SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 26, 2021, Commerce 

published its Preliminary Determination 

of sales at LTFV of snow throwers from 

China, in which we also postponed this 

final determination until 135 days after 

the date of publication of the 

preliminary determination, pursuant to 

section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).1 A 

summary of the events that occurred 

since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for this final determination, may 

be found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by interested 

parties in this investigation are 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues raised 

by parties and responded to by 

Commerce in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached to this notice 

as Appendix II. 

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 Act.3

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received and additional 

information obtained since our 

Preliminary Determination, we made 

certain changes to the margin 

calculations for Zhejiang Zhouli 

Industrial Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Zhouli). 

For a discussion of these changes, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rate Companies 

No party commented on our 

preliminary separate rate 

determinations with respect to the 

mandatory respondents and the nonindividually examined companies; thus, 

we find no basis to reconsider our 

preliminary determinations with respect 

to separate rate status, and we have 

continued to grant these companies 

separate rates in this final 

determination. 

China-Wide Entity Rate and the Use of 

Adverse Facts Available 

Commerce continues to find that the 

use of facts available is warranted in 

determining the rate for the China-wide 

entity, pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) 

and (a)(2)(A)–(C) of the Act. As 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, Commerce finds that the 

use of adverse facts available (AFA) is 

warranted with respect to the Chinawide entity because the China-wide 

entity failed to cooperate by not acting 

to the best of its ability to comply with 

our requests for information and, 

accordingly, we applied adverse 

inferences in selecting from the facts 

available, pursuant to section 776(b) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.308(a). 

For the final determination, as AFA, 

we are assigning the China-wide entity 

a dumping margin of 223.07 percent, 

which represents highest individual 

dumping margin calculated for Zhejiang 

Zhouli.4 Because this rate is not 

secondary information, but rather is 

based on information obtained in the 

course of the investigation, Commerce 

need not corroborate this rate pursuant 

to section 776(c) of the Act.5

Combination Rates 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination, Commerce calculated 

exporter/producer combination rates for 

the respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. Policy 

Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice.6

Final Determination 

The estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows:

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to interested 

parties the calculations and analysis 

performed in this final determination 

within five days of any public 

announcement, or, if there is no public 

announcement in the Federal Register, 

within five days of the date of the 

publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we intend to 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

snow throwers from China, as described 

in Appendix I to this notice, which were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after November 

5, 2021, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination of this 

investigation in the Federal Register. 

Furthermore, pursuant to section 

735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, upon the 

publication of this notice, Commerce 

intends to instruct CBP to require a cash 

deposit equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which the normal value 

exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for the exporter/ 

producer combinations listed in the 

table above will be the rate identified in 

the table; (2) for all combinations of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
17986 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2022 / Notices 

7See Preliminary Determination PDM at 26. 

Chinese exporters/producers of subject 

merchandise that have not received 

their own separate rate above, the cash 

deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate 

established for the China-wide entity; 

and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own separate rate above, 

the cash deposit rate will be the cash 

deposit rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter/producer combination that 

supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

To determine the cash deposit rate, 

Commerce normally adjusts the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the amount of domestic 

subsidy pass-through and export 

subsidies determined in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce 

makes an affirmative determination for 

domestic subsidy pass-through or export 

subsidies, Commerce offsets the 

calculated estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin by the appropriate 

rates. Commerce continues to find that 

Zhejiang Zhouli, and all nonindividually-examined companies 

found eligible for a separate rate qualify 

for a double-remedy adjustment.7

Further, we have continued to adjust the 

cash deposit rates for Zhejiang Zhouli, 

all non-individually-examined separate 

rate companies, and the China-wide 

entity for export subsidies in the 

companion CVD investigation by the 

appropriate export subsidy rates as 

indicated in the above chart. However, 

suspension of liquidation according to 

provisional measures in the companion 

CVD case has been discontinued 

effective January 8, 2022; therefore, we 

are not instructing CBP to collect cash 

deposits based upon the adjusted 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for those export subsidies and 

double remedy adjustment at this time. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. Because the final determination 

in this proceeding 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 of 

snow throwers from China no later than 

45 days after our final determination. If 

the ITC determines that material injury 

or threat of material injury does not 

exist, the proceeding will be terminated, 

and all cash deposits will be refunded. 

