SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 29, 2019, Commerce published the preliminary results of 
the ninth administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
uncovered innerspring units (innersprings) from the People's Republic 
of China (China) for the period of review (POR), February 1, 2017, 
through January 31, 2018.\1\ We gave interested parties an opportunity 
to comment on the Preliminary Results. We received no comments. Hence, 
these final results are unchanged from the Preliminary Results.

    \1\ See Preliminary Results of the Ninth Administrative Review 
of the Antidumping Duty Order on Uncovered Innerspring Units from 
the People's Republic of China, 2017-2018, 83 FR 55144 (November 2, 
2018) and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM) 
(collectively, Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is uncovered innerspring units 
composed of a series of individual metal springs joined together in 
sizes corresponding to the sizes of adult mattresses (e.g., twin, twin 
long, full, full long, queen, California king, and king) and units used 
in smaller constructions, such as crib and youth mattresses. The 
product is currently classified under subheading 9404.29.9010 and has 
also been classified under subheadings 9404.10.0000, 9404.29.9005, 
9404.29.9011, 7326.20.0070, 7326.20.0090, 7320.20.5010, 7320.90.5010, 
or 7326.20.0071 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

convenience and customs purposes only; the written description of the 
scope of the order is dispositive.\2\

Final Determination of No Shipments

    Commerce preliminarily found that Comfort Coil Technology Sdn. Bhd. 
(Comfort Coil), did not have any shipments of subject merchandise 
during the POR.\3\ Commerce also found that Foshan Nanhai Jolyspring 
(Foshan Nanhai) did not demonstrate it is entitled to a separate rate 
and, thus, we consider Foshan Nanhai to be part of the China wide-wide 
entity.\4\ After the Preliminary Results, we received no comments or 
additional information with respect to these two companies. Therefore, 
for the final results, we continue to find that Comfort Coil did not 
have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, and that 
Foshan Nanhai continues to be a part of the China-wide entity. 
Consistent with our practice, we will issue appropriate instructions to 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on our final results.

Analysis of Comments Received

    As noted above, we received no comments on the Preliminary Results.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    As no parties submitted comments on the Preliminary Results, 
Commerce has not modified its analysis from that presented in the 
Preliminary Results, and no decision memorandum accompanies this 
Federal Register notice.

Assessment Rates

    We have not calculated any assessment rates in this administrative 
review. Pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice, because we have 
determined that Comfort Coil 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 
China-wide entity rate.\5\ We will instruct CBP to liquidate entries 
from the PRC-wide entity (including Foshan Nanhai) at the current rate 
for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 234.51 percent). Commerce intends to 
issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the 
publication date of the final results of this administrative review.

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 China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of 
this notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 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 published for the most recently completed period; (2) for 
all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found 
to be entitled to a separate rate, i.e., Foshan Nanhai, the cash 
deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 234.51 percent; and (3) for 
all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not 
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese 
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

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

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 
written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation subject 
to sanction. These final results of administrative and new shipper 
reviews are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) 
and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
