SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 7, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results. We received case and rebuttal briefs with respect to the 
Preliminary Results. We conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order are HSLWs. The product is 
currently classified under subheading 7318.21.0000, 7318.21.0030, and 
7318.21.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 
and customs purposes, the written product description is dispositive. A 
full description of the scope of the order is contained in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by 
this notice.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Memorandum ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Helical 
Spring Lock Washers From the People's Republic of China; 2012-2013'' 
dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice (Issues 
and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to 
this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as 
an appendix. 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).\3\ ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is also 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 
Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the 
Enforcement and Compliance Web site at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the 
name of Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized 
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS) to AD and CVD Centralized 
Electronic Service System (ACCESS). The Web site location was 
changed from http://iaaccess.trade.gov to http://access.trade.gov. 
The Final Rule changing the references to the regulations can be 
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of comments received, we made revisions that 
have changed the results for Jiangsu RC. These changes include changes 
to the valuation of certain factors of production and calculation 
programming changes. For further details on the changes we made for 
these final results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity

    For the Preliminary Results, the Department assigned to the PRC-
wide entity the rate of 128.63 percent, the rate determined for the 
PRC-wide entity in this proceeding.\4\ Based on comments from 
interested parties in this administrative review, as discussed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum, we have calculated a final margin for 
Jiangsu RC of 192.88 percent, which is also the new rate for the PRC-
wide entity.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Helical Spring Lock 
Washers From the People's Republic of China, 58 FR 53914 (October 
19, 1993) and Amended Final Determination and Amended Antidumping 
Duty Order: Certain Helical Spring Lock Washers From the People's 
Republic of China, 58 FR 61859 (November 23, 1993).
    \5\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that Guoxin, 
which ceased participating in this review, did not demonstrate its 
eligibility for a separate rate and, therefore, Guoxin is part of the 
PRC-wide entity. No party commented on this finding. For the final 
results, we have continued to treat Guoxin as part of the PRC-wide 
entity.
    In the Preliminary Results we also determined that, while the 
request for review had been timely withdrawn for Winnsen, Winnsen did 
not have a separate rate prior to the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, 
the Department did not rescind the review with respect to Winnsen and 
it remained part of the PRC-wide entity, which remained under 
review.\6\ No party commented on this finding. For the final results, 
we continue to treat Winnsen as part of the PRC-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 47363,

Selvedge From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2010-2011, 78 FR 10130 
(February 13, 2013). As noted in the Preliminary Results, a change 
in practice with respect to the conditional review of the PRC-wide 
entity is not applicable to this administrative review. See 
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

2013).

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of this administrative review, we determine that the 
following weighted-average dumping margins exist:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                              (percent)

Jiangsu RC Import & Export Co., Ltd........................       192.88

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review. For customers or importers of Jiangsu RC for 
which we do not have entered value, we calculated customer-/importer-
specific antidumping duty assessment amounts based on the ratio of the 
total amount of dumping duties calculated for the examined sales of 
subject merchandise to the total sales quantity of those same sales.\7\ 
For customers or importers of Jiangsu RC for which we received entered-
value

[[Page 13835]]

information, we have calculated customer/importer-specific antidumping 
duty assessment rates based on customer/importer-specific ad valorem 
rates in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in 
NME cases.\8\ 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, including, in this case, 
Guoxin and Winnsen, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such 
entries at the revised PRC-wide rate of 192.88 percent. In addition, 
for companies for which the Department determined that the exporter 
under review 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market 
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the 
date of publication of the final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of these final results of review for all shipments of the 
subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject merchandise exported by the 
companies listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established in these final results of review for each 
exporter as listed above; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed 
PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a separate 
rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide 
entity; (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 exporter that supplied that non-PRC exporter. 
These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification

    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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as the only 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). 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    These final results of review are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 9, 2015.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
