Certain Steel Nails From the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of the First Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On September 15, 2010, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published the Preliminary Results of the first 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel 
nails (``steel nails'') from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC'').\1\ We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on 
the Preliminary Results. Based upon our analysis of the comments and 
information received, we made changes to the margin calculations for 
the final results of this review. The final weighted-average margins 
are listed below in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section of this 
notice. The

[[Page 16380]]

period of review (``POR'') is January 23, 2008, through July 31, 2009.

Case History

    On September 15, 2010, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results of this administrative review. On October 7, 2010, we sent a 
supplemental questionnaire to separate-rate respondent Yitian Nanjing 
Hardware Co., Ltd. (``Yitian Nanjing''). On October 12, 2010, one of 
the individually-reviewed respondents who had received a calculated 
rate at the Preliminary Results, Shandong Minmetal Co., Ltd. 
(``Shandong Minmetal''), informed the Department that it would not 
participate in verification and withdrew from the administrative 
review. On October 20, 2010, we confirmed with counsel for Yitian 
Nanjing that a response to the Department's supplemental questionnaire 
was not filed by the stipulated deadline. On October 21, 2010, 
following the decision in Dorbest,\2\ the Department placed wage rate 
data on the record for comment.\3\ The Department conducted 
verification of: (1) Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd. (``Tianjin 
Jinchi'') on November 12, 2010; (2) Stanley's \4\ PRC offices and 
factory from November 15, 2010, through November 17, 2010; (3) a wire-
drawing subcontractor for Stanley from November 18, 2010, through 
November 19, 2010; and (4) Stanley's U.S. office from December 14, 
2010, through December 16, 2010. We invited interested parties to 
comment on the Preliminary Results. Between November 3, 2010, and 
January 25, 2011, we received case and rebuttal briefs from 
Petitioner,\5\ one individually-reviewed respondent, Stanley, and other 
interested parties \6\ in this administrative review.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record, verification, as well as comments 
received from parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made 
certain changes to the margin calculations. Specifically, we have 
updated the calculation for labor and several surrogate values used in 
the Preliminary Results.\10\ We also revised our labor wage rate 
methodology. See the ``Wage Rate Methodology'' section below. For all 
changes to the calculations, see the I&D Memo and company-specific 
analysis memoranda. For changes to the surrogate values, see 
``Memorandum to the File, through Alex Villanueva, Program Manager, AC/

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

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order includes certain steel nails 
having a shaft length up to 12 inches. Certain steel nails include, but 
are not limited to, nails made of round wire and nails

[[Page 16381]]

that are cut. Certain steel nails may be of one piece construction or 
constructed of two or more pieces. Certain steel nails may be produced 
from any type of steel, and have a variety of finishes, heads, shanks, 
point types, shaft lengths and shaft diameters. Finishes include, but 
are not limited to, coating in vinyl, zinc (galvanized, whether by 
electroplating or hot-dipping one or more times), phosphate cement, and 
paint. Head styles include, but are not limited to, flat, projection, 
cupped, oval, brad, headless, double, countersunk, and sinker. Shank 
styles include, but are not limited to, smooth, barbed, screw threaded, 
ring shank and fluted shank styles. Screw-threaded nails subject to 
this proceeding are driven using direct force and not by turning the 
fastener using a tool that engages with the head. Point styles include, 
but are not limited to, diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and no point. 
Finished nails may be sold in bulk, or they may be collated into strips 
or coils using materials such as plastic, paper, or wire. Certain steel 
nails subject to this proceeding are currently classified under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') subheadings 
7317.00.55, 7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75.
    Excluded from the scope of this proceeding are roofing nails of all 
lengths and diameter, whether collated or in bulk, and whether or not 
galvanized. Steel roofing nails are specifically enumerated and 
identified in ASTM Standard F 1667 (2005 revision) as Type I, Style 20 
nails. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are corrugated 
nails. A corrugated nail is made of a small strip of corrugated steel 
with sharp points on one side. Also excluded from the scope of this 
proceeding are fasteners suitable for use in powder-actuated hand 
tools, not threaded and threaded, which are currently classified under 
HTSUS 7317.00.20 and 7317.00.30. Also excluded from the scope of this 
proceeding are thumb tacks, which are currently classified under HTSUS 
7317.00.10.00. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are 
certain brads and finish nails that are equal to or less than 0.0720 
inches in shank diameter, round or rectangular in cross section, 
between 0.375 inches and 2.5 inches in length, and that are collated 
with adhesive or polyester film tape backed with a heat seal adhesive. 
Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are fasteners having a 
case hardness greater than or equal to 50 HRC, a carbon content greater 
than or equal to 0.5 percent, a round head, a secondary reduced-
diameter raised head section, a centered shank, and a smooth 
symmetrical point, suitable for use in gas-actuated hand tools.
    While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and 
customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this 
proceeding is dispositive.

Non-Market Economy Treatment

    The Department considers the PRC to be a non-market economy 
(``NME'') country.\11\ In accordance with section 771(18)(C)(i) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), any determination that a 
foreign country is an NME country shall remain in effect until revoked 
by the administering authority. No party has challenged the designation 
of the PRC as an NME country in this review. Therefore, the Department 
continues to treat the PRC as an NME country for purposes of these 
final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See, e.g., Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than 
Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: Coated Free 
Sheet Paper From the People's Republic of China, 72 FR 30758, 30760 
(June 4, 2007), unchanged in Final Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value: Coated Free Sheet Paper From the People's Republic 
of China, 72 FR 60632 (October 25, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surrogate Country

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department stated that it selected 
India as the appropriate surrogate country to use in this 
administrative review for the following reasons: (1) It is a 
significant producer of comparable merchandise; (2) it is at a similar 
level of economic development pursuant to section 773(c)(4) of the Act; 
and (3) the Department has reliable data from India that it can use to 
value the factors of production. As no party submitted additional 
comments challenging our selection of the primary surrogate country, we 
are continuing to use India as the surrogate country for the final 
results of this administrative review.

Wage Rate Methodology

    Pursuant to Dorbest, we have calculated a revised hourly wage rate 
to use in valuing Stanley's reported labor. The revised wage rate is 
calculated by averaging earnings and/or wages in countries that are 
economically comparable to the PRC and that are significant producers 
of comparable merchandise, pursuant to section 773 of the Act. See I&D 
Memo at Comment 2.

Separate Rates

    In proceedings involving NME countries, the Department holds a 
rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are 
subject to government control and, thus, should be assessed a single 
antidumping duty rate. It is the Department's policy to assign all 
exporters of subject merchandise in an NME country this single rate 
unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent 
so as to be entitled to a separate rate.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than 
Fair Value: Sparklers From the People's Republic of China, 56 FR 
20588 (May 6, 1991), as further developed in Notice of Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide From 
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the Preliminary Results, we determined that in addition to the 
mandatory respondents, Stanley and Shandong Minmetal, the Separate-Rate 
Applicants also met the criteria for separate rate status.\13\ Since 
the publication of the Preliminary Results, Shandong Minmetal withdrew 
from the review. Therefore, the Department has, as adverse facts 
available (``AFA''), treated Shandong Minmetal as part of the PRC-wide 
entity.\14\ Moreover, we note that the information that Shangdong 
Minmetal provided to the Department to demonstrate the absence of de 
facto and de jure control could not be verified due to its failure to 
cooperate. Consequently we have not granted Shandong Minmetal a 
separate rate.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Those companies are: (1) Aironware (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.; 
(2) Chiieh Yung Metal Ind. Corp.; (3) China Staple Enterprise 
(Tianjin) Co., Ltd.; (4) Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; 
(5) Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd.; (6) Hengshui Mingyao 
Hardware & Mesh Products Co., Ltd.; (7) Huanghua Jinhai Hardware 
Products Co., Ltd.; (8) Huanghua Xionghua Hardware Products Co., 
Ltd.; (9) Jisco Corporation (``Jisco''); (10) Koram Panagene Co., 
Ltd. (``Koram Panagene''); (11) Nanjing Yuechang Hardware Co., Ltd.; 
(12) Qidong Liang Chyuan Metal Industry Co., Ltd.; (13) Qingdao D & 
L Group Ltd.; (14) Romp (Tianjin) Hardware Co., Ltd.; (15) Shandong 
Dinglong Import & Export Co., Ltd.; (16) Shanghai Jade Shuttle 
Hardware Tools Co., Ltd.; (17) Shouguang Meiqing Nail Industry Co., 
Ltd.; (18) Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd.; (19) Tianjin 
Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co., Ltd.; (20) Tianjin 
Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd.; (21) Wintime Import & Export 
Corporation Limited of Zhongshan; and (22) Zhejiang Gem-Chun 
Hardware Accessory Co., Ltd. (collectively, ``Separate-Rate 
Applicants'').
    \14\ See section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
    \15\ See I&D Memo at Comment 13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The separate rate is determined based on the estimated weighted-
average antidumping margins established for exporters and producers 
individually investigated, excluding zero and de minimis margins or 
margins based entirely on AFA.\16\ In this administrative review, one 
mandatory respondent, Stanley, has an estimated weighted-average 
antidumping margin which is above de minimis and which is not based on 
total AFA. Therefore, because there is only one relevant weighted-
average antidumping margin for these final results, we have assigned

[[Page 16382]]

Stanley's margin, which is 13.90 percent, to the separate-rate 
companies.\17\

Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value, 73 FR 47587, 47591 (August 14, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRC-Wide Entity

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that certain 
PRC exporters subject to this review failed to recertify their separate 
rates using the separate rate certification provided at the 
Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html to 
demonstrate their continued eligibility for separate-rate status. Thus, 
the Department treated these PRC exporters as part of the PRC-wide 
entity. The Department also found that the PRC-wide entity did not 
respond to our requests for information.\18\ As the PRC-wide entity did 
not provide the Department with requested information, pursuant to 
section 776(a)(2)(A) of the Act, we continue to treat such entities as 
part of the PRC-wide entity.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine, 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of review, excluding any reported 
sales that entered during the gap period.\19\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate importer-specific (or customer-
specific) ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the 
total amount of the dumping margins calculated for the examined sales 
to the total entered value of those same sales. In accordance with 19 
CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate, without regard to 
antidumping duties, all entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis. 
For the companies receiving a separate rate that were not selected for 
individual review, we will calculate an assessment rate based on the 
simple average of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies 
selected for individual review pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the 
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ The gap period represents the period of time after the 
expiration of the 180-day provisional measures period during the 
original investigation, to the day prior to the U.S. International 
Trade Commission's final determination. In the instant case, the gap 
period is July 22, 2008, to July 24, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of these final results of administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be established in the final 
results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, 
i.e., less than 0.5 percent, no cash deposit will be required for that 
company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC 
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the 
most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise 
which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 percent; and (4) for 
all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received 
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to 
the PRC exporters that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

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 duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``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/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.
    We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 14, 2011.
Kim Glas,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
