assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the importer’s examined sales to the 

total entered value of those same sales 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review when the importer-specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is not zero or de 

minimis. If Negromex’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The final results of this review shall be 

the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.12

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Negromex 

for which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate those entries at the all-others 

rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.13 Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 41 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the finals results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

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

The cash deposit rate for Negromex in 

the final results of review will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by a producer or 

exporter not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in 

which it was reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review or the less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation but the producer 

is, then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 19.52 percent,14 the all-others rate 

established in the LTFV investigation. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends intend to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of our 

analysis of issues raised by the parties 

in the written comments, within 120 

days of publication of these preliminary 

results in the Federal Register, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Certain Corrosion Inhibitors 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 imports of 

certain corrosion inhibitors (corrosion 

inhibitors) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) are being, or are 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. 

DATES: Applicable January 29, 2021.

Scope Comments 

No interested party commented on the 

scope of the investigation. Thus, we 

have not changed the scope of the 

investigation. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are corrosion inhibitors 

from China. For a complete description 

of the scope of the investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).3

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues raised in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is attached to 

this notice as Appendix II. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculations. For 

a discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rate Companies 

No party commented on our 

preliminary separate rate 

determinations with respect to the 

mandatory respondents and the nonindividually examined companies; 4

thus, there is no basis to reconsider our 

preliminary determinations with respect 

to separate rate status, and we have 

continued to grant them a separate rate 

in this final determination. 

China-Wide Entity Rate and the Use of 

Adverse Facts Available 

Commerce continues to find that the 

use of facts available is warranted in 

determining the rate of the China-wide 

entity pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) and 

(a)(2)(A)–(C) of the Act. As discussed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce finds that the use of adverse 

facts available (AFA) is warranted with 

respect to the China-wide entity because 

the China-wide entity did not cooperate 

to the best of its ability to comply with 

our requests for information and, 

accordingly, we applied adverse 

inferences in selecting from the facts 

available, pursuant to section 776(b) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.308(a). For the 

final determination, as AFA, we are 

assigning the China-wide entity the 

highest transaction-specific dumping 

margin calculated for Botao, 277.90 

percent. Because this constitutes 

primary information, the statutory 

corroboration requirement in section 

776(c) of the Act does not apply. 

Combination Rates 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination and Policy Bulletin 

05.1,5 Commerce calculated 

combination (producer/exporter) rates 

for the respondents that are eligible for 

a separate rate in this investigation. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist:

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to parties in 

this proceeding the calculations 

performed for this final determination 

within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of the notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

corrosion inhibitors from China, as 

described in the appendix to this notice, 

which were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

September 10, 2020, the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination of this investigation in 

the Federal Register. 

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 the 

normal value exceeds U.S. price as 

follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the 

exporter/producer combinations listed 

in the table above will be the rate 

identified in the table; (2) for all

People’s Republic of China: Final Affirmative 

Countervailing Duty Determination, dated 

concurrently with this notice. 

combinations of Chinese exporters/ 

producers of subject merchandise that 

have not received their own separate 

rate above, the cash deposit rate will be 

the cash deposit rate established for the 

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

merchandise which have not received 

their own separate rate above, 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. 

To determine the cash deposit rate, 

Commerce normally adjusts the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the amount of domestic 

subsidy pass-through and export 

subsidies determined in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce 

makes an affirmative determination for 

domestic subsidy pass-through or export 

subsidies, Commerce offsets the 

calculated estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin by the appropriate 

rates. Commerce continues to find that 

both Botao and Delian qualify for a 

double-remedy adjustment. We have 

continued to adjust the cash deposit 

rates for Botao, Delian, all nonindividually-examined companies, and 

the China-wide entity for export 

subsidies in the companion CVD 

investigation by the appropriate export 

subsidy rates 6 as indicated in the above 

chart. However, suspension of 

liquidation of provisional measures in 

the companion CVD case has been 

discontinued effective November 10, 

2020; therefore, we are not instructing 

CBP to collect cash deposits based upon 

the adjusted estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin for those export 

subsidies and double remedy 

adjustment at this time. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of the 

final affirmative determination of sales 

at LTFV. We will allow the ITC access 

to all privileged and business 

proprietary information in our files, 

provided the ITC confirms that it will 

not disclose such information, either 

publicly or under an administrative 

protective order (APO), without the 

written consent of the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 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 

subject merchandise from China no later 

than 45 days after our final 

determination. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does not exist, this 

proceeding will be terminated, and all 

cash deposits posted will be refunded. 

If the ITC determines that such injury 

does exist, Commerce will issue an AD 

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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: January 25, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is tolyltriazole and 

benzotriazole. This includes tolyltriazole and 

benzotriazole of all grades and forms, 

including their sodium salt forms. 

Tolyltriazole is technically known as 

Tolyltriazole IUPAC 4,5 methyl 

benzotriazole. It can also be identified as 4,5 

methyl benzotriazole, tolutriazole, TTA, and 

TTZ. 

