SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department initiated this 

investigation on July 22, 2015.1 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this 

investigation, see the memorandum that 

is dated concurrently with this 

determination and hereby adopted by 

this notice.2 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, and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be found at 

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

signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are HFCs. For a full 

description of the scope of this 

investigation, see the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation,’’ in Appendix I of this 

notice. 

Scope Comments 

Certain interested parties commented 

on the scope of the investigation as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice. We 

have addressed some comments raised 

by interested parties but intend to 

address the rest of the comments at a 

later point in the investigation. For 

discussion of those comments, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. We calculated export 

prices in accordance with section 772 of 

the Act. Because the PRC is a nonmarket economy within the meaning of 

section 771(18) of the Act, normal value 

(NV) was calculated in accordance with 

section 773(c) of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Affirmative Determination 

of Critical Circumstances, in Part 

On November 30, 2015, the petitioner 

timely filed an amendment to the 

petition, pursuant to section 733(e)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(2)(i), 

alleging that critical circumstances exist 

with respect to imports of the 

merchandise under consideration.3 We

and location to be determined. Parties 

should confirm by telephone the date, 

time, and location of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, the Department will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to suspend liquidation of all 

entries of HFCs from the PRC, as 

described in Appendix I of this notice, 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

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. We 

preliminarily find that critical 

circumstances exist for imports of HFCs 

from the PRC produced or exported by 

the T.T. International Co., Ltd. and the 

PRC-wide entity. Accordingly, for T.T. 

International Co., Ltd. and the PRC-wide 

entity, in accordance with section 

733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, the suspension 

of liquidation shall apply to 

unliquidated entries of merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date 

which is 90 days before the publication 

of this notice. 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), the 

Department will instruct CBP to require 

a cash deposit 9 equal to the weightedaverage amount by which NV exceeds 

U.S. price, as indicated in the chart 

above, as follows: (1) The cash deposit 

rate for the exporter/producer 

combinations listed in the table above 

will be the rate the Department 

determines in this preliminary 

determination; (2) for all combinations 

of PRC exporters/producers of 

merchandise under consideration that 

have not received their own separate 

rate above, the cash-deposit rate will be 

the cash deposit rate established for the 

PRC-wide entity; and (3) for all non-PRC 

exporters of merchandise under 

consideration which have not received 

their own separate rate above, the cashdeposit rate will be the cash deposit rate 

applicable to the PRC exporter/producer 

combination that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. 

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 petitioner. 

19 CFR 351.210(e)(2) requires that 

requests by respondents for 

postponement of a final 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. 

Respondents Dongyue and T.T. 

International requested that, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination in this investigation, the 

Department postpone its final 

determination by 60 days (i.e., to 135 

days after publication of the preliminary 

determination), and agreed to extend the 

application of the provisional measures 

prescribed under section 733(d) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), from a 

four-month period to a period not to 

exceed six months.10 In addition, the 

petitioners 11 also requested that, in the 

event of a negative preliminary 

determination, the Department postpone 

its final determination to 135 days after 

the date of publication of the 

preliminary determination.12

In accordance with section 

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

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because (1) our 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, we are postponing the final 

determination until no later than 135 

days after the publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register and extending 

the provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period not greater 

than six months. Accordingly, we will 

issue our final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(a)(2) of the Act.13

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, we are notifying the ITC of our 

affirmative preliminary determination of 

sales at LTFV. Section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act requires the ITC to 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 

HFCs, or sales (or the likelihood of 

sales) for importation, of the 

merchandise under consideration before 

the later of 120 days after the date of this 

preliminary determination or 45 days 

after our final determination. Because 

we are postponing the deadline for our 

final determination to 135 days from the 

date of publication of this preliminary 

determination, as discussed above, the 

ITC will make its final determination no 

later than 45 days after our final 

determination. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: January 21, 2016.
