SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 29, 2014, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published its 

Preliminary Determination 1 and 

postponement of the final determination 

in the LTFV investigation of 

tetrafluoroethane from the PRC and on 

July 1, 2014, we published an Amended 

Preliminary Determination.2 We invited 

interested parties to comment on our 

Preliminary Determination of sales at 

LTFV and Amended Preliminary 

Determination. For a list of the parties 

that filed case and rebuttal briefs, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum.3

On September 30, 2014, the Department 

held a public hearing limited to issues 

raised in case and rebuttal briefs. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is 

April 1, 2013, through September 30, 

2013. This period corresponds to the 

two most recent fiscal quarters prior to 

the month of the filing of the petition, 

which was October 2013.4

Scope of the Investigation 

The product subject to this 

investigation 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-CH2F, and the Chemical Abstracts 

Service (‘‘CAS’’) registry number is CAS 

811–97–2. 

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane is sold 

under a number of trade names 

including Klea 134a and Zephex 134a 

(Mexichem Fluor); Genetron 134a 

(Honeywell); Suva 134a, Dymel 134a, 

and Dymel P134a (DuPont); Solkane 

134a (Solvay); and Forane 134a 

(Arkema). Generically, 1,1,1,2- 

tetrafluoroethane has been sold as 

Fluorocarbon 134a, R–134a, HFC–134a, 

HF A–134a, Refrigerant 134a, and 

UN3159. 

Merchandise covered by the scope of 

this investigation is currently classified 

in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) at 

subheading 2903.39.2020. Although the 

HTSUS subheading and CAS registry 

number are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope is dispositive. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, between June 4 and June 20, 2014, 

the Department verified the information 

submitted by Weitron International 

Refrigeration Equipment (Kunshan) Co., 

Ltd. (‘‘Weitron Kunshan’’) and Jiangsu 

Bluestar Green Technology Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Bluestar’’) for use in the final 

determination.5 We issued our 

verification reports on July 21, 2014, 

and July 23, 2014.6 The Department 

used standard verification procedures, 

including examination of relevant 

accounting and production records and 

original source documents provided by 

respondents.7

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all issues raised by 

parties in case and rebuttal briefs in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.8 The 

Appendix to this notice includes a list 

of the issues which the parties raised 

and to which the Department responded 

in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on the Department’s analysis of 

the comments received and our findings 

at verification, we made certain changes 

to Bluestar’s margin calculations. 

Additionally, we determined that 

Weitron Kunshan was not an exporter of 

subject merchandise during the POI. 

Accordingly, we have not calculated a 

dumping margin based on the data 

reported by Weitron Kushan. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

We determine that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

Bluestar, non-individually examined 

companies, and the PRC-wide entity.9

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,10 the 

Department stated that it would 

calculate combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. Policy 

Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice.11

Final Determination

antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) margin

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to parties the 

calculations performed in this 

proceeding within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, the Department 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to continue to 

retroactively suspend liquidation of all 

appropriate entries of tetrafluoroethane 

from the PRC as described in the ‘‘Scope 

of the Investigation’’ section, which 

were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date which is 90 days before the 

date on which the suspension of 

liquidation was first ordered (i.e., May 

29, 2014, the date of publication in the 

Federal Register of the notice of an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

that tetrafluoroethane is being, or is 

likely to be, sold in the United States at 

LTFV). Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.205(d), the Department will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit 14 equal to 

the weighted-average amount by which 

the normal value exceeds U.S. price, 

adjusted where appropriate for export 

subsidies and estimated domestic 

subsidy pass-through, as follows: (1) For 

the exporter/producer combination 

listed in the table above, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

dumping margin which the Department 

determined in this final determination; 

(2) for all combinations of PRC 

exporters/producers of merchandise 

under consideration which have not 

received their own separate rate above, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

dumping margin 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 cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the cash 

deposit rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter/producer combination that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 

suspension-of-liquidation instructions 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

We did not adjust the final 

determination AD margins for export 

subsidies because the Department found 

no evidence of export subsidies in the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 202 / Monday, October 20, 2014 / Notices 62599 

companion countervailing duty 

proceeding. Additionally, the 

Department did not adjust the final 

determination AD margins for estimated 

domestic subsidy pass-through because 

respondents provided no information to 

support an adjustment pursuant to 

section 777A(f) of the Act. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we notified the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. As the Department’s final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will determine, within 45 

days, whether the domestic industry in 

the United States is materially injured, 

or threatened with material injury, by 

reason of imports of tetrafluoroethane 

from the PRC, or sales (or the likelihood 

of sales) for importation, of 

tetrafluoroethane from the PRC. If the 

ITC determines that such injury does 

not exist, this proceeding with be 

terminated and all securities posted will 

be refunded or canceled. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

the Department, antidumping duties on 

all imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to the parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of propriety information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 

notification of 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 sanctionable 

violation, 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
