SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 19, 2022, the Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the 

countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of imports of certain steel 

nails (steel nails) from India, the 

Sultanate of Oman (Oman), Sri Lanka, 

Thailand, and the Republic of Turkey 

(Turkey).1 Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

March 25, 2022. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a CVD investigation 

within 65 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 130 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reason for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On February 24, 2022, the petitioner 2

in this investigation submitted a timely 

request that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary CVD determinations.3 The 

petitioner stated that it is requesting a 

postponement because additional time 

is needed to develop the records and 

review responses in order to determine 

accurate CVD rates.4

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the 

reasons for requesting a postponement 

of the preliminary determinations, and 

Commerce finds no compelling reason 

to deny the request. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, Commerce is postponing the 

deadline for the preliminary 

determinations to no later than 130 days 

after the date on which this 

investigation was initiated, i.e., May 31, 

2022.5 Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of

Pentafluoroethane (R–125) From the

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on pentafluoroethane (R–125) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China). 

DATES: Applicable March 3, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 705(d) 

and 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), on January 10, 2022, 

Commerce published its affirmative 

final determination of sales at less than 

fair value (LTFV) 1 and its affirmative 

final determination that countervailable 

subsidies are being provided to 

producers and exporters of R–125 from 

China.2 On February 23, 2022, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

affirmative determinations that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of LTFV 

imports and subsidized imports of R– 

125 from China, within the meaning of 

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

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.3

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these orders 

are R–125 from China. For a complete 

description of the scope of the orders, 

see Appendix I to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

On February 23, 2022, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

determination that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

imports of R–125 from China.4

Therefore, Commerce is issuing this AD 

order in accordance with sections 

735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act. Because 

the ITC determined that imports of R– 

125 from China are materially injuring 

a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of 

such merchandise from China entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise for all 

relevant entries of R–125 from China. 

Antidumping duties will be assessed on 

unliquidated entries of R–125 from 

China entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

August 17, 2021, the date of publication 

of the LTFV Preliminary Determination, 

but will not be assessed on entries 

occurring after the expiration of the 

provisional measures period and before 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination, as further 

described below.5

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation—AD 

In accordance with section 736 of the 

Act, we will instruct CBP to continue to 

suspend liquidation on all relevant 

entries of R–125 from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determinations in the Federal 

Register. These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. For each producer and 

exporter combination, Commerce will 

also instruct CBP to require cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties equal to the cash deposit rates 

listed below. 

Accordingly, effective on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination, CBP will require, 

at the same time as an importer of 

record would normally deposit 

estimated duties on the subject 

merchandise, a cash deposit for each 

entry of subject merchandise equal to 

the cash deposit rates listed below.6 As 

stated in the LTFV Final Determination, 

Commerce made certain adjustments for 

export subsidies from the CVD Final 

Determination to the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins to 

determine each of the cash deposit rates.
