SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 

determines that producers or exporters 

of finished carbon steel flanges (flanges) 

from Spain subject to this review made 

sales of subject merchandise at less than 

normal value during the period of 

review (POR) June 1, 2020, through May 

31, 2021. We invite interested parties to 

comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 3, 2021, based on timely 

requests for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce 

initiated an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on flanges from 

Spain.1 This review covers eight 

producers and/or exporters of the 

subject merchandise: (1) ULMA Forja, 

S.Coop (ULMA); (2) Grupo Cunado; (3) 

Tubacero, S.L.; (4) Aleaciones De 

Metales Sinterizados S.A.; (5) 

Transglory S.A.; (6) Central Y 

Almacenes; (7) Friedrich Geldbach 

Gmbh; and (8) Farina Group Spain.2 On 

December 1, 2021, we identified ULMA 

as the sole mandatory respondent in this 

review.3 On February 15, 2022, we 

extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results by 120 days.4 The 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this administrative review is now June 

30, 2022. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5

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 https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx/. 

Scope of the Order 6

The scope of the Order covers 

finished carbon steel flanges. Finished 

carbon steel flanges are currently 

classified under subheadings 

7307.91.5010 and 7307.91.5050 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). They may also 

be entered under HTSUS subheadings 

7307.91.5030 and 7307.91.5070. The 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes; the 

written description of the scope is 

dispositive. For a complete description 

of the scope of the Order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Export price is calculated in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Normal 

value is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying these preliminary results, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. A list of topics included 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as the 

appendix to this notice. 

Non-Individually Examined 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 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ We 

preliminarily calculated a margin for 

ULMA that was not zero, de minimis, or 

based on facts available. Accordingly, 

we have preliminarily applied the 

margin calculated for ULMA to the nonindividually examined respondents. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period June 1, 

2020, through May 31, 2021:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

to the parties within five days after 

public announcement of the preliminary 

results in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). Interested parties may 

submit case briefs no later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of these 

preliminary results of review.7 Rebuttal 

briefs may be filed no later than seven 

days after case briefs are due and may 

respond only to arguments raised in the 

case briefs.8 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.9

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.10

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 via 

ACCESS. An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by Commerce’s electronic 

records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.11

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. 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rate 

Upon issuance of 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.12 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. The final 

results of this administrative review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise under review and for 

future deposits of estimated duties, 

where applicable. 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). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where an examined respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rate based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

U.S. sales for a given importer to the 

total entered value of those sales. Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by ULMA for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.13

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

for estimated antidumping duties will 

be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of this review for 

all shipments of flanges from Spain 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit 

rate for the companies under review 

will be the rate established in the final 

results of the review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit 

will be required); (2) for merchandise 

exported by producers or exporters not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the producer of the 

merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate 

for all other producers or exporters will 

continue to be 18.81 percent,14 the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation. These cash 

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 this POR. 

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. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance

Final Results of the First Expedited 

Sunset Review of the Antidumping 

Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this first 

expedited sunset review, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

finds that revoking the antidumping 

duty (AD) order on 1,1,1,2- 

Tetrafluoroethane (R–134a) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping at the level 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of First 

Sunset Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable July 7, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 1, 2022, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

first sunset review of the AD order on 

R–134a from China,1 pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act).2 Commerce received 

a notice of intent to participate from the 

American HFC Coalition and its 

individual members (i.e., Arkema Inc., 

The Chemours Company FC LLC, 

Honeywell International Inc., and 

Mexichem Fluor Inc (collectively, the 

domestic interested party), within the 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic 

interested party claimed interested party 

status under section 771(9)(C) of the 

Act, as a coalition of domestic 

manufacturers and producers of R–134a 

in the United States. 

Commerce received a substantive 

response from the domestic interested 

party within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).4

We received no substantive response 

from any other interested parties in this 

proceeding. As a result, pursuant to 

section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the Order. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, R–134a, or 

its chemical equivalent, regardless of 

form, type, or purity level. The chemical 

formula for 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane is 

CF3–CH2 F, and the Chemical Abstracts 

Service (CAS) registry number is CAS 

811–97–2.5

Merchandise subject to the order is 

currently classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) at subheading 2903.45.1000. 

Although the HTSUS subheading and 

CAS registry number are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope is 

dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this sunset review 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.6 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 the 

topics discussed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included as 

the appendix to this notice. In addition, 

a complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c) of the Act, Commerce determines 

that revocation of the Order would be 

likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and that the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

likely to prevail is up to 167.02 percent. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 

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 which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing the 

final results and this notice in 

accordance with sections 751(c), 752(c), 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(5)(ii).
