Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are metal lockers from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

On February 2, 2021, we issued the 

Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum.3 We received comments 

from interested parties in regard to the 

Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum, which we addressed in 

the Final Scope Decision 

Memorandum.4 Commerce has made no 

changes to the scope of this 

investigation since the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case briefs and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by interested 

parties in this investigation are 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues raised 

by parties and responded to by 

Commerce in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached to this notice 

as Appendix II. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).5

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received and additional 

information obtained since our 

preliminary findings, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculations for 

Hangzhou Xline Machinery & 

Equipment Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou Xline). 

For a discussion of these changes, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rate Companies 

No party commented on our 

preliminary separate rate 

determinations with respect to the 

mandatory respondents and the nonindividually examined companies; thus, 

we find no basis to reconsider our 

preliminary determinations with respect 

to separate rate status, and we have 

continued to grant these companies 

separate rates in this final 

determination. 

China-Wide Entity Rate and the Use of 

Adverse Facts Available 

Commerce continues to find that the 

use of facts available is warranted in 

determining the rate of the China-wide 

entity, pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) 

and (a)(2)(A)–(C) of the Act. As 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, Commerce finds that the 

use of adverse facts available (AFA) is 

warranted with respect to the Chinawide entity because the China-wide 

entity failed to cooperate by not acting 

to the best of its ability to comply with 

our requests for information and, 

accordingly, we applied adverse 

inferences in selecting from the facts 

available, pursuant to section 776(b) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.308(a). 

For the final determination, as AFA, 

we are assigning the China-wide entity 

the highest calculated petition margin 

reported in the Initiation Notice, 322.25 

percent.6 We corroborated, to the extent 

practicable, within the meaning of 

section 776(c) of the Act, the highest 

petition margin of 322.25 percent.7 See 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Combination Rates 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination, Commerce calculated 

exporter/producer combination rates for 

the respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. Policy 

Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice.8

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to interested 

parties the calculations and analysis 

performed in this final determination 

within five days of any public 

announcement, or, if there is no public 

announcement in the Federal Register, 

within five days of the date of the 

publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we intend to 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

metal lockers from China, as described 

in the appendix to this notice, which 

were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

February 11, 2021, the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination of this investigation in 

the Federal Register, with the exception 

of entries of subject merchandise that 

were exported by Hangzhou Xline and 

produced by Hangzhou Jusheng Metal 

Products Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou Jusheng). 

With regard to such entries, because we 

have determined the weighted-average 

dumping margin to be zero for this 

producer/exporter combination, we will 

exclude merchandise exported by 

Hangzhou Xline and produced by 

Hangzhou Jusheng from the 

antidumping duty order, in the event an 

order is instituted, and we will 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation and will refund all cash 

deposits already collected for this 

producer/exporter combination. Such 

exclusion will not be applicable to 

merchandise exported to the United 

States by any other producer/exporter 

combinations or by third parties that 

sourced from the excluded producer/ 

exporter combination. 

Furthermore, other than for entries 

exported by Hangzhou Xline and 

produced by Hangzhou Jusheng, 

pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act, upon the publication of this 

notice, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the weighted-average amount by which 

the normal value exceeds U.S. price as 

follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the 

exporter/producer combinations listed 

in the table above will be the rate 

identified in the table; (2) for all 

combinations of Chinese exporters/ 

producers of subject merchandise that 

have not received their own separate 

rate above, the cash deposit rate will be 

the cash deposit rate established for the 

China-wide entity; and (3) for all nonChinese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own separate rate above, the cash 

deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate 

applicable to the Chinese exporter/ 

producer combination that supplied that 

non-Chinese exporter. These suspension 

of liquidation instructions will remain 

in effect until further notice. 

To determine the cash deposit rate, 

Commerce normally adjusts the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the amount of domestic 

subsidy pass-through and export 

subsidies determined in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce 

makes an affirmative determination for 

domestic subsidy pass-through or export 

subsidies, Commerce offsets the 

calculated estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin by the appropriate 

rates. Commerce continues to find that 

Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products Co., 

Ltd./Xingyi Metalworking Technology 

(Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Xingyi), 

and all non-individually-examined 

companies found eligible for a separate 

rate qualify for a double-remedy 

adjustment.9 Further, we have 

continued to adjust the cash deposit 

rates for Zhejiang Xingyi, all nonindividually-examined separate rate 

companies, and the China-wide entity 

for export subsidies in the companion 

CVD investigation by the appropriate 

export subsidy rates as indicated in the 

above chart. However, suspension of 

liquidation according to provisional 

measures in the companion CVD case 

has been discontinued effective April 

12, 2021; 10 therefore, we are not 

instructing CBP to collect cash deposits 

based upon the adjusted estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

those export subsidies and double 

remedy adjustment at this time. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. Because the final determination 

in this proceeding is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
35740 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 7, 2021 / Notices 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

metal lockers from China no later than 

45 days after our final determination. If 

the ITC determines that material injury 

or threat of material injury does not 

exist, the proceeding will be terminated, 

and all cash deposits will be refunded. 

