SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract This collection of information addresses three activities: (1) Import Certificates/End Use Certificates, (2) Delivery Verification, and (3) Firearms Entry Clearance Requirements. Import Certificates or End-User Certificates (IC/EUC)—The IC/EUC, BIS–645P, is obtained by the foreign importer and transmitted to the U.S. exporter. They are issued by the government of the country of ultimate destination to exercise legal control over the disposition of the items covered by the IC/EUC. The control exercised by PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52949 the government issuing the IC/EUC is in addition to the conditions and restrictions placed on the transaction by BIS. Delivery Verification—The Delivery Verification Certificate (DV) is required by BIS as part of its export control program. The license holder is responsible for having the ultimate consignee complete the BIS–647P, Delivery Verification Certificate Form when the goods are delivered. BIS uses the DV procedure on an ‘‘as needed’’ basis. The DV is usually required when there is suspicion of violation of the EAR. Therefore, if the exporter cannot supply the DV, BIS must be notified to determine if an exception is legitimate. Otherwise, the exporter would be in violation of the EAR. Firearms Entry Clearance Requirements—On January 23, 2020, The Department of Commerce issued a final rule that described how articles the President determines no longer warrant control under the United States Munitions List (USML) Category I— Firearms, Close Assault Weapons and Combat Shotguns; Category II—Guns and Armament; and Category III— Ammunition/Ordnance would be controlled under the Commerce Control List (CCL). This final rule, which became effective on March 9, 2020, was published in conjunction with a final rule on Categories I, II, and III from the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). This entry clearance requirement is necessary due to the changes by the President in determining that certain items no longer warrant control under United States Munitions List (USML) Category I—Firearms, Close Assault Weapons and Combat Shotguns; Category II—Guns and Armament; and Category III—Ammunition/Ordnance would be controlled under the Commerce Control List (CCL). As the State Department previously collected this same type of information, the Department of Commerce controls the CCL and must now take over this collection of information. Section 758.10 Entry clearance requirements for temporary imports will specify the EAR procedures for temporary imports and subsequent exports. II.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that Difluoromethane (R-32) from the People’s Republic of China (China) is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). The period of investigation (POI) is July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination. AGENCY: 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 at https:// access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is difluoromethane (R-32) from China. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments Applicable August 20, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Tucker or William Miller, AD/ CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–2044 or (202) 482–3906, respectively. In accordance with the preamble to Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (scope).5 No party commented on the scope of the investigation. Thus, Commerce has not modified the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Methodology Background Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy, within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, Commerce has calculated normal value (NV) in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. In addition, Commerce has relied on facts available under section 776(a) of the Act to determine the cash deposit rate assigned to the China-wide entity. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, because the China-wide entity did not cooperate to the best of its ability in responding to Commerce’s requests for data, Commerce preliminarily has relied upon facts otherwise available, with adverse inferences, for the China-wide entity. For a full description of the methodology underlying Commerce’s preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. DATES: This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on February 24, 2020.1 On June 8, 2020, Commerce postponed the preliminary determination of this investigation and the revised deadline is now August 20, 2020.2 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II to this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This collection of information addresses three activities: (1) 
Import Certificates/End Use Certificates, (2) Delivery Verification, 
and (3) Firearms Entry Clearance Requirements.
    Import Certificates or End-User Certificates (IC/EUC)--The IC/EUC, 
BIS-645P, is obtained by the foreign importer and transmitted to the 
U.S. exporter. They are issued by the government of the country of 
ultimate destination to exercise legal control over the disposition of 
the items covered by the IC/EUC. The control exercised by the 
government issuing the IC/EUC is in addition to the conditions and 
restrictions placed on the transaction by BIS.
    Delivery Verification--The Delivery Verification Certificate (DV) 
is required by BIS as part of its export control program. The license 
holder is responsible for having the ultimate consignee complete the 
BIS-647P, Delivery Verification Certificate Form when the goods are 
delivered. BIS uses the DV procedure on an ``as needed'' basis. The DV 
is usually required when there is suspicion of violation of the EAR. 
Therefore, if the exporter cannot supply the DV, BIS must be notified 
to determine if an exception is legitimate. Otherwise, the exporter 
would be in violation of the EAR.
    Firearms Entry Clearance Requirements--On January 23, 2020, The 
Department of Commerce issued a final rule that described how articles 
the President determines no longer warrant control under the United 
States Munitions List (USML) Category I--Firearms, Close Assault 
Weapons and Combat Shotguns; Category II--Guns and Armament; and 
Category III--Ammunition/Ordnance would be controlled under the 
Commerce Control List (CCL). This final rule, which became effective on 
March 9, 2020, was published in conjunction with a final rule on 
Categories I, II, and III from the Department of State, Directorate of 
Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
    This entry clearance requirement is necessary due to the changes by 
the President in determining that certain items no longer warrant 
control under United States Munitions List (USML) Category I--Firearms, 
Close Assault Weapons and Combat Shotguns; Category II--Guns and 
Armament; and Category III--Ammunition/Ordnance would be controlled 
under the Commerce Control List (CCL). As the State Department 
previously collected this same type of information, the Department of 
Commerce controls the CCL and must now take over this collection of 
information. Section 758.10 Entry clearance requirements for temporary 
imports will specify the EAR procedures for temporary imports and 
subsequent exports.
