Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China: Amended
Final Results of the Fourth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is amending the
final results \1\ of the fourth administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain steel nails (``nails'') from the
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') to correct a certain ministerial
error. The period of review is August 1, 2011, through July 31, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China:
Final Results of the Fourth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,
79 FR 19316 (April 8, 2014) (``Final Results'') and accompanying
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATES: Effective Date: May 13, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Renkey or Javier Barrientos,
AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone 202-482-2312
or 202-482-2243, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 3, 2014, the Department disclosed to interested parties
its calculations for the Final Results. On April 8, 2014, we received
ministerial error comments from Certified Products International Inc.
(``CPI'').
Ministerial Errors
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), and
19 CFR 351.224(f) define a ``ministerial error'' as an error ``in
addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any
similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers
ministerial.'' CPI states that it submitted a letter stating that it
had no shipments during the period of review.\2\ CPI also notes that
the Department considered it as a no-shipments company both in the
Preliminary Results \3\ and in the Final Results,\4\ so its inclusion
among the list of those companies being considered as part of the PRC-
wide entity in the Appendix to the Issues and Decision Memorandum must
be a clerical error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See CPI's November 11, 2012, No Shipments Letter.
\3\ See Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of the Fourth Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 78 FR 56861 (September 16, 2013) and accompanying Decision
Memorandum at 3-4.
\4\ See Final Results, 78 FR at 19317.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After analyzing CPI's ministerial error comments, we determined, in
accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that
we made a ministerial error in listing it among the companies we found
to be part of the PRC-wide entity in the Appendix to the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. Additionally, after reviewing the list of
companies in the Appendix to the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we
noted that we inadvertently included other no-shipment companies on the
list. The following no-shipment companies are those that we
inadvertently included in the list of companies we found to be part of
the PRC-wide entity: (1) Besco Machinery Industry (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.;
(2) Certified Products International Inc.; (3) Jining Huarong Hardware
Products Co., Ltd.; (4) PT Enterprise Inc.; (5) Shanghai Jade Shuttle
Hardware Tools Co., Ltd.; (6) Shanghai Tengyu Hardware Tools Co., Ltd.;
and (7) Shanxi Yuci Broad Wire Products Co., Ltd.
Amended Final Results of the Administrative Review
In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
we are amending the Final Results of the fourth administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on nails from the PRC, specifically the
appendix which appears at the end of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, to clarify that the seven companies listed above are no-
shipment companies and should not be considered as part of the PRC-wide
entity. We note this does not change the dumping margin for any of
these companies, and thus their assessment rates and cash deposit rates
remain the same as in the Final Results.
We are publishing these amended final results in accordance with
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: May 5, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
