Aluminum Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Rescission of Review in Part; 2014-2015

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the 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, 2014 through April 30, 2015. These preliminary 
results cover 175 companies for which an administrative review was 
initiated.\2\ The Department selected the following companies as 
mandatory respondents: Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering 
Co., Ltd. and Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd. (collectively, Jangho) 
and Guang Ya Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd., Foshan Guangcheng 
Aluminium Co., Ltd., Kong Ah International Company Limited, and Guang 
Ya Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd. (collectively, Guang Ya 
Group); Guangdong Zhongya Aluminium Company Limited, Zhongya Shaped 
Aluminium (HK) Holding Limited, and Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd. 
(collectively, Zhongya); and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product 
Co., Ltd. (Xinya) (collectively, Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya).\3\ The 
Department preliminarily determines that Jangho and Guang Ya Group/
Zhongya/Xinya failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of their 
abilities to fully comply with the Department's requests for 
information, warranting the application of facts otherwise available 
with adverse inferences, pursuant to sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We also preliminarily 
determine that two companies, Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited (Xin 
Wei) and Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited, had no shipments. If these 
preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, we 
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Interested parties are 
invited to comment on these preliminary results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Department initiated this review on July 1, 2015. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 80 FR 37588 (July 1, 2015) (Initiation Notice).
    \2\ Id., 80 FR at 37590-37593.
    \3\ In prior segments of this proceeding, the Department found 
that Guang Ya Group, Zhongya, and Xinya were affiliated with each 
other and should be treated as a single entity. See, e.g., Aluminum 
Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of

classifiable under HTSUS numbers: 8418.99.80.50 and 8418.99.80.60. 
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written description of the scope of this Order is 
dispositive.

Tolling of Deadline of Preliminary Results of Review

    As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department has exercised its 
discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to the recent 
closure of the Federal Government. All deadlines in this segment of the 
proceeding have been extended by four business days.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Memorandum for the Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Tolling of 
Administrative Deadlines as a Result of the Government Closure 
during Snowstorm `Jonas,''' dated January 27, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), based on timely withdrawal of the 
requests for review, we are partially rescinding this administrative 
review with respect to 129 companies named in the Initiation Notice.\7\ 
See Appendix II for a full list of these companies.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Initiation Notice, 80 FR at 37590-37593.
    \8\ See also the Preliminary Decision Memorandum for further 
details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    In the Initiation Notice, we informed parties of the opportunity to 
request a separate rate.\9\ 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 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 30 calendar days of 
the publication of the Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Id., 80 FR at 37589-37590.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In this review, 21 companies for which a review was requested and 
which remain under review did not submit separate-rate information to 
rebut the presumption that they are subject to government control.\10\ 
These companies are: Belton (Asia) Development Ltd.; Classic & 
Contemporary Inc.; Danfoss Micro Channel Heat Exchanger (Jia Xing) Co., 
Ltd.; Dongguan Golden Tiger Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; Ever Extend 
Ent. Ltd.; Fenghua Metal Product Factory; FookShing Metal & Plastic Co. 
Ltd.; Foshan Golden Source Aluminum Products Co., Ltd.; Global Point 
Technology (Far East) Limited; Gold Mountain International Development 
Limited; Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc.; Hebei Xusen 
Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd.; Jackson Travel Products Co., Ltd.; New 
Zhongya Aluminum Factory; Shanghai Automobile Air-Conditioner 
Accessories Co., Ltd.; Southwest Aluminum (Group) Co., Ltd.; Suzhou 
NewHongJi Precision Part Co., Ltd.; Union Aluminum (SIP) Co.; Whirlpool 
Canada L.P.; Whirlpool Microwave Products Development Ltd.; and Xin Wei 
Aluminum Co. As further discussed in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum,\11\ we preliminarily determine that these entities have not 
demonstrated that they operate free from government control and thus 
are not eligible for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 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 among these 
21 companies because its successor in interest, Guangdong Zhongya, 
is part of the Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya single entity.
    \11\ See Memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to 
Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, 
``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Aluminum Extrusions from the People's 
Republic of China; 2014-2015,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Two additional companies that remain under review, Atlas Integrated 
Manufacturing Ltd. (Atlas) and Genimex Shanghai, Ltd. (Genimex), 
submitted separate-rate applications, but, as further discussed in the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we preliminarily determine that these 
companies are not eligible for a separate rate.
    In addition, nine companies still under review submitted separate-
rate applications or separate-rate

