SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On November 4, 2009, we published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     an antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from the Peoples' Republic of China (China).[1]
                    
                     On November 3, 2020, we published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
                    *Order.*[2]
                    
                     On January 6, 2021, based on timely requests for an administrative review, Commerce initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades.[3]
                    
                     The administrative review covers 53 companies, which is inclusive of the two mandatory respondents, Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity (Jiangsu Fengtai) and Zhejiang Wanli Tool Group Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Wanli).[4] Scope of the Order The products covered by this 
                    *Order*
                     are diamond sawblades. A full description of the scope of the 
                    *Order*
                     is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.[5] Preliminary Determination of No Shipments Six companies that received a separate rate in previous segments of the proceeding and are subject to this review reported that they did not have any exports of subject merchandise during the POR.[6]
                    
                     To date, we have found no evidence calling into question the no-shipment claims made by four of these companies; [7]
                    
                     therefore, we preliminarily find that these four companies had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. For two of the six companies, because CBP data indicated entries during the POR, we requested entry documentation from CBP.[8]
                    
                     Based on information on the record, we preliminarily find that Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd. (Husqvarna) had entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Therefore, because it did not file a separate rate application or separate rate certification (SRC), we are preliminarily considering Husqvarna to be part of the China-wide entity. We additionally find, based on information on the record, that Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd. (Weihai Xiangguang) did not have entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Therefore, we preliminarily find that Weihai Xiangguang had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. For additional information regarding these preliminary determinations, 
                    *see*
                     the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Separate Rates Commerce preliminarily determines that one respondent is eligible to receive a separate rate in this review.[9] Separate Rates for Eligible Non-Selected Respondents Consistent with our practice, because we preliminarily denied the separate rate eligibility for the two respondents selected for individual examination, Jiangsu Fengtai and Zhejiang Wanli, and treated them as part of the China-wide entity, we preliminarily applied to the non-selected respondent the separate rate assigned to eligible respondents in the last completed administrative review, which is 0.00 percent.[10] China-Wide Entity Under Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the China-wide entity,[11]
                    
                     the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because 
                    ( print page 41447)
                    no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review, and the entity's rate (
                    *i.e.,*
                     82.05 percent) is not subject to change.[12]
                    
                     Aside from the no-shipment and separate rate companies discussed above, Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested (which did not file a separate rate application) listed in Appendix II to this notice, to be part of the China-wide entity.[13]
                    
                     Additionally, as discussed above, because we denied separate rate eligibility for Jiangsu Fengtai and Zhejiang Wanli, these two companies are also part of the China-wide entity. Methodology Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, 
                    *see*
                     the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the public 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,*
                     and to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be found at 
                    *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​.*
                     A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice. Preliminary Results of the Administrative Review Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the administrative review covering the period November 1, 2019, through October 31, 2020: Exporters: Separate rate 
                             applicable to the following

 Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with the preliminary results of a review 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 preliminary results in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily denied the separate rate eligibility for the two respondents selected for individual examination and treated them as part of the China-wide entity, there are no calculations to disclose. Public Comment Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii), interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.[14]
                    
                     Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than seven days after the date for filing case briefs.[15]
                    
                     Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information until further notice.[16]
                    
                     Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.[17] Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically using ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.[18] Unless the deadline is extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of these reviews, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h). Assessment Rates Upon issuing the final results, Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.[19]
                    
                     If the preliminary results are unchanged for the final results, we will instruct CBP to apply an 
                    *ad valorem*
                     assessment rate of 82.05 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were exported by the companies listed in Appendix II of this notice and an 
                    *ad valorem*
                     assessment rate of 0.00 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were exported by the non-selected respondent eligible for a separate rate, listed above, Xiamen ZL. If Commerce determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number (
                    *i.e.,*
                     at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.[20] Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 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 upon publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the subject merchandise exported by the company listed above that has a separate rate, the 
                    ( print page 41448)
                    cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review (except, if the rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     then zero cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above 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; (3) 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 that for the China-wide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a preliminary 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 these PORs. 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. Notification to Interested Parties Commerce is issuing and publishing the preliminary results of this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B), 751(a)(3) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4). Dated: July 26, 2021. Christian Marsh, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
