Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For a discussion of the comment 

received, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.6 The Issues and 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 Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Review 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Results, we continue to determine that 

the sole respondent under review, Tian 

Mei, did not establish its eligibility for 

a separate rate and is part of the Chinawide entity. No parties commented on 

this decision. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

has determined, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise in 

accordance with the final results of this 

review. No earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, Commerce intends to 

instruct CBP to liquidate any entries of 

subject merchandise from Tian Mei that 

entered the United States during the 

POR at the China-wide rate (i.e., 216.01 

percent). 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 upon 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register for all shipments of subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice, as provided by 

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

previously investigated or reviewed 

China and non-China exporters which 

are not under review in this review, but 

which received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter’s existing cash deposit rate; (2) 

for all China exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

China-wide entity rate (i.e., 216.01 

percent); and (3) for all non-China 

exporters of subject merchandise that do 

not have their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

China exporter(s) that supplied that 

non-China exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties/and or 

countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during the 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 final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under the APO in 

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

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the 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 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

9With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for 

the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of 

the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 

of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents using each company’s 

publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the 

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the Order for the POR.2 In 

April 2021 we received timely requests 

from multiple parties to conduct an 

administrative review of the Order. On 

June 11, 2021, we published a notice of 

initiation for this administrative 

review.3 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 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).

at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

On December 3, 2021, Commerce 

extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this review by 120 

days to May 2, 2022.5

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order covers 

threaded rod from China. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

We are conducting this administrative 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For each of the 

subsidy programs found 

countervailable, we determine that there 

is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

confers a benefit to the recipient, and 

that the subsidy is specific.6 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary conclusions, 

including our reliance, in part, on 

adverse facts available pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

A list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

provided in Appendix I to this notice. 

Rescission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. Commerce received 

withdrawal requests with respect to the 

18 companies listed in Appendix II.7

Because the withdrawal requests were 

timely filed and no other parties 

requested a review of these companies, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding 

this review of the Order for the 18 

companies listed in Appendix II.8

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies 

There are three companies for which 

a review was requested and not 

rescinded, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents or found to 

be cross-owned with a mandatory 

respondent: (1) Ningbo Dingtuo Imp. & 

Exp. Co., Ltd.; (2) Ningbo Dongxin HighStrength Nut Co., Ltd.; and (3) Ningbo 

Jinding Fastening Piece Co., Ltd. For 

these non-selected companies, because 

the rates calculated for the mandatory 

respondents, Zhejiang Junyue Standard 

Part Co., Ltd. (Junyue) and Ningbo 

Zhongjiang High Strength Bolts Co., Ltd. 

(Zhongjiang Bolts), were above de 

minimis and not based entirely on facts 

available, we are applying the weighted 

average of the net countervailable 

subsidy rates calculated for the 

mandatory respondents, which we 

calculated using the publicly-ranged 

sales data submitted by Junyue and 

Zhongjiang Bolts.9 This methodology to 

establish the non-selected subsidy rate 

is consistent with our practice with 

regard to the all others rate pursuant to 

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

Preliminary Results of Administrative 

Review 

As a result of this administrative 

review, we preliminarily find that the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates exist for the period July 29, 2019, 

through December 31, 2020: 

Company Subsidy rate—2019 

(percent ad valorem) 

Subsidy rate—2020 

(percent ad valorem) 

Ningbo Zhongjiang High Strength Bolts Co., Ltd 10 ................................................................ 8.36 7.65 

Zhejiang Junyue Standard Part Co., Ltd 11 ............................................................................. 7.22 7.97 

Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies 

Ningbo Dingtuo Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd ...................................................................................... 7.95 7.75 

Ningbo Dongxin High-Strength Nut Co., Ltd ........................................................................... 7.95 7.75 

Ningbo Jinding Fastening Piece Co., Ltd ................................................................................ 7.95 7.75

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this administrative review, consistent 

with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. For the 

18 companies for which this review is 

rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP 

to assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries at the rate equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period July 29, 2019, through December 

31, 2020, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(l)(i). 

For the companies remaining in the 

review, 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 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, Commerce intends, upon 

publication of the final results, to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts calculated in the final results 

of this review for the respective 

companies listed above, on shipments of 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review. If the rate 

calculated in the final results is zero or 

de minimis, no cash deposit will be 

required on shipments of the 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 nonreviewed companies, CBP will continue 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the all-others 

rate (i.e., 41.17 percent) 12 or the most 

recent company-specific rate applicable 

to the company, as appropriate. These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice.
