SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), on July 7, 2021, Commerce published its
affirmative final determinations in the CVD and less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigations of metal lockers from China.\1\ On August 13,
2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations, pursuant
to sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Act, that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized and LTFV
imports of metal lockers from China, within the meaning of sections
705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof from the
People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value, 86 FR 35737 (July 7, 2021) (LTFV Final
Determination); and Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof from the
People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination, 86 FR 35741 (July 7, 2021).
\2\ See ITC Notification Letter, Investigation Nos. 701-TA-639
and 641-642 and 731-TA-1475-1479, 1481-1483, and 1485-1492 (Final)
dated August 13, 2021 (ITC Notification Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are metal lockers from China.
For a full description of the scope of these orders,see the Appendix to
this notice.
AD Order
As stated above, on August 13, 2021, in accordance with section
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination
that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the
meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of
metal lockers from China that are sold in the United States at LTFV.\3\
Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act,
Commerce is issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that LTFV
imports of metal lockers from China are materially injuring a U.S.
industry, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise from China,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, are subject to
the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce intends to direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all
relevant entries of metal lockers from China. Antidumping duties will
be assessed on unliquidated entries of metal lockers from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
February 11, 2021, the date of publication of the AD Preliminary
Determination, but will not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provision measures period and before publication of
the ITC's final injury determination, as further described below.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof from the
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination
and Extension of Provisional Measures, 86 FR 9051 (February 11,
2021) (AD Preliminary Determination).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation--AD
Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures--AD'' section of this
notice, in accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce
intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all
relevant entries of metal lockers from China entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register.
These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
For each producer and exporter combination, Commerce also intends
to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the tables below,
adjusted by the relevant subsidy offsets. Accordingly, effective on the
date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's
final affirmative injury determinations, CBP must require, at the same
time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table
below: \5\

Because the estimated weighted-average dumping margin is zero for
subject merchandise produced by Hangzhou Jusheng Metal Products Co.,
Ltd. and exported by Hangzhou Xline Machinery & Equipment Co., Ltd.,
entries of shipments of subject merchandise from this producer/exporter
combination are excluded from the AD order on subject merchandise from
China. On the basis of the LTFV Final Determination for this producer/
exporter combination, we ordered CBP to liquidate entries of subject
merchandise for this producer/exporter combination, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 11,
2021, without regard to duties and to refund cash deposits. This
exclusion will not be applicable to merchandise exported to the United
States by these respondents in any other producer/exporter combination
or by third parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded
producer/exporter combinations.
Provisional Measures--AD
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion
of metal lockers from China, Commerce extended the four-month period to
six months in this AD investigation.\6\ Commerce published the AD
Preliminary Determination in this investigation on February 11,
2021.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See AD Preliminary Determination, 86 FR at 9053.
\7\ See AD Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, the extended provisional measures period, beginning on
the date of publication of the AD Preliminary Determination, ended on
August 9, 2021. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of metal lockers from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption after August 9, 2021, the final day on
which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative
injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date
of publication of the ITC's final determinations in the Federal
Register.
