Aluminum Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Rescission, in Part; 2012/2013

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on aluminum 
extrusions from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ The period 
of review (``POR'') is May 1, 2012, through April 30, 2013. The review 
covers the following exporters of subject merchandise: mandatory 
respondents Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., Ltd. 
and Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd. (collectively ``Jangho''), and 
the single entity comprised of Guang Ya Aluminum Industrial Co., Ltd. 
(``Guang Ya''), Foshan Guangcheng Aluminum Co., Ltd. (``Guangcheng''), 
Kong Ah International Co., Ltd. (``Kong Ah''), and Guang Ya Aluminum 
Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd. (``Guang Ya HK'') (collectively ``Guang Ya 
Group''); Guangdong Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd. (``Zhongya''), Zhongya 
Shaped Aluminum (HK) Holding Ltd. (``Shaped Aluminum''), and Karlton 
Aluminum Co., Ltd. (``Karlton'') (collectively ``Zhongya''), and Foshan 
Nanhai Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product Co., Ltd. (``Xinya'') 
(collectively ``Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya''); and Kromet 
International, Inc. (``Kromet''), a voluntary respondent. The 
Department preliminarily finds that Kromet did not make sales of 
subject merchandise at less than normal value. In addition, the 
Department preliminarily determines that Jangho and Guang Ya Group/
Zhongya/Xinya failed to demonstrate that they were eligible for 
separate-rate status and thus have been included in the PRC-wide 
entity. We also preliminarily determine that three companies, Hong Kong 
Gree Electric Appliances Sales Limited (``Gree''), Jiuyuan Co., Ltd. 
(``Jiuyuan''), and Shenzhen Hudson Technology Development Co., Ltd. 
(``Shenzhen Hudson'') had no shipments.

Partial Rescission of Review

    For those companies named in the Initiation Notice for which all 
review requests have been timely withdrawn and which were eligible for 
separate rate status at the initiation of this review, we are 
rescinding this administrative review, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). These companies are listed at Appendix II to this 
notice. For these companies, antidumping duties shall be assessed at 
rates equal to the rates of the cash deposits for estimated antidumping 
duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).
    For those companies named in the Initiation Notice for which all 
review requests have been withdrawn, but which were not eligible for 
separate-rate status at the initiation of this review, the Department's 
practice is to refrain from rescinding the review with respect to these 
companies at this time. While the requests for review of these 
companies were timely withdrawn, the companies remain part of the PRC-
wide entity. These companies are listed at Appendix III to this notice. 
The PRC-wide entity is under review for these preliminary results. 
Thus, we are not rescinding this review with respect to these 
companies, but the Department will make a determination with respect to 
the PRC-wide entity at the conclusion of this review.

Separate Rates

    In the Initiation Notice, we informed parties of the opportunity to 
request a separate rate. In proceedings involving non-market economy 
(``NME'') countries, the Department begins with a rebuttable 
presumption that all companies within the NME country are subject to 
government control and, thus, should be assigned a single weighted-
average dumping margin. It is the Department's policy to assign all 
exporters of merchandise subject to an administrative review involving 
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. 
Companies that wanted to be considered for a separate rate in this 
review were required to timely file a separate-rate application 
(``SRA'') or a separate-rate certification to demonstrate their 
eligibility for a separate rate. Separate-rate applications and 
separate-rate certifications were due to the Department within 60 
calendar days of the publication of the Initiation Notice.
    In this review, 21 exporters for which a review was requested did 
not submit separate-rate information to rebut the presumption that, 
like all companies within the PRC, they are subject to government 
control.\4\ These companies are listed at Appendix IV to this notice. 
As further discussed in the Preliminarily Decision Memorandum, we 
determine that these entities have not demonstrated that they operate 
free from government control. Thus, we preliminary determine that they 
are part of the PRC-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ One company, Zhaoqing New Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd. (``New 
Zhongya''), was determined to have been succeeded by Guangdong 
Zhongya Aluminum Company Limited (``Guangdong Zhongya'') in a 
changed circumstances review. See Aluminum Extrusions From the 
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances 
Review, 77 FR 54900 (September 6, 2012). Thus, despite the fact that 
a review was initiated of New Zhongya, it is not being included in 
this list of companies because its successor in interest, Guangdong 
Zhongya, is part of the Guang Ya/Zhongya/Xinya single entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An additional five companies under review submitted SRAs, but, as 
further discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we 
preliminarily determine not to grant these companies a separate 
rate.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ These five companies are: (1) Guangdong Zhongya Aluminum 
Company Limited; (2) Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System 
Engineering Co., Ltd. and Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd. 
(collectively, Jangho); (3) Nidec Sankyo (Zhejiang) Corporation; (4) 
Taizhou Lifeng Manufacturing Corporation; (5) Zhongya Shaped 
Aluminum (HK) Holding Limited.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nineteen separate-rate applicants still under review submitted SRAs 
and responses to supplemental questionnaires which provide sufficient 
information to preliminarily determine that they are entitled to a 
separate rate. A full discussion of the basis for granting these 
companies a separate rate can be found in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies Which Are Eligible for a Separate Rate