[[Page 38666]]

certifications and, where applicable, responses to supplemental 
questionnaires which provide sufficient information to preliminarily 
determine that they are entitled to a separate rate. These nine 
companies are: Allied Maker Limited; Birchwoods (Lin'an) Leisure 
Products Co., Ltd.; Changzhou Changzheng Evaporator Co., Ltd.; Dongguan 
Aoda Aluminum Co., Ltd.; JMA (HK) Company Limited; Kam Kiu Aluminium 
Products Sdn. Bhd.; Metaltek Group Co., Ltd.; Taishan City Kam Kiu 
Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Jinmao Import & Export 
Corp., Ltd. 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 statute and the Department's regulations do not address the 
establishment of the rate applied to individual respondents not 
selected for individual examination when the Department limits its 
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) 
of the Act. Generally, the Department looks to section 735(c)(5) of the 
Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in 
an investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for separate-
rate respondents which we did not examine individually in an 
administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act notes a 
preference that we are not to calculate an all-others rate using rates 
for individually-examined respondents which are zero, de minimis, or 
based entirely on facts available. 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.
    In previous cases, the Department has determined that a reasonable 
method to use when the rates for respondents selected for individual 
examination are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available 
is to assign non-examined respondents the average of the most recently-
determined weighted-average dumping margins that are not zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available.\12\ These rates may be 
from the investigation, a prior administrative review, or a new shipper 
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge from Taiwan; 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013-2014, 
81 FR 22578 (April 18, 2016) and accompanying Issues and Decision 
Memorandum at Comment 1; see also Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof 
From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews and Rescission of 
Reviews in Part, 73 FR 52823, 52824 (September 11, 2008) and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 16.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For these preliminary results, the rates we determined for the 
mandatory respondents were either zero, de minimis, or based entirely 
on facts available. Therefore, we preliminarily determine to apply a 
margin (that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts 
available) from the most recently-completed segment in this proceeding 
to the non-examined separate-rate companies. This determination is 
consistent with precedent \13\ and the most reasonable method to 
determine the separate rate in the instant review. Pursuant to this 
method, we are preliminarily assigning the margin of 86.01 percent, the 
sole margin calculated in the immediately-preceding segment of this 
proceeding for the mandatory respondent and applied to the non-examined 
separate-rate respondents,\14\ to the non-examined separate-rate 
respondents in the instant review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id. This is also consistent with the Department's 
determination in prior segments of this proceeding. See 2010-2012 
Final Results, 79 FR at 99 and 2012-2013 Final Results, 79 FR at 
78786. See also Yangzhou Bestpak Gifts & Crafts Co., Ltd. v. United 
States, 716 F.3d 1370, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (recognizing and 
affirmatively discussing the Department's normal methodology for 
calculating a separate rate).
    \14\ See 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 FR at 75063.
    \15\ See Letter from Xin Wei to the Department, ``Aluminum 
Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Certification of No 
Sales, Shipments, or Entries,'' dated July 22, 2015 and Letter from 
Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited and Permasteelisa South China 
Factory, ``Aluminum Extrusions From the People's Republic of China: 
Notice of No Sales,'' dated July 28, 2015. While the Department 
issued standard no-shipment port inquiries for Xin Wei and 
Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited, we did not do so with regard to 
Permasteelisa South China Factory because Permasteelisa South China 
Factory was not granted separate rate status in a prior segment of 
this proceeding. See, e.g., 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 FR at 75063, 
footnote 30.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Two companies for which a review was requested and remain under 
review, Xin Wei and Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited, timely submitted 
certifications indicating that they had no exports, sales, shipments, 
or entries of subject merchandise during the POR.\15\ Consistent with 
our practice, the Department requested that CBP conduct a query on 
potential shipments made by Xin Wei and Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited 
during the POR; CBP provided no evidence that contradicted either Xin
Wei's or Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited's claims of no shipments. 
Based on Xin Wei's and Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited's no-shipment 
certifications and our analysis of the CBP information, we 
preliminarily determine that neither Xin Wei nor Permasteelisa Hong 
Kong Limited had shipments during the POR. However, consistent with our 
practice in NME cases, the Department is not rescinding this review, in 
part, but intends to complete the review with respect to Xin Wei and 
Permasteelisa Hong Kong Limited and issue appropriate instructions to 
CBP based on the final results of the review.\16\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65695 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application of Adverse Facts Available

    Pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) and 776(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), and (D) 
of the Act, the Department preliminarily finds that the use of facts 
otherwise available is warranted with respect to Jangho. On May 5, 
2016, Jangho submitted a letter to the Department in which it announced 
its withdrawal from active participation as a mandatory respondent in 
the instant administrative review.\17\ By withdrawing from 
participation in this proceeding, Jangho withheld necessary information 
requested by the Department and therefore significantly impeded the 
proceeding. Furthermore, some of the information Jangho did provide 
prior to its withdrawal from this proceeding was not in the form and 
manner requested, and Jangho's withdrawal precludes verification of the 
information it did provide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Letter from Jangho to the Department, ``2014-2015 
Administrative Review of Aluminum Extrusions from the People's 
Republic of China,'' dated May 5, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department also preliminarily finds that the use of facts 
otherwise available is warranted with respect to Guang Ya Group/
Zhongya/Xinya in accordance with sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of the 
Act. On November 23, 2015, Zhongya submitted a letter to the Department 
stating that it would not be responding to the Department's 
questionnaires.\18\ In addition, on November 25, 2015, Guang Ya Group 
submitted a letter informing the Department that it was withdrawing 
from participation in this review.\19\ As a result, Guang Ya Group/
Zhongya/

[[Page 38667]]

Xinya withheld information that was requested by the Department and 
thus significantly impeded the proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Letter from Zhongya Aluminum Company Limited, Guangdong 
Zhongya Aluminium Company Limited, Zhongya Shaped Aluminum (HK) 
Holding Limited, and Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd. to the 
Department, ``Aluminum Extrusions from China: Antidumping (AD) And 
Countervailing Duty (CVD) Questionnaires,'' dated November 23, 2015.
    \19\ See Letter from Guang Ya Group to the Department, dated 
November 25, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, the Department 
preliminarily determines that both Jangho and Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/
Xinya failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of their abilities 
to comply with the Department's requests for information, and, thus, an 
adverse inference is warranted.
    Because the Department preliminarily determines that Jangho and 
Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya failed to cooperate by not acting to the 
best of their abilities to comply with requests for information, we 
have determined that they are not eligible for a separate rate.\20\ 
Regarding Jangho, the Department preliminarily finds that the record 
contains numerous deficiencies because Jangho did not respond to a 
supplemental questionnaire issued by the Department; therefore, the 
record does not contain the information necessary to make a separate 
rate determination. Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya, on the other hand, 
failed to provide a response to the Department's antidumping 
questionnaire at all. As such, separate rates are not warranted for 
Jangho or Guang Ya Group/Zhonya/Xinya.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See section 776(b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRC-Wide Entity

    As the Department preliminarily determines, based on AFA, that 
Jangho and Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya are not eligible for a separate 
rate, we determine that both companies are part of the PRC-wide entity.
    In addition, 21 companies still subject to these preliminary 
results (listed above) are not eligible for separate-rate status 
because they did not submit separate-rate applications or 
certifications. Two additional companies still under review, Atlas and 
Genimex, submitted separate-rate applications that did not demonstrate 
eligibility for a separate rate. As a result, the Department 
preliminarily finds these 23 companies are also part of the PRC-wide 
entity.
    The Department's change in policy regarding conditional review of 
the PRC-wide entity applies to this administrative review.\21\ Under 
this policy, the PRC-wide entity will not be under review unless a 
party specifically requests, or the Department self-initiates, a review 
of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the PRC-wide 
entity in this review, the entity is not under review and the entity's 
rate from the previous administrative review (i.e., 33.28 percent) is 
not subject to change.\22\

Methodology

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology 
underlying our preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum, dated concurrently with these results and hereby adopted by 
this notice. A list of the topics included in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is included as an appendix to 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 (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at http://access.trade.gov and to all parties in the 
Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce 
building. In addition, parties can obtain a complete version of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum on the Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.

