SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

In the Proclamation of August 29, 

President Trump directed that as soon 

as practicable, the Secretary of 

Commerce shall issue procedures for 

requests for exclusions described in 

clause 2 to allow for exclusion requests 

for countries subject to quantitative 

limitations. The U.S. Department of 

Commerce will create an exclusion 

process for clause 2 by posting the 

newly created form on the Commerce 

website. Requesters will complete this 

form and send the form, the required 

certification, and any needed 

attachments to the U.S. Department of 

Commerce at the email address 

steel232-exp@bis.doc.gov. The posting 

of this exclusion procedure on the 

Commerce website will fulfill the 

Presidential directive included in the 

most recent Proclamation, as well as the 

earlier Proclamations that directed the 

Secretary of Commerce to create an 

exclusion process to ensure users of 

steel in the United States would 

continue to have access to the steel that 

they may need. 

‘‘The Secretary shall, on an expedited 

basis, grant relief from the quantitative 

limitation set forth in Proclamation 

9740 and Proclamation 9759 and their 

accompanying annexes for any steel 

article where (i) the party requesting 

relief entered into a written contract for 

production and shipment of such steel 

article before March 8, 2018; (ii) such 

contract specifies the quantity of such 

steel article that is to be produced and 

shipped to the United States consistent 

with a schedule contained in such 

contract; (iii) such steel article is to be 

used to construct a facility in the United 

States and such steel article cannot be 

procured from a supplier in the United 

States to meet the delivery schedule and 

specifications contained in such 

contract.’’ 

II. Method of Collection 

Exclusion requests described in the 

procedures posted on the Commerce 

website for clause 2 exclusion from the 

Proclamation of August 29 will be 

submitted to the U.S. Department of 

Commerce by email. All exclusion 

requests under clause 2 must be in 

electronic form, but may be submitted at 

any time. However, exclusion requests 

requested under clause 2 if granted will 

only be valid till March 31, 2019. All 

submissions for exclusion requests are 

entirely voluntary.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping order on 1,1,1,2- 

tetrafluoroethane (R–134A) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

covering the October 7, 2016, through

DATES: Applicable September 11, 2018.

Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4474. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 2, 2018, Commerce 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on R–134A 

from China.1 On April 27, and April 30, 

2018, Commerce received timely 

requests for review from two producers 

and/or exporters of the subject 

merchandise: T.T. International Co., 

Ltd. (TTI) and Zhejiang Sanmei 

Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. (also known as 

Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Industry Co., 

Ltd. or ‘‘Zhejiang Sanmei’’) (Sanmei).2

Based on these requests, on June 6, 

2018, in accordance with section 751(a) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), Commerce published in the 

Federal Register a notice of initiation of 

an administrative review covering the 

October 7, 2016, through March 31, 

2018 POR, with respect to TTI and 

Sanmei.3 On August 7 and 21, 2018, TTI 

and Sanmei, respectively, timely 

withdrew their requests for an 

antidumping duty administrative 

review, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1).4 No other party requested 

a review of this order. 

Rescission 

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

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested a review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. TTI 

and Sanmei both timely withdrew their 

requests for an administrative review 

within the 90-day deadline, and no 

other party requested an administrative 

review of this order. Therefore, we are 

rescinding the administrative review of 

antidumping duty order on R–134A 

from China covering the period October 

7, 2016 through March 31, 2018, in its 

entirety. 

Assessment 

Because Commerce is rescinding this 

administrative review in its entirety, 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of R–134A from China. The 

entries to which this administrative 

review pertains shall be assessed 

antidumping duties at rates equal to the 

cash deposits 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 the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a 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 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return/destruction of APO 

materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

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

351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: August 31, 2018.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations performing the duties of the
