subheadings 7907.00.60.00, 8206.00.00.00 or other HTSUS subheadings.
The full description of the scope of the order is contained in the
memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Steel Nails from
Taiwan; 2015-2016'' (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. The written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.

Methodology

For Unicatch, the Department has conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). Normal value (NV) is calculated in accordance with section
773(e) of the Act. Constructed export price or export price is
calculated in accordance with section 773(a) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, 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). ACCESS is available to
registered users at http://access.trade.gov and is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, room B-8024 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 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.

Application of Facts Available and Adverse Facts Available

We preliminarily determine that PT and Bonuts failed to cooperate
to the best of their ability in participating in the review, warranting
the application of facts otherwise available with adverse inferences,
pursuant to section 776(a)-(b) of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology and rationale underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies

The statute and the Department's regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for
examination when the Department limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
Generally, the Department looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market
economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for individual review in an
administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-
others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted average dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero
or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .'' In this review, we calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin for Unicatch that is not zero, de
minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
Accordingly, the Department assigned Hor Liang Industrial Corp., and
Romp Coil Nails Industries Inc. a margin of 34.20 percent, which is
Unicatch's calculated weighted-average dumping margin.

Partial Rescission of Review

On December 12, 2016, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (Mid
Continent), a domestic producer and interested party, timely withdrew
its review requests for

[[Page 36745]]

certain companies.\2\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department
will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the
party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested
review. For a full description of the methodology and rationale
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

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

Unless otherwise extended, the Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative review, including the results of
its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than
120 days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final
results of this review.
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).\10\ 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- (or customer-) specific assessment rates
based on the resulting per-unit rates.\11\ Where an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is greater than de
minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the Department will instruct CBP to
collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation.\12\ 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.\13\

\11\ Id.
\12\ Id.
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will assign an assessment rate based on the methodology described in
the ``Rates for Non-Examined Companies'' section, above.
Consistent with the Department's assessment practice, for entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Bonuts, PT, Unicatch,
or the non-examined companies, for which the producer did not know that
its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is
no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\14\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the firms covered by this review, we intend to issue
liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final
results of this review. For the non-reviewed firms for which we are
rescinding this administrative review, the Department intends to
instruct CBP 15 days after publication of these preliminary results of
review to assess antidumping duties at rates equal to the rates of cash
deposits for estimated antidumping duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, during the period
May 20,

[[Page 36746]]

2015, through June 30, 2016, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Bonuts, PT, and
Unicatch will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which
case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for other manufacturers
and exporters covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which
that manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 2.24 percent, the all-others rate in
the LTFV investigation.\15\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 80 FR 28959 (May 20, 2015).

Notifications

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

Dated: July 31, 2017.
