attributed to companies that we find 

had no shipments during the POR, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate such 

unreviewed entries pursuant to the 

reseller policy,12 i.e., the assessment rate 

for such entries will be equal to the allothers rate established in the 

investigation (i.e., 14.74 percent ad 

valorem),13 if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for each specific 

company listed above will be equal to 

each company’s weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review, (except if the ad 

valorem rate is de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero); (2) for previously investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, the cash deposit will continue 

to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which the company participated; (3) if 

the exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, or the underlying investigation, 

but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the completed segment for the most 

recent POR for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 14.74 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the 

underlying investigation.14

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice.

(LTFV). The period of investigation is 

July 1, 2020, through December 31, 

2020. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on this preliminary 

determination. 

DATES: Applicable August 17, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on February 8, 2021.1 On March 12, 

2021, Commerce limited the number of 

respondents selected for individual 

examination to the two largest R–125 

producers/exporters, by volume, that 

submitted a Q&V questionnaire 

response, and we issued the AD 

questionnaire to them.2 These 

companies are Zhejiang Quzhou Juxin 

Fluorine Chemical Co., Ltd., (Juxin) and 

Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. 

(Sanmei). On May 10, 2021, Juxin 

informed Commerce that it would no 

longer participate as a mandatory 

respondent in this investigation.3 On 

June 3, 2021, Commerce postponed the 

preliminary determination of this 

investigation and the revised deadline is 

now August 10, 2021.4 For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this investigation, see 

the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.5 A list of topics included 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

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. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is R–125 from China. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

this investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,6 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (scope).7 Certain interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice, as well as additional 

language proposed by Honeywell 

International, Inc. (petitioner).8 For a 

summary of the product coverage 

comments and rebuttal responses 

submitted to the record for this 

investigation, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.9

Commerce has preliminarily modified 

the scope language that appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. See the revised scope 

in Appendix I to this notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated export price in accordance 

with section 772(a) of the Act. Because 

China is a non-market economy, within 

the meaning of section 771(18) of the 

Act, Commerce has calculated normal 

value (NV) in accordance with section 

773(c) of the Act. Furthermore, pursuant 

to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, 

Commerce has preliminarily relied 

upon the facts otherwise available, with 

adverse inferences, in determining the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for the China-wide entity. For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying Commerce’s preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Affirmative Determination 

of Critical Circumstances, in Part 

In accordance with section 733(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

imports of R–125 from China for the 

non-selected companies receiving a 

separate rate and the China-wide entity, 

including Juxin, but do not exist for 

Sanmei. For a full description of the 

methodology and results of Commerce’s 

critical circumstances analysis, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,10 Commerce 

stated that it would calculate producer/ 

exporter combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. Policy 

Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice.11

In this investigation, we calculated 

producer/exporter combination rates for 

respondents eligible for separate rates. 

Separate Rates 

In addition to Sanmei, we have 

preliminarily granted certain nonindividually examined respondents a 

separate rate. Also, because Juxin 

withdrew its participation as a 

mandatory respondent in this 

investigation, we have preliminarily 

denied a separate rate to Juxin and are 

treating it as part of the China-wide 

entity.12 See the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum for details. 

In calculating the rate for nonindividually examined separate rate 

respondents in a non-market economy 

antidumping duty (AD) investigation, 

Commerce normally looks to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which pertains 

to the calculation of the all-others rate 

in a market economy AD investigation, 

for guidance. Pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, normally this 

rate shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated AD 

rates established for those companies

13The China-Wide Entity also includes Zhejiang 

Quzhou Juxin Fluorine Chemical Co., Ltd. 

individually examined, excluding zero 

and de minimis rates and any rates 

based entirely under section 776 of the 

Act. Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for Sanmei, the only 

individually examined exporter/ 

producer in this investigation. Because 

the only individually calculated 

weighted average dumping margin is 

not zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts otherwise available, the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for Sanmei is the basis to 

determine the weighted-average 

dumping margin for the separate rate, 

non-examined companies, using section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act for guidance, 

which provides for the determination of 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin for all other producers 

and exporters in a market economy 

investigation. See the table in the 

‘‘Preliminary Determination’’ section of 

this notice. 

