interested parties prior to the 

issuance of the preliminary 

determination. If scope comments 

include factual information, all such 

factual information should be limited to 

public information.10 To facilitate 

preparation of its questionnaires, 

Commerce requests that scope 

comments be submitted by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time (ET) on February 24, 2025, 

which is 20 calendar days from the 

signature date of this notice. Any 

rebuttal comments, which may include 

factual information, and should also be 

limited to public information, must be 

filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on March 6, 2025, 

which is 10 calendar days from the 

initial comment deadline. 

Commerce requests that any factual 

information that parties consider 

relevant to the scope of the investigation 

be submitted during that time period. 

However, if a party subsequently finds 

that additional factual information 

pertaining to the scope of the 

investigation may be relevant, the party 

must contact Commerce and request 

permission to submit the additional 

information. All scope comments must 

be filed simultaneously on the records 

of the concurrent AD and CVD 

investigations. 

Filing Requirements 

All submissions to Commerce must be 

filed electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping Duty and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS), 

unless an exception applies.11 An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully in its entirety by 

the time and date it is due. 

Consultations 

Pursuant to sections 702(b)(4)(A)(i) 

and (ii) of the Act, Commerce notified 

the GOC of the receipt of the Petition 

and provided an opportunity for 

consultations with respect to the 

Petition.12 The GOC did not request 

consultations.13

Determination of Industry Support for 

the Petition 

Section 702(b)(1) of the Act requires 

that a petition be filed on behalf of the 

domestic industry. Section 702(c)(4)(A) 

of the Act provides that a petition meets 

this requirement if the domestic 

producers or workers who support the 

petition account for: (i) at least 25 

percent of the total production of the 

domestic like product; and (ii) more 

than 50 percent of the production of the 

domestic like product produced by that 

portion of the industry expressing 

support for, or opposition to, the 

petition. Moreover, section 702(c)(4)(D) 

of the Act provides that, if the petition 

does not establish support of domestic 

producers or workers accounting for 

more than 50 percent of the total 

production of the domestic like product, 

Commerce shall: (i) poll the industry or 

rely on other information in order to 

determine if there is support for the 

petition, as required by subparagraph 

(A); or (ii) determine industry support 

using a statistically valid sampling 

method to poll the ‘‘industry.’’ 

Section 771(4)(A) of the Act defines 

the ‘‘industry’’ as the producers as a 

whole of a domestic like product. Thus, 

to determine whether a petition has the 

requisite industry support, the statute 

directs Commerce to look to producers 

and workers who produce the domestic 

like product. The U.S. International 

Trade Commission (ITC), which is 

responsible for determining whether 

‘‘the domestic industry’’ has been 

injured, must also determine what 

constitutes a domestic like product in 

order to define the industry. While both 

Commerce and the ITC apply the same 

statutory definition regarding the 

domestic like product,14 they do so for 

different purposes and pursuant to a 

separate and distinct authority. In 

addition, Commerce’s determination is 

subject to limitations of time and 

information. Although this may result in 

different definitions of the like product, 

such differences do not render the 

decision of either agency contrary to 

law.15

Section 771(10) of the Act defines the 

domestic like product as ‘‘a product 

which is like, or in the absence of like, 

most similar in characteristics and uses 

with, the article subject to an 

investigation under this title.’’ Thus, the 

reference point from which the 

domestic like product analysis begins is 

‘‘the article subject to an investigation’’ 

(i.e., the class or kind of merchandise to 

be investigated, which normally will be 

the scope as defined in the petition). 

With regard to the domestic like 

product, the petitioner does not offer a 

definition of the domestic like product 

distinct from the scope of the 

investigation.16 Based on our analysis of 

the information submitted on the 

record, we have determined that 

temporary steel fencing, as defined in 

the scope, constitutes a single domestic 

like product, and we have analyzed 

industry support in terms of that 

domestic like product.17

In determining whether the petitioner 

has standing under section 702(c)(4)(A) 

of the Act, we considered the industry 

support data contained in the Petition 

with reference to the domestic like 

product as defined in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation,’’ in the appendix to this 

