Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that producers or exporters of finished 

carbon steel flanges (flanges) from Spain 

subject to this review made sales of 

subject merchandise at less than normal 

value during the period of review (POR) 

June 1, 2019, through May 31, 2020. We 

invite interested parties to comment on 

these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable July 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 14, 2017, we published in the 

Federal Register an antidumping duty 

(AD) order on flanges from Spain.1 On 

June 2, 2020, Commerce published a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the Order.2

Based on timely requests for 

administrative review, we initiated an 

administrative review of eight 

companies: (1) Aleaciones De Metales 

Sinterizados S.A.; (2) Central Y 

Almacenes; (3) Farina Group Spain; (4) 

Friedrich Geldbach Gmbh; (5) Grupo 

Cunado; (6) Transglory S.A.; (7) 

Tubacero, S.L.; and (8) ULMA Forja, 

S.Coop (ULMA).3 On September 24, 

2020, we identified ULMA as the sole 

mandatory respondent in this review.4

On February 11, 2021, and May 27, 

2021, we extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results, by a total of 120 

days.5 The deadline for the preliminary 

results of this administrative review is 

now June 30, 2021. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.6

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. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order covers 

finished carbon steel flanges. Finished 

carbon steel flanges are currently 

classified under subheadings 

7307.91.5010 and 7307.91.5050 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). They may also 

be entered under HTSUS subheadings 

7307.91.5030 and 7307.91.5070. The 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes; the 

written description of the scope is 

dispositive. 

A full description of the scope of the 

Order is contained in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Export price is 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 these preliminary results, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Administrative

Non-Individually Examined Companies 

For the weighted-average dumping 

margin for non-selected respondents in 

an administrative review, generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ We 

preliminarily calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin for ULMA that 

was not zero, de minimis, or based on 

facts available. Accordingly, we have 

preliminarily applied the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated for 

ULMA as the weighted-average 

dumping margin for the nonindividually examined companies. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

to the parties within five days after 

public announcement of the preliminary 

results in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs no later than 30 days after the 

date of publication of these preliminary 

results of review.7 Rebuttal briefs may 

be filed no later than seven days after 

case briefs are due and may respond 

only to arguments raised in the case 

briefs.8 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.9 Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving 

documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.10

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) 

The party’s name, address and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be 

discussed. Issues raised in the hearing 

will be limited to those raised in the 

respective case briefs. 

An electronically filed document 

must be received successfully in its 

entirety by Commerce’s electronic 

records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.11

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rate 

Upon issuing the final results, 

Commerce will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.12 If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

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

in the final results of this review, we 

intend to calculate importer-specific 

assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of the 

importer’s sales in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis in the final results, 

or if an importer-specific assessment 

rate is zero or de minimis, then we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regards to antidumping 

duties. 

Consistent with its recent notice,13

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. The final results of 

this administrative review shall be the 

basis for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise under 

review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by ULMA for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.14

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

for estimated antidumping duties will 

be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of this review for 

all shipments of flanges from Spain 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

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

rate for the companies under review, 

will be equal to the company-specific 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of the 

review (except, if the rate is zero or de 

minimis, no cash deposit will be 

required); (2) for merchandise exported 

by producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

completed segment of the proceeding, 

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 producer is, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established in a prior competed segment 

for the most recent period for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 18.81 

percent,15 the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value investigation. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

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 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

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

written 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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

these results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 8, 2020, Commerce initiated 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on aluminum 

foil from China,1 in accordance with 

section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). On July 21, 2020, 

Commerce tolled the deadlines for 

issuing its preliminary results by 60 

days.2 On February 26, 2021, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this review by 120 

days, until June 29, 2021.3

The administrative review covers two 

mandatory respondents: (1) Jiangsu 

Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., (HK) 

Ltd.; Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination 

Materials Stock Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu 

Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., Ltd.; 

and Jiangsu Huafeng Aluminum 

Industry Co., Ltd (collectively, 

Zhongji); 4 and (2) Jiangsu Alcha 

Aluminum Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Alcha). 

The administrative review also covers 

14 other companies that were not 

selected for individual examination. For 

details regarding the events that 

occurred subsequent to the initiation of 

the review, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.5 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I to this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is made available to the public via

these companies had no shipments of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. For additional 

information regarding these preliminary 

determinations, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.
