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

6The mandatory respondents in this investigation 

are TIYA International (TIYA), Ningbo Scojet 

Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Scojet), and 

Zhejiang Zhouli. Commerce originally selected 

TIYA as a mandatory respondent. On May 28, 2021, 

TIYA notified Commerce that it did not intend to 

participate as a mandatory respondent. Commerce 

then selected Ningbo Scojet as a mandatory 

respondent. However, Ningbo Scojet did not 

respond to our initial questionnaire.

as mandatory respondents 6 in this 

investigation are receiving individual 

estimated subsidy rates based entirely 

on facts available under section 776 of 

the Act. Consequently, pursuant to 

section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, we 

established the all-others rate by 

applying the countervailable subsidy 

rate assigned to the three mandatory 

respondents. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated countervailable 

subsidy rates exist:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends 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, within five days 

of the date of the publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination and pursuant to section 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we 

instructed U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 

of entries of subject merchandise from 

China that were entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption, 

effective September 10, 2021, which is 

the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, effective 

January 9, 2022, we instructed CBP to 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries on or after 

January 9, 2022, but to continue the 

suspension of liquidation of all entries 

between September 10, 2021, and 

January 8, 2022. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a CVD order, and continue to 

require a cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties for such entries of 

subject merchandise in the amounts 

indicated above, in accordance with 

section 706(a) of the Act. If the ITC 

determines that material injury, or 

threat of material injury, does not exist, 

this proceeding will be terminated, and 

all estimated duties deposited or 

securities posted as a result of the 

suspension of liquidation will be 

refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

final affirmative determination that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

snow throwers from China. Because the 

final determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

705(b) 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. In 

addition, we are making available to the 

ITC all non-privileged and 

nonproprietary information related to 

this investigation. If the ITC determines 

that material injury or threat of material 

injury does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated and all cash deposits 

will be refunded. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does exist, Commerce 

will issue a countervailing duty order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, 

countervailing duties on all imports of 

the subject merchandise that are 

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. 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 Administrative 

Protective Orders 

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 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 determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 705(d) 

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

351.210(c). 

Dated: March 21, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

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

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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 1, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review.1 On January 

26, 2022, Commerce extended these 

final results by an additional 60 days.2

The current deadline for these final 

results is March 30, 2022. Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain lined paper products from 

India. For a full description of the 

scope, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

preliminarily found that Goldenpalm 

had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. Following 

the publication of the Preliminary 

Results, we received no comments from 

interested parties regarding 

Goldenpalm, nor has any party 

submitted record evidence which would 

call our preliminary determination of no 

shipments into question. Therefore, for 

the final results, we continue to find 

that Goldenpalm had no shipments of 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

Accordingly, consistent with 

Commerce’s practice, we intend to 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to liquidate any 

existing entries of merchandise 

produced by Goldenpalm, but exported 

by other parties, at the rate for the 

intermediate reseller, if available, or at 

the all-others rate.4

Application of Adverse Facts Available 

For these final results, we continue to 

find that Magic International Pvt. Ltd. 

and Marisa International withheld 

information requested by Commerce, 

failed to provide the requested 

information in a timely manner, and 

significantly impeded the proceeding, 

warranting a determination on the basis 

of the facts available under section 

776(a) of the Act. Therefore, we 

continue to find that Magic 

International Pvt. Ltd. and Marisa 

International have not acted to the best 

of their abilities and the application of 

adverse facts available, pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, is 

warranted. 

Rates for Non-Selected Companies 

For the rate for non-selected 

respondents in an administrative 

review, generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in a market economy 

investigation. Under section
