analysis of the comments received, we made changes to the margin 
calculation for these final results of the antidumping duty

Final Results of the Administrative Review

    Regarding the administrative review, the following weighted-average 
dumping margin for the period October 1, 2014, through September 30, 
2015 is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In the first administrative review of the Order, the 
Department found that Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd. and Hong Kong 
Wells Ltd. are a single entity and, because there were no changes to 
the facts that supported that decision since that determination was 
made, we continue to find that these companies are part of a single 
entity for this administrative review. See Steel Wire Garment 
Hangers from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and 
Preliminary Rescission, in Part, of the First Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 75 FR 68758, 68761 (November 9, 2010),

    Because no party requested a review of the PRC (People's Republic 
of China)-wide entity and the Department no longer considers the PRC-
wide entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative 
reviews,\11\ we did not conduct a review of the PRC-wide entity. Thus, 
the weighted-average dumping margin for the PRC-wide

entity (i.e., 187.25 percent) \12\ is not subject to change as a result 
of this review.

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

Assessment Rates

    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 
these final results of review.
    For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average 
dumping margin is above the de minimis threshold (i.e., 0.50 percent), 
the Department will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment 
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping 
calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total entered 
value of sales. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping 
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad valorem 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, we 
calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by 
aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each 
importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered 
value of the sales to each importer (or customer).\13\ Where the 
Department calculated a weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the 
total amount of dumping for reviewed sales to that party by the total 
sales quantity associated with those transactions, the Department will 
direct CBP to assess importer-specific assessment rates based on the 
resulting per-unit rates.\14\ Where an importer- (or customer-) 
specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is greater than de minimis, the 
Department will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the 
time of liquidation.\15\ Pursuant to the Final Modification for 
Reviews,\16\ where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or 
per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, the Department will instruct CBP 
to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties.\17\

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

    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. Additionally, if 
the Department determines that an exporter 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.\18\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for 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 the exporter listed above, the 
cash deposit rate will be established in the final results of this 
review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash 
deposit will be required); (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 recent 
period; (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 the PRC-wide rate of 187.25 percent; 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. These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed regarding these 
final results within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b).

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    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 the 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/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 of the final results of this antidumping duty 
administrative review is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5).
