Certain Steel Nails From the People's Republic of China: Initiation and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review

Resumo

On February 11, 2011, the Department of Commerce ("Department") received a request on behalf of Mid Continent Nail Corporation ("Petitioner") for a changed circumstances review and a request to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails from the People's Republic of China ("PRC") with respect to four types of steel nails. Petitioner's request expressed lack of interest in antidumping duty relief from imports of these four specific types of steel nails. In addition to the four physical descriptions of steel nails, Petitioner requested three of the nails include the labels "roof" or "roofing" on the packaging. The Department is preliminarily not adopting Petitioner's labeling request as an absolute requirement. However, we are preliminarily notifying the public of our intent to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty order as it relates to imports of four specific types of steel nails described below. The Department invites interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
