SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this administrative
review on November 5, 2021.\1\ No party commented on our Preliminary
Results. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

of China: Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2020-2021, 86
FR 61133 (November 5, 2021) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order <SUP>2</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Uncovered Innerspring Units from the People's Republic
of China: Notice of Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 7661 (February 19,
2009) (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. All
uncovered innerspring units are included in the scope regardless of
width and length. Included within this definition are innersprings
typically ranging from 30.5 inches to 76 inches in width and 68 inches
to 84 inches in length. Innersprings for crib mattresses typically
range from 25 inches to 27 inches in width and 50 inches to 52 inches
in length.
Uncovered innerspring units are suitable for use as the innerspring
component in the manufacture of innerspring mattresses, including
mattresses that incorporate a foam encasement around the innerspring.
Pocketed and non-pocketed innerspring units are included in this
definition. Non-pocketed innersprings are typically joined together
with helical wire and border rods. Non-pocketed innersprings are
included in this definition regardless of whether they have border rods
attached to the perimeter of the innerspring. Pocketed innersprings are
individual coils covered by a ``pocket'' or ``sock'' of a nonwoven
synthetic material or woven material and then glued together in a
linear fashion.
Uncovered innersprings are classified under subheading 9404.29.9010
and have 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
United States (HTSUS).\3\ The HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes only; the written description of the
scope of the Order is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Based on a recommendation by Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), on September 6, 2017, Commerce added HTS 7326.20.0090 to the
scope. See Memorandum, ``Request from Customs and Border Protection
to Updated the ACE AD/CVD Case Reference File, Uncovered
Innersprings from the People's Republic of China (A-570-928) and
South Africa (A-791-821),'' dated September 6, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Comfort Coil
had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. As we have not
received any information to contradict that determination, we continue
to find that Comfort Coil had no shipments during the POR.
China-Wide Entity
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\4\ Under this policy, the
China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically
requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because
no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and we did not
self-initiate a review, the China-wide entity rate (i.e., 234.51
percent) is not subject to change as a result of this review.\5\ Aside
from Comfort Coil, we did not receive a review request for any other
company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\5\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
As we have determined that Comfort Coil had no shipments of the
subject merchandise in this review, any suspended entries during the
POR attributable to Comfort Coil will be liquidated at the China-wide
entity rate.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For Comfort Coil, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing rate for the most recent period, i.e., the China-wide rate
of 234.51 percent; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese
and non-Chinese exporters who are not under review in this segment of
the proceeding but who have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) 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 China-wide rate of 234.51 percent; and (4) 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 Chinese
exporter(s) 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 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.
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, 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

review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act,
and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: March 3, 2022.
