SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 19, 2021, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) initiated a 

countervailing duty (CVD) investigation 

of imports of certain walk-behind snow 

throwers and parts thereof (snow 

throwers) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China).1 Currently, the 

preliminary determination is due no 

later than June 23, 2021. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which Commerce initiated the 

investigation. However, section 

703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce 

to postpone the preliminary 

determination until no later than 130 

days after the date on which Commerce 

initiated the investigation if: (A) The 

petitioner 2 makes a timely request for a 

postponement; or (B) Commerce 

concludes that the parties concerned are 

cooperating, that the investigation is 

extraordinarily complicated, and that 

additional time is necessary to make a 

preliminary determination. Under 19 

CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must 

submit a request for postponement 25 

days or more before the scheduled date 

of the preliminary determination and 

must state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On May 28, 2021, the petitioner 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

CVD determination.3 The petitioner 

stated that it requests postponement 

‘‘{t}o permit a thorough investigation 

and the calculation of the most accurate 

countervailing rates.’’ 4

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the 

reasons for requesting a postponement 

of the preliminary determination, and 

Commerce finds no compelling reason 

to deny the request. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, Commerce is postponing the 

deadline for the preliminary 

determination to no later than 130 days 

after the date on which this 

investigation was initiated, i.e., August 

27, 2021. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 

deadline for the final determination of 

this investigation will continue to be 75 

days after the date of the preliminary 

determination. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

On April 24, 2020, Commerce 

exercised its discretion to toll all 

deadlines in administrative reviews by 

50 days.3 On July 21, 2020, Commerce 

tolled all deadlines in preliminary and

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this administrative review by 120 days, 

until June 1, 2021.5 For a complete 

description of the events between the 

initiation of this review and these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the 

antidumping order are pipes and tubes 

from Thailand. For a full description of 

the scope of this order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.7

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 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 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached in the 

appendix 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 http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, the signed 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Commerce selected Blue Pipe as a 

mandatory respondent because it and 

Saha Thai accounted for the largest 

volume of subject merchandise during 

the POR. Blue Pipe reported that its 

supplier, Saha Thai, had knowledge of 

the final destination of the subject 

merchandise that they produced and 

sold to Blue Pipe, and which Blue Pipe 

resold to U.S. customers during the 

POR, which Saha Thai confirmed in its 

responses.8 Blue Pipe and Saha Thai 

provided sales documentation as 

evidence in support of their claim.9

Because the evidence on the record 

demonstrates that Saha Thai had 

knowledge that the final destination of 

the subject merchandise was to 

customers in the United States, we 

preliminarily determine that Blue Pipe 

had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. We intend 

to instruct CBP at the final results to 

liquidate any existing entries of 

merchandise produced by Saha Thai 

and entered into the United States as 

having been exported by Blue Pipe at 

the rate applicable to Saha Thai.10

Based on an analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) 

information, and comments provided by 

interested parties regarding the CBP 

data, Commerce preliminarily 

determines that K-Line had no 

shipments during the POR. For 

additional information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a weighted-average 

dumping margin to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the weighted-average 

dumping margin for companies which 

were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. 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 weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.5 percent) or determined entirely 

on the basis of facts available.

16See 19 CFR 351.303(f). 

17See Temporary Rule. 

Consistent with section 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act, we determined the weightedaverage dumping margin for each of the 

non-selected companies by using the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for Saha Thai in this 

administrative review. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine and CBP shall assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. If an examined respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis in the final 

results of this review, we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for an importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of such 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). For non-examined 

respondents, Commerce shall direct 

CBP to assess antidumping duties at an 

ad valorem rate equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping 

margin determined in the final results of 

this review. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), 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. 

Commerce clarified its ‘‘automatic 

assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 

2003.11 This clarification applies to 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Saha Thai for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States. In 

such instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. 

We intend 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 for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided for 

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

The cash deposit rate for the companies 

under review will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if that rate is de 

minimis, then the cash deposit rate will 

be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed in the 

final results of this review, including 

those for which Commerce may 

determine had no shipments during the 

POR, the cash deposit rate will continue 

to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review or another completed 

segment of this proceeding, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) if neither the 

exporter nor the producer is a firm 

covered in this or any previously 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

all-others rate of 15.67 percent that was 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.12 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days after public 

announcement of the preliminary 

results in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). Interested parties may 

submit case briefs not later than the date 

which Commerce will announce 

subsequent to this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed not later than 

seven days after the date for filing case 

briefs.13 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.14 Case and 

rebuttal briefs should be filed using 

ACCESS 15 and must be served on 

interested parties.16 Executive 

summaries should be limited to five 

pages total, including footnotes. 

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 Commerce’s electronic 

records system, 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 by each party in their respective 

case brief. 

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.17 An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety in ACCESS by 5 p.m. 

Eastern Time within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

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

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 

review period. 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 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 

351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Title III of the Export Trading 

Company Act (hereinafter ‘‘the Act’’) of 

1982 (Pub. L. 97–290, 15 U.S.C. 4001 et 

seq.), authorizes the Secretary of 

Commerce to issue, with the 

concurrence of the Attorney General, an 

Export Trade Certificate of Review to 

any person that establishes that its 

proposed export trade, export trade 

activities, and methods of operation 

meet the four standards found in 

Section 303(a) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 4001 

et seq. An Export Trade Certificate of 

Review provides the certificate holder 

and its members with limited antitrust 

immunity for specified export-related 

activities. Application for an Export 

Trade Certificate of Review is voluntary. 

The information to be collected is found 

at 15 CFR part 325.3—Export Trade 

Certificates of Review. The collection of 

information is necessary for both the 

Departments of Commerce and Justice to 

conduct an analysis, in order to 

determine whether the applicant and its 

members are eligible to receive the 

protection of an Export Trade Certificate 

of Review and whether the applicant’s 

proposed export-related conduct meets 

the standards in Section 303(a) of the 

Act. The collection of information 

constitutes the essential basis of the 

statutory determinations to be made by 

the Secretary of Commerce and the 

Attorney General. 

The Department of Commerce 

conducts its economic and legal 

analysis of the information supplied by 

applicants through the Office of Trade 

and Economic Analysis and the Office 

of the General Counsel. In the 

Department of Justice, analysis is 

conducted by the Antitrust Division. 

Title III was enacted to reduce 

uncertainty regarding the application of 

U.S. antitrust laws to export activities. 

An Export Trade Certificate of Review 

provides its holder and members named 

in the Certificate with (a) protection 

from government actions under state 

and federal antitrust laws for the export 

conduct specified in the Certificate, and 

(b) certain protection from private suits, 

by limiting liability in private actions to 

actual damages when the challenged 

activities are covered by an Export 

Trade Certificate of Review. 

II. Method of Collection 

The form is sent by request to U.S. 

firms.