CVD Order
As stated above, on August 13, 2021, in accordance with section
705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination
that an industry in
[[Page 46828]]
the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of subsidized imports of metal
lockers from China.\8\ Therefore, in accordance with sections 705(c)(2)
and 706 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this CVD order. Because the ITC
determined that subsidized imports of metal lockers from China are
materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of subject
merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce intends to direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by
Commerce, countervailing duties on unliquidated entries of subject
merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after December 14, 2020, the date of publication of
the CVD Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries
occurring after the expiration of the provisional measure period and
before the publication of the ITC's final injury determination under
section 705(b) of the Act, as further described in the ``Provisional
Measures--CVD'' section of this notice.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing
Duty Determination and Alignment of Final Determination with Final
Antidumping Duty Determination, 85 FR 80771 (December 14, 2020) (CVD
Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--CVD
In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of all
relevant entries of metal lockers from China, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the
Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce,
pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for
each entry of subject merchandise in an amount based on the net
countervailable subsidy rates below. On or after the date of
publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal
Register, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on subject merchandise, a cash
deposit for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the subsidy
rates listed below.\10\ These instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice. The all-others rate applies to
all producers or exporters not specifically listed below, as
appropriate:

Provisional Measures--CVD
Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months. Commerce published the CVD
Preliminary Determination on December 14, 2020.\11\ Accordingly, the
provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of
the CVD Preliminary Determination, ended on April 12, 2021. Pursuant to
section 707(b) of the Act, the collection of cash deposits at the rates
listed above will begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final
affirmative injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See CVD Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, Commerce
instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated
entries of metal lockers from China entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, after April 12, 2021, the date on which the
provisional measures expired. Suspension of liquidation will resume on
the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determinations in the Federal Register.

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The scope of the orders covers certain metal lockers, with or
without doors, and parts thereof (metal lockers). The subject metal
lockers are secure metal storage devices less than 27 inches wide
and less than 27 inches deep, whether floor standing, installed onto
a base or wall-mounted. In a multiple locker assembly (whether a
welded locker unit, otherwise assembled locker unit or knocked down
unit or kit), the width measurement shall be based on the width of
an individual locker not the overall unit dimensions. All
measurements in this scope are based on actual measurements taken on
the outside dimensions of the single-locker unit. The height is the
vertical measurement from the bottom to the top of the unit. The
width is the horizontal (side to side) measurement of the front of
the unit, and the front of the unit is the face with the door or
doors or the opening for internal access of the unit if configured
without a door. The depth is the measurement from the front to the
back of the unit. The subject certain metal lockers typically
include the bodies (back, side, shelf, top and bottom panels), door
frames with or without doors which can be integrated into the sides
or made separately, and doors.
The subject metal lockers typically are made of flat-rolled
metal, metal mesh and/or expanded metal, which includes but is not
limited to alloy or non-alloy steel (whether or not galvanized or
otherwise metallically coated for corrosion resistance), stainless
steel, or aluminum, but the doors may also include transparent
polycarbonate, Plexiglas or similar transparent material or any
combination thereof. Metal mesh refers to both wire mesh and
expanded metal mesh. Wire mesh is a wire product in which the
horizontal and transverse wires are welded at the cross-section in a
grid pattern. Expanded metal mesh is made by slitting and stretching
metal sheets to make a screen of diamond or other shaped openings.
Where the product has doors, the doors are typically configured
with or for a handle or other device or other means that permit the
use of a mechanical or electronic lock or locking mechanism,
including, but not limited to: A combination lock, a padlock, a key
lock (including cylinder locks) lever or knob lock, electronic key
pad, or other electronic or wireless lock. The handle and locking
mechanism, if included, need not be integrated into one another. The
subject locker may or may not also enter with the lock or locking
device included or installed. The doors or body panels may also
include vents (including wire mesh or expanded metal mesh vents) or
perforations. The bodies, body components and doors are typically
powder coated, otherwise painted
[[Page 46829]]
or epoxy coated or may be unpainted. The subject merchandise
includes metal lockers imported either as welded or otherwise
assembled units (ready for installation or use) or as knocked down
units or kits (requiring assembly prior to installation or use).
The subject lockers may be shipped as individual or multiple
locker units preassembled, welded, or combined into banks or tiers
for ease of installation or as sets of component parts, bulk packed
(i.e., all backs in one package, crate, rack, carton or container
and sides in another package, crate, rack, carton or container) or
any combination thereof. The knocked down lockers are shipped
unassembled requiring a supplier, contractor or end-user to assemble
the individual lockers and locker banks prior to installation.