Benzotriazole is technically known as 

IUPAC 1,2,3-Benzotriazole. It can also be 

identified as 1,2,3-Benzotriazole, 1,2- 

Aminozophenylene, lH-Benzotriazole, and 

BTA. 

All forms of tolyltriazole and 

benzotriazole, including but not limited to 

flakes, granules, pellets, prills, needles, 

powder, or liquids, are included within the 

scope of this investigation. 

The scope includes tolyltriazole/sodium 

tolyltriazole and benzotriazole/sodium 

benzotriazole that are combined or mixed 

with other products. For such combined 

products, only the tolyltriazole/sodium 

tolyltriazole and benzotriazole/sodium 

benzotriazole component is covered by the 

scope of this investigation. Tolyltriazole and 

sodium tolyltriazole that have been 

combined with other products is included 

within the scope, regardless of whether the 

combining occurs in third countries. 

Tolyltriazole, sodium tolyltriazole, 

benzotriazole and sodium benzotriazole that 

is otherwise subject to this investigation is 

not excluded when commingled with 

tolyltriazole, sodium tolyltriazole, 

benzotriazole, or sodium benzotriazole from 

sources not subject to this investigation. Only 

the subject merchandise component of such 

commingled products is covered by the scope 

of this investigation. 

A combination or mixture is excluded from 

this investigation if the total tolyltriazole or 

benzotriazole component of the combination 

or mixture (regardless of the source or 

sources) comprises less than 5 percent of the 

combination or mixture, on a dry weight 

basis. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing language, a 

tolyltriazole or benzotriazole combination or 

mixture that is transformed through a 

chemical reaction into another product, such 

that, for example, the tolyltriazole or 

benzotriazole can no longer be separated 

from the other products through a distillation 

or other process is excluded from this 

investigation. 

Tolyltriazole has the Chemical Abstracts 

Service (CAS) registry number 299385–43–1. 

Tolyltriazole is classified under Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading 2933.99.8220. 

Sodium Tolyltriazole has the CAS registry 

number 64665–57–2 and is classified under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 705(a), 

705(d), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on December 11, 2020, 

Commerce published its affirmative 

final determinations that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

FEBs from China, Germany, India, and 

Italy.1 In the investigation of FEBs from 

China, an interested party to the 

investigation submitted a timely filed 

allegation on the record that Commerce 

made certain ministerial errors in the 

final countervailing duty determination 

on FEBs from China. Section 705(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) define 

ministerial errors as 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 Commerce considers 

ministerial. We reviewed the allegations 

and determined that we made certain 

ministerial errors in the final 

countervailing duty determination on 

FEBs from China. See ‘‘Amendment to 

the Final Determination’’ section below 

for further discussion. 

On January 25, 2021, the ITC notified 

Commerce of its affirmative final 

determinations that pursuant to sections 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of subject 

merchandise from China, Germany, 

India, and Italy.2

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is FEBs from China, Germany, 

India, and Italy. For a complete 

description of the scope of these orders, 

see the appendix to this notice. 

Amendment to the Final Determination 

of FEBs From China 

On December 21, 2020, Shanghai 

Qinghe Machinery Co., Ltd. (Qinghe) 

timely alleged that the China Final 

Determination contained certain 

ministerial errors and requested that 

Commerce correct such errors.3

Commerce reviewed the record and, 

on January 6, 2020, agreed that an error 

referenced in Qinghe’s allegation 

constituted a ministerial error within 

the meaning of section 705(e) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.224(f).4 Specifically, 

Commerce found that it made an error 

in calculating Qinghe’s sales 

denominator used in the China Final 

Determination by excluding ‘‘other 

operating revenue’’ from the 

denominator, and in the use of a 

denominator other than the sales value 

from the period of investigation.5

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce is amending the China Final 

Determination to reflect the correction 

of the ministerial error described above. 

Based on this correction, the subsidy 

rate for Qinghe decreased from 19.88 

percent ad valorem to 19.31 percent ad 

valorem.6 Because we based the allothers rate on Qinghe’s ad valorem 

subsidy rate,7 the correction described 

above also applies to the all-others rate. 

As a result, the all-others rate 

determined in the China Final 

Determination also decreased from 

19.52 percent ad valorem to 19.05 

percent ad valorem.8 Because we used 

the subsidy rate for several programs in 

our calculation of the adverse facts 

available (AFA) rate, the AFA rate also 

decreased from 337.09 percent ad 

valorem to 336.55 percent ad valorem.9

Countervailing Duty Orders 

On January 25, 2021, in accordance 

with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) 

of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce 

of its final determinations in these 

investigations, in which it found that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of FEBs from China, 

Germany, India, and Italy.10 Therefore, 

in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce is issuing these 

countervailing duty orders. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of FEBs 

from China, Germany, India, and Italy 

are materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from China, Germany, 

India, and Italy, entered or withdrawn 

from warehouse for consumption, are 

subject to the assessment of 

countervailing duties.
