The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) is May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015. These final results cover 46 companies for which an administrative review was initiated and not rescinded. The Department selected the following companies as mandatory respondents: Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., Ltd. and Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd. (collectively, Jangho) and Guang Ya Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd., Foshan Guangcheng Aluminium Co., Ltd., Kong Ah International Company Limited, and Guang Ya Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd. (collectively, Guang Ya Group); Guangdong Zhongya Aluminium Company Limited, Zhongya Shaped Aluminium (HK) Holding Limited, and Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd. (collectively, Zhongya); and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product Co., Ltd. (Xinya) (collectively, Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya). The Department finds that Jangho, Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya, and 23 other companies subject to this review did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate, and, accordingly, are to be considered part of the PRC-wide entity. We also determine for these final results that two companies, Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited and Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited, had no shipments during the POR. Finally, we find that eight companies, including JMA (HK) Company Limited (JMA), continue to be eligible for a separate rate.

Aluminum Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2014-2015

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 aluminum 
extrusions from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of 
review (POR) is May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015. These final results 
cover 46 companies for which an administrative review was initiated and 
not rescinded. The Department selected the following companies as 
mandatory respondents: Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering 
Co., Ltd. and Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd. (collectively, Jangho) 
and Guang Ya Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd., Foshan Guangcheng 
Aluminium Co., Ltd., Kong Ah International Company Limited, and Guang 
Ya Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd. (collectively, Guang Ya 
Group); Guangdong Zhongya Aluminium Company Limited, Zhongya Shaped 
Aluminium (HK) Holding Limited, and Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd. 
(collectively, Zhongya); and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product 
Co., Ltd. (Xinya) (collectively, Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya). The 
Department finds that Jangho, Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya, and 23 
other companies subject to this review did not demonstrate eligibility 
for a separate rate, and, accordingly, are to be considered part of the 
PRC-wide entity. We also determine for these final results that two 
companies, Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited and Permasteelisa Hong Kong 
Limited, had no shipments during the POR. Finally, we find that eight 
companies, including JMA (HK) Company Limited (JMA), continue to be 
eligible for a separate rate.

DATES: Effective November 28, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department initiated this review on July 1, 2015.\1\ On June 
14, 2016, the Department published the Preliminary Results of this 
administrative review.\2\ At that time, we invited interested parties 
to comment on the Preliminary Results. On July 6, 2016, JMA submitted a 
letter stating that it was officially withdrawing from participation in 
this review and requesting that the Department remove all of JMA's 
submissions from the record.\3\ On July 14, 2016, we received a case 
brief from the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee 
(Petitioner).\4\ On July 19, 2016, we received a rebuttal brief from 
Jangho.\5\ On October 3, 2016, the Department extended the deadline for 
the final results of this administrative review until November 21, 
2016.\6\

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties 
in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 
which is incorporated herein by reference. A list of the issues which 
parties raised, and to which we respond in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, follows in the appendix to this notice. 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). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov and is available to all 
parties in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department 
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Issues and Decision 
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    The Department reconsidered the necessity of applying adverse facts 
available (AFA), pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930 (the Act), in the Preliminary Results with respect to Jangho 
and Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya \10\ in light of the Department's 
policy concerning the conditional review of the PRC-wide entity.\11\ 
For additional explanation, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 
``Application of Facts Available and Use of Adverse Inference.'' In 
addition, one company, JMA, withdrew from participation in this 
administrative review after the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In prior segments of this proceeding, the Department found 
that Guang Ya Group, Zhongya, and Xinya were affiliated with each 
other and should be treated as a single entity. See, e.g., Aluminum 
Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of

2013) (Conditional Review of NME Entity Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companies Eligible for a Separate Rate