notice. To establish industry support, 

the petitioner provided the 2024 

production of the domestic like product 

for the U.S. producers that support the 

Petition and compared this to the 

estimated total production of the 

domestic like product in 2024 by the 

entire U.S. temporary steel fencing 

industry.18 We relied on data provided 

by the petitioner for purposes of 

measuring industry support.19

Our review of the data provided in the 

Petition and other information readily 

available to Commerce indicates that the 

petitioner has established industry 

support for the Petition.20 First, the 

Petition established support from 

domestic producers (or workers) 

accounting for more than 50 percent of 

the total production of the domestic like 

product and, as such, Commerce is not

required to take further action in order 

to evaluate industry support (e.g., 

polling).21 Second, the domestic 

producers (or workers) have met the 

statutory criteria for industry support 

under section 702(c)(4)(A)(i) of the Act 

because the domestic producers (or 

workers) who support the Petition 

account for at least 25 percent of the 

total production of the domestic like 

product.22 Finally, the domestic 

producers (or workers) have met the 

statutory criteria for industry support 

under section 702(c)(4)(A)(ii) of the Act 

because the domestic producers (or 

workers) who support the Petition 

account for more than 50 percent of the 

production of the domestic like product 

produced by that portion of the industry 

expressing support for, or opposition to, 

the Petition.23 Accordingly, Commerce 

determines that the Petition was filed on 

behalf of the domestic industry within 

the meaning of section 702(b)(1) of the 

Act.24

Injury Test 

Because China is a ‘‘Subsidies 

Agreement Country’’ within the 

meaning of section 701(b) of the Act, 

section 701(a)(2) of the Act applies to 

this investigation. Accordingly, the ITC 

must determine whether imports of the 

subject merchandise from China 

materially injure, or threaten material 

injury to, a U.S. industry. 

Allegations and Evidence of Material 

Injury and Causation 

The petitioner alleges that imports of 

the subject merchandise are benefiting 

from countervailable subsidies and that 

such imports are causing, or threaten to 

cause, material injury to the U.S. 

industry producing the domestic like 

product. In addition, the petitioner 

alleges that subject imports from China 

exceed the negligibility threshold 

provided for under section 771(24)(A) of 

the Act.25

The petitioner contends that the 

industry’s injured condition is 

illustrated by the significant volume and 

market share of subject imports; 

underselling and price depression and/ 

or suppression; lost sales and revenues; 

and declines in the domestic industry’s 

production, capacity utilization, 

employment variables, and financial 

performances.26 We assessed the 

allegations and supporting evidence 

regarding material injury, threat of 

material injury, causation, cumulation, 

as well as negligibility, and we have 

determined that these allegations are 

properly supported by adequate 

evidence and meet the statutory 

requirements for initiation.27

Initiation of CVD Investigation 

Based upon the examination of the 

Petition and supplemental responses, 

we find that they meet the requirements 

of section 702 of the Act. Therefore, we 

are initiating a CVD investigation to 

determine whether imports of 

temporary steel fencing from China 

benefit from countervailable subsidies 

conferred by the GOC. In accordance 

with section 703(b)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(b)(1), unless postponed, 

we will make our preliminary 

determination no later than 65 days 

after the date of this initiation. 

Based on our review of the Petition, 

we find that there is sufficient 

information to initiate a CVD 

investigation on 28 of the 30 programs 

alleged by the petitioner. For a full 

discussion of the basis for our decision 

to initiate on each program, see the 

China CVD Initiation Checklist. A 

public version of the initiation checklist 

for this investigation is available on 

ACCESS. 

Respondent Selection 

In the Petition, the petitioner 

identified over 150 companies in China 

as producers and/or exporters of 

temporary steel fencing.28 Commerce 

intends to follow its standard practice in 

CVD investigations and calculate 

company-specific subsidy rates in this 

investigation. In the event that 

Commerce determines that the number 

of companies is large and it cannot 

individually examine each company 

based on Commerce’s resources, 

Commerce intends to select mandatory 

respondents based on quantity and 

value (Q&V) questionnaires issued to 

the potential respondents. Commerce 

normally selects mandatory respondents 

in CVD investigations using U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

entry data for U.S. imports under the 

appropriate Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading(s) listed in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation’’ in the appendix. 

