the subsidy rates calculated for Chandan 

and Kisaan using publicly ranged sales 

data submitted by the respondents.6 We 

have made no changes to the subsidy 

rate calculated for companies not 

selected for individual review. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), we determine the total 

estimated net countervailable subsidy 

rates for the period January 1, 2019, 

through December 31, 2019, to be as 

follows: 

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Chandan Steel Limited ......... 5.51 

Kisaan Die Tech Pvt Ltd ...... 5.28 

Non-Selected Companies 

Under Review 7 ................. 5.49 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with final 

results within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of the notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because there are no changes 

from the Preliminary Results, there are 

no new calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rate 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act, upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review. Commerce intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions to 

CBP no earlier than 35 days after 

publication of these final results. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties in the amounts 

indicated above with regard to 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP 

will continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of proceeding. 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 

These final results are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2008, Commerce 

published the antidumping duty order 

on nails from China.1 On August 2, 

2021, we published a notice of 

opportunity for interested parties to 

request that Commerce conduct an 

administrative review of the Order.2 On 

August 31, 2021, Commerce received 

requests for an administrative review 

from Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. 

(the petitioner), and from Tianjin Jinchi 

Metal Products Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Jinchi), 

Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co. 

(Shanghai Yueda), and Tianjin Jinghai 

County Hongli Industry & Business Co. 

(Tianjin Jinghai) (collectively, foreign 

interested parties).3 Commerce 

published the initiation of this 

administrative review on October 7, 

2021.4 The POR is August 1, 2020, 

through July 31, 2021. After publication 

of the Initiation Notice, Shanghai Yueda 

withdrew its participation in this 

administrative review.5 No company 

submitted a separate rate application or 

certification to establish its eligibility 

for a separate rate. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I to this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via the 

Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at https://

access.trade.gov/public/FRNotices

ListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are nails from China. A full description 

of the scope of the Order is contained 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Thirteen companies submitted no 

shipment certifications. Based on our 

analysis of U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) information and 

information provided by companies 

subject to this review, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that 11 

companies had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR.7

Additionally, two of these companies, 

Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products 

Co., Ltd. (Dezhou Hualude) and Tianjin 

Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. 

(Tianjin Zhonglian) failed to support 

their claim of no shipments during the 

POR. For additional information 

regarding this determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Consistent with our practice, we are 

not rescinding this review with respect 

to these companies but, instead, intend 

to complete the review and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results of the review.8

China-Wide Entity 

In accordance with Commerce’s 

policy, the China-wide entity will not be 

under review unless a party specifically 

requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a 

review of the China-wide entity.9

Because no party requested a review of 

the China-wide entity, the China-wide 

entity is not under review and the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the China-wide entity is not subject to 

change (i.e., 118.04 percent).10

Aside from the 11 companies which 

we preliminarily find made no 

shipments during the POR, Commerce 

considers all other companies for which 

a review was requested, and which did 

not demonstrate their separate rate 

eligibility to be part of the China-wide 

entity.11

Preliminary Results 

Commerce finds that no company 

subject to this administrative review has 

established its eligibility for a separate 

rate. Because 15 companies did not 

submit separate rate applications or 

certifications, or no-shipment 

certifications, and two companies which 

submitted no-shipment certifications 

failed to respond to the results of our 

no-shipment inquiry to demonstrate 

they had no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, we preliminarily determine 

that these 17 companies are not eligible 

for a separate rate and are part of the 

China-wide entity. See Appendix II of 

this notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Normally, Commerce discloses the 

calculations used in its analysis to 

parties in a review within five days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

preliminary results, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.224(b). However, in this

case, there are no calculations on the 

record to disclose. 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs no later than 30 days after the 

date of publication of these preliminary 

results of review.12 Rebuttal briefs may 

be filed no later than seven days after 

the written comments are filed, and all 

rebuttal comments must be limited to 

comments raised in the case briefs.13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2), 

parties submitting case briefs or rebuttal 

briefs in this review 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 wishing to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, within 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice. Hearing requests should contain 

the party’s name, address, telephone 

number, the number of participants, and 

a list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, parties 

will be notified of the date and time for 

the hearing to be held.14 Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. Parties are 

reminded that all briefs and hearing 

requests must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS and received 

successfully in their entirety by 5 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the due date. Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving 

documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.15

Unless otherwise extended, we intend 

to issue the final results of this review, 

which will include the results of our 

analysis of the issues raised in any 

briefs, within 120 days of publication of 

these preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(h). 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). If the preliminary results 

are unchanged for the final results, we 

will instruct CBP to apply an ad 

valorem assessment rate of 118.04 

percent to all entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR which 

were exported by 17 companies in the 

China-wide entity. If Commerce 

continues to make a no-shipment 

finding in the final results for each of 

the 11 companies referenced in the 

‘‘Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments’’ section above, any 

suspended entries of subject 

merchandise associated with those 

companies will also be liquidated at the 

China-wide rate. 

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. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

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 

for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

For the companies identified above that 

have no shipments, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the rate previously 

assessed for each individual exporter of 

subject merchandise; (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Chinese and 

non-Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise for which a review was not 

requested and that received a separate 

rate based on a completed prior segment 

of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be that existing cash 

deposit rate published for the most 

recently completed period; (3) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be 118.04 percent, the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the China-wide entity from the lessthan-fair value investigation; and (4) for 

all non-Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own separate rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These cash deposit 

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 Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing the 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 and 

351.221(b)(4).

Results of the Expedited Sunset 

Reviews of the Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of these expedited 

sunset reviews, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on polyester staple fiber 

(PSF) from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea) and Taiwan would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping at levels identified in the 

‘‘Final Results of Sunset Reviews’’ 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable May 9, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 25, 2000, Commerce 

published the AD orders on PSF from 

Korea and Taiwan.1 On January 3, 2022, 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of the fourth sunset reviews of 

the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).2 On January 14, 2022, Commerce 

received timely and complete notices of 

intent to participate in these sunset 

reviews from the domestic interested 

parties 3 within the deadline specified 

in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i), after the date 

of publication of the Initiation Notice.4

The domestic interested parties claimed 

interested party status under sections 

771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers in 

the United States of the domestic-like 

product. 

On February 2, 2022, the domestic 

interested parties filed timely and 

adequate substantive responses, within 

the deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce received no 

substantive responses from any 

respondent interested parties nor was a 

hearing requested.6 As a result, 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), 

Commerce conducted expedited, i.e.,
