SUMMARY : Based on affirmative final determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), Commerce is issuing antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain walk-behind snow throwers and parts thereof (snow throwers) from the People’s Republic of China (China). DATES : Applicable May 19, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Laurel LaCivita (AD) and Joy Zhang (CVD), AD/CVD Operations, Office III, Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5848 or 202–482–1168, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background In accordance with sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on March 29, 2022, Commerce published its affirmative final determination of sales at less than fair value (LTFV) and its affirmative final determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of snow throwers from China. 1 On May 11, 2022, pursuant to sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative determinations that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of LTFV imports and subsidized imports of snow throwers from China, within the meaning of sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.2 Scope of the Orders The products covered by these orders are snow throwers from China. For a full description of the scope of the orders, see the appendix to this notice. AD Order As stated above, on May 11, 2022, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of snow throwers from China that are sold in the United States at LTFV.3 Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of snow throwers from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries of snow throwers from China. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of snow throwers from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 5, 2021, the date of publication of the AD Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC’s final injury determination, as further described below. 4 Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation—AD Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional Measures—AD’’ section of this notice, in accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 May 18, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\19MYN1.SGM 19MYN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 30449Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2022 / Notices 5 See AD Preliminary Determination. 6 See ITC Notification Letter. 7 See Certain Walk-Behind Snow Throwers and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final Determination with Final Antidumping Determination, 86 FR 50696 (September 10, 2021) (CVD Preliminary Determination). of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of snow throwers from China. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the table below, adjusted by the relevant subsidy offsets. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter Producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Cash deposit rate (adjusted for subsidy offsets) (percent) Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd ......................

Zhejiang KC Mechanical & Electrical Co., Ltd ... 169.27 142.19 China-Wide Entity ............................................... ............................................................................. 223.07 201.99 Provisional Measures—AD Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four- month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of snow throwers from China, Commerce extended the four-month period to six months in this AD investigation. Commerce published the AD Preliminary Determination on November 5, 2021.5 The extended provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of the AD Preliminary Determination, ended on May 3, 2022. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of snow throwers from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May 3, 2022, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register. CVD Order As stated above, on May 11, 2022, in accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that the industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of subsidized imports of snow throwers from China.6 Therefore, in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this CVD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of snow throwers from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce intends to direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties for all relevant entries of snow throwers from China, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 10, 2021, the date of publication of the CVD Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the publication of the ITC’s final injury determination under section 705(b) of the Act, as further described in the ‘‘Provisional Measures—CVD’’ section of this notice.7 Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits—CVD In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of snow throwers from China, effective on the date of publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates below. On or after the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed below, as appropriate: Company Subsidy rate (percent) Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co .................. 203.06 Changzhou Globe Tools Co., Ltd ........... 203.06 Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., Ltd .......... 203.06 Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery Co., Ltd 203.06 Ningbo Joyo Garden Machinery Co., Ltd 203.06 Ningbo Scojet Import & Export Trading .. 203.06 TIYA International Co., Ltd ..................... 203.06 Weima Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd .. 203.06 Zhejiang Yat Electrical Appliance Co ...... 203.06 All Others ................................................ 