Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 129 / Friday, July 7, 2023 / Notices consider in determining whether to include merchandise assembled or completed in a foreign country within the scope of an AD or CVD order. Specifically, Commerce shall take into account such factors as: (A) the pattern of trade, including sourcing patterns; (B) whether the manufacturer or exporter of the merchandise that was shipped to the foreign country is affiliated with the person who, in the foreign country, uses the merchandise to complete or assemble the merchandise which is subsequently imported into the United States; and (C) whether imports of the merchandise into the foreign country have increased after the initiation of the investigation that resulted in the issuance of such order. Analysis ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Based on our analysis of American HFC Coalition’s circumvention requests, Commerce determines that American HFC Coalition has satisfied the criteria under 19 CFR 351.226(c) to warrant the initiation of circumvention inquiries of the Order. For a full discussion of the basis for our decision to initiate these circumvention inquiries, see the Initiation Checklists.12 As explained in the Initiation Checklists, the information provided by domestic interested parties warrants initiating these circumvention inquiries on a country-wide basis. Commerce has taken this approach in prior circumvention inquiries, where the facts warranted initiation on a country-wide basis.13 12 See Checklist, ‘‘Enforcement and Compliance, Office of AD/CVD Operations, U.S. Custom Blends Circumvention Initiation Checklist,’’ dated June 29, 2023; see also Checklist, ‘‘Enforcement and Compliance, Office of AD/CVD Operations, Custom Blends from Malaysia Circumvention Initiation Checklist,’’ dated June 29, 2023; Checklist, ‘‘Enforcement and Compliance, Office of AD/CVD Operations, R410A from Turkey Circumvention Initiation Checklist,’’ dated June 29, 2023; and Checklist, ‘‘Enforcement and Compliance, Office of AD/CVD Operations, R10B from Turkey Circumvention Initiation Checklist,’’ dated June 29, 2023 (Collectively, Initiation Checklists). 13 See, e.g., Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiries on the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 83 FR 37785 (August 2, 2018); Carbon Steel ButtWeld Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiry on the Antidumping Duty Order, 82 FR 40556, 40560 (August 25, 2017) (stating at initiation that Commerce would evaluate the extent to which a country-wide finding applicable to all exports might be warranted); and Certain CorrosionResistant Steel Products from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiries on the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 81 FR 79454, 79458 (November 14, 2016) (stating at initiation that Commerce would evaluate the extent to which a country-wide finding applicable to all exports might be warranted). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 Jul 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 Consistent with the approach in the prior circumvention inquiries that were initiated on a country-wide basis, Commerce intends to issue four questionnaires (one for China, one for Malaysia, and two for Turkey) to solicit information from producers and exporters in China, Malaysia, and Turkey, respectively, concerning their shipments to the United States and the origin of any imported HFC blends being further processed into HFC blends subject to the Order. Respondent Selection Commerce intends to base respondent selection on U.S. Customs and Border and Protection (CBP) data. Commerce intends to place CBP data on each record within five days of the publication of the initiation notice. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be submitted within seven days after placement of the CBP data on the record of the relevant inquiry. Commerce intends to establish a schedule for questionnaire responses after respondent selection. A company’s failure to completely respond to Commerce’s requests for information may result in the application of partial or total facts available, pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, which may include adverse inferences, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. Suspension of Liquidation Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(l)(1), Commerce will notify CBP of the initiation of these circumvention inquiries and direct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of entries of products subject to the circumvention inquiries that were already subject to the suspension of liquidation under the Order and to apply the cash deposit rate that would be applicable if the products were determined to be covered by the scope of the Order. Should Commerce issue preliminary or final circumvention determinations, Commerce will follow the suspension of liquidation rules under 19 CFR 351.226(l)(2)–(4). Notification to Interested Parties In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(d) and sections 781(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce determines that the American HFC Coalition’s requests for these circumvention inquiries satisfies the requirements of 19 CFR 351.226(c). Accordingly, Commerce is notifying all interested parties of the initiation of these four circumvention inquiries to determine whether: (1) U.S. imports from China of R–410B, R–407G, and a custom blend that are further processed in the United States, are circumventing PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 43277 the Order; (2) U.S. imports from Malaysia of R–410A and R–407C that are completed in Malaysia using Chinese components are circumventing the Order; (3) U.S. imports of R–410B from Turkey that are completed in Turkey using Chinese components and further processed in the United States into in-scope blends are circumventing the Order; and (4) U.S. imports from Turkey of R–410A that are completed in Turkey using Chinese components are circumventing the Order. In addition, we included a description of the products that are the subject of these inquiries and an explanation of the reasons for Commerce’s decision to initiate these inquiries as provided above and in the accompanying Initiation Checklists. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(e)(1), Commerce intends to issue its preliminary determination no later than 150 days from the date of publication of the notice of initiation of these circumvention inquiries in the Federal Register. This notice is published in accordance with sections 781(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1)(ii). Dated: June 29, 2023. Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

