China and Taiwan: Final Results of the Expedited Fourth Five-Year 
Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of these reviews, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on 
certain helical spring lock washers (lock washers) from the People's 
Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan would likely lead to a continuation 
or recurrence of dumping at the margins identified in the ``Final 
Results of Review'' section of this notice.

DATES: Effective March 7, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Shuler, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-1293.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 1, 2016, the Department published the notice of 
initiation of the fourth sunset review of the antidumping duty orders 
on lock washers from Taiwan and the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\1\ On November 4, 2016, 
the Department received a notice of intent to participate in both of 
these reviews from Shakeproof Assembly Components Division of Illinois 
Tool Works Inc. (the petitioner), within the deadline specified in 19 
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The petitioner claimed interested party status 
for both of these reviews under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a 
producer of the domestic like product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 81 FR 75808 
(November 1, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 1, 2016, the Department received a complete substantive 
response from the petitioner for both reviews, within the deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive 
responses from any respondent interested parties. As a result, pursuant 
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), 
the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of these antidumping 
duty orders.

Scope of the Orders

    The products covered by the orders are lock washers of carbon 
steel, of carbon alloy steel, or of stainless steel, heat-treated or 
non-heat-treated, plated or non-plated, with ends that are off-line. 
Lock washers subject to the orders are currently classifiable under 
subheadings 7318.21.0000, 7318.21.0030, and 7318.21.0090 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the 
HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A full description of the scope of the order is contained in 
the Memorandum from Senior Director, Office I, James Maeder to 
Acting Assistant Secretary Ronald K. Lorentzen, ``Issues and 
Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Expedited Sunset 
Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Certain Helical Spring 
Lock Washers From the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan,'' 
dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice (Issues 
and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in these reviews, including the likelihood of 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margins 
likely to prevail if the orders were revoked, are addressed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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 
http://access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the Central Records 
Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In 
addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be accessed 
directly on the Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn.

Final Results of Sunset Reviews

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1), (2), and (3) of the 
Act, we determine that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on 
lock washers from the PRC and Taiwan would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping up to the weighted-average margin 
percentages:
