Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity To Request

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 

482–4735. 

Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) conduct 

an administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by the Department 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, the 

Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S. 

imports during the period of review. We 

intend to release the CBP data under 

Administrative Protective Order 

(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO 

within five days of publication of the 

initiation notice and to make our 

decision regarding respondent selection 

within 21 days of publication of the 

initiation Federal Register notice. 

Therefore, we encourage all parties 

interested in commenting on respondent 

selection to submit their APO 

applications on the date of publication 

of the initiation notice, or as soon 

thereafter as possible. The Department 

invites comments regarding the CBP 

data and respondent selection within 

five days of placement of the CBP data 

on the record of the review. 

In the event the Department decides 

it is necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. 

In general, the Department finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, the Department 

will not conduct collapsing analyses at 

the respondent selection phase of this 

review and will not collapse companies 

at the respondent selection phase unless 

there has been a determination to 

collapse certain companies in a 

previous segment of this antidumping 

proceeding (i.e., investigation, 

administrative review, new shipper 

review or changed circumstances 

review). For any company subject to this 

review, if the Department determined, 

or continued to treat, that company as 

collapsed with others, the Department 

will assume that such companies 

continue to operate in the same manner 

and will collapse them for respondent 

selection purposes. Otherwise, the 

Department will not collapse companies 

for purposes of respondent selection. 

Parties are requested to (a) identify 

which companies subject to review 

previously were collapsed, and (b) 

provide a citation to the proceeding in 

which they were collapsed. Further, if 

companies are requested to complete 

the Quantity and Value Questionnaire 

for purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

where the Department considered 

collapsing that entity, complete quantity 

and value data for that collapsed entity 

must be submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

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

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that the Department 

may extend this time if it is reasonable 

to do so. In order to provide parties 

additional certainty with respect to 

when the Department will exercise its 

discretion to extend this 90-day 

deadline, interested parties are advised 

that, with regard to reviews requested 

on the basis of anniversary months on 

or after November 2014, the Department 

does not intend to extend the 90-day 

deadline unless the requestor 

demonstrates that an extraordinary 

circumstance prevented it from 

submitting a timely withdrawal request. 

Determinations by the Department to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

The Department is providing this 

notice on its Web site, as well as in its 

‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review’’ notices, so that interested 

parties will be aware of the manner in 

which the Department intends to 

exercise its discretion in the future. 

Opportunity To Request a Review: Not 

later than the last day of November 

2014,1 interested parties may request 

administrative review of the following 

orders, findings, or suspended 

investigations, with anniversary dates in 

November for the following periods:

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the interested party must 

specify the individual producers or 

exporters covered by an antidumping 

finding or an antidumping or 

countervailing duty order or suspension 

agreement for which it is requesting a 

review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. If the interested party intends 

for the Secretary to review sales of 

merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which was produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover. 

Note that, for any party the 

Department was unable to locate in 

prior segments, the Department will not 

accept a request for an administrative 

review of that party absent new 

information as to the party’s location. 

Moreover, if the interested party who 

files a request for review is unable to 

locate the producer or exporter for 

which it requested the review, the 

interested party must provide an 

explanation of the attempts it made to 

locate the producer or exporter at the 

same time it files its request for review, 

in order for the Secretary to determine 

if the interested party’s attempts were 

reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011) the Department 

clarified its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.2

Further, as explained in Antidumping 

Proceedings: Announcement of Change 

in Department Practice for Respondent 

Selection in Antidumping Duty 

Proceedings and Conditional Review of 

the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME 

Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 

65963 (November 4, 2013), the 

Department clarified its practice with 

regard to the conditional review of the 

non-market economy (NME) entity in 

administrative reviews of antidumping 

duty orders. The Department will no 

longer consider the NME entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to 

administrative reviews. Accordingly, 

the NME entity will not be under review 

unless the Department specifically 

receives a request for, or self-initiates, a 

review of the NME entity.3 In 

administrative reviews of antidumping 

duty orders on merchandise from NME 

countries where a review of the NME 

entity has not been initiated, but where 

an individual exporter for which a 

review was initiated does not qualify for 

a separate rate, the Department will 

issue a final decision indicating that the 

company in question is part of the NME 

entity. However, in that situation, 

because no review of the NME entity 

was conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review

(although the rate for the individual

finding that the exporter is part of the

Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries for all 

exporters not named in the initiation 

notice, including those that were 

suspended at the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized

ACCESS’’) on the IA ACCESS Web site 

at http://iaaccess.trade.gov.4 Further, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i), 

a copy of each request must be served 

on the petitioner and each exporter or 

producer specified in the request. 

The Department will publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation 

of Administrative Review of 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation’’ for requests received by 

the last day of November 2014. If the 

Department does not receive, by the last 

day of November 2014, a request for 

review of entries covered by an order, 

finding, or suspended investigation 

listed in this notice and for the period 

identified above, the Department will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping or 

countervailing duties on those entries at 

a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or 

bond for) estimated antidumping or 

countervailing duties required on those 

entries at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption and to continue to collect 

the cash deposit previously ordered. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the period of review. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) preliminarily 

determines that de minimis 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers/exporters of 

certain steel nails (nails) from the 

Sultanate of Oman (Oman). The period 

of investigation is January 1, 2013, 

through December 31, 2013. Interested 

parties are invited to comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 3, 

2014.

telephone: (202) 482–1391 and (202) 

482–4852, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

25, 2014, the Department initiated this 

countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigation.1 On the same day, the 

Department also initiated an 

antidumping duty (AD) investigation of 

nails from Oman.2 On August 7, in 

response to a request from the 

Petitioner, Mid-Continent Steel & Wire, 

Inc., the Department postponed the 

preliminary determinations in the CVD 

investigations. 

Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty 

(CVD) Determination With Final 

Antidumping Duty (AD) Determination 

In accordance with section 705(a)(1) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), and 

based on Petitioner’s request, we are 

aligning the final CVD determination in 

this investigation with the final 

determination in the companion AD 

investigation of nails from Oman. 

Consequently, the final CVD 

determination will be issued on the 

same date as the final AD 

determination, which is currently 

scheduled to be issued no later than 

March 2, 2015, unless postponed. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are certain steel nails. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the investigation, see Appendix 1 to this 

notice. 

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

CVD investigation in accordance with 

section 701 of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary conclusions, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3 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 

(IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

iaaccess.trade.gov, and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

In accordance with section 

703(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, we calculated 

a CVD rate for Oman Fasteners LLC, the 

only individually investigated 

producer/exporter of the subject 

merchandise. 

Preliminary Determination 

We preliminarily determine the 

countervailable subsidy rates to be: 

Company Subsidy rate 

Oman Fasteners LLC ...... 0.25 percent (de 

minimis).4
