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 Oman Fasteners's weighted-average dumping margin.\6\ The 
AFA dumping margin for

[[Page 4031]]

the collapsed entity (i.e., OISI and ODS) remains unchanged from the 
Preliminary Results.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See IDM; see also Memorandum,''Certain Nails from Oman: 
Calculation Memorandum for the Final Results of the 2014-2016 
Administrative Review--Oman Fasteners,'' dated concurrently with 
this notice.
    \7\ ODS was initially a non-selected respondent subject to this 
administrative review; however, because we have, as adverse facts 
available (AFA), collapsed ODS with mandatory respondent OISI, we 
are assigning both the same AFA margin. See Preliminary Results, 82 
FR at 36740.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, Commerce calculated a weighted-average 
dumping margin that is above de minimis for Oman Fasteners and a margin 
based on AFA for the collapsed entity (i.e., OISI and ODS) for the 
period December 29, 2014, through June 30, 2016, as referenced below.

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

Duty Assessment

    Commerce shall determine and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\8\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (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 9.10 percent, the all-
others rate established in the antidumping investigation. These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

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.

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.

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