Hydrofluorocarbon Blends From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2022–2023 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

no companies under review qualify for 

a separate rate. Therefore, these 

companies are considered to be part of 

the People’s Republic of China (China)- 

wide entity during the period of review 

(POR) August 1, 2022, through July 31, 

2023. 

DATES: Applicable September 20, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 9, 2024, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register the Preliminary 

Results of the 2022–2023 administrative 

review of the antidumping duty on 

hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blends from 

China.1 We invited interested parties to 

comment on the Preliminary Results; 2

however, no interested party submitted 

comments. Accordingly, the final results 

remain unchanged from the Preliminary 

Results, and thus there is no decision 

memorandum accompanying this 

notice. Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 3

The products covered by the Order 

are HFC blends from China.4

China-Wide Entity 

In accordance with Commerce’s 

policy, the China-wide entity will not be 

reviewed unless a party specifically 

requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a 

review of the entity.5 Because no party 

requested a review of the China-wide 

entity, the entity is not under review 

and the entity’s rate of 216.37 percent is 

not subject to change.6

Final Results of Review 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that, because none of the 

companies under review with 

suspended entries in the U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data 

submitted a separate rate application or 

certification, none of these companies 

had established eligibility for a separate 

rate. We received no comments with 

respect to our preliminary finding. 

Therefore, for these final results, we 

continue to determine that companies in 

the appendix to this notice are part of 

the China-wide entity, and thus, subject 

to the China-wide entity rate. 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce will disclose to 

the parties in a proceeding the 

calculations performed in connection 

with the final results 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 results in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). However, because 

Commerce determined that each of the 

companies listed in the appendix is part 

of the China-wide entity, there are no 

calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.212(b). Commerce will instruct 

CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment 

rate of 216.37 percent to all entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

which were exported by the companies 

considered to be a part of the Chinawide entity listed in the Appendix to 

this notice. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these final results of 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

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

previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters for 

which a review was not requested and 

that received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate published 

for the most recently-completed period; 

(2) 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 rate for the 

China-wide entity (i.e., 216.37 percent); 

and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 the POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 terms of an APO is a 

violation subject to sanction.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) has received 

requests to conduct administrative 

reviews of various antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders with August anniversary dates. In 

accordance with Commerce’s 

regulations, we are initiating those 

administrative reviews. 

DATES: Applicable September 20, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brenda E. Brown, AD/CVD Operations, 

Customs Liaison Unit, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: 

(202) 482–4735. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce has received timely 

requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), for administrative reviews of 

various AD and CVD orders with August 

anniversary dates. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

various types of information, 

certifications, or comments or actions by 

Commerce discussed below refer to the 

number of calendar days from the 

applicable starting time. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event that Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based 

either on U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) data for U.S. imports 

during the period of review (POR) or 

questionnaires in which we request the 

quantity and value (Q&V) of sales, 

shipments, or exports during the POR. 

Where Commerce selects respondents 

based on CBP data, we intend to place 

the CBP data on the record within five 

days of publication of the initiation 

notice. Where Commerce selects 

respondents based on Q&V data, 

Commerce intends to place the Q&V 

questionnaire on the record of the 

review within five days of publication 

of the initiation notice. In either case, 

we intend to make our decision 

regarding respondent selection within 

35 days of publication of the initiation 

Federal Register notice. Comments 

regarding the CBP data (and/or Q&V 

data (where applicable)) and respondent 

selection should be submitted within 

seven days after the placement of the 

CBP data/submission of the Q&V data 

on the record of this review. Parties 

wishing to submit rebuttal comments 

should submit those comments within 

five days after the deadline for the 

initial comments. 

In the event that Commerce decides it 

is necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), the 

following guidelines regarding 

collapsing of companies for purposes of 

respondent selection will apply. In 

general, Commerce has found that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (e.g., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating AD 

rates) require a substantial amount of 

detailed information and analysis, 

which often require follow-up questions 

and analysis. Accordingly, Commerce 

will not conduct collapsing analyses at 

the respondent selection phase of this 

review and will not collapse companies 

at the respondent selection phase unless 

there has been a determination to 

collapse certain companies in a 

previous segment of this AD proceeding 

(e.g., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review, or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to this review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. 

Parties are requested to (a) identify 

which companies subject to review 

previously were collapsed, and (b) 

provide a citation to the proceeding in 

which they were collapsed. Further, if 

companies are requested to complete 

the Q&V Questionnaire for purposes of 

respondent selection, in general, each 

company must report volume and value 

data separately for itself. Parties should 

not include data for any other party, 

even if they believe they should be 

treated as a single entity with that other 

party. If a company was collapsed with 

another company or companies in the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding where Commerce 

considered collapsing that entity, 

complete Q&V data for that collapsed 

entity must be submitted. 

Notice of No Sales 

With respect to AD administrative 

reviews, we intend to rescind the review 

where there are no suspended entries 

for a company or entity under review 

and/or where there are no suspended 

entries under the company-specific case 

number for that company or entity. 

Where there may be suspended entries, 

if a producer or exporter named in this 

notice of initiation had no exports, 

sales, or entries during the POR, it may 

notify Commerce of this fact within 30 

days of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register for Commerce to 

consider how to treat suspended entries 

under that producer’s or exporter’s 

company-specific case number. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

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

party that has requested a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may
