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.