Adjustments for Countervailable Subsidies

    Because no mandatory respondent established eligibility for an 
adjustment under section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable 
domestic subsidies, for these preliminary results, the Department did 
not make an adjustment pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act for 
countervailable domestic subsidies for the separate-rate recipients.
    Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act, the Department made an 
adjustment for countervailable export subsidies for the separate-rate 
recipients. Specifically, we adjusted the assigned separate rate by 
deducting the simple average of the countervailable export subsidies 
determined for the individually-examined respondents in the 2013 (i.e., 
most recently completed) countervailing duty administrative review.\23\

FR 31227 (May 18, 2016). See also Preliminary Decision Memorandum 
for the calculation of the countervailable export subsidies deducted 
from the assigned separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the PRC-wide entity, since the entity is not currently under 
review, its rate is not subject to change.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Conditional Review of NME Entity Notice, 78 FR at 
65970. As the rate for the PRC-wide entity is not subject to change 
in the instant review, the adjusted margin we are applying to the 
PRC-wide entity in the instant review, 33.18 percent, is net of the 
countervailable domestic and export subsidies determined in the 
2012-2013 Final Results. See 2012-2013 Final Results, 79 FR at 
78787; see also 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 FR at 75063, footnote 
27.

Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department preliminarily determines that the following 
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the 2014-2015 POR:

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

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

    Additionally, the Department preliminarily determines that the 
following companies are part of the PRC-wide entity: Jangho (which 
includes Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., Ltd. and 
Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd.); Guang Ya Group/Zhongya/Xinya 
(which includes Guang Ya Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd.; Foshan 
Guangcheng Aluminium Co., Ltd.; Kong Ah International Company Limited; 
Guang Ya Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd.; Guangdong Zhongya 
Aluminium Company Limited; Zhongya Shaped Aluminium (HK) Holding 
Limited; Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd.; and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless 
Steel Product Co., Ltd.); Atlas Integrated Manufacturing Ltd.; Belton 
(Asia) Development Ltd.; Classic & Contemporary Inc.; Danfoss Micro 
Channel Heat Exchanger (Jia Xing) Co., Ltd.; Dongguan Golden Tiger 
Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; Ever Extend Ent. Ltd.; Fenghua Metal 
Product Factory; FookShing Metal & Plastic Co. Ltd.; Foshan Golden 
Source Aluminum Products Co., Ltd.; Genimex Shanghai, Ltd.; Global 
Point Technology (Far East) Limited; Gold Mountain International 
Development Limited; Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc.; 
Hebei Xusen Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd.; Jackson Travel Products Co., 
Ltd.; New Zhongya Aluminum Factory; Shanghai Automobile Air-Conditioner 
Accessories Co., Ltd.; Southwest Aluminum (Group) Co., Ltd.; Suzhou 
NewHongJi Precision Part Co., Ltd.; Union Aluminum (SIP) Co.; Whirlpool 
Canada L.P.; Whirlpool Microwave Products Development Ltd.; and Xin Wei 
Aluminum Co. The rate previously established for the PRC-wide entity in 
the previous administrative review is 33.28 percent.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ Although the Department initiated a review for both Taishan 
City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd. and Kam Kiu Aluminium 
Products Sdn Bhd, it is apparent from the company's separate-rate 
application that Kam Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn Bhd is the exporter 
and Taishan City Kam Kiu Aluminium Extrusion Co., Ltd. is a producer 
only; thus, Kam Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn Bhd is the appropriate 
party to grant the separate rate status.
    \26\ See 2013-2014 Final Results, 80 FR at 75063.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

analysis of all issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of 
publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register, 
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.\32\ The Department intends 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject 
merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity at the PRC-wide rate. 
Additionally, 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 will be 
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\33\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of 
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). We will instruct CBP accordingly.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties, when imposed, will apply to all shipments of subject 
merchandise from the PRC 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 exporters 
that are 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

[[Page 38669]]

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that 
for the PRC-wide entity, which is 33.18 percent; \34\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \34\ See 2012-2013 Final Results, 79 FR at 78787. This rate is 
adjusted for export and domestic subsidies, as appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

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 preliminary results 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: June 6, 2016.