    In our Preliminary Results, we determined that nine companies were 
eligible for a separate rate.\12\ These companies are: Allied Maker 
Limited; Birchwoods (Lin'an) Leisure Products Co., Ltd.; Changzhou 
Changzheng Evaporator Co., Ltd.; Dongguan Aoda Aluminum Co., Ltd.; JMA 
(HK) Company Limited (JMA); Kam Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn. Bhd.; 
Metaltek Group Co., Ltd.; Taishan City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., 
Ltd.; and Tianjin Jinmao Import & Export Corp., Ltd. We received no 
information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provides 
a basis for reconsideration of this determination. Therefore, the 
Department continues to find that these nine companies are eligible for 
a separate rate. For further discussion with respect to the application 
of a separate rate to JMA, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 
Comment 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 38666.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Non-Examined Companies Which Are Eligible for a Separate Rate

    The separate rate for non-selected companies is normally the amount 
equal to the weighted average of the calculated weighted-average 
dumping margins established for mandatory respondents, excluding any 
margins that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on adverse facts 
available.\13\ In the Preliminary Results,\14\ consistent with the 
Department's practice when addressing such a factual scenario,\15\ we

[[Page 85518]]

assigned the non-examined, separate-rate companies a rate that was not 
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Specifically, 
we assigned the non-examined, separate-rate companies a margin of 86.01 
percent, the sole margin calculated in the most recently completed 
segment of this proceeding for the mandatory respondent and applied to 
the non-examined separate-rate respondents in that segment of the 
proceeding.\16\ No parties commented on the methodology for calculating 
this separate rate.\17\ For the final results, we continue to apply 
this approach in accordance with section 735(c)(5) of the Act.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Neither the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) nor 
the Department's regulations address the establishment of the rate 
applied to individual separate rate companies not selected for 
examination where the Department limited its examination in an 
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. The 
Department's practice in administrative reviews involving limited 
selection based on exporters accounting for the largest volumes of 
exports has been to look to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for 
guidance, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others 
rate in an antidumping investigation.
    \14\ See Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 38666.
    \15\ See Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge From Taiwan; 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013-2014, 
81 FR 22578 (April 18, 2016) and accompanying Issues and Decision 
Memorandum at Comment 1; see also Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof 
From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews and Rescission of 
Reviews in Part, 73 FR 52823, 52824 (September 11, 2008) and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 16. This is 
also consistent with the Department's determination in prior 
segments of this proceeding. See 2010-2012 Final Results, 79 FR at 
99; 2012-2013 Final Results, 79 FR at 78786; and 2013-2014 Final 
Results, 80 FR at 75062. See also Yangzhou Bestpak Gifts & Crafts 
Co., Ltd. v. United States, 716 F.3d 1370, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2013) 
(recognizing and affirmatively discussing the Department's normal 
methodology for calculating a separate rate).
    \16\ See 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 FR at 75062-75063.
    \17\ We note that, while Petitioner commented on the rate to 
assign to one company found to be eligible for a separate rate, JMA, 
Petitioner's comments were specific to circumstances involving JMA, 
not the Department's overall methodology for determining the rate to 
assign to non-examined separate-rate companies. For further 
discussion with respect to the application of a separate rate to 
JMA, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 2.
    \18\ As explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum in the 
section ``Application of Facts Available and Use of Adverse 
Inference,'' the Department finds for these final results that the 
application of AFA to the two mandatory respondents in this review, 
Jangho and Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya, is not necessary in light 
of the Department's recent change in practice concerning the 
conditional review of the PRC-wide entity. Under this policy, the 
PRC-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically 
requests, or the Department self-initiates, a review of the entity. 
See Conditional Review of NME Entity Notice, 78 FR at 65970. Because 
no party requested a review of the PRC-wide entity in this review, 
the entity is not under review and the entity's rate from the most-
recently completed administrative review (i.e., 33.28 percent) is 
not subject to change. See 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 FR at 75063. 
While we no longer find it necessary to apply AFA to Jangho and 
Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya, we note that the 33.28 percent rate 
applicable to the PRC-wide entity (which includes to Jangho, Guang 
Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya, and 23 other companies subject to this 
review) was determined on the basis of AFA. See Aluminum Extrusions 
From the People's Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at 
Less Than Fair Value, 76 FR 18524, 18529 (April 4, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that Xin Wei 
Aluminum Company Limited and Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited had no 
shipments during the POR.\19\ No party commented on that determination 
and we have received no information to contradict this determination. 
Therefore, the Department continues to determine that Xin Wei Aluminum 
Company Limited and Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited had no shipments of 
subject merchandise during the POR, and will issue appropriate 
liquidation instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
that are consistent with our ``automatic assessment'' clarification, 
for these final results.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 38666. We note that we 
did not make a preliminary determination of no shipments with regard 
to Permasteelisa South China Factory because Permasteelisa South 
China Factory was not granted separate rate status in a prior 
segment of this proceeding. See, e.g., 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 
FR at 75063, footnote 30. Our determination concerning Permasteelisa 
South China Factory remains unchanged for these final results.
    \20\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65695 (October 24, 2011) 
(Assessment Practice Refinement).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRC-Wide Entity

