Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this review, 

including the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of dumping in the event 

of revocation and the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail if the order 

were revoked, are addressed in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, which is hereby adopted 

by 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 http://access.trade.gov, and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit,

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

Issues and Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 

determine that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on LPTs from 

Korea would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and that the magnitude of the dumping 

margins likely to prevail would be 

weighted-average dumping margins up 

to 29.04 percent. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

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 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department published the 

antidumping duty order on diamond 

sawblades and parts thereof from the 

People’s Republic of China on 

November 4, 2009.1 In its September 20, 

2017, request for a changed 

circumstances review, Chengdu Huifeng 

New Material Technology Co., Ltd., 

informed the Department that, effective 

August 16, 2016, Chengdu Huifeng 

Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. (1) changed its 

legal status from a limited liability 

company to a joint-stock limited 

company and (2) changed its name to 

Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd.2 Chengdu Huifeng 

Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., is a 

respondent in the ongoing 

administrative review of the same order 

covering the period November 1, 2015, 

through October 31, 2016.3 Pursuant to 

section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.216(c) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), 

Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd. requested that the 

Department initiate an expedited 

changed circumstances review and 

determine that Chengdu Huifeng New 

Material Technology Co., Ltd. is the 

successor-in-interest to Chengdu 

Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.

The products covered by the order are 

all finished circular sawblades, whether 

slotted or not, with a working part that 

is comprised of a diamond segment or 

segments, and parts thereof, regardless 

of specification or size, except as 

specifically excluded below. Within the 

scope of the order are semifinished 

diamond sawblades, including diamond 

sawblade cores and diamond sawblade 

segments. Diamond sawblade cores are 

circular steel plates, whether or not 

attached to non-steel plates, with slots. 

Diamond sawblade cores are 

manufactured principally, but not 

exclusively, from alloy steel. A diamond 

sawblade segment consists of a mixture 

of diamonds (whether natural or

of diamonds) and metal powders 

(including, but not limited to, iron, 

cobalt, nickel, tungsten carbide) that are 

formed together into a solid shape (from 

generally, but not limited to, a heating 

and pressing process). 

Sawblades with diamonds directly 

attached to the core with a resin or 

electroplated bond, which thereby do 

not contain a diamond segment, are not 

included within the scope of the order. 

Diamond sawblades and/or sawblade 

cores with a thickness of less than 0.025 

inches, or with a thickness greater than 

1.1 inches, are excluded from the scope 

of the order. Circular steel plates that 

have a cutting edge of non-diamond 

material, such as external teeth that 

protrude from the outer diameter of the 

plate, whether or not finished, are 

excluded from the scope of the order. 

Diamond sawblade cores with a 

Rockwell C hardness of less than 25 are 

excluded from the scope of the order. 

Diamond sawblades and/or diamond 

segment(s) with diamonds that 

predominantly have a mesh size number 

greater than 240 (such as 250 or 260) are 

excluded from the scope of the order. 

Merchandise subject to the order is 

typically imported under heading 

8202.39.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

When packaged together as a set for 

retail sale with an item that is separately 

classified under headings 8202 to 8205 

of the HTSUS, diamond sawblades or 

parts thereof may be imported under 

heading 8206.00.00.00 of the HTSUS. 

On October 11, 2011, the Department 

included the 6804.21.00.00 HTSUS 

classification number to the customs 

case reference file, pursuant to a request 

by U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP).4 The tariff classification is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes; however, the written 

description of the scope of the order is 

dispositive. 

Initiation of Changed Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), the 

Department will conduct a changed 

circumstances review upon receipt of a 

request from an interested party or 

receipt of information concerning an 

antidumping duty order which shows 

changed circumstances sufficient to 

warrant a review of the order. In the 

past, the Department has used changed 

circumstances reviews to address the 

applicability of cash deposit rates after 

there have been changes in the name or 

structure of a respondent, such as a 

merger or spinoff (‘‘successor-ininterest,’’ or ‘‘successorship,’’ 

determinations).5 Based on the request 

from Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd., and in accordance 

with section 751(b)(1) of Act and 19 

CFR 351.216(b), we are initiating a 

changed circumstances review to 

determine whether Chengdu Huifeng 

New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is 

the successor-in-interest to Chengdu 

Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. for 

purposes of antidumping duty liability. 

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

If we conclude that an expedited 

action is warranted, we may combine 

the notices of initiation and preliminary 

results of a changed circumstances 

review under 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). 

The Department has combined the 

notice of initiation and preliminary 

results in successor-in-interest cases 

when sufficient documentation has been 

provided supporting the request to make 

a preliminary determination.6 In this 

instance, we have on the record the 

information necessary to make a 

preliminary finding. Thus, we find that 

expedited action is warranted and have 

combined the notices of initiation and 

preliminary results pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(ii). 

In making a successor-in-interest 

determination for purposes of 

antidumping duty liability, the 

Department examines several factors 

including, but not limited to, changes in 

management, production facilities, 

supplier relationships, and customer 

base.7 While no single factor or 

combination of these factors will 

necessarily provide a dispositive 

indication of a successor-in-interest 

relationship, the Department will 

generally consider the new company to 

be the successor to the previous 

company if the new company’s 

operations are not materially dissimilar 

to those of its predecessor.8 Thus, if the 

evidence demonstrates that, with 

respect to the production and sales of 

the subject merchandise, the new 

company operates as essentially the 

same business entity as the former 

company, the Department will accord 

the new company the same 

antidumping treatment as its 

predecessor.9

In its CCR Request and Supplemental 

Response,10 Chengdu Huifeng New 

Material Technology Co., Ltd. has 

provided evidence for us to 

preliminarily determine that it is the 

successor-in-interest to Chengdu 

Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. 

Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd. states that its 

management, production facilities, and 

customer/supplier relationships have 

not changed as a result of changes to the 

legal status and name of the company.11

Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd., provided 

documents showing changes to the legal 

status and name of the company.12

Further, Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd., provided 

documents demonstrating that its 

production facilities and their location 

and domestic and overseas customers 

and suppliers were the same before and 

after the changes to the company’s legal 

status and name.13 Chengdu Huifeng 

New Material Technology Co., Ltd. also 

provided a list of members of the 

management team and supporting 

documentation indicating that Chengdu 

Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.’s 

managers hold the same positions in 

Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd., as well as 

documentation showing nominal 

changes to the members of the board of 

directors made as a result of internal

shifts among existing management and 

board members.14

Based on record evidence, we 

preliminarily determine that Chengdu 

Huifeng New Material Technology Co., 

Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to 

Chengdu Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., 

Ltd. for purposes of antidumping duty 

liability because the changes to the legal 

status and name of the company 

resulted in no significant changes to 

management, production facilities, 

supplier relationships, or customers. As 

a result, we preliminarily determine that 

Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd. operates as 

essentially the same business entity as 

Chengdu Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., 

Ltd. Thus, we preliminarily determine 

that Chengdu Huifeng New Material 

Technology Co., Ltd. should receive the 

same antidumping duty cash deposit 

rate with respect to the subject 

merchandise as Chengdu Huifeng 

Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., its predecessor 

company. 

If these preliminary results are 

adopted in our final results of this 

changed circumstances review, effective 

on the publication date of our final 

results, we will instruct CBP to suspend 

liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise exported by Chengdu 

Huifeng New Material Technology Co., 

Ltd. at Chengdu Huifeng Diamond Tools 

Co., Ltd.’s cash deposit rate.
