review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. If the interested party intends 

for the Secretary to review sales of 

merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which was produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover. 

Note that, for any party Commerce 

was unable to locate in prior segments, 

Commerce will not accept a request for 

an administrative review of that party 

absent new information as to the party’s 

location. Moreover, if the interested 

party who files a request for review is 

unable to locate the producer or 

exporter for which it requested the 

review, the interested party must 

provide an explanation of the attempts 

it made to locate the producer or 

exporter at the same time it files its 

request for review, in order for the 

Secretary to determine if the interested 

party’s attempts were reasonable, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011), Commerce clarified 

its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.2

Commerce no longer considers the 

non-market economy (NME) entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to an 

antidumping duty administrative 

reviews.3 Accordingly, the NME entity 

will not be under review unless 

Commerce specifically receives a 

request for, or self-initiates, a review of 

the NME entity.4 In administrative 

reviews of antidumping duty orders on 

merchandise from NME countries where 

a review of the NME entity has not been 

initiated, but where an individual 

exporter for which a review was 

initiated does not qualify for a separate 

rate, Commerce will issue a final 

decision indicating that the company in 

question is part of the NME entity. 

However, in that situation, because no 

review of the NME entity was 

conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review 

(although the rate for the individual 

exporter may change as a function of the 

finding that the exporter is part of the 

NME entity). Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters 

not named in the initiation notice, 

including those that were suspended at 

the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on 

Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS 

website at http://access.trade.gov.5

Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request 

must be served on the petitioner and 

each exporter or producer specified in 

the request. 

Commerce will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation of 

Administrative Review of Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation’’ for 

requests received by the last day of 

September 2018. If Commerce does not 

receive, by the last day of September 

2018, a request for review of entries 

covered by an order, finding, or 

suspended investigation listed in this 

notice and for the period identified 

above, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping or countervailing 

duties on those entries at a rate equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping or countervailing duties 

required on those entries at the time of 

entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption and to continue to 

collect the cash deposit previously 

ordered. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the period of review. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.

Review and Preliminary Determination 

of No Shipments; 2016–2017 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that sales of hydrofluorocarbon blends 

(HFCs), from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) have been made below 

normal value (NV). We invite interested 

parties to comment on these preliminary 

results.

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on HFCs from 

China.1 The notice of initiation of this 

administrative review was published on

from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of 

Deadline for Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated April 13, 2018. 

In this memorandum, we noted that Commerce 

exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected 

by the closure of the Federal Government from 

January 20 through January 22, 2018. See 

Memorandum, ‘‘Deadlines Affected by the 

Shutdown of the Federal Government,’’ dated 

January 23, 2018. As a result, the revised deadline 

for the preliminary results became September 4, 

2018.

order, see Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum 

for the Preliminary Results of the 2016–2017 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of 

Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the People’s 

Republic of China,’’ issued concurrently with and

Memorandum).

Advanced Fluorochemicals (Changsu) Co., Ltd.; (2) 

Dongyang Weihua Refrigerants Co., Ltd.; (3)

Co. Ltd.; and (6) Zhejiang Quzhou Lianzhou 

Refrigerants Co., Ltd. 

7See Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 

‘‘Companies Not Receiving a Separate Rate.’’ 

Pursuant to Commerce’s change in practice, 

Commerce no longer considers the NME entity as 

an exporter conditionally subject to administrative 

reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: 

Announcement of Change in Department Practice 

for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 

Proceedings and Conditional Review of the 

Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping 

Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65970 (November 

4, 2013). Under this practice, the NME entity will 

not be under review unless a party specifically 

requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity. Because no party requested a review of the 

entity, the entity is not under review and the 

entity’s rate is not subject to change. 

8See 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

October 16, 2017.2 This review covers 

12 producers and/or exporters of the 

subject merchandise. Commerce 

selected two exporters for individual 

examination (i.e., T.T. International Co., 

Ltd. (TTI); and Weitron International 

Refrigeration Equipment (Kunshan) Co., 

Ltd. (Weitron)). The period of review 

(POR) is February 1, 2016, through July 

31, 2017. 

In April 2018, we extended the 

preliminary results of this review to no 

later than September 4, 2018.3

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The products subject to this order are 

HFC blends. HFC blends covered by the 

scope are R–404A, a zeotropic mixture 

consisting of 52 percent 1,1,1 

Trifluoroethane, 44 percent 

Pentafluoroethane, and 4 percent 

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane; R–407A, a 

zeotropic mixture of 20 percent 

Difluoromethane, 40 percent 

Pentafluoroethane, and 40 percent 

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane; R–407C, a 

zeotropic mixture of 23 percent 

Difluoromethane, 25 percent 

Pentafluoroethane, and 52 percent 

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane; R–410A, a 

zeotropic mixture of 50 percent 

Difluoromethane and 50 percent 

Pentafluoroethane; and R–507A, an 

azeotropic mixture of 50 percent 

Pentafluoroethane and 50 percent 1,1,1- 

Trifluoroethane also known as R–507. 