However, for these investigations, the 

main HTSUS subheading under which 

the subject merchandise would enter 

(7308.90.9590) is a basket category 

under which non-subject merchandise 

may also enter. Therefore, we cannot 

rely on CBP entry data in selecting 

respondents. Notwithstanding the 

decision to rely on Q&V questionnaires 

for respondent selection, due to the 

large number of producers and/or 

exporters identified in the Petition, 

Commerce has determined to limit the 

number of Q&V questionnaires that it 

will issue to exporters and producers 

based on CBP data for temporary steel 

fencing from China during the POI 

under the appropriate HTSUS 

subheading listed in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation,’’ in the appendix.29

Accordingly, Commerce will send Q&V 

questionnaires to the largest producers 

and exporters that are identified in the 

CBP data for which there is complete 

address information on the record. 

Commerce will post the Q&V 

questionnaires along with filing 

instructions on Commerce’s website at 

https://www.trade.gov/ec-adcvd-caseannouncements. Producers/exporters of 

temporary steel fencing from China that 

do not receive Q&V questionnaires may 

still submit a response to the Q&V 

questionnaire and can obtain a copy of 

the Q&V questionnaire from 

Commerce’s website. Responses to the 

Q&V questionnaire must be submitted 

by the relevant Chinese producers/ 

exporters no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on 

February 18, 2025, which is two weeks 

from the signature date of this notice. 

All Q&V questionnaire responses must 

be filed electronically via ACCESS. An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully, in its entirety, by 

ACCESS no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on 

the deadline noted above. 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under APO 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(b). 

Instructions for filing such applications 

may be found on Commerce’s website at 

https://www.trade.gov/administrativeprotective-orders. 

Distribution of Copies of the Petition 

In accordance with section 

702(b)(4)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.202(f), a copy of the public version 

of the Petition has been provided to the 

GOC via ACCESS. To the extent 

practicable, we will attempt to provide 

a copy of the public version of the 

Petition to each exporter named in the

Petition, as provided under 19 CFR 

351.203(c)(2). 

ITC Notification 

Commerce will notify the ITC of its 

initiation, as required by section 702(d) 

of the Act. 

Preliminary Determination by the ITC 

The ITC will preliminarily determine, 

within 45 days after the date on which 

the Petition was filed, whether there is 

a reasonable indication that imports of 

temporary steel fencing from China are 

materially injuring, or threatening 

material injury to, a U.S. industry.30 A 

negative ITC determination will result 

in the investigation being terminated.31

Otherwise, this CVD investigation will 

proceed according to statutory and 

regulatory time limits. 

Submission of Factual Information 

Factual information is defined in 19 

CFR 351.102(b)(21) as: (i) evidence 

submitted in response to questionnaires; 

(ii) evidence submitted in support of 

allegations; (iii) publicly available 

information to value factors of 

production under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or 

to measure the adequacy of 

remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on 

the record by Commerce; and (v) 

evidence other than factual information 

described in (i)–(iv). Section 351.301(b) 

of Commerce’s regulations requires any 

party, when submitting factual 

information, to specify under which 

subsection of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the 

information is being submitted 32 and, if 

the information is submitted to rebut, 

clarify, or correct factual information 

already on the record, to provide an 

explanation identifying the information 

already on the record that the factual 

information seeks to rebut, clarify, or 

correct.33 Time limits for the 

submission of factual information are 

addressed in 19 CFR 351.301, which 

provides specific time limits based on 

the type of factual information being 

submitted. Interested parties should 

review the regulations prior to 

submitting factual information in this 

investigation. 

Extensions of Time Limits 

Parties may request an extension of 

time limits before the expiration of a 

time limit established under 19 CFR 

351.301, or as otherwise specified by 

Commerce. In general, an extension 

request will be considered untimely if it 

is filed after the expiration of the time 

limit established under 19 CFR 351.301, 

or as otherwise specified by 

Commerce.34 For submissions that are 

due from multiple parties 

simultaneously, an extension request 

will be considered untimely if it is filed 

after 10:00 a.m. ET on the due date. 