If the ITC determines that material 

injury or threat of material injury does 

exist, Commerce will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping 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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

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 

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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: March 21, 2022.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation consists of gas-powered, walkbehind snow throwers (also known as snow 

blowers), which are snow moving machines 

that are powered by internal combustion 

engines and primarily pedestrian-controlled. 

The scope of the investigation covers certain 

snow throwers (also known as snow 

blowers), whether self-propelled or non-selfpropelled, whether finished or unfinished, 

whether assembled or unassembled, and 

whether containing any additional features 

that provide for functions in addition to 

snow throwing. Subject merchandise also 

includes finished and unfinished snow 

throwers that are further processed in a third 

country or in the United States, including, 

but not limited to, assembly or any other 

processing that would not otherwise remove 

the merchandise from the scope of this 

investigation if performed in the country of 

manufacture of the in-scope snow throwers. 

Walk-behind snow throwers subject to the 

scope of this investigation are powered by 

internal combustion engines which are 

typically spark ignition, single or multiple 

cylinder, and air-cooled with power take off 

shafts. 

For the purposes of this investigation, an 

unfinished and/or unassembled snow 

thrower means at a minimum, a subassembly 

comprised of an engine, auger housing (i.e., 

intake frame), and an auger (or ‘‘auger 

paddle’’) packaged or imported together. An 

intake frame is the portion of the snow 

thrower—typically of aluminum or steel— 

that houses and protects an operator from a 

rotating auger and is the intake point for the 

snow. Importation of the subassembly 

whether or not accompanied by, or attached 

to, additional components including, but not 

limited to, handle(s), impeller(s), chute(s), 

track tread(s), or wheel(s) constitutes an 

unfinished snow thrower for purposes of this 

investigation. The inclusion in a third 

country of any components other than the 

snow thrower sub-assembly does not remove 

the snow thrower from the scope. A snow 

thrower is within the scope of this 

investigation regardless of the origin of its 

engine. 

Specifically excluded is merchandise 

covered by the scope of the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on certain vertical 

shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and 

parts thereof from the People’s Republic of 

China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines

Also specifically excluded is merchandise 

covered by the scope of the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on certain vertical 

shaft engines between 99cc and Up to 225cc, 

and parts thereof from the People’s Republic 

of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines

Orders, 86 FR 023675 (May 4, 2021). 

The snow throwers subject to this 

investigation are typically entered under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS) subheading 8430.20.0060. 

Certain parts of snow throwers subject to this 

investigation may also enter under HTSUS 

8431.49.9095. The HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes only, and the written description of 

the merchandise under investigation is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 10, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination in the Federal Register.1

A summary of the events that occurred 

since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination may be 

found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2 The Issues and 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. A list of 

topics discussed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included at 

Appendix II. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

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

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are snow throwers from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

There have been no scope comments 

since the Preliminary Determination. As 

a result, Commerce has made no 

changes to the scope of this 

investigation since the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 

this investigation are discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues raised by parties, and 

to which we responded in the Issue and 

Decision Memorandum, is attached to 

this notice at Appendix II. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For each of the 

subsidy programs found 

countervailable, Commerce determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.3 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our final determination, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

In making this final determination, 

Commerce is relying on facts otherwise 

available, including adverse facts 

available (AFA), pursuant to sections 

776(a) and (b) of the Act. For a full 

discussion of our application of AFA, 

see the Preliminary Determination and 

the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise 

Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in 

the accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.4

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 Act.5

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the comments received from parties, as 

well as additional information collected 

subsequent to the Preliminary 

Determination, we made certain changes 

to Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd. 

(Zhejiang Zhouli)’s subsidy rate 

calculations, the rate for noncooperating respondents, and the allothers rate. For a discussion of these 

changes, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

In accordance with section 

705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. This rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any zero and de 

minimis rates and any rates based 

entirely under section 776 of the Act. 

Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of 

the Act, if the individual estimated 

countervailable subsidy rates 

established for all exporters and 

producers individually examined are 

zero, de minimis or determined based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, 

Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable 

method’’ to establish the estimated 

subsidy rate for all other producers or 

exporters. All three companies selected
