SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department has conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act'').

Scope of the Order

    The scope of the order consists of shelving and racks for 
refrigerators, freezers, combined refrigerator-freezers, other 
refrigerating or freezing equipment, cooking stoves, ranges, and ovens 
(``certain kitchen appliance shelving and racks'' or ``the merchandise 
under order''). Certain kitchen appliance shelving and racks are 
defined as shelving, baskets, racks (with or without extension slides, 
which are carbon or stainless steel hardware devices that are connected 
to shelving, baskets, or racks to enable sliding), side racks (which 
are welded wire support structures for oven racks that attach to the 
interior walls of an oven cavity that does not include support ribs as 
a design feature), and subframes (which are welded wire support 
structures that interface with formed support ribs inside an oven 
cavity to support oven rack assemblies utilizing extension slides) with 
the following dimensions:

--shelving and racks with dimensions ranging from 3 inches by 5 inches 
by 0.10 inch to 28 inches by 34 inches by 6 inches; or
--baskets with dimensions ranging from 2 inches by 4 inches by 3 inches 
to 28 inches by 34 inches by 16 inches; or
--side racks from 6 inches by 8 inches by 0.1 inch to 16 inches by 30 
inches by 4 inches; or
--subframes from 6 inches by 10 inches by 0.1 inch to 28 inches by 34 
inches by 6 inches.
    The merchandise under the order is comprised of carbon or stainless 
steel wire ranging in thickness from 0.050 inch to 0.500 inch and may 
include sheet metal of either carbon or stainless steel ranging in 
thickness from 0.020 inch to 0.2 inch. The merchandise under this order 
may be coated or uncoated and may be formed and/or welded. Excluded 
from the scope of this order is shelving in which the support surface 
is glass.
    The merchandise subject to the order is currently classifiable in 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') 
statistical reporting numbers 8418.99.8050, 8418.99.8060, 7321.90.5000, 
7321.90.6090, 8516.90.8000, 7321.90.6040, 8516.90.8010 and 
8419.90.9520. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope 
of the order is dispositive.

PRC-Wide Entity

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the initiation notice of the requested review. As noted 
in the Preliminary Results, Petitioners timely requested an 
administrative review for Jiangsu Weixi Group, Co. (``Weixi''), a 
company that previously has not received a separate rate in earlier 
segments of this proceeding. Petitioners were the only parties to 
request an administrative review of Weixi, and timely withdrew their 
request for review of Weixi.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Preliminary Results, 78 FR at 54450.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the Preliminary Results, because the PRC-wide entity remained 
potentially under review for the final results of this administrative 
review, the Department did not rescind this review for Weixi, because 
it was part of the PRC-wide entity. The PRC-wide entity did not come 
under review for these final results. Therefore, for the final results 
the Department is rescinding this review with respect to Weixi, who 
remains part of the PRC-wide entity.

Final Results of the Review

    The Department has made no changes to the Preliminary Results. As a 
result of our review, we determine that the following dumping margin 
exists for the period September 1, 2011, through August 31, 2012:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                        Exporter                         average dumping
                                                            margin  (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
New King Shan (Zhu Hai) Co., Ltd.\3\...................            0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review. The Department intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date 
of these final results of this review. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- (or customer-) specific 
assessment rates for the merchandise subject to this review. For any 
individually examined respondent whose weighted-average

[[Page 3177]]

dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the Department 
will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the 
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's 
examined sales and the total entered value of sales.\4\ We will 
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment rate is 
above de minimis. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ In the Preliminary Results, the Department found New King 
Shan affiliated with certain entities and treated New King Shan and 
one affiliated entity to be a single entity. Because we have not 
made any changes to the Preliminary Results, we will assign this 
rate to New King Shan and its affiliated entity in this 
administrative review. See Preliminary Results, and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum at pages 3-4.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in 
NME cases.\5\ Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for entries that 
were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies 
individually examined during this review, the Department will instruct 
CBP to liquidate such entries at the NME-wide rate. In addition, if the 
Department determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of 
the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that 
exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be 
liquidated at the NME-wide rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For New King Shan (Zhu 
Hai) Co., Ltd., the cash deposit rate will be that established in the 
final results of this review; (2) for previously investigated or 
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters that received a separate rate in a 
prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue 
to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide 
entity; 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 exporter that supplied that non-PRC 
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers 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 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.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the 
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 these results and this notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

    Dated: January 13, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
