SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 19, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
preliminary results of the 2018-2019 administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof from 
China.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary 
Results and we received case briefs from the petitioner, the Diamond 
Sawblades Manufacturers' Coalition, and Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond 
Tools Co., Ltd. (Wuhan Wanbang),\2\ and rebuttal briefs from the 
petitioner and Chengdu Huifeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd. 
(Chengdu Huifeng).\3\ On June 11, 2021, Commerce extended the deadline 
for the final results by 60 days to no later than September 15, 
2021.\4\

sawblades. A full description of the scope of the Order is contained in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\6\

and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by 
interested parties in this review are addressed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties raised, and to 
which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, follows as an 
appendix to this notice. 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. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    We preliminarily found that Bosun Tools Co., Ltd., Danyang Weiwang 
Tools Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical 
Industrial Co., Ltd., which have been eligible for separate rates in 
previous segments of the proceeding and are subject to this review, did 
not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.\7\ No 
party commented on the Preliminary Results regarding our no-shipments 
determination. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find 
that these companies did not have any shipments of subject merchandise 
during the POR and will issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on 
these final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 14874.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, and for the 
reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we did not 
make changes to the preliminary calculations of the weighted-average 
dumping margins for the mandatory respondents, Chengdu Huifeng and 
Wuhan Wanbang, and the margin assigned to the separate rate 
respondents.

Separate Rate for Non-Selected Companies

    In the Preliminary Results, we found that evidence provided by 
Chengdu Huifeng, the Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity,\8\ Wuhan Wanbang, 
and Zhejiang Wanli Tools Group Co., Ltd., supported finding an absence 
of both de jure and de facto government control, and, therefore, we 
preliminarily granted a separate rate to each of these

[[Page 46824]]

companies/company groups.\9\ We received no comments since the issuance 
of the Preliminary Results regarding our determination that these four 
companies/company groups are eligible for a separate rate. As in the 
Preliminary Results, Commerce calculated rates for the mandatory 
respondents Chengdu Huifeng and Wuhan Wanbang that are zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Therefore, in accordance 
with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act and its prior practice, Commerce 
assigned a simple average of Chengdu Huifeng's calculated rate (i.e., 
0.00 percent) and Wuhan Wanbang's AFA rate (i.e., 82.05 percent) as the 
separate rate for the non-examined separate rate exporters for these 
final results.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity is comprised of Jiangsu 
Fengtai Diamond Tool Manufacturer Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Fengtai Diamond 
Tools Co., Ltd.; and Jiangsu Fengtai Sawing Industry Co., Ltd. See 
Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 
2014-2015, 82 FR 26912, 26913, n. 5 (June 12, 2017).
    \9\ See the ``Separate Rates'' section of the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum.
    \10\ For more details on our methodology in selecting a rate for 
a non-examined separate rate exporter, see the ``Separate Rates'' 
section of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    As stated in the Preliminary Results, because no party requested a 
review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under 
review and the entity's rate is not subject to change (i.e., 82.05 
percent).\11\ Aside from the no-shipment and separate rate companies 
discussed above, Commerce considers all other companies for which a 
review was requested and which did not file a separate rate application 
to be part of the China-wide entity.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's 
Republic of China; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2012-2013, 80 FR 32344 (June 8, 2015).
    \12\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 2159 (February 6, 2019) (``All firms 
listed below that wish to qualify for separate rate status in the 
administrative reviews involving NME countries must complete, as 
appropriate, either a separate rate application or certification, as 
described below.''); see also Appendix II for the list of companies 
that are subject to this administrative review and considered to be 
part of the China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Administrative Review

    As a result of this administrative review, Commerce determines that 
the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period 
November 1, 2018, through October 31, 2019:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Weighted-average
                      Exporters                         dumping margin
                                                           (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chengdu Huifeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd....                0.00
Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co., Ltd..........               82.05
Separate Rate Applicable to the Following Non-
 Selected Companies:
    Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity...................               41.03
    Zhejiang Wanli Tools Group Co., Ltd.............               41.03
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these 
final results within five days of any public announcement or, if there 
is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication 
of this notice of final results in the Federal Register in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the 
final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of 
publication of these 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).
    Because the dumping margin for Chengdu Huifeng New Material 
Technology Co., Ltd. is zero, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 
the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\13\ For 
Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., we will instruct CBP to 
apply an antidumping duty assessment rate of 82.05 percent to all 
entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States during 
the POR. For all non-selected respondents that received a separate 
rate, we will instruct CBP to apply an antidumping duty assessment rate 
of 41.03 percent to all entries of subject merchandise that entered the 
United States during the POR. For the three companies that we 
determined had no reviewable entries of the subject merchandise in this 
review period, 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, 82.05 percent. For all other companies, we will 
instruct CBP to apply the antidumping duty assessment rate of the 
China-wide entity to all entries of subject merchandise exported by 
these companies.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012).
    \14\ See Initiation Notice, 85 FR at 2160 (``All firms listed 
below that wish to qualify for separate rate status in the 
administrative reviews involving NME countries must complete, as 
appropriate, either a separate rate application or certification, as 
described below.'')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 subject merchandise exported 
by the companies listed above that have separate rates, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established in these final results of 
review for each exporter as listed above; (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 final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a

[[Page 46825]]

certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 
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

    Commerce is issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: August 16, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