Under certain circumstances, Commerce 

may elect to specify a different time 

limit by which extension requests will 

be considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, we will 

inform parties in a letter or 

memorandum of the deadline (including 

a specified time) by which extension 

requests must be filed to be considered 

timely. An extension request must be 

made in a separate, standalone 

submission; under limited 

circumstances we will grant untimely

Appendix 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is temporary steel fencing. 

Temporary steel fencing consists of 

temporary steel fence panels and temporary 

steel fence stands. Temporary steel fence 

panels, when assembled with temporary steel 

fence stands or other types of stands outside 

of the scope, with each other, or with posts, 

create a free-standing fence. Temporary steel 

fence panels are covered by the scope 

regardless of whether they attach to a stand 

or the type of stand to which they connect. 

Temporary steel fence panels have a 

welded frame of steel tubing and an interior 

consisting of chain link, steel wire mesh, or 

other steel materials that are not more than 

10 millimeters in actual diameter or width. 

The steel tubing may surround all edges of 

the temporary steel fence panel or only be 

attached along two parallel sides of the 

panel. All temporary steel fence panels with 

at least two framed sides are covered by the 

scope, regardless of the number of edges 

framed with steel tubing. 

Temporary steel fence panels are typically 

between 10 and 12 feet long and six to eight 

feet high, though all temporary steel fence 

panels are covered by the scope regardless of 

dimension or weight as long as a single panel 

is over six square feet in actual surface area 

and weighs more than four pounds. 

Temporary steel fence panels may be square, 

rectangular, or have rounded edges, and may 

or may not have gates, doors, wheels, or 

barbed wire or other features, though all 

temporary steel fence panels are covered by 

the scope regardless of shape and other 

features. Temporary steel fence panels may 

have one or more horizontal, vertical, or 

diagonal reinforcement tubes made of steel 

welded to the inside frame, though all 

temporary steel fence panels are covered by 

the scope regardless of the existence, 

number, or type of reinforcement tubes 

attached to the panel. Temporary steel fence 

panels may have extensions, pins, tubes, or 

holes at the bottom of the panel, but all 

temporary steel fence panels are covered 

regardless of the existence of such features. 

Steel fence stands are shapes made of steel 

that stand flat on the ground and have one 

or two open tubes or solid pins into which 

temporary steel fence panels are inserted to 

stand erect. The steel fence stand may be 

made of welded steel tubing or may be a flat

steel fencing. 

Temporary steel fencing is included in the 

scope of this investigation whether or not 

imported attached to, or in conjunction with,

to, or in conjunction with, such non-subject 

merchandise, only the temporary steel 

fencing is included in the scope.

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under the subheading 7308.90.9590. Subject

Administrative Review: Notice of 

Partial Rescission; 2022–2023 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On January 24, 2025, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

published a partial revocation of Vinh 

Hoan Corporation (Vinh Hoan) from the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on certain 

frozen fish fillets (fish fillets) from the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

(Vietnam). As a result of this partial 

revocation, Commerce is rescinding the 

review with respect to entries that were 

produced and exported by Vinh Hoan. 

DATES: Applicable February 11, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 18, 2023, Commerce 

initiated a review of the AD order on 

fish fillets from Vietnam 1 with respect 

to Vinh Hoan 2 for the period of review 

(POR) August 1, 2022, through July 31, 

2023.3 On January 24, 2025, Commerce 

published its revocation of the Order 

with respect to Vinh Hoan as an 

exporter and producer of subject 

merchandise, effective August 1, 2021.4

Thus, Commerce is rescinding the 

review with respect to subject 

merchandise produced and exported by 

Vinh Hoan because there is no further 

basis for conducting an administrative 

review of the Order for the POR with 

respect to such merchandise. Consistent 

with Vinh Hoan’s revocation, Commerce 

will continue to review entries where 

Vinh Hoan was the exporter but not the 

producer of subject merchandise or 

where Vinh Hoan was the producer but 

not the exporter of subject merchandise 

to the extent the relevant exporter is 

subject to our ongoing review, as 

applicable. 

In accordance with the Revocation 

Notice, Commerce has instructed U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection to 

liquidate unliquidated entries of certain 

frozen fish fillets from Vietnam 

produced and exported by Vinh Hoan 

which were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

August 1, 2021, without regard to 

antidumping duties.5

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