Application of Facts Available With Adverse Inferences Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce is preliminarily relying upon facts otherwise available to determine a weighted-average dumping margin for Kumar Industries/Rudraa International (collectively, Kumar) 6 because: (1) necessary information is not available on the record; and (2) Kumar withheld requested information, failed to provide such information by the established deadlines, and significantly impeded this proceeding. Further, Commerce preliminarily determines that an adverse inference is warranted in selecting from among the facts otherwise available pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act because Kumar failed to cooperate to the best of its ability. For further information, see the section, ‘‘Application of Facts Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Rate for Non-Selected Respondent The Act and Commerce’s regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for non-examined companies in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.’’ In this administrative review, we have preliminarily calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Avid Organics Private Limited, that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available (i.e., 3.90 percent). 6 In the last two completed administrative reviews, Commerce treated Kumar Industries and Rudraa International as a collapsed joint entity. See Glycine from India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2018–2020, 86 FR 62508, 62509 n.4 (November 10, 2021); and Glycine from India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2020–2021, 87 FR 67870, 67871, n.5 (November 10, 2022).

Assessment Rates ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. If the weighted-average dumping margin for any individually examined respondent is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).13 If any of these companies’ weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, or if an importerspecific assessment rate for any of these companies is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.14 For entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by any of these companies for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the 12 See 19 CFR 351.310(c); see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements). 13 See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012). 14 Id., 77 FR at 8102–03; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).

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 upon publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of glycine from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will be 7.23 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation, adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.16 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also 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 and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.

glycine from India.\1\ On June 3, 2022, Commerce published in the 
Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative 
review of the Order.\2\ On August 9, 2022, based on timely filed 
requests for review, Commerce initiated this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act).\3\ On February 24, 2023, Commerce extended the time limit 
for these preliminary results to June 30, 2023, in accordance with

Results of the Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 
on Glycine from India; 2021-2022,'' dated concurrently with, and 
hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. Export price and constructed export price are 
calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value is 
calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying these 
preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of 
the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached 
as an appendix to this notice. 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 at 
https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Application of Facts Available With Adverse Inferences

    Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce is preliminarily 
relying upon facts otherwise available to determine a weighted-average 
dumping margin for Kumar Industries/Rudraa International (collectively, 
Kumar) \6\ because: (1) necessary information is not available on the 
record; and (2) Kumar withheld requested information, failed to provide 
such information by the established deadlines, and significantly 
impeded this proceeding. Further, Commerce preliminarily determines 
that an adverse inference is warranted in selecting from among the 
facts otherwise available pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act because 
Kumar failed to cooperate to the best of its ability. For further 
information, see the section, ``Application of Facts Available and 
Adverse Inferences'' in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In the last two completed administrative reviews, Commerce 
treated Kumar Industries and Rudraa International as a collapsed 
joint entity. See Glycine from India: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review; 2018-2020, 86 FR 62508, 62509 n.4 
(November 10, 2021); and Glycine from India: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 87 FR 67870, 
67871, n.5 (November 10, 2022). For these preliminary results, we 
continue to treat these two companies as a collapsed joint entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Non-Selected Respondent

    The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment 
of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual 
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative 
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce 
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for 
calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for 
guidance when calculating the rate for non-examined companies in an 
administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-
others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of 
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for 
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero 
and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the 
basis of facts available{time} .''
    In this administrative review, we have preliminarily calculated a 
weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Avid 
Organics Private Limited, that is not zero, de minimis, or based 
entirely on facts available (i.e., 3.90 percent). Accordingly, we have 
preliminarily assigned this rate to Paras Intermediates Private 
Limited, the sole respondent not selected for individual examination in 
this administrative review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 7-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of Review

    We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the period June 1, 2021, through May 31, 
2022.

    Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative

any written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, unless extended, 
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall 
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. 
If the weighted-average dumping margin for any individually examined 
respondent is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final 
results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment 
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping 
calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered 
value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\13\ If any 
of these companies' weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de 
minimis in the final results of review, or if an importer-specific 
assessment rate for any of these companies is zero or de minimis, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without 
regard to antidumping duties.\14\ For entries of subject merchandise 
during the period of review produced by any of these companies for 
which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United 
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries.\15\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012).
    \14\ Id., 77 FR at 8102-03; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
    \15\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
administrative 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 upon 
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of glycine from India entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 
cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to 
the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the 
final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company 
not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent 
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the original investigation but the producer is, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment 
for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will be 7.23 
percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value 
investigation, adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion 
countervailing duty investigation.\16\ These cash deposit requirements, 
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping 
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the 
amount of countervailing duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and sections 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: June 29, 2023.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
