SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 3, 2020, based on timely requests for review by Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the petitioner), a domestic producer and interested party ^[1] and nine Taiwanese companies,^[2] Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation, covering 141 companies, of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails from Taiwan covering the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.^[3]

On September 21, 2020, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for administrative review for all companies originally requested, except for one company, Create Trading Co., Ltd.^[4] However, because eight of the companies withdrawn by the petitioner also self-requested an administrative review, and those companies have not withdrawn their review requests, we will not rescind the review with respect to those eight companies.^[5] Apart from the aforementioned eight companies, no other parties requested review of the companies withdrawn by the petitioner. Finally, we note that the petitioner did not request review of Hoyi Plus Co., Ltd., a ninth company that also self-requested a review. Therefore, only 10 companies remain for which all requests for review have not been withdrawn at this time.

Partial Rescission of Review

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Because all requests for administrative review of the 130 companies listed in the Appendix were withdrawn by the petitioner within 90 days of the date of publication of the Initiation Notice, and no other interested party requested a review of these 130 companies, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to these companies in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The administrative review remains active with respect to the following 10 companies: China Staple Enterprise Corporation, Create Trading Co., Ltd., Hor Liang Industrial Corp., Hoyi Plus Co., Ltd., Liang Chyuan Industrial Co., Ltd., Romp Coil Nail Industries Inc., Trim International Inc., UJL Industries Co., Ltd., Yu Chi Hardware Co., Ltd., and Zon Mon Co., Ltd.

Assessment

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, if appropriate.

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 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

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(a)(3), 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.

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Date: October 8, 2020.

James Maeder,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
