Difluoromethane (R–32) From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Affirmative Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that 

difluoromethane (R–32) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) is 

being, or is likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

(LTFV). The period of investigation is 

July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. 

The final dumping margins of sales at 

LTFV are listed below in the ‘‘Final 

Determination’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable January 19, 2021.

and Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 27, 2020, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination of sales at LTFV of R–32 

from China,1 in which we also 

postponed the final determination to 

January 11, 2021. The petitioner in this 

investigation is Arkema Inc. The 

mandatory respondents in this 

investigation are Taizhou Qingsong 

Refrigerant New Material Co., Ltd. 

(Taizhou Qingsong) and Zibo Feiyuan 

Chemical Co., Ltd. (Zibo Feiyuan). 

A summary of the events that 

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

the parties for this final determination 

are discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

frn/index.html. The signed and 

electronic versions of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is R–32 from China. For a 

complete description of the scope of this 

investigation, see Appendix I. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues raised is attached to this 

notice as Appendix II. 

Verification 

Commerce normally verifies 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination, pursuant to section 

782(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). However, due to 

current travel restrictions in response to 

the global COVID–19 pandemic, 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification in this investigation.3

Consistent with section 776(a)(2)(D) of 

the Act, Commerce relied on the 

information submitted on the record, 

which we used in making our 

Preliminary Determination, as facts 

available in making our final 

determination. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the comments received from parties, we 

made no changes to the antidumping 

duty margin calculations for Taizhou 

Qingsong and Zibo Feiyuan. 

China-Wide Entity and the Use of 

Adverse Facts Available 

We continue to find that the use of 

adverse facts available (AFA), pursuant 

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

warranted in determining the rate for 

the China-wide entity.4 In selecting the 

AFA rate for the China-wide entity, 

Commerce’s practice is to select a rate 

that is sufficiently adverse to ensure that 

the uncooperative party does not obtain 

a more favorable result by failing to 

cooperate than if it had fully 

cooperated.5 As AFA, we assigned the

China-wide entity a dumping margin of 

221.06 percent, which is the highest 

calculated rate in this investigation. 

Because this constitutes primary 

information, the statutory corroboration 

requirement in section 776(c) of the Act 

does not apply. 

Separate Rates 

For the final determination, we 

continue to find that Taizhou Qingsong, 

Zibo Feiyuan, Icool International (Hong 

Kong) Limited, Ninhua Group Co., Ltd., 

Shandong Huaan New Material Co., 

Ltd., T.T. International Co., Ltd., and 

Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co. Ltd. 

are eligible for separate rates. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act, which provides instructions 

for calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for separate rate 

respondents that we did not 

individually examine. Section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the 

estimated all-others rate shall be an 

amount equal to the weighted average of 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins established for 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated, excluding zero or de 

minimis margins, and any margins 

determined entirely under section 776 

of Act.6 In this proceeding, Commerce 

calculated above de minimis rates that 

are not based entirely on facts available 

for Taizhou Qingsong and Zibo Feiyuan, 

the two mandatory respondents under 

individual examination. Thus, looking 

to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act for 

guidance, and consistent with our 

practice,7 based on publicly ranged 

sales data, we assigned the weightedaverage of these mandatory respondents’ 

rates as the rate for non-individually 

examined companies that have qualified 

for a separate rate. 

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,8 Commerce 

stated that it would calculate producer/ 

exporter combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. For a 

list of the respondents that established 

eligibility for their own separate rates 

and the exporter/producer combination 

rates applicable to these respondents, 

see Appendix III. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows:

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with a final 

determination, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). However, because 

Commerce made no changes to its 

Preliminary Determination margin 

calculations for the mandatory 

respondents in this investigation, there 

are no calculations to disclose. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

R–32 from Taizhou Qingsong and Zibo 

Feiyuan, the separate rates companies, 

and the China-wide entity. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act, upon the publication of this 

notice, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit equal to the 

weighted-average amount by which NV 

exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for the exporter/ 

producer combination listed in the table 

above or in Appendix III will be the rate 

identified for that combination in that 

table or Appendix III; (2) for all 

combinations of exporters/producers of 

merchandise under consideration that 

have not received their own separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

cash deposit rate established for the 

China-wide entity; and (3) for all nonChinese exporters of the merchandise 

under consideration which have not 

received their own separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the cash 

deposit rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter/producer combination that 

supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of our 

determination. Because the final 

determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make 

its final determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

R–32 from China no later than 45 days 

after our final determination. If the ITC 

determines that material injury or threat 

of material injury does not exist, the 

proceeding will be terminated and all 

cash deposits will be refunded. If the 

ITC determines that such injury does 

exist, Commerce will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is difluoromethane (R–32), or 

its chemical equivalent, regardless of form, 

type or purity level. R–32 has the Chemical 

Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number of 

75–10–5 and the chemical formula CH2 F2. 

R–32 is also referred to as difluoromethane, 

HFC–32, FC–32, Freon-32, methylene 

difluoride, methylene fluoride, carbon 

fluoride hydride, halocarbon R32, 

fluorocarbon R32, and UN 3252. Subject 

merchandise also includes R–32 and 

unpurified R–32 that are processed in a third 

country or the United States, including, but 

not limited to, purifying or any other 

processing that would not otherwise remove 

the merchandise from the scope of this 

investigation if performed in the country of 

manufacture of the in-scope R–32. R–32 that 

has been blended with products other than 

pentafluoroethane (R–125) is included within 

this scope if such blends contain 85% or 

more by volume on an actual percentage 

basis of R–32. In addition, R–32 that has been 

blended with any amount of R–125 is 

included within this scope if such blends 

contain more than 52% by volume on an 

actual percentage basis of R–32. Whether R– 

32 is blended with R–125 or other products, 

only the R–32 component of the mixture is 

covered by the scope of this investigation. 

The scope also includes R–32 that is 

commingled with R–32 from sources not 

subject to this investigation. Only the subject 

component of such commingled products is 

covered by the scope of this investigation. 

Excluded from the current scope is 

merchandise covered by the scope of the 

antidumping order on hydrofluorocarbon 

blends from the People’s Republic of China. 

See Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the 

People’s Republic of China: Antidumping 

Duty Order, 81 FR 55436 (August 19, 2016) 

(the Blends Order). 

R–32 is classified under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading 2903.39.2035. Other merchandise 

subject to the current scope, including the 

abovementioned blends that are outside the 

scope of the Blends Order, may be classified 

under 2903.39.2045 and 3824.78.0020. The 

HTSUS subheadings and CAS registry 

number are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes. The written description of