Preliminary Determination

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist:

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of subject 

merchandise as described in the scope 

of the investigation section entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, as discussed below. Further, 

pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce 

will instruct CBP to require a cash 

deposit equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which NV exceeds U.S. 

price, as indicated in the chart above as 

follows: (1) For the producer/exporter 

combinations listed in the table above 

and in Appendix III, the cash deposit 

rate is equal to the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin listed for that 

combination in the table; (2) for all 

combinations of Chinese producers/ 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not established eligibility for their 

own separate rates, the cash deposit rate 

will be equal to the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

the China-wide entity; and (3) for all 

third-county exporters of subject 

merchandise not listed in the table 

above, the cash deposit rate is the cash 

deposit rate applicable to the Chinese 

producer/exporter combination (or the 

China-wide entity) that supplied that 

third-country exporter. 

Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides 

that, given an affirmative determination 

of critical circumstances, any 

suspension of liquidation shall apply to 

unliquidated entries of 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. Commerce 

preliminarily finds that critical 

circumstances exist for imports of 

subject merchandise from the nonselected companies receiving a separate 

rate and the China-wide entity. In 

accordance with section 733(e)(2)(A) of 

the Act, the suspension of liquidation 

shall apply to all unliquidated entries of 

merchandise from the non-selected 

companies receiving a separate rate and 

the China-wide entity that were entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date that is 

90 days before the publication of this 

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 

has made a preliminary affirmative 

determination for domestic subsidy 

pass-through or export subsidies, 

Commerce has offset the calculated 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the appropriate rate(s). Any 

such adjusted rates may be found in the 

Preliminary Determination section’s 

chart of estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins above. 

Should provisional measures in the 

companion CVD investigation expire 

prior to the expiration of provisional 

measures in this LTFV investigation, 

Commerce will direct CBP to begin 

collecting cash deposits at a rate equal 

to the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins calculated in this 

preliminary determination unadjusted 

for the passed-through domestic 

subsidies or for export subsidies at the 

time the CVD provisional measures 

expire. These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with this 

preliminary determination within five 

days of its public announcement or, if 

there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Verification 

Commerce is currently unable to 

conduct on-site verification of the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination in this investigation. 

Accordingly, we intend to take 

additional steps in lieu of on-site 

verification. Commerce will notify 

interested parties of any additional 

documentation or information required.

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

on non-scope issues may be submitted 

to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance. 

Interested parties will be notified of the 

timeline for the submission of case 

briefs and written comments at a later 

date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues 

raised in case briefs, may be submitted 

no later than seven days after the 

deadline for case briefs.14

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may comment on 

Commerce’s preliminary scope decision 

no later than 21 days after the 

publication date of the preliminary 

determination. Scope rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the scope case 

briefs, may be submitted no later than 

seven days after the deadline for the 

scope case briefs. These deadlines apply 

for both the AD and CVD investigations. 

For all scope issues, parties must file 

separate and identical documents on the 

records of both the AD and CVD 

investigations. No new factual 

information or proprietary information 

should be included in the scope case 

briefs and scope rebuttal briefs. 

Commerce has modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information until further notice.15

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this investigation 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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a date and 

time to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the 

petitioners. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2), Commerce requires that 

requests by respondents for 

postponement of a final antidumping 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On August 5, 2021, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), Sanmei requested that 

Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.16 In accordance with 

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, the deadline for 

Commerce’s final determination will be 

no later than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its determination. If the final 

determination is affirmative, the ITC 

will determine before the later of 120 

days after the date of this preliminary 

determination or 45 days after the final 

determination whether imports of the 

subject merchandise are materially 

injuring, or threaten material injury to, 

the U.S. industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is pentafluoroethane (R–125), or 

its chemical equivalent, regardless of form, 

type or purity level. R–125 has the Chemical 

Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number of 

354–33–6 and the chemical formula C2HF5. 

R–125 is also referred to as 

Pentafluoroethane, Genetron HFC 125, 

Khladon 125, Suva 125, Freon 125, and Fc125. 

R–125 that has been blended with other 

products is included within the scope if such 

blends contain 85% or more by volume R–