    For purposes of these final results, the Department finds that 
Jangho and Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya are not eligible for a separate 
rate and are part of the PRC-wide entity. For a full explanation, see 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 5-6.
    In addition, the Department found in the Preliminary Results that 
21 companies subject to this review were not eligible for separate-rate 
status because they did not submit separate-rate applications or 
certifications; those companies are: Belton (Asia) Development Ltd.; 
Classic & Contemporary Inc.; Danfoss Micro Channel Heat Exchanger (Jia 
Xing) Co., Ltd.; Dongguan Golden Tiger Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; 
Ever Extend Ent. Ltd.; Fenghua Metal Product Factory; FookShing Metal & 
Plastic Co. Ltd.; Foshan Golden Source Aluminum Products Co., Ltd.; 
Global Point Technology (Far East) Limited; Gold Mountain International 
Development Limited; Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc.; 
Hebei Xusen Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd.; Jackson Travel Products Co., 
Ltd.; New Zhongya Aluminum Factory; Shanghai Automobile Air-Conditioner 
Accessories Co., Ltd.; Southwest Aluminum (Group) Co., Ltd.; Suzhou 
NewHongJi Precision Part Co., Ltd.; Union Aluminum (SIP) Co.; Whirlpool 
Canada L.P.; Whirlpool Microwave Products Development Ltd.; and Xin Wei 
Aluminum Co.\21\ The Department also found in the Preliminary Results 
that two companies subject to this review, Atlas Integrated 
Manufacturing Ltd. and Genimex Shanghai, Ltd., submitted separate-rate 
applications that did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate 
rate.\22\ As a result, the Department found in the Preliminary Results 
that these 23 companies are also part of the PRC-wide entity.\23\ For 
purposes of these final results, the Department continues to find that 
these 23 companies are not eligible for a separate rate and are part of 
the PRC-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ Id., 81 FR at 38665. We note that one company, Zhaoqing New 
Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd. (New Zhongya), was determined to have 
been succeeded by Guangdong Zhongya Aluminum Company Limited 
(Guangdong Zhongya) in a changed circumstances review. See Aluminum 
Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of 
Changed Circumstances Review, 77 FR 54900 (September 6, 2012). Thus, 
despite the fact that a review was initiated of New Zhongya, it is 
not being included among these 21 companies because its successor in 
interest, Guangdong Zhongya, is part of the Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/

    Under the Department's policy regarding conditional review of the 
PRC-wide entity, the PRC-wide entity will not be under review unless a 
party specifically requests, or the Department self-initiates, a review 
of the entity.\24\ Because no party requested a review of the PRC-wide 
entity in this review, the entity is not under review and the entity's 
rate from the previous administrative review (i.e., 33.28 percent) is 
not subject to change.\25\

