(202) 482–5760 and (202) 482–3683,
respectively.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is diamond sawblades and parts thereof.
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. While the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description is dispositive. A full
description of the scope of the order is
contained in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.1
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Five companies that received a
separate rate in previous segments of the
proceeding and are subject to this
review reported that they did not have
any exports of subject merchandise
during the POR.2 U.S. Customs and

Border Protection (CBP) data for the
POR indicated that these companies had
no shipments.3 Additionally, we
requested that CBP report any contrary
information.4 To date, CBP has not
responded to our inquiry with any
contrary information and we have not
received any evidence that these
companies had any shipments of the
subject merchandise sold to the United
States during the POR. Further,
consistent with our practice, we find
that it is not appropriate to rescind the
review with respect to these companies
but, rather, to complete the review and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP
based on the final results of review.5
Separate Rates
The Department preliminarily
determines that 24 respondents are
eligible to receive separate rates in this
review.6

PRC-Wide Entity
The Department’s change in policy
regarding conditional review of the
PRC-wide entity applies to this
administrative review.8 Under this
policy, the PRC-wide entity will not be
under review unless a party specifically
requests, or the Department selfinitiates, a review of the entity. Because
no party requested a review of the PRCwide entity in this review, the entity is
not under review and the entity’s rate is
not subject to change (i.e., 82.05
percent).9 Aside from the no-shipments
and separate rate companies discussed
above, and the company for which the
review is being rescinded, the
Department considers all other
companies for which a review was
requested (which did not file a separate
rate application) to be part of the PRCwide entity.10
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. For Bosun Tools
Co., Ltd., constructed export price was
calculated 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 was calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act. For the Jiangsu Fengtai Single
Entity,11 we assigned a margin based on
adverse facts available pursuant to
section 776(b) of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. The
Preliminary 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

Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of
review, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.17 If a respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of those
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Specifically, the
Department will apply the assessment
rate calculation method adopted in
Final Modification for Reviews.18 Where
an importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.19
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by
exporters individually examined during
this review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. In addition, if the
Department determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the companies
listed above that have separate rates, the
cash deposit rate will be that established
in the final results of review (except, if
the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero
cash deposit will be required); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all
PRC exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled
to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be that for the PRC-wide entity; and
(4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Department’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an

sawblades and parts thereof (diamond sawblades) from the People's
Republic of China (the PRC). The period of review (POR) is November 1,
2014, through October 31, 2015. The Department has preliminarily
determined that certain companies covered by this review made sales of
subject merchandise at less than normal value. Interested parties are
invited to comment on these preliminary results.

Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is diamond sawblades and parts
thereof. 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

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Five companies that received a separate rate in previous segments
of the proceeding and are subject to this review reported that they did
not have any exports of subject merchandise during the POR.\2\ U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for the POR indicated that
these companies had no shipments.\3\ Additionally, we requested that
CBP report any contrary information.\4\ To date, CBP has not responded
to our inquiry with any contrary information and we have not received
any evidence that these companies had any shipments of the subject
merchandise sold to the United States during the POR. Further,
consistent with our practice, we find that it is not appropriate to
rescind the review with respect to these companies but, rather, to
complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on
the final results of review.\5\

PRC-Wide Entity
The Department's change in policy regarding conditional review of
the PRC-wide entity applies to this administrative review.\8\ Under
this policy, the PRC-wide entity will not be under review unless a
party specifically requests, or the Department self-initiates, a review
of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the PRC-wide
entity in this review, the entity is not under review and the entity's
rate is not subject to change (i.e., 82.05 percent).\9\ Aside from the
no-shipments and separate rate companies discussed above, and the
company for which the review is being rescinded, the Department
considers all other companies for which a review was requested (which
did not file a separate rate application) to be part of the PRC-wide
entity.\10\

administrative review that are considered to be part of the PRC-wide
entity are ASHINE Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., Hebei XMF Tools Group
Co., Ltd., Henan Huanghe Whirlwind Co., Ltd., Henan Huanghe
Whirlwind International Co., Ltd., and Pujiang Talent Diamond Tools
Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. For Bosun Tools Co., Ltd., constructed export
price was calculated 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 was calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act. For the Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity,\11\ we
assigned a margin based on adverse facts available pursuant to section
776(b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ We preliminarily treat Jiangsu Fengtai Diamond Tool
Manufacture Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Fengtai Tools Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu
Fengtai Sawing Industry Co., Ltd., as a single entity. See
Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 2, n. 4 for details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
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

Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of review, the Department will
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.\17\ If a respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Specifically, the Department will apply the assessment rate calculation
method adopted in Final Modification for Reviews.\18\ Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\18\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification for Reviews).
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by exporters individually examined during this review, the
Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide
rate. In addition, if the Department determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that
exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\20\ The
Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of
review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the companies listed above that have separate
rates, the cash deposit rate will be that established in the final
results of review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero
cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a
separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the
PRC-wide entity; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that
non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: December 5, 2016.
