Appendix—Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation consists of certain rotary walkbehind lawn mowers, which are grass-cutting
machines that are powered by internal
combustion engines. The scope of the
investigation cover certain walk-behind lawn
mowers, whether self-propelled or non-selfpropelled, whether finished or unfinished,
whether assembled or unassembled, and
whether containing any additional features
that provide for functions in addition to
mowing.
Walk-behind lawn mowers within the
scope of this investigation are only those
powered by an internal combustion engine
with a power rating of less than 3.7 kilowatts.
37429
These internal combustion engines are
typically spark ignition, single or multiple
cylinder, air cooled, internal combustion
engines with vertical power take off shafts
with a maximum displacement of 196cc.
Walk-behind lawn mowers covered by this
scope typically must be certified and comply
with the Consumer Products Safety
Commission Safety Standard For WalkBehind Power Lawn Mowers under the 16
CFR part 1205. However, lawn mowers that
meet the physical descriptions above, but are
not certified under 16 CFR part 1205 remain
subject to the scope of this proceeding.
The internal combustion engines of the
lawn mowers covered by this scope typically
must comply with and be certified under
Environmental Protection Agency air
pollution controls title 40, chapter I,
subchapter U, part 1054 of the Code of
Federal Regulations standards for small nonroad spark-ignition engines and equipment.
However, lawn mowers that meet the
physical descriptions above but that do not
have engines certified under 40 CFR part
1054 or other parts of subchapter U remain
subject to the scope of this proceeding.
For purposes of this investigation, an
unfinished and/or unassembled lawn mower
means at a minimum, a sub-assembly
comprised of an engine and a cutting deck
shell attached to one another. A cutting deck
shell is the portion of the lawn mower—
typically of aluminum or steel—that houses
and protects a user from a rotating blade.
Importation of the subassembly whether or
not accompanied by, or attached to,
additional components such as a handle,
blade(s), grass catching bag, or wheel(s)
constitute an unfinished lawn mower for
purposes of this investigation. The inclusion
in a third country of any components other
than the mower sub-assembly does not
remove the lawn mower from the scope. A
lawn mower is within the scope of this
investigation regardless of the origin of its
engine.
The lawn mowers subject to this
investigation are typically at subheading:
8433.11.0050. Lawn mowers subject to this
investigation may also enter under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) 8407.90.1010 and
8433.90.1090. The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes only, and the written description of
the merchandise under investigation is
dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
On January 8, 2020, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on magnesium
metal from China for the POR.1 We
invited parties to submit comments on
the Preliminary Results. No party
submitted comments. Accordingly, the
final results remain unchanged from the
Preliminary Results.
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). On April 24, 2020, Commerce
tolled all deadlines in administrative
reviews by 50 days, thereby extending
the deadline for these results until June
26, 2020.2
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is magnesium
metal from China, which includes
primary and secondary alloy
magnesium metal, regardless of
chemistry, raw material source, form,
shape, or size. Magnesium is a metal or
alloy containing by weight primarily the
element magnesium. Primary
magnesium is produced by
decomposing raw materials into
magnesium metal. Secondary
magnesium is produced by recycling
magnesium-based scrap into magnesium
metal. The magnesium covered by this
order includes blends of primary and
secondary magnesium.

The subject merchandise includes the
following alloy magnesium metal
products made from primary and/or
secondary magnesium including,
without limitation, magnesium cast into
ingots, slabs, rounds, billets, and other
shapes; magnesium ground, chipped,
crushed, or machined into rasping,
granules, turnings, chips, powder,
briquettes, and other shapes; and
products that contain 50 percent or
greater, but less than 99.8 percent,
magnesium, by weight, and that have
been entered into the United States as
conforming to an ‘‘ASTM Specification
for Magnesium Alloy’’ 3 and are thus
outside the scope of the existing
antidumping orders on magnesium from
China (generally referred to as ‘‘alloy’’
magnesium).
The scope of this order excludes: (1)
All forms of pure magnesium, including
chemical combinations of magnesium
and other material(s) in which the pure
magnesium content is 50 percent or
greater, but less than 99.8 percent, by
weight, that do not conform to an
‘‘ASTM Specification for Magnesium
Alloy’’; 4 (2) magnesium that is in liquid
or molten form; and (3) mixtures
containing 90 percent or less
magnesium in granular or powder form
by weight and one or more of certain
non-magnesium granular materials to
make magnesium-based reagent
mixtures, including lime, calcium
metal, calcium silicon, calcium carbide,
calcium carbonate, carbon, slag
coagulants, fluorspar, nephaline syenite,
feldspar, alumina (Al203), calcium
aluminate, soda ash, hydrocarbons,
graphite, coke, silicon, rare earth
metals/mischmetal, cryolite, silica/fly
ash, magnesium oxide, periclase,
ferroalloys, dolomite lime, and
colemanite.5
3 The meaning of this term is the same as that
used by the American Society for Testing and
Materials in its Annual Book for ASTM Standards:
Volume 01.02 Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys.
4 The material is already covered by existing
antidumping orders. See Notice of Antidumping
Duty Orders: Pure Magnesium from the People’s
Republic of China, the Russian Federation and
Ukraine; Notice of Amended Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Antidumping Duty