The scope also includes all parts and components of lockers made
from flat-rolled metal or expanded metal (e.g., doors, frames,
shelves, tops, bottoms, backs, side panels, etc.) as well as
accessories that are attached to the lockers when installed
(including, but not limited to, slope tops, bases, expansion filler
panels, dividers, recess trim, decorative end panels, and end caps)
that may be imported together with lockers or other locker
components or on their own. The particular accessories listed for
illustrative purposes are defined as follows:
a. Slope tops: Slope tops are slanted metal panels or units that
fit on the tops of the lockers and that slope from back to front to
prevent the accumulation of dust and debris on top of the locker and
to discourage the use of the tops of lockers as storage areas. Slope
tops come in various configurations including, but not limited to,
unit slope tops (in place of flat tops), slope hoods made of a back,
top and end pieces which fit over multiple units and convert flat
tops to a sloping tops, and slope top kits that convert flat tops to
sloping tops and include tops, backs and ends.
b. Bases: Locker bases are panels made from flat-rolled metal
that either conceal the legs of the locker unit, or for lockers
without legs, provide a toe space in the front of the locker and
conceal the flanges for floor anchoring.
c. Expansion filler panel: Expansion filler panels or fillers
are metal panels that attach to locker units to cover columns, pipes
or other obstacles in a row of lockers or fill in gaps between the
locker and the wall. Fillers may also include metal panels that are
used on the sides or the top of the lockers to fill gaps.
d. Dividers: Dividers are metal panels that divide the space
within a locker unit into different storage areas.
e. Recess trim: Recess trim is a narrow metal trim that bridges
the gap between lockers and walls or soffits when lockers are
recessed into a wall.
f. Decorative end panels: End panels fit onto the exposed ends
of locker units to cover holes, bolts, nuts, screws and other
fasteners. They typically are painted to match the lockers.
g. End caps: End caps fit onto the exposed ends of locker units
to cover holes, bolts, nuts, screws and other fasteners.
The scope also includes all hardware for assembly and
installation of the lockers and locker banks that are imported with
or shipped, invoiced, or sold with the imported locker or locker
system except the lock.
Excluded from the scope are wire mesh lockers. Wire mesh lockers
are those with each of the following characteristics:
(1) At least three sides, including the door, made from wire
mesh;
(2) the width and depth each exceed 25 inches; and
(3) the height exceeds 90 inches.
Also excluded are lockers with bodies made entirely of plastic,
wood, or any nonmetallic material.
Also excluded are exchange lockers with multiple individual
locking doors mounted on one master locking door to access multiple
units. Excluded exchange lockers have multiple individual storage
spaces, typically arranged in tiers, with access doors for each of
the multiple individual storage space mounted on a single frame that
can be swung open to allow access to all of the individual storage
spaces at once. For example, uniform or garment exchange lockers are
designed for the distinct function of securely and hygienically
exchanging clean and soiled uniforms. Thus, excluded exchange
lockers are a multi-access point locker whereas covered lockers are
a single access point locker for personal storage. The excluded
exchange lockers include assembled exchange lockers and those that
enter in `knock down' form in which all of the parts and components
to assemble a completed exchange locker unit are packaged together.
Parts for exchange lockers that are imported separately from the
exchange lockers in `knock down' form are not excluded.
Also excluded are metal lockers that are imported with an
installed electronic, internet-enabled locking device that permits
communication or connection between the locker's locking device and
other internet connected devices.
Also excluded are locks and hardware and accessories for
assembly and installation of the lockers, locker banks and storage
systems that are separately imported in bulk and are not
incorporated into a locker, locker system or knocked down kit at the
time of importation. Such excluded hardware and accessories include
but are not limited to locks and bulk imported rivets, nuts, bolts,
hinges, door handles, door/frame latching components, and coat
hooks. Accessories of sheet metal, including but not limited to end
panels, bases, dividers and sloping tops, are not excluded
accessories.
Mobile tool chest attachments that meet the physical description
above are covered by the scope of the orders, unless such
attachments are covered by the scope of the orders on certain tool
chests and cabinets from China. If the orders on certain tool chests
