SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On August 6, 2021, Commerce published the preliminary results of
the 2019-2020 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain steel nails from the UAE.\1\ On November 30, 2021, Commerce
extended the deadline for the final results by 60 days, until February

Results is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\3\

2020, 86 FR 43177 (August 6, 2021) (Preliminary Results), and
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Certain Steel Nails from the United Arab

Duty Administrative Review,'' dated November 30, 2021.
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Certain Steel Nails from the United Arab
Emirates: Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of
the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 2019-2020,'' dated
concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and

Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are steel nails from the UAE.
For a full description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
In the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we address the sole issue
raised in case and rebuttal briefs submitted by interested parties as
reflected in the list of topics provided in the appendix to 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>. 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>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, and for the reasons explained in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, we made certain changes to the Preliminary
Results.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period May 1, 2019, through April 30, 2020.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Middle East Manufacturing Steel LLC......................... 3.47
Rich Well Steel Industries LLC.............................. 4.90
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final results within five days of any
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise covered by this review. We calculated importer-specific ad
valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the
total amount of antidumping duties 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). If an importer-specific
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate that importer's entries of subject
merchandise without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Middle East Manufacturing Steel LLC and Rich Well Steel Industries LLC
for which they did not know the merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate companies
involved in the transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for each company
[[Page 6849]]
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this
review, but covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which
they were examined; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently-completed segment for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.30 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\5\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 27421 (May 10, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 POR. 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 Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the 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 sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 1, 2022.