The foregoing percentages are nominal 

percentages by weight. Actual 

percentages of single component 

refrigerants by weight may vary by plus 

or minus two percent points from the 

nominal percentage identified above.4

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on our analysis of CBP 

information and information provided 

by the companies, we preliminarily 

determine that Daikin Fluorochemicals 

(China) Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Yonghe 

Refrigerant Co., Ltd. had no shipments 

of subject merchandise during the POR. 

In addition, Commerce finds that, 

consistent with its assessment practice 

in non-market economy (NME) cases, it 

is appropriate not to rescind the review 

in part in these circumstances, but to 

complete the review with respect to 

these two companies and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results.5 For additional 

information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). We calculated export prices 

for the sole participating mandatory 

respondent, TTI, in accordance with 

section 772 of the Act. Because China is 

an NME country within the meaning of 

section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated 

NV for TTI in accordance with section 

773(c) of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 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, and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room B8024 of the main Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be found at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

and electronic versions of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum are 

identical in content. A list of the topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

Appendix to this notice. 

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

Which Are Eligible for a Separate Rate 

As indicated in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Results of Review’’ section below, we 

preliminarily determine that a 

weighted-average dumping margin of 

283.63 percent applies to the three firms 

not selected for individual review 

which are eligible for a separate rate. 

For further information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 

‘‘Separate Rate Assigned to NonSelected Companies.’’ 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Six companies involved in the 

administrative review, including the 

mandatory respondent Weitron, did not 

demonstrate that they are entitled to a 

separate rate.6 Therefore, we 

preliminarily find these companies to be 

part of the China-wide entity.7 The rate 

previously established for the Chinawide entity is 216.37 percent. 

We preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period February 1, 

2016, through July 31, 2017: 

Exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Zhejiang Yonghe Refrigerant Co., Ltd.* 283.63 

* This company was not selected as a mandatory 

respondent but is subject to this administrative review and demonstrated that it qualified for a separate 

rate during the POR.

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis 

raised in any written briefs, not later 

than 120 days after the publication date 

of this notice, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, unless otherwise 

extended.14

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. 

For TTI, we will calculate importer- 

(or customer-) specific ad valorem duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for each importer’s (or customer’s) 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those sales, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 

importer- (or customer-) specific rate is 

zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

We intend to instruct CBP to take into 

account the ‘‘provisional measures 

deposit cap,’’ in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(d). 

Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment 

practice, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 

by TTI, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

such entries at the China-wide rate. 

Additionally, if we determine that an 

exporter had no shipments of the 

subject merchandise, any suspended 

entries that entered under that 

exporter’s case number (i.e., at that 

exporter’s cash deposit rate) will be 

liquidated at the China-wide rate.15

For the respondents which were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review and which 

qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

determined for the non-examined 

respondent in the final results of this 

administrative review. We will also 

instruct CBP to take into account the 

‘‘provisional measures deposit cap’’ in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d). 

For the final results, if we continue to 

treat the six exporters preliminarily 

found not to qualify for separate rates as 

part of the China-wide entity, we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of 216.37 percent, the 

current rate established for the Chinawide entity, to all entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR which 

were exported by those companies.16

We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the 

exporters listed above which have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, then a cash 

deposit rate of zero will be established 

for that company); (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Chinese and 

non-Chinese exporters not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be equal to 

the exporter/producer-specific 

weighted-average dumping margin 

published for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding; 

(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate 

established for the China-wide entity, 

216.37 percent; and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter that supplied that non-Chinese 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) 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 double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1), and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4).

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is rescinding its 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe 

from Taiwan for the period of review 

(POR) November 1, 2016, through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 1, 2017, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order 1 on certain 

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe 

from Taiwan for the POR.2 Commerce 

received a timely request from 

Wheatland Tube (the petitioner), in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.213(b), to conduct an 

administrative review of this 

antidumping duty order with respect to 

11 companies.3

On January 11, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation with respect to 11 

companies: Chung Hung Steel; Femco; 

Founder Land; Kao Hsing Chang Iron & 

Steel Corp.; Kounan Steel; Luen Jin; 

Mayer Steel Pipe; Shin Yang Steel; 

Tension Steel Industries; Vulcan 

Industrial; and Wan Chi Steel 

Industrial.4 On April 9, 2018, the 

petitioner timely withdrew its request 

for an administrative review.5

Rescission of Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review. The petitioner withdrew its 

request for review by the 90-day 

deadline, and no other party requested 

an administrative review of this order. 

Therefore, we are rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe 

from Taiwan covering the period 

November 1, 2016, through October 31, 

2017, in its entirety. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. Antidumping duties shall be 

assessed at rates equal to the cash 

deposit of estimated antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends 

to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as the only 

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 may result in the 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

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 sanctionable violation. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
