event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the 

petitioners. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2), Commerce requires that 

requests by respondents for 

postponement of a final antidumping 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On December 7, 2020, and December 

9, 2020, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), 

MTD Products, Inc. (the petitioner) 13

and respondent Ningbo Daye,14

respectively, requested that Commerce 

postpone the final determination and 

that provisional measures be extended 

to a period not to exceed six 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 exporter accounts 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 

CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: December 22, 2020.

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 the 

investigation covers certain walk-behind 

lawn mowers, whether self-propelled 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 

(kw). 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 (CPSC) Safety Standard For 

Walk-Behind 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 (EPA) 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 this 

investigation may also enter under 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 24, 2020, Commerce 

published its Final Results of this 

administrative review.1 On November 

30, 2020, Venus Wire Industries Pvt. 

Ltd., and its affiliates Hindustan Inox, 

Precision Metals, and Sieves 

Manufacturers (India) Pvt. Ltd. 

(collectively, the Venus Group), one of 

the mandatory respondents in this 

administrative review, timely submitted 

ministerial error comments regarding 

Commerce’s Final Results.2 On 

December 1, 2020, the petitioners filed 

comments rebutting the Venus Group’s 

assertion that Commerce committed a 

ministerial error.3 Commerce is 

amending its Final Results to correct the 

ministerial error raised by the Venus 

Group. 

Legal Framework 

A ministerial error, as defined in 

section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), includes ‘‘errors 

in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical errors 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

type of unintentional error which the 

administering authority considers 

ministerial.’’ 4 With respect to final 

results of administrative reviews, 19 

CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and if appropriate, correct any 

ministerial error by amending . . .the 

final results of review. . . .’’ 

Ministerial Error 

In the Final Results, Commerce 

indicated that it was adjusting the 

Venus Group’s direct material cost or 

DIRMAT to take into account whether 

the producer is the Venus Group or its 

unaffiliated suppliers.5 We stated that 

we adjusted the Venus Group’s direct 

material cost or DIRMAT where the 

producer is identified as the Venus 

Group.6 However, in the Final Results, 

we incorrectly adjusted the Venus 

Group’s direct material cost or DIRMAT 

regardless of whether the producer was 

identified as the Venus Group or one of 

its unaffiliated suppliers. Accordingly, 

Commerce determines that, in 

accordance with section 751(h) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it made a 

ministerial error in the Final Results. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce is amending the Final 

Results to reflect the correction of this 

ministerial error in the calculation of 

the final weighted-average dumping 

margin assigned to the Venus Group, 

which changes from 17.24 percent to 

16.48 percent.7 For a detailed 

discussion of this ministerial error, as 

well as Commerce’s analysis, see 

Amended Final Analysis 

Memorandum.8

Amended Final Results of Review 

As a result of correcting the 

ministerial error described above, 

Commerce determines that, for the 

period of review (POR) February 1, 2018 

through January 31, 2019, the following 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists for the Venus Group: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd., 

and its affiliates Hindustan Inox, 

Precision Metals and Sieves 

Manufacturers (India) Pvt. Ltd ..... 16.48 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these amended final 

results in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Antidumping Duty Assessment 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce shall determine and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protections (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

amended final results of this review. We 

will calculate importer-specific 

assessment rate on the basis of the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered values of the 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212.(b)(1). 

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the amended final results 

of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective 

retroactively for all shipments of subject 

merchandise that entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after November 24, 2020, the date of 

publication of the Final Results of this 

administrative review, as provided for 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for the Venus 

Group will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

these amended final results of this 

review; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 12.45 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation.9 These 

cash 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)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on June 22, 2020.1 We selected Ducar 

Technology Co., Ltd. (Ducar) as the 

mandatory respondent.2 On August 11, 

2020, Commerce postponed the 

preliminary determination of this 

investigation, and the revised deadline 

is now December 22, 2020.3 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this 

investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

The signed and the electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are certain walk-behind 

lawn mowers and parts thereof from 

Vietnam. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,5 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).6 No interested 

party commented on the scope of the 

investigation within the allotted time 

period. However, on November 6, 2020, 

Commerce solicited comments from 

interested parties regarding the overlap 

in the scope of the antidumping (AD) 

and countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of lawn mowers and the 

scope of the AD and CVD investigations 

of certain vertical shaft engines and 

parts thereof from China, and certain 

interested parties submitted comments 

and rebuttal comments.7 For a summary 

of the product coverage comments and 

rebuttal responses submitted to the 

record for this investigation, and 

accompanying discussion and analysis 

of all comments timely received, see the 

Preliminary Scope Determination 

Memorandum.8 As a result of our 

analysis of comments received, we have 

preliminarily revised the scope of the 

investigation. See Appendix I. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated export prices in accordance 

with section 772(a) of the Act and 

constructed export prices in accordance 

with section 772(b) of the Act. Because 

Vietnam is a non-market economy, 

within the meaning of section 771(18) of 

the Act, Commerce has calculated 

normal value in accordance with section 

773(c) of the Act. 

In addition, Commerce has relied on 

facts available under section 776(a) of 

the Act to determine the cash deposit 

rate assigned to the Vietnam-wide 

entity. Furthermore, pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, 

because the Vietnam-wide entity did not 

cooperate to the best of its ability in 

responding to Commerce’s request for 

data, Commerce has preliminarily relied 

upon facts otherwise available, with 

adverse inferences, for the Vietnamwide entity. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying Commerce’s 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