Antidumping Duty Order: Pure Magnesium in
Granular Form from the People’s Republic of China,
66 FR 57936 (November 19, 2001).
5 This third exclusion for magnesium-based
reagent mixtures is based on the exclusion for
reagent mixtures in the 2000–2001 investigations of
magnesium from China, Israel, and Russia. See

The merchandise subject to this order
is classifiable under items 8104.19.00,
and 8104.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS items are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
determined that TMI and TMM had no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.6 As we
have not received any comments on our
preliminary finding, we continue to find
that TMI and TMM did not have any
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR and intend to issue
appropriate instructions that are
consistent with our ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ clarification, for these final
results.7
Assessment Rates
Commerce determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review.
Additionally, consistent with
Commerce’s refinement to its
assessment practice in nonmarket
economy cases, for TMI and TMM, the
exporters under review, which we
determined had no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR,
any suspended entries of subject
merchandise from these companies (i.e.,
made under TMI’s case number at TMI’s
rate or made under TMM’s name) will
be liquidated at the China-wide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of
administrative review for shipments of
subject merchandise from China
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
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that

have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter(s)
that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Countervailing Duty Orders
International Trade Administration
On June 15, 2020, in accordance with
sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determinations in these
investigations, in which it found that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of quartz surface products from India
and Turkey, and that critical
circumstances do not exist with respect
to imports of subject merchandise from
India and Turkey that are subject to
Commerce’s affirmative critical
circumstances findings. Therefore, in
accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the
Act, Commerce is issuing these
countervailing duty orders. Because the
ITC determined that imports of quartz
surface products from India and Turkey
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from India or Turkey,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, are subject to the
assessment of countervailing duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by Commerce, countervailing duties for
all relevant entries of quartz surface
products from India and Turkey.
Countervailing duties will be assessed
on unliquidated entries of quartz surface
products from India and Turkey
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after October 11,
2019, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determinations,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, for all
producers and exporters except Antique
Marbonite Private Limited (Antique
Marbonite). For Antique Marbonite,
countervailing duties will be assessed
on unliquidated entries of quartz surface
products from India entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after May 1, 2020,
the date on which Commerce published
the Quartz Surface Products from India

Russian Federation, 60 FR 25691 (May 12, 1995); and Antidumping Duty
Order: Pure Magnesium in Granular Form from the People's Republic of
China, 66 FR 57936 (November 19, 2001).
\5\ This third exclusion for magnesium-based reagent mixtures is
based on the exclusion for reagent mixtures in the 2000-2001
investigations of magnesium from China, Israel, and Russia. See

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that TMI and TMM
had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the
POR.\6\ As we have not received any comments on our preliminary
finding, we continue to find that TMI and TMM did not have any
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and intend to issue
appropriate instructions that are consistent with our ``automatic
assessment'' clarification, for these final results.\7\

\7\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011); see also
``Assessment Rates'' section infra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Commerce determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review.
Additionally, consistent with Commerce's refinement to its
assessment practice in nonmarket economy cases, for TMI and TMM, the
exporters under review, which we determined had no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR, any suspended entries of subject
merchandise from these companies (i.e., made under TMI's case number at
TMI's rate or made under TMM's name) will be liquidated at the China-
wide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of administrative review for
shipments of subject merchandise from China 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 previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that
[[Page 37431]]
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding,
including TMI, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing
exporter-specific rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate,
including TMM, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of
141.49 percent; \8\ and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter(s) that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to all 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. 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: June 15, 2020.
