Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are metal lockers from 

China. For a full description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

On February 2, 2021, we issued the 

Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum.5 We received comments 

from interested parties in regards to the 

Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum, which we addressed in 

the Final Scope Decision 

Memorandum.6 Commerce has made no 

changes to the scope of this 

investigation since the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 

this investigation are discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues raised by parties, and 

to which we responded in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum, is attached 

to this notice at Appendix II. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, 

Commerce determines that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.7 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our final determination, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

In making this final determination, 

Commerce relied, in part, on facts 

available pursuant to section 776(a) of 

the Act. Additionally, as discussed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

because one or more respondents did 

not act to the best of their ability in 

responding to our requests for 

information, we drew adverse 

inferences, where appropriate, in 

selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, pursuant to section 

776(b) of the Act. This includes eight 

companies that did not respond to 

Commerce’s quantity and value 

questionnaire; as described in the 

Preliminary Determination,8 we have 

applied an adverse inference in 

selection of facts available for 

determining the subsidy rates for these 

companies, pursuant to section 776(d) 

of the Act. For further information, see 

the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise 

Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in 

the accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

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 Act.9

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the comments received from parties, we 

made certain changes to Zhejiang 

Xingi’s subsidy rate calculations, the 

adverse facts available rate assigned to 

firms that did not respond to 

Commerce’s quantity and value 

questionnaire, and the all-others rate. 

For a discussion of these changes, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

In accordance with section 

705(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) of the Act, Commerce 

calculated a countervailable subsidy 

rate for the individually investigated 

exporter/producer of the subject 

merchandise. Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the 

Act provides that, in the final 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. The rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any rates that are 

zero, de minimis, or rates based entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, as discussed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated countervailable subsidy rate 

for Zhejiang Xingyi, the only 

individually examined exporter/ 

producer in this investigation, that was 

not zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. As a 

result, the estimated weighted-average 

rate calculated for Zhejiang Xingyi is the 

rate assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated countervailable 

subsidy rates exist:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends 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, within five days 

of the date of the publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination and pursuant to section 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we 

instructed U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 

of entries of subject merchandise as 

described in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation’’ section entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption, effective December 14, 

2020, which is the date of publication 

of the Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, effective April 

13, 2021, we instructed CBP to 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries at that time, but 

to continue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries between 

December 14, 2020, and April 12, 2021. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a CVD order, reinstate the 

suspension of liquidation and require a 

cash deposit of estimated countervailing 

duties for such entries of subject 

merchandise in the amounts indicated 

above, in accordance with section 706(a) 

of the Act. If the ITC determines that 

material injury, or threat of material 

injury, does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated, and all estimated 

duties deposited or securities posted as 

a result of the suspension of liquidation 

will be refunded or canceled. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

affirmative determination that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

metal lockers from China. Because the 

final determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its 

final determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

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, this proceeding will be 

terminated, and all cash deposits will be 

refunded. If the ITC determines that 

such injury does exist, Commerce will 

issue a countervailing duty order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, 

countervailing duties on all imports of 

the subject merchandise that are 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

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

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 705(d) 

and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.210(c). 

Dated: June 28, 2021.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of this 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
35744 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 7, 2021 / Notices 

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 

gaps. 

d. Dividers: Dividers are metal panels that 

divide the space within a locker unit into 

different storage areas. 

e. Recess trim: Recess trim is a narrow 

metal trim that bridges the gap between 

lockers and walls or soffits when lockers are 

recessed into a wall. 

f. Decorative end panels: End panels fit 

onto the exposed ends of locker units to 

cover holes, bolts, nuts, screws and other 

fasteners. They typically are painted to match 

the lockers. 

g. End caps: End caps fit onto the exposed 

ends of locker units to cover holes, bolts, 

nuts, screws and other fasteners. 

The scope also includes all hardware for 

assembly and installation of the lockers and 

locker banks that are imported with or 

shipped, invoiced, or sold with the imported 

locker or locker system except the lock. 

Excluded from the scope are wire mesh 

lockers. Wire mesh lockers are those with 

each of the following characteristics: 

(1) At least three sides, including the door, 

made from wire mesh; 

(2) the width and depth each exceed 25 

inches; and 

(3) the height exceeds 90 inches. 

Also excluded are lockers with bodies 

made entirely of plastic, wood, or any 

nonmetallic material. 

Also excluded are exchange lockers with 

multiple individual locking doors mounted 

on one master locking door to access 

multiple units. Excluded exchange lockers 

have multiple individual storage spaces, 

typically arranged in tiers, with access doors 

for each of the multiple individual storage 

space mounted on a single frame that can be 

swung open to allow access to all of the 

individual storage spaces at once. For 

example, uniform or garment exchange 

lockers are designed for the distinct function 

of securely and hygienically exchanging 

clean and soiled uniforms. Thus, excluded 

exchange lockers are a multi-access point 

locker whereas covered lockers are a single 

access point locker for personal storage. The 

excluded exchange lockers include 

assembled exchange lockers and those that 

enter in ‘knock down’ form in which all of 

the parts and components to assemble a 

completed exchange locker unit are packaged 

together. Parts for exchange lockers that are 

imported separately from the exchange 

lockers in ‘knock down’ form are not 

excluded. 

Also excluded are metal lockers that are 

imported with an installed electronic, 

internet-enabled locking device that permits 

communication or connection between the 

locker’s locking device and other internet 

connected devices. 

Also excluded are locks and hardware and 

accessories for assembly and installation of 

the lockers, locker banks and storage systems 

that are separately imported in bulk and are 

not incorporated into a locker, locker system 

or knocked down kit at the time of 

importation. Such excluded hardware and 

accessories include but are not limited to 

locks and bulk imported rivets, nuts, bolts, 

hinges, door handles, door/frame latching 

components, and coat hooks. Accessories of 

sheet metal, including but not limited to end 

panels, bases, dividers and sloping tops, are 

not excluded accessories. 

Mobile tool chest attachments that meet 

the physical description above are covered by 

the scope of this investigation, unless such 

attachments are covered by the scope of the 

orders on certain tool chests and cabinets 

from China. If the orders on certain tool 

chests and cabinets from China are revoked, 

the mobile tool chest attachments from China 

will be covered by the scope of this 

investigation. 

The scope also excludes metal safes with 

each of the following characteristics: (1) Pry 

resistant, concealed hinges; (2) body walls 

and doors of steel that are at least 17 gauge 

(0.05625 inch or 1.42874 mm thick); and (3) 

an integrated locking mechanism that 

includes at least two round steel bolts 0.75 

inch (19 mm) or larger in diameter; or three

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.

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
