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

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On July 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') initiated the first five-year (``sunset'') review of 
the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act'').\1\ As a result of this sunset 
review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty 
order on certain steel nails from the PRC would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the 
``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

(July 1, 2013).

DATES: Effective Date: November 20, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 31, 2013, the Department received an adequate substantive 
response from domestic interested party Mid Continent Nail Corporation 
(``Petitioner'') within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i).\2\ We received no responses from respondent 
interested parties. As a result, the Department conducted an expedited 
(120-day) sunset review of the order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As explained in the 
memorandum from the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, 
the Department has exercised its discretion to toll deadlines for the 
duration of the closure of the Federal Government from October 1, 
through October 16, 2013.\3\ Therefore, all deadlines in this segment 
of the proceeding have been extended by 16 days. If the new deadline 
falls on a non-business day, in accordance with the Department's 
practice, the deadline will become the next business day.\4\ The 
revised deadline for the final results of this sunset review is now 
November 14, 2013.

Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to

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 subject to 
the order are currently classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States (``HTSUS'') subheadings 7317.00.55, 7317.00.65 and 
7317.00.75. While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 
and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order 
is dispositive.

the People's Republic of China: Issues and Decision Memorandum for the

Order,'' from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
