Neither section 773(e) of the Act, nor 

19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v), set a deadline 

for the submission of PMS allegations 

and supporting factual information. 

However, in order to administer section 

773(e) of the Act, Commerce must 

receive PMS allegations and supporting 

factual information with enough time to 

consider the submission. Thus, should 

an interested party wish to submit a 

PMS allegation and supporting new 

factual information pursuant to section 

773(e) of the Act, it must do so no later 

than 20 days after submission of a 

respondent’s initial section D 

questionnaire response. 

Extensions of Time Limits 

Parties may request an extension of 

time limits before the expiration of a 

time limit established under 19 CFR 

351.301, or as otherwise specified by 

Commerce. In general, an extension 

request will be considered untimely if it 

is filed after the expiration of the time 

limit established under 19 CFR 351.301. 

For submissions that are due from 

multiple parties simultaneously, an 

extension request will be considered 

untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. ET 

on the due date. Under certain 

circumstances, we may elect to specify 

a different time limit by which 

extension requests will be considered 

untimely for submissions which are due 

from multiple parties simultaneously. In 

such a case, we will inform parties in a 

letter or memorandum of the deadline 

(including a specified time) by which 

extension requests must be filed to be 

considered timely. An extension request 

must be made in a separate, stand-alone 

submission; under limited 

circumstances we will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time 

limits. Parties should review 

Commerce’s regulations concerning 

factual information prior to submitting 

factual information in these 

investigations.37

Certification Requirements 

Any party submitting factual 

information in an AD or countervailing 

duty (CVD) proceeding must certify to 

the accuracy and completeness of that 

information.38 Parties must use the 

certification formats provided in 19 CFR 

351.303(g).39 Commerce intends to 

reject factual submissions if the 

submitting party does not comply with 

the applicable certification 

requirements. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under APO 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 

Parties wishing to participate in these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 2, 2021, Commerce 

published its preliminary determination 

in the LTFV investigation of granular 

PTFE resin from India, in which we also 

postponed the final determination until 

January 18, 2022.1 For a complete 

description of the events that followed

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is January 

1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is granular PTFE resin 

from India. For a complete description 

of the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

No interested party commented on the 

scope of the investigation as it appeared 

in the Preliminary Determination. 

Therefore, no changes were made to the 

scope of the investigation. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs that were submitted by 

parties in this investigation are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. For a list of the issues 

raised by interested parties and 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, see Appendix II to this 

notice. 

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

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

In accordance with section 733(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce 

preliminarily determined that critical 

circumstances exist for Gujarat 

Fluorochemicals Limited (GFCL) and for 

all other producers and exporters.4

Commerce did not receive any 

comments in response to its preliminary 

determination with respect to critical 

circumstances. Based on our 

preliminary analysis, we continue to 

find that critical circumstances exist in 

the final determination. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on the comments received from 

interested parties and record 

information, we made no changes to our 

preliminary weighted-average dumping 

margin calculations for GFCL. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act. Commerce calculated an 

individual estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin for GFCL, the only 

individually examined exporter/ 

producer in this investigation. Because 

the only individually calculated 

dumping margin is not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available, the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for GFCL is the margin 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weighted-average dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Cash deposit 

rate 

(Adjusted for 

Subsidy 

Offsets) 

(percent) 

Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited ............................................................................................................................. 13.09 10.01 

All Others ................................................................................................................................................................. 13.09 10.01 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to the 

parties in a proceeding the calculations 

that it performed in connection with the 

final determination in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because 

we made no changes to our preliminary 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculations for GFCL, there are no 

calculations to disclose for this final 

determination. 

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 

granular PTFE resin from India, as 

described in Appendix I of this notice, 

which are entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

September 2, 2021, the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the affirmative Preliminary 

Determination. 

Section 735(c)(4) of the Act provides 

that if there is an affirmative 

determination of critical circumstances, 

any suspension of liquidation shall 

apply to unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the later of: (a) The date which is 

90 days before the date on which the 

suspension of liquidation was first 

ordered; or (b) the date on which notice 

of initiation of the investigation was 

published. As noted above, Commerce 

finds that critical circumstances exist 

for imports of subject merchandise 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
3774 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2022 / Notices 

produced and/or exported by GFCL and 

by all other producers and exporters. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

735(c)(4) of the Act, suspension of 

liquidation shall continue to apply to 

unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise produced and/or exported 

by GFCL and by all other producers and 

exporters that were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date which 

is 90 days before the date of publication 

of the Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. 

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

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

equal to the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin as follows: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for the respondent 

listed above will be equal to the 

respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin determined in 

this final determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent identified 

above but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

that producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. These suspension-of-liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

In the event that a countervailing duty 

(CVD) order is issued, and suspension of 

liquidation is resumed in the 

companion CVD investigation on 

granular PTFE resin from India, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to require 

cash deposits adjusted by the amount of 

export subsidies, as appropriate. These 

adjustments are reflected in the final 

column of the rate chart, above. Until 

such suspension of liquidation is 

resumed in the companion CVD 

investigation, and so long as suspension 

of liquidation continues under this 

antidumping duty (AD) investigation, 

the cash deposit rates for this AD 

investigation will be the rates identified 

in the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin column in the rate 

chart, above. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of this final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. Because Commerce’s final 

determination 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 or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of granular PTFE resin from 

India no later than 45 days after this 

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 and suspension of 

liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

Commerce will issue an AD order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, AD 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. 

In addition, we are making available 

to the ITC all non-privileged and 

nonproprietary information related to 

this investigation. 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. 

Notification Regarding APO 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

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

written notification of 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 which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination and this notice are 

issued and published pursuant to 

sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: January 18, 2022.