203.06 Provisional Measures—CVD Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 May 18, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\19MYN1.SGM 19MYN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 30450 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2022 / Notices 8 Id. for more than four months. Commerce published the CVD Preliminary Determination on September 10, 2021.8 As such, the four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the CVD Preliminary Determination ended on January 7, 2022. Therefore, in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated entries of snow throwers from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after January 7, 2022, the date on which the provisional measures expired, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register. Notification to Interested Parties This notice constitutes the AD and CVD orders with respect to snow throwers from China pursuant to sections 706(a) and 736(a) of the Act. Interested parties can find a list of orders currently in effect at https:// enforcement.trade.gov/stats/ iastats1.html. These orders are published in accordance with sections 706(a) and 736(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.211(b). Dated: May 13, 2022. Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix—Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by these orders consists of gas-powered, walk-behind snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), which are snow moving machines that are powered by internal combustion engines and primarily pedestrian-controlled. The scope of these orders covers certain snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), whether self- propelled or non-self-propelled, whether finished or unfinished, whether assembled or unassembled, and whether containing any additional features that provide for functions in addition to snow throwing. Subject merchandise also includes finished and unfinished snow throwers that are further processed in a third country or in the United States, including, but not limited to, assembly or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of these orders if performed in the country of manufacture of the in-scope snow throwers. Walk-behind snow throwers subject to the scope of these orders are powered by internal combustion engines which are typically spark ignition, single or multiple cylinder, and air-cooled with power take off shafts. For the purposes of these orders, an unfinished and/or unassembled snow thrower means at a minimum, a subassembly comprised of an engine, auger housing (i.e., intake frame), and an auger (or ‘‘auger paddle’’) packaged or imported together. An intake frame is the portion of the snow thrower—typically of aluminum or steel that houses and protects an operator from a rotating auger and is the intake point for the snow. Importation of the subassembly whether or not accompanied by, or attached to, additional components including, but not limited to, handle(s), impeller(s), chute(s), track tread(s), or wheel(s) constitutes an unfinished snow thrower for purposes of these orders. The inclusion in a third country of any components other than the snow thrower sub-assembly does not remove the snow thrower from the scope. A snow thrower is within the scope of these orders regardless of the origin of its engine. Specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof, from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 12623 (March 4, 2021); and Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 12619 (March 4, 2021). Also specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 86 FR 023675 (May 4, 2021). The snow throwers subject to these orders are typically entered under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 8430.20.0060. Certain parts of snow throwers subject to these orders may also enter under HTSUS 8431.49.9095. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes only, and the written description of the merchandise under these orders is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on April 26, 2021. 1 On August 20, 2021, Commerce postponed the preliminary determination of this investigation, and the revised deadline is now October 26, 2021. 2 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 3 A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II 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. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are snow throwers from China. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the preamble to Commerce’s regulations, 4 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5 MTD Products Inc. (the petitioner) commented on the scope of the investigation, requesting the addition of exclusion language to the scope as it appeared in the Initiation Notice.6 Thus, Commerce preliminarily modified the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice to include the requested language in the companion countervailing duty (CVD) preliminary determination. 7 See the revised scope in Appendix I to this notice and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum for further discussion. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy, within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, Commerce has calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.

Combination Rates In the Initiation Notice, Commerce stated that it would calculate producer/ exporter combination rates for the respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation.8 Policy Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice. 9 In this investigation, we calculated producer/exporter combination rates for respondents eligible for separate rates. Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter Producer Estimated weighted-aver- age dumping margin (percent) Cash deposit rate (adjusted for subsidy off- sets) (percent) Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd ............................... Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd ............................... 233.41 222.87 Ningbo Scojet Import & Export Trade Co., Ltd ............

