SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on aluminum
wire and cable from the People's Republic of China (China) covering the
period June 5, 2019, through November 30, 2020. We determine that ICF
Cable and Jin Tiong Electrical Materials Manufacturer PTE, Limited (Jin
Tiong) are not eligible for a separate rate, and, therefore, are part
of the China-wide entity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 2, 2021, the Department of Commerce (Commerce)
published its preliminary results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on aluminum wire and cable from the People's
Republic of China (China).\1\ The domestic interested parties in this
review are Encore Wire Corporation and Southwire Company, LLC
(collectively, the petitioners for the original less-than-fair-value
investigation). The companies subject to this administrative review are
ICF Cable and Jin Tiong. A complete summary of the events that occurred
since publication of the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full
discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final
determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Aluminum Wire and Cable from the People's Republic of
China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review;
2019-2020, 86 FR 49306 (September 2, 2021) (Preliminary Results).
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Aluminum
Wire and Cable from the People's Republic of China; 2019-2020,''
dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues
and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are aluminum wire and cable from
China. For a full description of the scope of the order, see ``Scope of
the Order,'' in the appendix of the Preliminary Results.
Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs
submitted by parties in this review in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. The Issues and
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 <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. A list of topics
discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as an
appendix to this notice. In addition, a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Final Results of Review
We made no changes to the Preliminary Results and continue to find
that both ICF Cable and Jin Tiong are not eligible for a separate rate
because neither company established its eligibility for a separate
rate. Therefore, we continue to find both ICF Cable and Jin Tiong to be
part of the China-wide entity.
In this administrative review, no party requested a review of the
China-wide entity, and Commerce did not initiate a review of the China-
wide entity. Because no review of the China-wide entity has been
initiated, the China-wide entity's entries are not subject to the
review, and the weighted-average dumping margin applicable to the
China-wide entity is not subject to change as a result of this review.
The existing weighted-average dumping margin, and, therefore, the
applicable cash deposit rate and assessment rate for antidumping
duties, is 52.79 percent, the rate established in the final
determination of the less-than-fair-value investigation.\3\

China: Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 84 FR 70496,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure and Public Comment
Normally, Commerce discloses the calculations used in its analysis
to parties in a review within five days of the date of publication of
the notice of final results, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, in this review, there are no calculations on the record to
disclose.
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
Because we determined that ICF Cable and Jin Tiong are not eligible for
a separate rate and are part
[[Page 73252]]
of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate for antidumping duties of 52.79 percent to all entries
of subject merchandise during the POR that were exported by ICF Cable
and Jin Tiong.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
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, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese or non-Chinese exporters that received
a separate rate in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific
rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 52.79
percent); and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise
that have not received their own separate 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 serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties or countervailing duties prior
to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping or countervailing duties occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding 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), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. 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 which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act,
and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: December 20, 2021.