Adjustments for Countervailable Subsidies

    Because no mandatory respondent established eligibility for an 
adjustment under section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable 
domestic subsidies, the Department, for these final results, did not 
make an adjustment pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act for 
countervailable domestic subsidies for the separate-rate 
recipients.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 20.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act, the Department made an 
adjustment for countervailable export subsidies for the separate-rate 
recipients. Specifically, we adjusted the assigned separate rate by 
deducting the simple average of the countervailable export subsidies 
determined for the individually examined respondents in the 2013 
countervailing duty administrative review.\27\

Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2013, 81 
FR 31227 (May 18, 2016). See also Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 
Attachment 1 for the calculation of the countervailable export 
subsidies deducted from the assigned separate rate.

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

[[Page 85519]]

    For the PRC-wide entity, since the entity is not currently under 
review, no adjustments were warranted to its rate, as it is not subject 
to change.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ See Conditional Review of NME Entity Notice, 78 FR at 
65970. As the rate for the PRC-wide entity is not subject to change 
in the instant review, the adjusted margin we are applying to the 
PRC-wide entity in the instant review, 33.18 percent, is net of the 
countervailable domestic and export subsidies determined in the 
2012-2013 Final Results. See 2012-2013 Final Results, 79 FR at 
78787; see also 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 FR at 75063, footnote

Final Results of Review

    The Department determines that the following weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the 2014-2015 POR:

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

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

    Additionally,\29\ the Department determines for these final results 
that the following companies are part of the PRC-wide entity: Jangho 
(which includes Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., 
Ltd. and Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd.); Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/
Xinya (which includes Guang Ya Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd.; Foshan 
Guangcheng Aluminium Co., Ltd.; Kong Ah International Company Limited; 
Guang Ya Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd.; Guangdong Zhongya 
Aluminium Company Limited; Zhongya Shaped Aluminium (HK) Holding 
Limited; Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd.; and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless 
Steel Product Co., Ltd.); Atlas Integrated Manufacturing Ltd.; Belton 
(Asia) Development Ltd.; Classic & Contemporary Inc.; Danfoss Micro 
Channel Heat Exchanger (Jia Xing) Co., Ltd.; Dongguan Golden Tiger 
Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; Ever Extend Ent. Ltd.; Fenghua Metal

Hebei Xusen Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd.; Jackson Travel Products Co.,

Accessories Co., Ltd.; Southwest Aluminum (Group) Co., Ltd.; Suzhou 
NewHongJi Precision Part Co., Ltd.; Union Aluminum (SIP) Co.; Whirlpool 
Canada L.P.; Whirlpool Microwave Products Development Ltd.; and Xin Wei 
Aluminum Co. The rate established for the PRC-wide entity in the 
previous administrative review is 33.28 percent.\30\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ Although the Department initiated a review for both Taishan 
City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd. and Kam Kiu Aluminium 
Products Sdn Bhd, it is apparent from the company's separate-rate 
certification that Kam Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn Bhd is the 
exporter and Taishan City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd. is a 
producer only; thus, Kam Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn Bhd is the 
appropriate party to which to grant the separate rate status.

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

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and 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 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
the final results of review in the Federal Register. Consistent with 
the Department's assessment practice in NME cases, if the Department 
determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of subject 
merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under the exporter's 
case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the 
PRC-wide rate.\31\ For the companies eligible for a separate rate, the 
Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on the 
company's entries of subject merchandise at the rates listed above in 
the section ``Final Results of Review.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \31\ See Assessment Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 from the PRC 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 companies 
eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will that listed 
above in the section ``Final Results of Review;'' (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 
published for the most-recently completed segment of this proceeding in 
which the exporter was reviewed; (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 that established for the PRC-wide 
entity, which is 33.28 percent; \32\ 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 exporter that 
supplied that non-PRC exporter with the subject merchandise.

[[Page 85520]]

These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

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 and/or countervailing 
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 and/
or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
doubled antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties Regarding Administrative Protective 
Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition 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 the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

    Dated: November 21, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
