The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) is May 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016. These preliminary results cover 191 companies and the PRC-wide entity for which an administrative review was initiated. The PRC-wide entity did not respond to the Department's initial quantity and value questionnaires (Q&Vs), and therefore the Department is preliminarily applying adverse facts available (AFA) to the PRC-wide entity. The Department selected the following companies as mandatory respondents: Kam Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn. Bhd. (Kam Kiu) and tenKsolar (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (tenKsolar). The Department preliminarily determines that Kam Kiu did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate and is, therefore, part of the PRC-wide entity. The Department further preliminarily determines that because we lack sufficient record information to allow the Department to calculate a margin for tenKsolar's reported sales of subject merchandise into the United States during the POR, the rate applied to tenKsolar's merchandise upon entry continues to be the AD rate applied to tenKsolar, except to adjust for countervailable duty (CVD) subsidies determined under the parallel aluminum extrusions CVD order. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

Aluminum Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Rescission of Review in Part; 2015-2016

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 (AD) order on aluminum 
extrusions from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of 
review (POR) is May 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016. These preliminary 
results cover 191 companies and the PRC-wide entity for which an 
administrative review was initiated. The PRC-wide entity did not 
respond to the Department's initial quantity and value questionnaires 
(Q&Vs), and therefore the Department is preliminarily applying adverse 
facts available (AFA) to the PRC-wide entity. The Department selected 
the following companies as mandatory respondents: Kam Kiu Aluminium 
Products Sdn. Bhd. (Kam Kiu) and tenKsolar (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. 
(tenKsolar). The Department preliminarily determines that Kam Kiu did 
not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate and is, therefore, part 
of the PRC-wide entity. The Department further preliminarily determines 
that because we lack sufficient record information to allow the 
Department to calculate a margin for tenKsolar's reported sales of 
subject merchandise into the United States during the POR, the rate 
applied to tenKsolar's merchandise upon entry continues to be the AD 
rate applied to tenKsolar, except to adjust for countervailable duty 
(CVD) subsidies determined under the parallel aluminum extrusions CVD 
order. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of 
this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Interested 
parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES: Effective June 6, 2017.

Extension of Deadlines for Preliminary Results

    On January 3, 2017, the Department extended the period of time for 
issuing the preliminary results of this review until May 11, 2017.\5\ 
On May 5, 2017, the Department again extended the period of time for 
issuing the preliminary results of this review until May 31, 2017.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Rescission of Administrative Review in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), based on the timely withdrawal of 
the requests for review, we are partially rescinding this 
administrative review with respect to 181 of the 191 companies named in 
the Initiation Notice.\7\ See Appendix II for a list of these 
companies.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Initiation Notice, 81 FR at 44262-44265.
    \8\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum for further details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology 
underlying our preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

Preliminary Determination Regarding tenKsolar's Reported Sales

    Based on information submitted by tenKsolar, we preliminarily find 
that we lack sufficient record information to allow the Department to 
calculate a margin for tenKsolar's reported sales of subject 
merchandise during the POR.\9\ Accordingly, we preliminarily determine 
that the rate which should be applied to tenKsolar is the AD rate 
applied to its merchandise upon entry. Consistent with our practice in 
non-market economy (NME) cases, the Department is not rescinding this 
review with respect to tenKsolar, but intends to complete the review of 
tenKsolar and issue appropriate

instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review.\10\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65695 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    In the Initiation Notice, we informed parties of the opportunity to 
request a separate rate.\11\ In proceedings involving NME countries, 
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies 
within the NME country are subject to government control and, thus, 
should be assigned a single weighted-average dumping margin. It is the 
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to 
an administrative review involving an NME country this single rate 
unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent 
so as to be entitled to a separate rate. Companies that wanted to be 
considered for a separate rate in this review were required to timely 
file a separate rate application (SRA) or a separate rate certification 
(SRC) to demonstrate their eligibility for a separate rate. SRAs and 
SRCs were due to the Department within 30 calendar days of the 
publication of the Initiation Notice.\12\

    Mandatory respondent Kam Kiu submitted a SRC,\13\ but did not 
respond to any section of the Department's antidumping questionnaire; 
instead, Kam Kiu withdrew from active participation as a mandatory 
respondent.\14\ Accordingly, the Department cannot analyze or verify 
the veracity of Kam Kiu's claims of being separate from the PRC-wide 
entity for purposes of its export activities. As a result, we 
preliminarily determine that Kam Kiu did not demonstrate its 
eligibility for a separate rate in this review.\15\ Mandatory 
respondent tenKsolar submitted a SRC,\16\ as well as timely responses 
to each section of the Department's antidumping questionnaire to which 
it was required to submit a response.\17\ Based on the information on 
the record, we preliminarily determine that tenKsolar demonstrated its 
eligibility for a separate rate in this review.

People's Republic of China: Withdrawal as a Mandatory Respondent, 
dated February 14, 2017.
    \15\ See Initiation Notice, 81 FR at 44262 (``For exporters and 
producers who submit a separate-rate status application or 
certification and subsequently are selected as mandatory 
respondents, these exporters and producers will no longer be 
eligible for separate rate status unless they respond to all parts 
of the questionnaire as mandatory respondents.'').

from the People's Republic of China: Section C and D Questionnaire 
Response, dated March 9, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department did not receive a SRA or SRC from any of the other 
entities remaining under review. As a result, we preliminarily 
determine that the following entities are not eligible for a separate 
rate in this administrative review: (1) Atlas Integrated Manufacturing 
Ltd.; (2) Classic & Contemporary Inc.; (3) Dongguan Golden Tiger 
Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; (4) Jiaxing Jackson Travel Products Co., 
Ltd.; (5) Taishan City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd.; (6) 
Shenyang Yuanda Aluminium Industry Engineering Co. Ltd.; (7) Sincere 
Profit Limited; and (8) Suzhou New Hongji Precision Part Co.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application of Adverse Facts Available

    The Department preliminarily determines that the use of facts 
otherwise available is warranted with respect to the PRC-wide entity, 
in accordance with sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of the Act. The 
Department issued a Q&V questionnaire to the PRC-wide entity on 
December 2, 2016; \19\ however, the PRC-wide entity did not respond to 
the Department's Q&V questionnaire. As a result, we preliminarily find 
that the PRC-wide entity withheld necessary information that was 
requested by the Department, significantly impeding the proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Department Letter to Liu Fang, First Secretary, Embassy 
of the People's Republic of China, dated December 2, 2016. See also 
Memorandum, ``Antidumping Duty Order on Aluminum Extrusions from the 
People's Republic of China: Issuance of Quantity and Value 
Questionnaire to the PRC-wide Entity,'' dated December 8, 2016 
(containing Federal Express shipment and delivery confirmation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, the Department 
preliminarily determines that, because the PRC-wide entity failed to 
cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with the 
Department's requests for information, an adverse inference is 
warranted.

PRC-Wide Entity

    We preliminarily find that the following entities are part of the 
PRC-wide entity in this administrative review because they failed to 
submit a Q&V response, a SRA, a SRC, or (in the case of Kam Kiu) were 
selected as a mandatory respondent and failed to respond to the AD 
questionnaire: (1) Kam Kiu; (2) Atlas Integrated Manufacturing Ltd.; 
(3) Classic & Contemporary Inc.; (4) Dongguan Golden Tiger Hardware 
Industrial Co., Ltd.; (5) Jiaxing Jackson Travel Products Co., Ltd.; 
(6) Taishan City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd.; (7) Shenyang 
Yuanda Aluminium Industry Engineering Co. Ltd.; (8) Sincere Profit 
Limited; and (9) Suzhou New Hongji Precision Part Co.
    The Department's change in policy regarding conditional review of 
the PRC-wide entity applies to this administrative review.\20\ 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. The petitioner \21\ requested a review of the PRC-wide 
entity in the instant review; therefore, the PRC-wide entity is 
currently under review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 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 Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65970 (November 4, 
2013).
    \21\ The petitioner is the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade 
Committee, composed of the following members: Aerolite Extrusion 
Company; Alexandria Extrusion Company; William L. Bonnell Company, 
Inc.; Frontier Aluminum Corporation; Futura Industries Corporation; 
Hydro Aluminum North America, Inc.; Kaiser Aluminum Corporation; 
Profile Extrusion Company; Sapa Extrusions, Inc.; and Western 
Extrusions Corporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adjustments for Countervailable Subsidies

    Because no mandatory respondent established eligibility for an 
adjustment under section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable 
domestic subsidies, for these preliminary results, the Department did 
not make an adjustment pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act for 
countervailable domestic subsidies for the separate-rate recipients.
    Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act, we made an adjustment 
for countervailable export subsidies for tenKsolar. We calculated this 
adjustment as the simple average of the countervailable export 
subsidies determined for the mandatory respondents in the 2014 (i.e., 
most recently completed) CVD administrative review \22\ and deducted 
this amount from the weighted-average dumping margin assigned to 
tenKsolar. \23\ The

[[Page 26058]]

adjusted rate for tenKsolar is 85.96 percent.

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

    Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act, we also made an 
adjustment for countervailable export subsidies for the PRC-wide 
entity. We adjusted the PRC-wide entity cash deposit rate by the lowest 
countervailable export subsidy determined for the mandatory respondents 
in the 2014 (i.e., most recently completed) CVD administrative 
review.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department preliminarily determines that the following 
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the 2015-2016 POR:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Margin

                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
tenKsolar (Shanghai) Co., Ltd..................       86.01        85.96
PRC-wide Entity................................       86.01        85.96
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, as explained above, the Department preliminarily 
determines that the following companies are part of the PRC-wide 
entity: (1) Kam Kiu; (2) Atlas Integrated Manufacturing Ltd.; (3) 
Classic & Contemporary Inc.; (4) Dongguan Golden Tiger Hardware 
Industrial Co., Ltd.; (5) Jiaxing Jackson Travel Products Co., Ltd.; 
(6) Taishan City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd.; (7) Shenyang 
Yuanda Aluminium Industry Engineering Co. Ltd.; (8) Sincere Profit 
Limited; and (9) Suzhou New Hongji Precision Part Co.

Disclosure and Public Comment

    Normally, the Department discloses to interested parties the 
calculations performed in connection with its preliminary results 
within five days of its public announcement or, if there is no public 
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because the

    Unless otherwise extended, the Department intends to issue the 
final results of this administrative review, which will include the 
results of our analysis of all issues raised in the case briefs, within 
120 days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal 
Register, 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.\32\ The Department intends 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject 
merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity at the PRC-wide rate. 
Additionally, 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 will be 
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\33\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of 
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). We will instruct CBP accordingly.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties, when imposed, will apply to all shipments of subject 
merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication of the final results of this 
administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: 
(1) If the companies preliminarily determined to be eligible for a 
separate rate receive a separate rate in the final results of this 
administrative review, their cash deposit rate will be equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of 
this review, as adjusted for domestic and export subsidies (except, if 
that rate is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) 
for any previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 
that are not under review in this segment of the proceeding but that 
received a separate rate in the most recently completed 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; (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 the PRC-wide entity, the 
cash deposit rate will be 85.96 percent; \34\ and (5) 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \34\ This rate is adjusted for export subsidies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of

[[Page 26059]]

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 to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing notice of these preliminary results 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