    The Department intends to assign to non-examined, separate-rate 
companies the weighted-average dumping margin assigned to non-examined, 
separate-rate companies in the final determination of the antidumping 
investigation.\6\ Neither the Act nor the Department's regulations 
address the establishment of the rate applied to individual companies 
not selected for examination where the Department limited its 
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) 
of the Act. The Department's practice in cases involving limited 
selection based on exporters accounting for the largest volumes of 
trade has been to look to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, 
which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an 
investigation. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act instructs the Department 
to avoid calculating an all-others rate using any rates that are zero, 
de minimis, or based entirely on facts available in investigations. The 
Department's regulations further state that in calculating the all-
others rate under section 735(c)(5) of the Act, the Department will 
exclude estimated weighted-average dumping margin rates calculated for 
voluntary respondents.\7\ Section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides 
that, where all rates are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts 
available, the Department may use ``any reasonable method'' for 
assigning a rate to non-examined respondents.

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

    We preliminarily determine that the application of the rate from 
the investigation to the non-examined separate-rate respondents is 
consistent with precedent \8\ and the most

[[Page 36005]]

appropriate method to determine the separate rate in the instant 
review.\9\ Pursuant to this method, we are assigning the margin of 
32.79 percent, the most recent margin (from the less-than-fair-value 
investigation) calculated for the non-examined separate-rate 
respondents, to the non-examined separate-rate respondents in the 
instant review.

the first administrative review of the Order. See Final Results of 
Aluminum Extrusions AR1 at 79 FR at 99.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Four companies submitted timely certifications indicating that they 
had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the 
POR.\10\ Consistent with its practice, the Department asked U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to conduct a query on potential 
shipments made by Gree, Jiuyuan, Shenzhen Hudson and Skyline Exhibit 
Systems (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (``Skyline'') during the POR; CBP provided 
no evidence that contradicted the claims of no shipments submitted by 
Gree, Jiuyuan, and Shenzen Hudson.\11\ The Department otherwise 
received no comments from interested parties concerning the results of 
the CBP query. However, CBP provided information that contradicted 
Skyline's claim of no shipments during the POR. We intend to follow-up 
with CBP concerning this information subsequent to these preliminary 
results and to allow Skyline to comment on this discrepancy. For these 
preliminary results, we preliminarily determine that Skyline had 
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, failed to submit an 
SRA or SRC, and is thus part of the PRC-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See letter from Gree, ``Aluminum Extrusions from the 
People's Republic of China: No Shipment Certification'' dated August 
27, 2013; letter from Jiuyuan, ``Re: Aluminum Extrusions from the 
People's Republic of China: No Shipment Letter,'' dated August 24, 
2013; letter from Shenzhen Hudson, ``Shenzhen Hudson No Shipment 
Letter and Withdrawal of Review Request in the Second Administrative 
Review of Antidumping Duty Order on Aluminum Extrusions from the 
People's Republic of China,'' dated August 26, 2013; and, letter 
from Skyline, ``Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of 
China: Certification of No Sales, Shipments, or Entries and Quantity 
&Value Questionnaire Response,'' dated August 26, 2013.
    \11\ See CBP Message Number, 4154301, dated 06/03/2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the certifications from Gree, Jiuyuan, and Shenzhen 
Hudson, and our analysis of CBP information, we preliminarily determine 
that Gree, Jiuyuan, and Shenzhen Hudson had no shipments during the 
POR. In addition, the Department finds that, consistent with its 
assessment practice in NME cases, it is appropriate not to rescind the 
review in part in this circumstance, but rather to complete the review 
with respect to Gree, Jiuyuan, and Shenzhen Hudson and issue 
appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the 
review.\12\

