Certain Steel Threaded Rod From the People's Republic of China;
2012-2013; Partial Rescission of the Fourth Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 3, 2013, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published a notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod from
the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') based on multiple timely
requests for an administrative review, and on August 28, 2013, the
Department issued a correction to the notice of initiation. The review
covers 80 companies. Based on a withdrawal of the requests for review
of certain companies from Vulcan Threaded Products, Inc.
(``Petitioner''), we are now rescinding this administrative review with
respect to seven companies.
DATES: Effective Date: September 13, 2013.

or (202) 482-4047, respectively.
Background
In April 2013, the Department received multiple timely requests to
conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain steel threaded rod from the PRC (``the
[[Page 56656]]
Order''). Based upon these requests, on June 3, 2013, the Department
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the
Order covering the period April 1, 2012, to March 31, 2013.\1\ The
Department incorrectly included three companies in the Initiation
Notice, which was corrected in the August Initiation Notice, where the
Department removed these three companies and instead initiated on two
other companies.\2\ The Department has initiated an administrative
review with respect to 80 companies. On July 5, 2013, Petitioner
withdrew its request for an administrative review on Certified Products
International Inc. (``CPI''); Gem-Year Industrial Co., Ltd. (``Gem
Year''); Haiyan Julong Standard Part Co., Ltd. (``Haiyan Julong'');
Jiashan Zhongsheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. (``Jiashan Zhongsheng'');
Jiaxing Xinyue Standard Part Co., Ltd. (``Jiaxing Xinyue''); Suntec
Industries Co., Ltd. (``Suntec Industries''); and Shanghai Prime
Machinery Co., Ltd. (``Shanghai Prime'').\3\ Petitioner was the only
party to request a review of these companies.

Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR
33052, 33056-8 (June 3, 2013) (``Initiation Notice'').
\2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR
53128, 53130 (August 28, 2013) (``August Initiation Notice'') at
footnote 6. Moreover, in August Initiation Notice at footnote 5, the
Department intended to state that ``{i{time} f one of the companies
for which a review was requested does not qualify for a separate
rate, all other exporters of Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the PRC
who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered
by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named
exporters are a part.''
\3\ We note that there are additional companies for which all
review requests were withdrawn within the 90 day period. See Letter
to the Department from Petitioner, Re: Certain Steel Threaded Rod
from the People's Republic of China: Petitioners' Withdrawal of
Review Requests for Certain Companies, (July 5, 2013). These
additional companies for which all review requests were withdrawn do
not have a separate rate from a prior segment of this proceeding. We
intend to address the disposition of these companies in the
preliminary results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.
Petitioner's requests for review of CPI, Gem Year, Haiyan Julong,
Jiashan Zhongsheng, Jiaxing Xinyue, Suntec Industries, and Shanghai
Prime were withdrawn within the 90-day period. Because Petitioner's
requests for review were timely withdrawn and because no other party
requested a review of CPI, Gem Year, Haiyan Julong, Jiashan Zhongsheng,
Jiaxing Xinyue, Suntec Industries, and Shanghai Prime, and each have
separate rates from a prior segment of the proceeding, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are partially rescinding this review with
respect to these companies.
Assessment Rates
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\4\
Because CPI, Gem Year, Haiyan Julong, Jiashan Zhongsheng, Jiaxing
Xinyue, Suntec Industries, and Shanghai Prime have a separate rate from
a prior segment of this proceeding, 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)(2). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after publication of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice,
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 the antidumping duties occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
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, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: September 6, 2013.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