If the ITC determines that material 

injury or threat of material injury does 

exist, Commerce will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise, 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and the terms of an APO is 

a violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: June 28, 2021.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of the investigation covers 

certain metal lockers, with or without doors, 

and parts thereof (metal lockers). The subject 

metal lockers are secure metal storage 

devices less than 27 inches wide and less 

than 27 inches deep, whether floor standing, 

installed onto a base or wall-mounted. In a 

multiple locker assembly (whether a welded 

locker unit, otherwise assembled locker unit 

or knocked down unit or kit), the width 

measurement shall be based on the width of 

an individual locker not the overall unit 

dimensions. All measurements in this scope 

are based on actual measurements taken on 

the outside dimensions of the single-locker 

unit. The height is the vertical measurement 

from the bottom to the top of the unit. The 

width is the horizontal (side to side) 

measurement of the front of the unit, and the 

front of the unit is the face with the door or 

doors or the opening for internal access of the 

unit if configured without a door. The depth 

is the measurement from the front to the back 

of the unit. The subject certain metal lockers 

typically include the bodies (back, side, 

shelf, top and bottom panels), door frames 

with or without doors which can be 

integrated into the sides or made separately, 

and doors. 

The subject metal lockers typically are 

made of flat-rolled metal, metal mesh and/or 

expanded metal, which includes but is not 

limited to alloy or non-alloy steel (whether 

or not galvanized or otherwise metallically 

coated for corrosion resistance), stainless 

steel, or aluminum, but the doors may also 

include transparent polycarbonate, Plexiglas 

or similar transparent material or any 

combination thereof. Metal mesh refers to 

both wire mesh and expanded metal mesh. 

Wire mesh is a wire product in which the 

horizontal and transverse wires are welded at 

the cross-section in a grid pattern. Expanded 

metal mesh is made by slitting and stretching 

metal sheets to make a screen of diamond or 

other shaped openings. 

Where the product has doors, the doors are 

typically configured with or for a handle or 

other device or other means that permit the 

use of a mechanical or electronic lock or 

locking mechanism, including, but not 

limited to: A combination lock, a padlock, a 

key lock (including cylinder locks) lever or 

knob lock, electronic key pad, or other 

electronic or wireless lock. The handle and 

locking mechanism, if included, need not be 

integrated into one another. The subject 

locker may or may not also enter with the 

lock or locking device included or installed. 

The doors or body panels may also include 

vents (including wire mesh or expanded 

metal mesh vents) or perforations. The 

bodies, body components and doors are 

typically powder coated, otherwise painted 

or epoxy coated or may be unpainted. The 

subject merchandise includes metal lockers 

imported either as welded or otherwise 

assembled units (ready for installation or use) 

or as knocked down units or kits (requiring 

assembly prior to installation or use). 

The subject lockers may be shipped as 

individual or multiple locker units 

preassembled, welded, or combined into 

banks or tiers for ease of installation or as 

sets of component parts, bulk packed (i.e., all 

backs in one package, crate, rack, carton or 

container and sides in another package, crate, 

rack, carton or container) or any combination 

thereof. The knocked down lockers are 

shipped unassembled requiring a supplier, 

contractor or end-user to assemble the 

individual lockers and locker banks prior to 

installation. 

The scope also includes all parts and 

components of lockers made from flat-rolled 

metal or expanded metal (e.g., doors, frames, 

shelves, tops, bottoms, backs, side panels, 

etc.) as well as accessories that are attached 

to the lockers when installed (including, but 

not limited to, slope tops, bases, expansion 

filler panels, dividers, recess trim, decorative 

end panels, and end caps) that may be 

imported together with lockers or other 

locker components or on their own. The 

particular accessories listed for illustrative 

purposes are defined as follows: 

a. Slope tops: Slope tops are slanted metal 

panels or units that fit on the tops of the 

lockers and that slope from back to front to 

prevent the accumulation of dust and debris 

on top of the locker and to discourage the use 

of the tops of lockers as storage areas. Slope 

tops come in various configurations 

including, but not limited to, unit slope tops 

(in place of flat tops), slope hoods made of 

a back, top and end pieces which fit over 

multiple units and convert flat tops to a 

sloping tops, and slope top kits that convert 

flat tops to sloping tops and include tops, 

backs and ends. 

b. Bases: Locker bases are panels made 

from flat-rolled metal that either conceal the 

legs of the locker unit, or for lockers without 

legs, provide a toe space in the front of the 

locker and conceal the flanges for floor 

anchoring. 

c. Expansion filler panel: Expansion filler 

panels or fillers are metal panels that attach 

to locker units to cover columns, pipes or 

other obstacles in a row of lockers or fill in 

gaps between the locker and the wall. Fillers 

may also include metal panels that are used 

on the sides or the top of the lockers to fill