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

PRC-Wide Entity

    Jangho and Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya,\13\ the companies that the 
Department selected as mandatory respondents in this administrative 
review, failed to respond to the Department's requests for information 
or declined to participate in this review. These companies, therefore, 
are not eligible for separate rate status.\14\ Additionally, 21 
remaining companies subject to these preliminary results are not 
eligible for separate-rate status because they did not submit separate-
rate applications or certifications, or certifications of no shipments. 
As a result, these 27 companies are under review as part of the PRC-
wide entity.15 16
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The following five companies are part of the Guang Ya 
Group/Zhongya/Xinya entity for which request for review has not been 
withdrawn: (1) Guang Ya Aluminum Industries Co. Ltd.; (2) Guangdong 
Zhongya Aluminum Company Limited; (3) Kong Ah International Company 
Limited; (4) Zhaoqing New Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd.; and (5) 
Zhongya Shaped Aluminum (HK) Holding Limited.

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

Methodology

    The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. Export and constructed export prices have been 
calculated in accordance with sections 772(a) and (b) of the Act. 
Because the PRC is a NME within the meaning of section 771(18) of the 
Act, the Department calculated normal value in accordance with section 
773(c) of the Act.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
preliminary results, please see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 
which is hereby adopted by this notice. The Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is 
available to registered users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov, and it is 
available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the 
main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version 
of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the 
internet at http://www.trade.gov/enforcement/. The signed Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Adjustment Under Section 777A(f) of the Act

    Pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act, the Department 
preliminarily made an adjustment for countervailable domestic subsidies 
which have been found to have impacted U.S. prices. For the non-
examined companies which are eligible for a separate rate, as noted 
above, their weighted-average dumping margin is based on the weighted-
average dumping margin for non-examined, separate-rate companies in the 
less-than-fair-value investigation. This rate was based on the average 
of the petition rates, which were based on prices for sales of subject 
merchandise to the United States. In the companion CVD investigation 
and companion CVD first administrative review, the Department did not 
individually examine certain PRC exporters whose prices were the basis 
for the petition rates. Therefore, those companies were assigned the 
all-other exporters rate as determined in the amended final 
determination for the CVD investigation, and a non-selected company 
rate as determined in the final results of the CVD first administrative 
review.
    Accordingly, in this review, for exporters that did not receive a 
non-selected company rate in the companion CVD first administrative 
review, the adjustment to account for domestic subsidies is based on 
the domestic subsidy rates found for all-other exporters in the CVD 
investigation. For companies that received a non-selected company rate 
in the companion CVD first administrative review, the adjustment to 
account for domestic subsidies is based on the countervailing duties 
found for the non-selected companies in the first administrative 
review. For Changzhou Changzheng Evaporator Co., Ltd. (``Changzheng

[[Page 36006]]

Evaporator''), which had its own calculated rate in the CVD first 
administrative review, the adjustment to account for domestic subsidies 
is based on the countervailing duties found for Changzheng Evaporator 
in the CVD first administrative review. The Department found that the 
rate of these domestic subsidies determined to have passed through to 
U.S. prices is the product of (1) the applicable CVD program rates and 
(2) the documented ratio of cost-price changes for the Chinese 
manufacturing sector as a whole, which is based on data available from 
Bloomberg.\17\ Finally, for Kromet, no such adjustment is necessary 
because Kromet's weighted-average dumping margin is zero in these 
preliminary results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at Attachment 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act, the Department also 
made an adjustment for countervailable export subsidies. For Kromet, an 
adjustment has been made to its reported U.S. price.\18\ For the 
companies eligible for a separate rate, an adjustment has been made 
based on the countervailable export subsidy found for all-other 
exporters in the amended final determination for the countervailing 
duty investigation, if the company did not participate in the first CVD 
administrative review.\19\ For companies that participated in the first 
CVD administrative review, an adjustment has been made based on the 
countervailable export subsidy for the non-selected companies from the 
final results of the first administrative review (or its own calculated 
rate, in the case of Changzheng Evaporator).

Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department preliminarily determines that the following 
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the POR:

Disclosure and Public Comment

    The Department intends to disclose to the parties the calculations 
performed for these preliminary results within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after 
the date of publication of these preliminary results of review.\24\ 
Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be 
filed no later than five days after the case briefs are filed.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ For the Separate Rate Companies (i.e., all companies other 
than Kromet), the Department intends to adjust the weighted-average 
dumping margin, for both cash deposit and liquidation purposes, as 
explained above in the section ``Adjustment Under Section 777A(f) of 
the Act.'' See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at Attachment 2 for 
calculations showing the export subsidy, domestic subsidy, pass-
through rate, and net adjustments.
    \21\ Though the Department initiated a review for ``Hoff 
Associates Mfg Reps Inc. (dba Global Point Technology, Inc.) and 
Global Point Technology (Far East) Limited (collectively, Global 
Point),'' it is apparent, from the company's SRA, that Hoff 
Associates Mfg Reps Inc. (dba Global Point Technology, Inc.) is the 
U.S. importer, while Global Point Technology (Far East) Limited is 
the exporter, and thus the appropriate party to which to grant the 
separate rate status.
    \22\ Though the Department initiated a review for both Taishan 
City Kam Kiu Aluminum Extrusions Co., Ltd. and Kam Kiu Aluminium 
Products Sdn Bhd, it is apparent from the company's SRA, that Kam 
Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn Bhd is the exporter and Taishan City Kam 
Kiu Aluminum Extrusions Co., Ltd. is a producer only; thus, Kam Kiu 
Aluminium Products Sdn Bhd is the appropriate party to grant the 
separate rate status.
    \23\ Though the Department initiated a review for 
``Permasteelisa South China Factory (Permasteelisa China) and 
Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited,'' it is apparent from the company's 
SRA, that Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited is the exporter and 
Permasteelisa South China Factory (Permasteelisa China) is a 
producer only; thus Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited is the 
appropriate party to grant the separate rate status.
    \24\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
    \25\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of 
publication of this notice.\26\ Hearing requests should contain the 
following information: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone 
number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to 
be discussed. Oral presentations will be limited to issues raised in 
the case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 
parties will be notified of the time and date for the hearing to be 
held at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
    \27\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Unless otherwise extended, the Department intends to issue the 
final results of this administrative review, which will include the 
results of its analysis of issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results,

[[Page 36007]]

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results of this review, the Department 
will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review.\28\ The Department intends 
to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For each individually examined respondent whose weighted-average 
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), 
we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates 
based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the 
importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same 
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\29\ For duty assessment 
rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess the 
resulting ad valorem rate against the entered customs values for the 
subject merchandise. If the weighted-average dumping margin for the 
exporter is zero or de minimis, or if the importer-specific assessment 
rate is zero or de minimis, then the Department will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the 
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping 
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final 
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 24, 2011, the Department announced a refinement to its 
assessment practice in NME cases. 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 PRC-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 PRC-wide rate.\30\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The final results of this review shall be the basis for the 
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by 
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated 
duties, where applicable.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties, when imposed, will apply to all shipments of subject 
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after the publication of the final results of this administrative 
review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) If the 
companies preliminarily determined to be eligible for a separate rate 
receive a separate rate in the final results of this administrative 
review, their cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average 
dumping margin established in the final results of this review, as 
adjusted for domestic and export subsidies (except, if that rate is de 
minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for any 
previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporter that is 
not under review in this segment of the proceeding but that received a 
separate rate in the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding; (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 equal to the cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity, which 
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin assigned to the 
PRC-wide entity in the final results of this administrative review; 
\31\ 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(s) that supplied that non-PRC 
exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain 
in effect until further notice.

China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 76 FR 
18524 (April 4, 2011) (``Final Determination'') and Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing notice of these results in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 18, 2014.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
