the respondent Ducar 14 and MTD 

Products, Inc. (the petitioner),15

respectively, requested that Commerce 

postpone the final determination and 

that provisional measures be extended 

to a period not to exceed 6 months. In 

accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), 

because: (1) The preliminary 

determination is affirmative; (2) the 

requesting exporters account for a 

significant proportion of exports of the 

subject merchandise; and (3) no 

compelling reasons for denial exist, 

Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(a)(2) of the Act. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV. If the final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after the final determination 

whether these imports of the subject 

merchandise are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation consists of certain rotary walkbehind lawn mowers, which are grass-cutting 

machines that are powered by internal 

combustion engines. The scope of this 

investigation covers certain walk-behind 

lawn mowers, whether selfpropelled or nonself-propelled, whether finished or 

unfinished, whether assembled or 

unassembled, and whether containing any 

additional features that provide for functions 

in addition to mowing. 

Walk-behind lawn mowers within the 

scope of this investigation are only those 

powered by an internal combustion engine 

with a power rating of less than 3.7 kilowatts. 

These internal combustion engines are 

typically spark ignition, single or multiple 

cylinder, air cooled, internal combustion 

engines with vertical power take off shafts 

with a maximum displacement of 196cc. 

Walk-behind lawn mowers covered by this 

scope typically must be certified and comply 

with the Consumer Products Safety 

Commission Safety Standard For WalkBehind Power Lawn Mowers under the 16 

CFR part 1205. However, lawn mowers that 

meet the physical descriptions above, but are 

not certified under 16 CFR part 1205 remain 

subject to the scope of this proceeding. 

The internal combustion engines of the 

lawn mowers covered by this scope typically 

must comply with and be certified under 

Environmental Protection Agency air 

pollution controls title 40, chapter I, 

subchapter U, part 1054 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations standards for small nonroad spark-ignition engines and equipment. 

However, lawn mowers that meet the 

physical descriptions above but that do not 

have engines certified under 40 CFR part 

1054 or other parts of subchapter U remain 

subject to the scope of this proceeding. 

For purposes of this investigation, an 

unfinished and/or unassembled lawn mower 

means at a minimum, a sub-assembly 

comprised of an engine and a cutting deck 

shell attached to one another. A cutting deck 

shell is the portion of the lawn mower— 

typically of aluminum or steel—that houses 

and protects a user from a rotating blade. 

Importation of the subassembly whether or 

not accompanied by, or attached to, 

additional components such as a handle, 

blade(s), grass catching bag, or wheel(s) 

constitute an unfinished lawn mower for 

purposes of this investigation. The inclusion 

in a third country of any components other 

than the mower subassembly does not 

remove the lawn mower from the scope. 

Lawn mowers that meet the physical 

description above are covered by the scope 

of this investigation regardless of the origin 

of its engine, unless such lawn mowers 

contain an engine that is covered by the 

scope of the ongoing proceedings on certain 

vertical shaft engines between 99cc and up 

to 225cc, and parts thereof (small vertical 

engines) from China. If the proceedings on 

small vertical engines from China are 

terminated, the lawn mowers containing 

small vertical engines from China will be 

covered by the scope of this proceeding. 

The lawn mowers subject to this 

investigation are typically at subheading: 

8433.11.0050. Lawn mowers subject to these 

investigations may also enter under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS) 8407.90.1010 and 

8433.90.1090. The HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes only, and the written description of 

the merchandise under investigation is 

dispositive.

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 

each of the subsidy programs found 

countervailable, we find that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.6

For a description of the methodology 

underlying Commerce’s conclusions, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received from interested 

parties and record information, we 

made certain changes to the net subsidy 

rate calculated for Reliance. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(B)(5), we 

find the net countervailable subsidy rate 

for the period November 6, 2017 

through December 31, 2018 to be as 

follows: 

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad
