Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is certain steel nails having a 

nominal shaft or shank length not exceeding 

12 inches. Certain steel nails include, but are 

not limited to, nails made from round wire 

and nails that are cut from flat-rolled steel or 

long-rolled flat steel bars. Certain steel nails 

may be of one piece construction or 

constructed of two or more pieces. Examples 

of nails constructed of two or more pieces 

include, but are not limited to, anchors 

comprised of an anchor body made of zinc 

or nylon and a steel pin or a steel nail; crimp 

drive anchors; split-drive anchors, and strike 

pin anchors. Also included in the scope are 

anchors of one piece construction. 

Certain steel nails may be produced from 

any type of steel, and may have any type of 

surface finish, head type, shank, point type 

and shaft diameter. Finishes include, but are 

not limited to, coating in vinyl, zinc 

(galvanized, including but not limited to 

electroplating or hot dipping one or more 

times), phosphate, cement, and paint. Certain 

steel nails may have one or more surface 

finishes. Head styles include, but are not 

limited to, flat, projection, cupped, oval, 

brad, headless, double, countersunk, and 

sinker. Shank or shaft styles include, but are 

not limited to, smooth, barbed, screw 

threaded, ring shank and fluted. 

Screw-threaded nails subject to this 

proceeding are driven using direct force and 

not by turning the nail using a tool that 

engages with the head. Point styles include, 

but are not limited to, diamond, needle, 

chisel and blunt or no point. Certain steel 

nails may be sold in bulk, or they may be 

collated in any manner using any material. 

Excluded from the scope are certain steel 

nails packaged in combination with one or 

more non-subject articles, if the total number 

of nails of all types, in aggregate regardless 

of size, is less than 25. If packaged in 

combination with one or more non-subject 

articles, certain steel nails remain subject 

merchandise if the total number of nails of 

all types, in aggregate regardless of size, is 

equal to or greater than 25, unless otherwise 

excluded based on the other exclusions 

below. 

Also excluded from the scope are certain 

steel nails with a nominal shaft or shank 

length of one inch or less that are a 

component of an unassembled article, where 

the total number of nails is sixty (60) or less, 

and the imported unassembled article falls 

into one of the following eight groupings: (1) 

Builders’ joinery and carpentry of wood that 

are classifiable as windows, French-windows 

and their frames; (2) builders’ joinery and 

carpentry of wood that are classifiable as 

doors and their frames and thresholds; (3) 

swivel seats with variable height adjustment; 

(4) seats that are convertible into beds (with 

the exception of those classifiable as garden 

seats or camping equipment); (5) seats of 

cane, osier, bamboo or similar materials; (6) 

other seats with wooden frames (with the 

exception of seats of a kind used for aircraft 

or motor vehicles); (7) furniture (other than 

seats) of wood (with the exception of (i) 

medical, surgical, dental or veterinary 

furniture; and (ii) barbers’ chairs and similar 

chairs, having rotating as well as both 

reclining and elevating movements); or (8) 

furniture (other than seats) of materials other 

than wood, metal, or plastics (e.g., furniture 

of cane, osier, bamboo or similar materials). 

The aforementioned imported unassembled 

articles are currently classified under the 

following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 4418.10, 

4418.20, 9401.30, 9401.40, 9401.51, 9401.59,

9403.60, 9403.81 or 9403.89. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are nails suitable for use in 

powder-actuated hand tools, whether or not 

threaded, which are currently classified 

under HTSUS subheadings 7317.00.2000 and 

7317.00.3000. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are nails suitable for use in gasactuated hand tools. These nails have a case 

hardness greater than or equal to 50 on the 

Rockwell Hardness C scale (HRC), a carbon 

content greater than or equal to 0.5 percent, 

a round head, a secondary reduced-diameter 

raised head section, a centered shank, and a 

smooth symmetrical point. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are corrugated nails. A 

corrugated nail is made up of a small strip 

of corrugated steel with sharp points on one 

side. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are thumb tacks, which are 

currently classified under HTSUS 

subheading 7317.00.1000. 

Also excluded from the scope are 

decorative or upholstery tacks. 

Certain steel nails subject to this 

investigation are currently classified under 

HTSUS subheadings 7317.00.5501, 

7317.00.5502, 7317.00.5503, 7317.00.5505,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 17, 2017, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

CVD order on silica fabric from China.1

On February 1, 2022, Commerce 

initiated the first sunset review of the 

Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).2 On February 16, 2022, Commerce 

received a timely filed notice of intent 

to participate from Auburn 

Manufacturing, Inc. (the domestic 

interested party) within the 15-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic 

interested party claimed interested party 

status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act 

as a producer of the domestic like 

product. 

On March 3, 2022, Commerce 

received an adequate substantive 

response to the Initiation Notice from 

the domestic interested party within the 

30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).4 We received no 

substantive responses from any other 

interested parties, including the 

Government of China, and no interested 

party requested a hearing. On March 21, 

2022, Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties.5 As a result, pursuant to section 

751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)–(C), Commerce 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the Order. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this order is 

silica fabric. For a complete description 

of the scope of the Order, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum.6

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this sunset review 

are addressed in the accompanying 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

including the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of countervailable 

subsidies and the net countervailable 

subsidy likely to prevail if the Order 

were revoked.7 A list of the issues 

discussed in the decision memorandum 

is attached as the appendix to this 

notice. 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).

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(b) of the Act, Commerce determines 

that revocation of the Order would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of countervailable subsidies at the rates 

listed below.
