Frontseating Service Valves From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013-
2014

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frontseating
service valves from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The
period of review (``POR'') is April 1, 2013, through April 28, 2014.
The review covers one exporter of the subject merchandise, Zhejiang
Sanhua Co., Ltd. (``Sanhua''). The Department preliminarily finds that
Sanhua made no sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value
during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

DATES: Effective Date: April 8, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel LaCivita, Enforcement and
Compliance, Office III, International Trade Administration, Department
of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230;
telephone: (202) 482-4243.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope of the Order

The merchandise covered by this order is frontseating service
valves, assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, and certain
parts thereof of any size, configuration, material composition or
connection type.\1\ Frontseating service valves are classified under
subheading 8481.80.1095, and also have been classified under subheading
8415.90.80.85, of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(``HTSUS''). It is possible for frontseating service valves to be
manufactured out of primary materials other than copper and brass, in
which case they would be classified under HTSUS subheadings
8481.80.3040, 8481.80.3090, or 8481.80.5090. In addition, if
unassembled or incomplete frontseating service valves are imported, the
various parts or components would be classified under HTSUS subheadings
8481.90.1000, 8481.90.3000, or 8481.90.5000. The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, but the written
description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ See ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of 2013-
2014 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Frontseating Service
Valves from the People's Republic of China,'' dated concurrently
with this notice and herein incorporated by reference (``Preliminary
Decision Memorandum'') for a complete description of the scope of
the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').
Constructed export prices are calculated in accordance with section
772(b) of the Act. Because the PRC is a non-market economy (``NME'')
within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, normal value is
calculated in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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
(``ACCESS'').\2\ ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and 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://www.trade.gov/enforcement/. The signed Preliminary
Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in content. A list of the topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, is attached as the
Appendix to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ 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 reference to the Regulations can be
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of Review

The Department preliminarily determines that the following
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the POR April 1, 2013,
through April 28, 2014:

Disclosure and Public Comment

The Department intends to disclose to the parties the calculations
performed for these preliminary results within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Interested parties may submit written comments no later than 30
days after the date of publication of these preliminary results of
review.\3\ Rebuttals to written comments may be filed no later than

[[Page 18812]]

five days after the written comments are filed.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\3\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of
publication of this notice.\5\ Hearing requests should contain the
following information: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to
be discussed. Oral presentations will be limited to issues raised in
the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be
notified of the time and date for the hearing to be held at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC
20230.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\5\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless otherwise extended, the Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative review, which will include the
results of its analysis of issues raised in any such comments, within
120 days of publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

Upon issuance of the final results of this review, the Department
will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review.\7\ The Department intends
to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis, we will calculate importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\8\ For duty assessment rates calculated on this basis,
we will direct CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem rate against the
entered customs values for the subject merchandise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\8\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in
NME 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. In addition, if the
Department determines that an 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\9\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

Because the antidumping duty order on frontseating service valves
from the PRC was revoked,\10\ the Department will not issue cash
deposit instructions at the conclusion of this administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\10\ See Frontseating Service Valves from the People's Republic
of China: Final Results of Sunset Review and Revocation of
Antidumping Duty Order, 79 FR 27573 (May 14, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing notice of these results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: March 31, 2015.
