SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), on April 10, 2014,
the Department published the final
determination of sales at less than fair
value in the antidumping duty
investigation of certain nickel-plated,
flat-rolled steel from Japan.1 On May 21,
2014, the ITC notified the Department of
its affirmative determination, pursuant
to section 735(b) of the Act, that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of lessthan-fair-value imports from Japan of
certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel.2
Pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act,
the Department is publishing an
antidumping duty order on the subject
merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated
flat-rolled steel products included in
this order are flat-rolled, cold-reduced
steel products, regardless of chemistry;
whether or not in coils; either plated or
coated with nickel or nickel-based
alloys and subsequently annealed (i.e.,
‘‘diffusion-annealed’’); whether or not
painted, varnished or coated with
plastics or other metallic or nonmetallic
substances; and less than or equal to 2.0
mm in nominal thickness. For purposes
of this order, ‘‘nickel-based alloys’’
include all nickel alloys with other
metals in which nickel accounts for at
least 80 percent of the alloy by volume.
Imports of merchandise included in
the scope of this order are classified
primarily under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 7212.50.0000 and
7210.90.6000, but may also be classified
under HTSUS subheadings

subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Order
As stated above, on May 21, 2014, in
accordance with section 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified the Department of
its final determination in this
investigation, in which it found material
injury with respect to certain nickelplated, flat-rolled steel from Japan.
Because the ITC determined that
imports of certain nickel-plated, flatrolled steel from Japan are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, all
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Japan, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel
from Japan. These antidumping duties
will be assessed on unliquidated entries
of certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel
from Japan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
November 19, 2013, the date on which
the Department published its
Preliminary Determination,3 but will
not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination as
further described below.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation
on all entries of certain nickel-plated,
flat-rolled steel from Japan. We will also
instruct CBP to require cash deposits
equal to the amounts by which the
normal value exceeds the U.S. price as
indicated below. These instructions

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and

suspending liquidation will remain in
effect until further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
this subject merchandise, a cash deposit
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margins listed below. See section
736(a)(3) of the Act.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of an exporter
that accounts for a significant
proportion of certain nickel-plated, flatrolled steel from Japan, we extended the
four-month period to no more than six
months.4 In the underlying
investigation, the Department published
the Preliminary Determination on
November 19, 2013.5 Therefore, the sixmonth period beginning on the date of
the publication of the Preliminary
Determination will end on May 17,
2014. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the
Act states that definitive duties are to
begin on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of certain nickel-plated, flatrolled steel from Japan entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption after May 17, 2014, the
date provisional measures expired, until
and through the day preceding the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation will resume
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final injury determination in the
Federal Register.

margins are as follows:

Scope of the Investigation
The product subject to this
investigation is 1,1,1,2Tetrafluoroethane, 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, 1,1,1,2tetrafluoroethane 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.
Methodology
The Department conducted this
investigation in accordance with section
731 of the Act. We calculated export
prices and constructed export prices in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Because the PRC is a non-market
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 hereby adopted
by this notice.1 The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s

Determination for the Antidumping Duty
Investigation of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane from the

In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), on April 10, 2014, the Department

Scope of the Order
The diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products
included in this order are flat-rolled, cold-reduced steel products,
regardless of chemistry; whether or not in coils; either plated or
coated with nickel or nickel-based alloys and subsequently annealed
(i.e., ``diffusion-annealed''); whether or not painted, varnished or

less than or equal to 2.0 mm in nominal thickness. For purposes of this
order, ``nickel-based alloys'' include all nickel alloys with other
metals in which nickel accounts for at least 80 percent of the alloy by
volume.
Imports of merchandise included in the scope of this order are
classified primarily under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) subheadings 7212.50.0000 and 7210.90.6000, but may also

HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Order
As stated above, on May 21, 2014, in accordance with section 735(d)
of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its final determination
in this investigation, in which it found material injury with respect
to certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel from Japan. Because the ITC
determined that imports of certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel
from Japan are materially injuring a U.S. industry, all unliquidated
entries of such merchandise from Japan, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the
Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of certain nickel-plated, flat-
rolled steel from Japan. These antidumping duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel from
Japan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
November 19, 2013, the date on which the Department published its
Preliminary Determination,\3\ but will not include entries occurring
after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before
publication of the ITC's final injury determination as further
described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Diffusion-Annealed, Nickel-Plated Flat-Rolled Steel
Products From Japan: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 78 FR 69371
(November 19, 2013) (Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all entries of
certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel from Japan. We will also
instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the amounts by which the
normal value exceeds the U.S. price as indicated below. These
instructions
[[Page 30817]]
suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's
final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same
time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this
subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the weighted-average
dumping margins listed below. See section 736(a)(3) of the Act.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of an exporter that accounts for a significant
proportion of certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel from Japan, we
extended the four-month period to no more than six months.\4\ In the
underlying investigation, the Department published the Preliminary
Determination on November 19, 2013.\5\ Therefore, the six-month period
beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary
Determination will end on May 17, 2014. Furthermore, section 737(b) of
the Act states that definitive duties are to begin on the date of
publication of the ITC's final injury determination.

Corporation (Petitioner) to the Department, dated October 29, 2013.
\5\ See Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel from
Japan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May
17, 2014, the date provisional measures expired, until and through the
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will
resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
