Postponement of Final Determination
and Extension of Provisional Measures
Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides
that a final determination may be
postponed until not later than 135 days
after the date of the publication of the
preliminary determination if, in the
event of an affirmative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by exporters who
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by Petitioners. 19
CFR 351.210(e)(2) requires that requests
by respondents for postponement of a
final antidumping determination be
accompanied by a request for extension
of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period not more than
six months in duration.
On September 29, 2016, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.210(b) and (e), Sanmei
requested that, contingent upon an
affirmative preliminary determination of
sales at LTFV for the respondents, the
Department postpone the final
determination and that provisional
measures be extended to a period not to
exceed six months.11
In accordance with section
735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because (1) our
preliminary determination is
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter
accounts for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise; and
(3) no compelling reasons for denial
exist, we are postponing the final
determination and extending the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period not greater than six
months. Accordingly, we will make our
final determination no later than 135
days after the date of publication of this
preliminary determination, pursuant to
section 735(a)(2) of the Act.12
11 See Letter from Sanmei, ‘‘1,1,1,2Tetrafluoroethane (R134a) from the People’s
Republic of China: Request for Extension to
Supplemental Section C&D Response,’’ dated
September 29, 2016.

International Trade Commission
(‘‘ITC’’) Notification
In accordance with section 733(f) of
the Act, we notified the ITC of our
preliminary affirmative determination of
sales at LTFV. Section 735(b)(2) of the
Act requires the ITC to make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports of
R–134a, or sales (or the likelihood of
sales) for importation, of the
merchandise under consideration
within 45 days of our final
determination.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.205(c).
Dated: September 29, 2016.

Assistant Secretary, for Enforcement and
Compliance.
