VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:13 Feb 19, 2013 Jkt 229001 Reimbursement of Duties On December 6, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof (diamond sawblades) from the Republic of Korea (Korea). The period of review (POR) is January 23, 2009, through October 31, 2010. For the final results, we continue to find that the companies covered by the review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value. DATES: Effective Date: February 20, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sergio Balbontin or Yasmin Nair, AD/ CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482–6478 and (202) 482–3813, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: February 5, 2013. Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

We did not receive rebuttal briefs. We did not receive a request for a hearing. On April, 5 2012, the Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition (Petitioner) alleged that the Korean respondents Ehwa Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. (Ehwa) and Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. and SH Trading, Inc. (collectively, Shinhan), and their respective Chinese subsidiaries Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd., and Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., sold diamond sawblades into the United States bearing false country of origin designations. On April 29, 2012, Hyosung Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., Western Diamond Tools Inc., and Hyosung D&P Co., Ltd. (collectively, ‘‘Hyosung’’) formally withdrew its participation in the administrative review.

Fraud Allegations We continue to find the information Ehwa and Shinhan submitted in this review to be reliable for the final results of review. See Final Decision Memorandum for more details. Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the order is diamond sawblades. The diamond sawblades subject to the order are currently classifiable under subheadings 8202 to 8206 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), and may also enter under 6804.21.00. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes. A full description of the scope of the order is contained in the Final Decision Memorandum. The written description is dispositive. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case briefs are addressed in the Final Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as Appendix I. The Final Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Import Administration’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). Access to IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// iaaccess.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Final Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at https://www.trade.gov/ ia/. The signed Final Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Final Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of the comments received, we changed our calculation methodology for Ehwa’s and Shinhan’s dumping margins. We modified the model-match methodology to ensure only products with the same physical form matched. For Ehwa, we corrected a currency conversion for an expense reported by the company, we recalculated the costs of certain control numbers, and we added sales to Ehwa’s U.S. sales database. For Shinhan, we removed certain Chinese-origin sales in the home market database and applied a revised cost of production database.5 11819 Use of Adverse Facts Available Consistent with the Preliminary Results, we determine that Hyosung’s failure to provide requested information necessary to calculate accurate dumping margins warrants the use of facts otherwise available with an adverse inference. Consequent to the changes from the Preliminary Results, as detailed above, the final margin for Hyosung is 120.90 percent.6 Cost of Production As discussed in the Preliminary Results, we conducted an investigation to determine whether Ehwa and Shinhan made home market sales of the foreign like product during the POR at prices below their costs of production within the meaning of section 773(b) of the Act. For these final results, we performed the cost test following the same methodology as discussed in the Preliminary Results. In accordance with sections 773(b)(1) and (2) of the Act, we disregarded certain of Ehwa’s and Shinhan’s sales in the home market that were made at below-cost prices. Final Results of the Review As a result of the administrative review, we determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period January 23, 2009, through October 31, 2010: Margin (percent) Exporter/manufacturer Ehwa Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................................... Hyosung Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd, Western Diamond Tools Inc., and Hyosung D&P Co., Ltd ........................................................... Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. and SH Trading, Inc ........................................................................................................................ 11.90 120.90 3.76 The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). On October 24, 2011, the U.S. Court of International Trade preliminarily enjoined liquidation of entries that are subject to the final determination.7 Accordingly, the Department will not instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties pending resolution of the associated litigation. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for all sales made by the respondents for which they have reported the importer of record and the entered value of the U.S. sales, we have calculated importerspecific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of those sales. Where the respondent did not report the entered value for U.S. sales to an importer, we have calculated importerspecific assessment rates for the merchandise in question by aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each importer and dividing this amount by the total quantity of those sales. 3 See Memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, entitled ‘‘Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China: Deferral of the Final Results of the First Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews’’ dated June 4, 2012. 4 See Memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, entitled ‘‘2009/2010 Review of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China: Post-Preliminary Analysis’’ dated January 8, 2013.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which the assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent). The Department clarified its ‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003.8 This clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Ehwa and Shinhan for which these companies did not know that their 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 involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this clarification, see Assessment Policy Notice. Cash Deposit Requirements Effective October 24, 2011, the Department revoked the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from Korea, pursuant to a proceeding under section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act to implement the findings of the World Trade Organization dispute settlement panel in United States—Use of Zeroing in Anti-Dumping Measures Involving Products from Korea (WTIDS402/R) (January 18, 2011).9 Consequently, no cash deposits are required on imports of subject merchandise. Notification to Interested Parties This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).

Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 2009-2010

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On December 6, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts 
thereof (diamond sawblades) from the Republic of Korea (Korea). The 
period of review (POR) is January 23, 2009, through October 31, 2010. 
For the final results, we continue to find that the companies covered 
by the review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal 
value.


DATES: Effective Date: February 20, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 6, 2011, the Department published the preliminary 
results of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
diamond sawblades from Korea.\1\ On January 5, 2012, we received case 
briefs with respect to the Preliminary Results from Ehwa and Shinhan. 
We did not receive rebuttal briefs. We did not receive a request for a 
hearing.

    \1\ See Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof From the Republic of 
Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 76 FR 76128 (December 6, 2011) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April, 5 2012, the Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition 
(Petitioner) alleged that the Korean respondents Ehwa Diamond 
Industrial Co., Ltd. (Ehwa) and Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. 
and SH Trading, Inc. (collectively, Shinhan), and their respective 
Chinese subsidiaries Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd., 
and Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., sold diamond 
sawblades into the United States bearing false country of origin 
designations.
    On April 29, 2012, Hyosung Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., Western 
Diamond Tools Inc., and Hyosung D&P Co., Ltd. (collectively, 
``Hyosung'') formally withdrew its participation in the administrative 
review.
    We extended the due date for the final results of review to June 4, 
2012.\2\ On June 4, 2012, the Department deferred

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 8, 2013, we issued a post-preliminary memorandum finding 
that the information submitted by Ehwa and Shinhan is reliable for the 
final results of the review.\4\ We have conducted this administrative 
review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).

Administrative Review of Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from 
the Republic of Korea,'' dated February 8, 2013 (Final Decision 
Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this notice, at Comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fraud Allegations

    We continue to find the information Ehwa and Shinhan submitted in 
this review to be reliable for the final results of review. See Final 
Decision Memorandum for more details.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is diamond sawblades. The 
diamond sawblades subject to the order are currently classifiable under 
subheadings 8202 to 8206 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (HTSUS), and may also enter under 6804.21.00. The HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes. A full 
description of the scope of the order is contained in the Final 
Decision Memorandum. The written description is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case briefs are addressed in the Final 
Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this 
notice as Appendix I. The Final Decision Memorandum is a public 
document and is on file electronically via Import Administration's 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service 
System (IA ACCESS). Access to IA ACCESS is available to registered 
users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and is available to all parties in 
the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce 
building. In addition, a complete version of the Final Decision 
Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed Final Decision Memorandum and the 
electronic versions of the Final Decision Memorandum are identical in 
content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received, we changed our 
calculation methodology for Ehwa's and Shinhan's dumping margins. We 
modified the model-match methodology to ensure only products with the 
same physical form matched. For Ehwa, we corrected a currency 
conversion for an expense reported by the company, we recalculated the 
costs of certain control numbers, and we added sales to Ehwa's U.S. 
sales database. For Shinhan, we removed certain Chinese-origin sales in 
the home market database and applied a revised cost of production 
database.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Final Decision Memorandum, and Department Memoranda, 
``Final Results Calculation for Ehwa Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd.,'' 
and ``Final Results Calculation for Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., 
Ltd.,'' dated February 8, 2013, for changes specific to the dumping 
margin calculations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use of Adverse Facts Available

    Consistent with the Preliminary Results, we determine that 
Hyosung's failure to provide requested information necessary to 
calculate accurate dumping margins warrants the use of facts otherwise 
available with an adverse inference. Consequent to the changes from the 
Preliminary Results, as detailed above, the final margin for Hyosung is 
120.90 percent.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For further discussion, see Department Memorandum, ``Final 
Adverse Facts Available Rate for Hyosung,'' dated February 8, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost of Production

    As discussed in the Preliminary Results, we conducted an 
investigation to determine whether Ehwa and Shinhan made home market 
sales of the foreign like product during the POR at prices below their 
costs of production within the meaning of section 773(b) of the Act. 
For these final results, we performed the cost test following the same 
methodology as discussed in the Preliminary Results. In accordance with 
sections 773(b)(1) and (2) of the Act, we disregarded certain of Ehwa's 
and Shinhan's sales in the home market that were made at below-cost 
prices.

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of the administrative review, we determine that the 
following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period January 
23, 2009, through October 31, 2010:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 Margin

 Inc., and Hyosung D&P Co., Ltd..............................
Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. and SH Trading, Inc.....       3.76
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) will assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). On October 24, 2011, 
the U.S. Court of International Trade preliminarily enjoined 
liquidation of entries that are subject to the final determination.\7\ 
Accordingly, the Department will not instruct CBP to assess antidumping 
duties pending resolution of the associated litigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value and Final Determination of Critical Circumstances: Diamond 
Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the Republic of Korea, 71 FR 29310 
(May 22, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for all sales made by the 
respondents for which they have reported the importer of record and the 
entered value of the U.S. sales, we have calculated importer-specific 
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping 
duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
those sales. Where the respondent did not report the entered value for 
U.S. sales to an importer, we have calculated importer-specific 
assessment rates for the merchandise in question by aggregating the 
dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each importer and

    To determine whether the duty assessment rates were de minimis, in 
accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), the 
Department calculated importer-specific ad valorem ratios based on the 
entered value or the estimated entered value, when entered value was 
not reported. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which 
the assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent).
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003.\8\ This clarification will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by Ehwa and Shinhan for which these 
companies did not know that their merchandise was destined for the 
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this 
clarification, see Assessment Policy Notice.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Effective October 24, 2011, the Department revoked the antidumping 
duty order on diamond sawblades from Korea, pursuant to a proceeding 
under section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act to implement the 
findings of the World Trade Organization dispute settlement panel in 
United States--Use of Zeroing in Anti-Dumping Measures Involving 
Products from Korea (WTIDS402/R) (January 18, 2011).\9\ Consequently, 
no cash deposits are required on imports of subject merchandise.
