Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2019–2020
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) finds that the sole company
subject to this administrative review is
part of the China-wide entity because it
did not file a separate rate application
(SRA). The period of review (POR) is
April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2020.
DATES: Applicable June 8, 2021.

Background
On February 2, 2021, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on 1,1,1,2Tetrafluoroethane (R–134a) from the
People’s Republic of China (China) and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
invited interested parties to comment.1
We received no comments from
interested parties on the Preliminary
Results. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, R–134a, or
its chemical equivalent, regardless of
form, type, or purity level. The chemical
formula for 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane is
CF3-CH2 F, and the Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) registry number is CAS
811–97–2.2
Merchandise subject to the order is
currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) at subheading 2903.39.2020.
Although the HTSUS subheading and
CAS registry number are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Because we received no comments,
we made no changes from the
Preliminary Results. We continue to
find that Puremann, Inc., the sole
company subject to this review, did not
file an SRA and has not demonstrated
its eligibility for separate rate status and,
therefore, is part of the China-wide
entity. In this administrative review, no
party requested a review of the Chinawide entity, and Commerce did not selfinitiate a review of the China-wide
entity. Because no review of the Chinawide entity is being conducted, the
China-wide entity’s entries were not
subject to the review, and the rate
applicable to the NME entity was not
subject to change as a result of this
review. The China-wide entity rate
remains 167.02 percent.3
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in accordance with
1 See
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R–134a) from the
People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2019–
2020, 86 FR 7854 (February 2, 2021) (Preliminary
Results).

number of trade names including Klea 134a and

134a, and Dymel P134a (Chemours); Solkane 134a
(Solvay); and Forane 134a (Arkema). Generically,
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane has been sold as
Fluorocarbon 134a, R–134a, HFC–134a, HF A–134a,
Refrigerant 134a, and UN3159.

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). Because we determined
that Puremann, Inc. was not eligible for
a separate rate and is part of the Chinawide entity, we will instruct CBP to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of
167.02 percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR that were
exported by Puremann, Inc.
Consistent with its recent notice,4
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is
filed at the U.S. Court of International
Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
For previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese or non-Chinese exporters 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; (2) for all
Chinese 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 Chinawide entity (i.e., 167.02 percent); 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 that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 315.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties

Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
This notice also serves as a reminder
to 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(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which Commerce initiated the
investigation. However, section
703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce
to postpone the preliminary
determination until no later than 130
days after the date on which Commerce
initiated the investigation if: (A) The
petitioner 2 makes a timely request for a
postponement; or (B) Commerce
concludes that the parties concerned are
cooperating, that the investigation is
extraordinarily complicated, and that
additional time is necessary to make a
preliminary determination. Under 19
CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must
submit a request for postponement 25
days or more before the scheduled date
of the preliminary determination and
must state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On May 28, 2021, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
CVD determination.3 The petitioner
stated that it requests postponement
‘‘{t}o permit a thorough investigation
and the calculation of the most accurate
countervailing rates.’’ 4
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the
reasons for requesting a postponement
of the preliminary determination, and
Commerce finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination to no later than 130 days
after the date on which this
investigation was initiated, i.e., August
27, 2021. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the
deadline for the final determination of
this investigation will continue to be 75
days after the date of the preliminary
determination.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).
