Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 3, 2014 / Notices 71743 

9As explained in the Germany, Japan, the PRC, 

and Sweden Final Determinations, the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for the PRCwide entity will be adjusted for export subsidies. 

See Germany, Japan, the PRC, and Sweden Final 

Determinations, 79 FR at 61612. Accordingly, we 

offset the estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for the PRC-wide entity of 407.52 percent 

by the countervailing duty rate attributable to 

export subsidies (i.e., 10.77 percent) to calculate the 

cash deposit ad valorem rate for the PRC-wide 

entity of 396.75 percent. For information regarding 

these export subsidies, see PRC CVD Final 

Determination and accompanying Issues and 

Decision Memorandum at 8 (countervailed export 

subsidy programs: Preferential Export Financing 

from the Export-Import Bank of China (1.06 

percent) and Tax Refunds for Reinvestment of FIE 

Profits in Export-Oriented Enterprises (9.71 

percent)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department published the 

Preliminary Results on May 28, 2014.2

Between May 21, 2014, and July 15, 

2014, the Department issued 

supplemental questionnaires to RMB 

Fasteners Ltd., IFI & Morgan Ltd., and 

Jiaxing Brother Standard Part Co., Ltd. 

(collectively ‘‘the RMB/IFI Group’’). On 

June 18, 2014, and July 22, 2014, the 

RMB/IFI Group submitted its responses 

to those supplemental questionnaires. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.309, 

we invited parties to comment on our 

Preliminary Results. Between August 4, 

2014, and August 11, 2014, interested 

parties submitted case and rebuttal 

briefs. Additionally, on August 25, 

2014, the Department extended the 

deadline for the final results to 

November 4, 2014.3 Moreover, on 

October 22, 2014, the Department again 

extended the final results to November 

24, 2014.4

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

includes steel threaded rod. The subject 

merchandise is currently classifiable 

under subheading 7318.15.5051, 

7318.15.5056, 7318.15.5090, and 

7318.15.2095 of the United States 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, our 

written description of the scope of the 

order, which is contained in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum (‘‘I&D Memo’’), is 

dispositive.5

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 

these reviews in the I&D Memo, and 

attached to this notice, in Appendix I, 

a list of the issues which parties raised. 

The I&D Memo is a public document 

and is on file in the Central Records 

Unit (‘‘CRU’’), Room 7046 of the main 

Department of Commerce building, as 

well as electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (‘‘ACCESS’’). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov and in the 

CRU. In addition, a complete version of 

the I&D Memo can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://

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

The signed I&D Memo and the 

electronic versions of the I&D Memo are 

identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, we revised the margin 

calculations for the RMB/IFI Group. 

Specifically, we incorporated into our 

calculations a revised database that was 

submitted by the RMB/IFI Group after 

the Preliminary Results.6 For a list of all 

issues addressed in these final results, 

please refer to Appendix I 

accompanying this notice. 

PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity 

For the PRC-Wide Entity, the 

Department in the Preliminary Results 

assigned the rate of 206 percent, the 

only rate ever determined for the PRCWide Entity in this proceeding.7

Because this rate is the same as the PRCWide rate from previous segments in 

this proceeding and nothing on the 

record of the instant review calls into 

question the reliability of the PRC-Wide 

rate, we find it appropriate to continue 

to apply the PRC-Wide rate of 206 

percent.8

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department determined that those 

companies which did not demonstrate 

eligibility for a separate rate are 

properly considered part of the PRCWide Entity.9 Since the Preliminary 

Results, none of these companies 

submitted comments regarding these 

findings. Therefore, we continue to treat 

these companies as part of the PRCWide Entity.10

Additionally, in the Preliminary 

Results, for 68 companies, the 

Department found that, while the 

request for review had been withdrawn, 

none of these companies had a separate 

rate. Accordingly, these 68 companies 

remained part of the PRC-wide entity, 

which remained under review for the 

Preliminary Results.11 Thus, the 

Department did not rescind the review 

for any of these 68 companies in the 

Preliminary Results.12 Since the 

Preliminary Results, no party has 

presented any information to the 

contrary and thus, these 68 companies 

remain part of the PRC-Wide Entity, 

which remains under review for the 

final results.13

Final Results of Administrative Review

margins for the administrative review 

are as follows:

19See Non-Market Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694 (October 24, 2011). 

Department will determine, 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. The 

Department intends to issue appropriate 

assessment instructions directly to CBP 

15 days after publication of the final 

results of this administrative review. 

Where the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, we calculated 

importer (or customer)-specific ad 

valorem rates by aggregating the 

dumping margins calculated for all U.S. 

sales to each importer (or customer) and 

dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the sales to each 

importer (or customer).15 Where the 

Department calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the 

total amount of dumping for reviewed 

sales to that party by the total sales 

quantity associated with those 

transactions, the Department will direct 

CBP to assess importer-specific 

assessment rates based on the resulting 

per-unit rates.16 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is greater than de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to collect 

the appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation.17 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.18

The Department announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

non-market economy cases. Pursuant to 

this refinement in practice, for entries 

that were not reported in the U.S. sales 

databases submitted by companies 

individually examined during this 

review, the Department will instruct 

CBP to liquidate such entries at the 

PRC-Wide rate. Additionally, if the 

Department determines that an exporter 

had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s case 

number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will 

be liquidated at the PRC-Wide rate.19

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided for by section 

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

exporters listed above, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established in the 

final results of review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 

percent, a zero cash deposit rate will be 

required for that company); (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-Wide rate of 206 percent; 

and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. The deposit requirements 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Disclosure 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

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 POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to 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, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return or 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. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain preserved mushrooms, 

whether imported whole, sliced, diced, 

or as stems and pieces. The certain 

preserved mushrooms covered under 

this order are the species Agaricus 

bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. 

‘‘Certain Preserved Mushrooms’’ refers 

to mushrooms that have been prepared 

or preserved by cleaning, blanching, and 

sometimes slicing or cutting. These 

mushrooms are then packed and heated 

in containers including, but not limited 

to, cans or glass jars in a suitable liquid 

medium, including, but not limited to, 

water, brine, butter or butter sauce. 

Certain preserved mushrooms may be 

imported whole, sliced, diced, or as 

stems and pieces. Included within the 

scope of this order are ‘‘brined’’ 

mushrooms, which are presalted and 

packed in a heavy salt solution to 

provisionally preserve them for further 

processing. The merchandise subject to 

this order is classifiable under 

subheadings: 2003.10.0127, 

2003.10.0131, 2003.10.0137, 

2003.10.0143, 2003.10.0147, 

2003.10.0153, and 0711.51.0000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and Customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

order is dispositive.1

No Shipments Certification

Accordingly, on October 17, 2014, the 

Department sent an inquiry to U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

determine whether CBP entry data is 

consistent with the no shipments 

certifications from XITIC and 

Zhangzhou Hongda. The Department 

received no information contrary to 

either XITIC’s or Zhangzhou Hongda’s 

claims of no shipments. Based on the 

no-shipment certifications and our 

analysis of the CBP information, we 

preliminary determine that both XITIC 

and Zhangzhou Hongda did not have 

any reviewable transactions during the 

POR. In addition, for both XITIC and 

Zhangzhou Hongda, the Department 

finds that consistent with its recently 

announced refinement to its assessment 

practice in non-market economy (NME) 

cases, it is appropriate not to rescind the 

review in part in this circumstance but, 

rather, to complete the review with 

respect to both XITIC and Zhangzhou 

Hongda and issue appropriate 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of the review.2 However, since 

Dezhou Kaihang, Fujian Haishan, Fujian 

Pinghe, Fujian Zishan, Inter-Foods, and 

Xiamen Longhuai were part of the PRCwide entity at the outset of this 

administrative review, and continue to 

be part of the PRC-wide entity in this 

administrative review, we are not 

making a determination of no shipments 

with respect to Dezhou Kaihang, Fujian 

Haishan, Fujian Pinghe, Fujian Zishan, 

Inter-Foods, and Xiamen Longhuai for 

the preliminary results of the instant 

administrative review.
