accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on LWRPT from Mexico covering the
period August 1, 2019 through July 31,

Partial Rescission of Review

Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the publication date of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review.
Because Nucor Tubular’s request for
review, for 12 companies, was
withdrawn within the 90-day deadline,
and no other interested party requested
a review of these 12 companies, we are
rescinding this review with respect to
these 12 companies. The administrative
review remains active with respect to
the seven remaining companies for
which a review was initiated, i.e.,
Maquilacero S.A. de C.V.; Nacional de

The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) 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 is
July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
The final dumping margins of sales at
LTFV are listed below in the ‘‘Final
Determination’’ section of this notice.
DATES: Applicable January 19, 2021.
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

(202) 482–2044 or (202) 482–3906,
respectively.
SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 27, 2020, Commerce
published the Preliminary
Determination of sales at LTFV of R–32
from China,1 in which we also
postponed the final determination to
January 11, 2021. The petitioner in this
investigation is Arkema Inc. The
mandatory respondents in this
investigation are Taizhou Qingsong
Refrigerant New Material Co., Ltd.
(Taizhou Qingsong) and Zibo Feiyuan
Chemical Co., Ltd. (Zibo Feiyuan).
A summary of the events that
occurred since Commerce published the
Preliminary Determination, as well as a
full discussion of the issues raised by
the parties for this final determination
are discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.2 The Issues and 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
at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/

Decision Memorandum).

Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this
investigation is R–32 from China. For a
complete description of the scope of this
investigation, see Appendix I.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties in this
investigation are addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum. A list of
the issues raised is attached to this
notice as Appendix II.
Verification
Commerce normally verifies
information relied upon in making its
final determination, pursuant to section
782(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). However, due to
current travel restrictions in response to
the global COVID–19 pandemic,
Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification in this investigation.3
Consistent with section 776(a)(2)(D) of
the Act, Commerce relied on the
information submitted on the record,
which we used in making our
Preliminary Determination, as facts
available in making our final
determination.
Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
Based on our review and analysis of
the comments received from parties, we
made no changes to the antidumping
duty margin calculations for Taizhou
Qingsong and Zibo Feiyuan.
China-Wide Entity and the Use of
Adverse Facts Available
We continue to find that the use of
adverse facts available (AFA), pursuant
to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, is
warranted in determining the rate for
the China-wide entity.4 In selecting the
AFA rate for the China-wide entity,
Commerce’s practice is to select a rate
that is sufficiently adverse to ensure that
the uncooperative party does not obtain
a more favorable result by failing to
cooperate than if it had fully
cooperated.5 As AFA, we assigned the
3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Cancelation of Verification
and Briefing Schedule,’’ dated October 21, 2020.
4 The China-wide entity includes those
companies who did not submit a separate rate
application, and those companies Commerce
determined were ineligible to receive a separate
rate.

Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement
