SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is amending the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on hydrofluorocarbon blends (HFC blends) from the People’s Republic of China (China) to correct ministerial errors. Based on the amended final results, we find that the sole mandatory respondent, Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.

Legal Framework A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), includes ‘‘errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which the administering authority considers ministerial.’’ 5 With respect to final results of administrative reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ‘‘will analyze any comments received and, if appropriate, correct any ministerial error by amending . . . the final results of review.’’ Ministerial Error Commerce determined that it made inadvertent errors within the meaning of section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) with respect to certain calculations regarding the following: (1) a surrogate freight cost for a utility input; (2) the resulting total value of that input; and (3) the value of perchloroethylene, an input used to make HFC blends. Accordingly, we determine, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that we made ministerial errors in the Final Results. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results to correct these errors. These corrections result in a change to Sanmei’s weighted-average dumping margin. For a complete description and analysis of the specific inadvertent errors and a discussion of the ministerial error allegations, see the accompanying Ministerial Error Allegation Memorandum.6 The Ministerial Error Allegation 3 See Sanmei’s Letter, ‘‘Zhejiang Sanmei’s Ministerial Error Comments,’’ dated March 8, 2024; see also Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘HFC Coalition’s Ministerial Error Allegation,’’ dated March 11, 2024. 4 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘HFC Coalition’s Rebuttal to Sanmei’s Ministerial Error Allegation,’’ dated March 13, 2024. 5 See 19 CFR 351.224(f). 6 See Memorandum, ‘‘Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the People’s Republic of China; 2021– 2022: Ministerial Error Allegation in the Final Results,’’ dated concurrently with this notice (Ministerial Error Allegation Memorandum).

disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
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 sanctionable violation.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 and/or countervailing 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 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 these final results of review in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(1) and 351.221(b)(5).
