SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on large 
residential washers from Mexico. The period of review (POR) is February 
1, 2016, through January 31, 2017. The review covers one producer/
exporter of the subject merchandise, Electrolux Home Products Corp. 
N.V. and Electrolux Home Products de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. 
(collectively, Electrolux). We preliminarily determine that sales of 
subject merchandise by Electrolux have been made at prices below normal 
value (NV). We invite interested parties to comment on these 
preliminary results.

DATES: Applicable: November 8, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ross Belliveau or Rebecca Janz, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4952 or (202) 482-2972, 
respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order are all large residential washers 
and certain subassemblies thereof from Mexico. The products are 
currently classifiable under subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 8450.20.0080 
of the Harmonized Tariff System of the United States (HTSUS). Products 
subject to this order may also enter under HTSUS subheadings 
8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080, 8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000. Although 
the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to this 
scope is dispositive.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For a full description of the scope of the order, see 
Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the 
2016-2017 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on 
Large Residential Washers from Mexico,'' dated concurrently with, 
and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act). Pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, the 
Department has preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available with 
adverse inferences (AFA) for Electrolux because this respondent did not 
timely respond to the Department's antidumping duty questionnaire. For 
a complete explanation of the methodology and analysis underlying the 
preliminary application of AFA, 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 https://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 Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be found at

[[Page 51811]]

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 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.

Preliminary Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, the Department preliminarily determines 
that a dumping margin of 72.41 percent exists for Electrolux for the 
period February 1, 2016, through January 31, 2017.

Disclosure

    Normally, the Department discloses to interested parties the 
calculations performed in connection with the preliminary results 
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of 
preliminary results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b). However, there are no calculations to disclose because, in 
accordance with section 776 of the Act, the Department preliminarily 
applied AFA to Electrolux, the only company that is subject to this 
review, and the applied AFA rate is based solely on a dumping margin 
applied in a prior segment of this proceeding.

Public Comment

    Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than 30 
days after the date of publication of the preliminary results, unless

duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\5\ The final 
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of 
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final 
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, 
where applicable.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
    \6\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.

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 Electrolux will 
be the rate established in the final results of this review; (2) for 
previously reviewed or investigated companies not participating in this 
review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific 
rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a 
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the 
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 36.52 percent, the 
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\7\ These 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 
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: October 31, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
