BackgroundScope of The InvestigationScope CommentsAnalysis of Comments ReceivedVerificationChanges Since The Preliminary DeterminationFinal Affirmative Determination of Critical CircumstancesChinawide Entity and The Use of Adverse Facts AvailableSeparate RatesCombination RatesOn August 17 2021 Commerce published the Preliminary Determination of sales at LTFV of R125 from China[1] The petitioner in this investigation is Honeywell International Inc The mandatory respondents in this investigation are Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Ind Co Ltd (Sanmei) and Zhejiang Quzhou Juxin Fluorine Chemical Co Ltd (Juxin) 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&#39s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) ACCESS is available to registered users at http//accesstradegov In addition a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https//accesstradegov/​public/​FRNoti The product covered by this investigation is R125 from China For a complete description of the scope of this investigation seeAppendix I In accordance with the preamble to Commerce&#39s regulations[3] the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage ( ie scope)[4] Certain interested parties commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice We addressed these comments in the Preliminary Determination and preliminarily modified the scope of this and the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation[5] We established a period of time for parties to address scope issues in scope case and rebuttal briefs[6] and we received such comments which we addressed in the Final Scope Decision Memorandum[7] After analyzing interested parties&#39 comments we made certain changes to the scope of this and the concurrent CVD investigation that published in the Preliminary Determination SeeAppendix I to this notice 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 Start Printed Page 1118 Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation However we took additional steps in lieu of an onsite verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended (the Act)[8] Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from parties we made certain changes to the AD margin calculation for Sanmei[9] We continue to find that critical circumstances exist for imports of R125 from China for the nonselected companies receiving a separate rate and the Chinawide entity pursuant to sections 735(a)(3)(A) and (B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351206[10] For the reasons explained in the Preliminary Determination 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 Chinawide entity[11] In selecting the AFA rate for the Chinawide entity Commerce&#39s 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[12] As AFA we assigned the Chinawide entity a dumping margin of 27805 percent which is the highest transactionspecific rate calculated for Sanmei for the final determination[13] Because this constitutes primary information calculated in the normal course of the investigation the statutory corroboration requirement in section 776(c) of the Act does not apply For the final determination we continue to find that Sanmei and certain nonindividually examined respondents are eligible for separate rates Generally Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act which provides instructions for calculating the allothers rate in an investigation for guidance when calculating the rate for separate rate respondents that we did not individually examine Because the only individually calculated dumping margin for Sanmei is not zero de minimisor based entirely on facts otherwise available the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin calculated for Sanmei is the margin assigned to all other nonindividuallyexamined separate rate recipients pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act In the Initiation Notice[14] Commerce stated that it would calculate producer/exporter combination rates for the respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation For a list of the respondents that established eligibility for their own separate rates and the exporter/producer combination rates applicable to these respondents seeAppendix III.

appropriate physical characteristics of R125 to be reported in response to Commerce&#39s AD questionnaires This information will be used to identify the key physical characteristics of the subject merchandise in order to report the relevant factors of production (FOPs) accurately as well as to develop appropriate productcomparison criteria Interested parties may provide any information or comments that they feel are relevant to the development of an accurate list of physical characteristics In order to consider the suggestions of interested parties in developing and issuing the AD questionnaires all product characteristics comments must be filed by 500 pm ET on February 22 2021 which is the next business day after 20 calendar days from the signature date of this notice[13] Any Start Printed Page 8585rebuttal comments which may include factual information must be filed by 500 pm ET on March 4 20 Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires that a petition be filed on behalf of the domestic industry Section 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act provides that a petition meets this requirement if the domestic producers or workers who support the petition account for (i) At least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product and (ii) more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for or opposition to the petition Moreover section 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that if the petition does not establish support of domestic producers or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like product Commerce shall (i) Poll the industry or rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for the petition as required by subparagraph (A) or (ii) determine industry support using a statistically valid sampling method to poll the “industry” Secti The petitioner alleges that the US industry producing the domestic like product is being materially injured or is threatened with material injury by reason of the imports of the subject merchandise sold at LTFV In addition the petitioner alleges that subject imports exceed the negligibility threshold provided for under section 771(24)(A) of the Act[25] The petitioner contends that the industry&#39s injured condition is illustrated by a significant and increasing volume of subject imports reduced market share underselling and price depression and suppression lost sales and revenues decline in employment variables declining profitability adverse impact on capital expenditures and capacity utilization and the magnitude of the alleged dumping margins[26] We assessed the allegations and supporting evidence regarding material injury threat of Start Printed Page 8586material injury causation as well as negligibility and we have determined that these allegations are properly The following is a description of the allegations of sales at LTFV upon which Commerce based its decision to initiate the AD investigation of imports of R125 from China The sources of data for the deductions and adjustments relating to US price and normal value (NV) are discussed in greater detail in the AD Initiation Checklist The petitioner based export price (EP) on two methodologies (1) Information from a sale of R125 produced in and exported from China by a Chinese producer and (2) transactionspecific average unit values (AUVs) derived from publiclyavailable import data and tied to ship manifest data obtained from ImportGenius and Datamyne[28] The petitioner made
