SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 9, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results of the 2022-2023 administrative review of the
antidumping duty on hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blends from China.\1\ We
invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results; \2\
however, no interested party submitted comments. Accordingly, the final
results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results, and thus there
is no decision memorandum accompanying this notice. Commerce conducted
this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

China: Preliminary Results and Partial Recission of Antidumping Duty

(Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum (PDM).

China: Antidumping Duty Order, 81 FR 55436 (August 19, 2016)
(Order).

The products covered by the Order are HFC blends from China.\4\

\4\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
Preliminary Results PDM at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
In accordance with Commerce's policy, the China-wide entity will
not be reviewed unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-
initiates, a review of the entity.\5\ Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity, the entity is not under review and the
entity's rate of 216.37 percent is not subject to change.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

Final Results of Review
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that, because none
of the companies under review with suspended entries in the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data submitted a separate rate
application or certification, none of these companies had established
eligibility for a separate rate. We received no comments with respect
to our preliminary finding. Therefore, for these final results, we
continue to determine that companies in the appendix to this notice are
part of the China-wide entity, and thus, subject to the China-wide
entity rate.
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results within five
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because Commerce determined that each of the companies listed
in the appendix is part of the China-wide entity, there are no
calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). Commerce will instruct CBP to apply an
ad valorem assessment rate of 216.37 percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which were exported by the companies
considered to be a part of the China-wide entity listed in the Appendix
to this notice.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results of
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 and non-
Chinese exporters for which a review was not requested and 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 published for the most recently-completed period; (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 the rate for
the China-wide entity (i.e., 216.37 percent); and (3) for all non-
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that 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 final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
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 violation subject to sanction.
