SUMMARY: On August 7, 2017, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review of certain steel nails (nails) from the Republic of Korea (Korea). The period of review (POR) is December 29, 2014, through June 30, 2016. As a result of our analysis of the comments and information received, these final results differ from the Preliminary Results with respect to Daejin Steel Co., (Daejin), but remain unchanged with respect to Korea Wire Co., Ltd. (Kowire). For the final weighted-average dumping margins, see the ``Final Results of Review'' section below. DATES: Applicable January 29, 2018.

A list of the issues that parties raised and to which we responded is attached to this notice as an Appendix. The IDM 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 in the Central Records Unit (CRU), room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the IDM can be accessed directly on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed IDM and the electronic versions of the IDM are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have recalculated Daejin's weighted-average dumping margin.\13\ The dumping margin for Kowire remains 0.00 percent, as it was in the Preliminary Results.\14\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \13\ See IDM; see also Memorandum, ``Analysis Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Steel Nails from the Republic of Korea: Daejin Steel Company,'' dated concurrently with this notice. \14\ Although in the Preliminary Results, we calculated a dumping margin of 0.00 percent for Kowire, we inadvertently listed a dumping margin of 0.16 percent for the company in the Federal Register notice. This error is corrected for purposes of these final results. For further details, see the ``Final Results of the Review'' section of this notice; see also IDM at Comment 9; Memorandum, ``Certain Nails from the Republic of Korea: Calculation Memorandum for the Final Results of the 2014-2016 Administrative Review--Korea Wire Co., Ltd.,'' dated concurrently with this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Results of the Review As a result of this administrative review, Commerce calculated a weighted-average dumping margin that is above de minimis for Daejin and a dumping margin of 0.00 percent for Kowire for the period December 29, 2014, through June 30, 2016, as referenced below. Additionally, Je-il Wire Production Co., Ltd. (Je-il) remains subject to this review because neither it nor the petitioner withdrew a request for its review; however, it was not selected as a mandatory respondent in this review.\15\ In accordance with our practice,\16\ and consistent with the Preliminary Results, we have assigned to Je-il Daejin's calculated rate, i.e., the only rate calculated for a mandatory respondent that is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \15\ See Preliminary Results. \16\ See, e.g., Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2015- 2016, 82 FR 49179 (October 24, 2017). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- average Producer and/or exporter dumping margin (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daejin Steel Co., Ltd...................................... 2.76 Korea Wire Co., Ltd........................................ 0.00 Je-il Wire Production Co., Ltd............................. 2.76 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Duty Assessment Commerce shall determine and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\17\ For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative review, if any importer-specific assessment rates calculated in the final results are above de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), Commerce will issue instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \17\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each respondent for which it 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. We intend to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of subject merchandise 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) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for respondents noted above will be the rate established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but 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; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 11.80 percent, the all- others rate established in the antidumping investigation.\18\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \18\ See Certain Steel Nails from the Republic of Korea: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 80 FR 28955 (May 20, 2015). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. [[Page 4030]] Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: January 19, 2018.