Zhejiang KC Mechanical & Electrical Co., Ltd ............. 233.41 222.87 China-Wide Entity ......................................................... ....................................................................................... 325.03 314.49 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, as discussed below. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the weighted average amount by which normal value exceeds U.S. price, as indicated in the chart above as follows: (1) For the producer/exporter combinations listed in the table above, the cash deposit rate is equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin listed for that combination in the table; (2) for all combinations of Chinese producers/exporters of subject merchandise that have not established eligibility for their own separate rates, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for the China-wide entity; and (3) for all third-county exporters of subject merchandise not listed in the table above, the cash deposit rate is the cash deposit rate applicable to the Chinese producer/ exporter combination (or the China- wide entity) that supplied that third- country exporter. To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of domestic subsidy pass-through and export subsidies determined in a companion CVD proceeding when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, where Commerce has made a preliminary affirmative determination for domestic subsidy pass-through or export subsidies, Commerce has offset the calculated estimated weighted- average dumping margin by the appropriate rate(s). Any such adjusted rates may be found in the chart of estimated weighted-average dumping margins in the ‘‘Preliminary Determination’’ section. Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV investigation, Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting cash deposits at a rate equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated in this preliminary determination unadjusted for the passed-through domestic subsidies or for export subsidies at the time the CVD provisional measures expire. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on- site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in response to the global COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to verify the information relied upon in making the final determination through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification. Public Comment Case briefs or other written comments on non-scope issues may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. A timeline for the submission of case briefs and written comments will be provided to interested parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in these case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline date for case briefs.10 Note that Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information until further notice.11 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:40 Nov 04, 2021 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\05NON1.SGM 05NON1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 61137Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 212 / Friday, November 5, 2021 / Notices 12 See Zhejiang Zhouli’s Letter, ‘‘Certain Walk- Behind Snow Throwers and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic China: Request to Postpone the Final Determination,’’ dated October 7, 2021. encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. Additionally, interested parties may address the preliminary modification to the scope in scope case briefs, which may be submitted no later than 30 days after the publication of this preliminary determination in the Federal Register. Scope rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the scope case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for the scope case briefs. These deadlines apply for both the AD and CVD investigations of snow throwers from China. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party’s name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On October 7, 2021, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd. requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.12 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination, pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Act. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination of sales at LTFV. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether imports of snow throwers from China are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(c). Dated: October 26, 2021.

Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of gas-powered, walk- behind snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), which are snow moving machines that are powered by internal combustion engines and primarily pedestrian-controlled. The scope of the investigation covers certain snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), whether self-propelled or non-self- propelled, whether finished or unfinished, whether assembled or unassembled, and whether containing any additional features that provide for functions in addition to snow throwing. Subject merchandise also includes finished and unfinished snow throwers that are further processed in a third country or in the United States, including, but not limited to, assembly or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of this investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the in-scope snow throwers. Walk-behind snow throwers subject to the scope of this investigation are powered by internal combustion engines which are typically spark ignition, single or multiple cylinder, and air-cooled with power take off shafts. For the purposes of this investigation, an unfinished and/or unassembled snow thrower means at a minimum, a sub- assembly comprised of an engine, auger housing (i.e., intake frame), and an auger (or ‘‘auger paddle’’) packaged or imported together. An intake frame is the portion of the snow thrower—typically of aluminum or steel—that houses and protects an operator from a rotating auger and is the intake point for the snow. Importation of the subassembly whether or not accompanied by, or attached to, additional components including, but not limited to, handle(s), impeller(s), chute(s), track tread(s), or wheel(s) constitutes an unfinished snow thrower for purposes of this investigation. The inclusion in a third country of any components other than the snow thrower sub-assembly does not remove the snow thrower from the scope. A snow thrower is within the scope of this investigation regardless of the origin of its engine. Specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof, from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 12623 (March 4, 2021) and Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 12619 (March 4, 2021). Also specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 86 FR 023675 (May 4, 2021). The snow throwers subject to this investigation are typically entered under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 8430.20.0060. Certain parts of snow throwers subject to this investigation may also enter under HTSUS 8431.49.9095. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes only, and the written description of the merchandise under investigation is dispositive.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of certain walk-behind snow throwers and parts thereof (snow throwers) from the People’s Republic of China (China). The period of investigation is January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. DATES : Applicable March 29, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Alex Cipolla or Joy Zhang, AD/CVD Operations, Office III, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4956 or (202) 482–1168, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On September 10, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register.1 A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination may be found 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’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included at Appendix II. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are snow throwers from China. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments There have been no scope comments since the Preliminary Determination. As a result, Commerce has made no changes to the scope of this investigation since the Preliminary Determination. Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received The subsidy programs under investigation and the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised by parties, and to which we responded in the Issue and Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice at Appendix II. Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.3 For a full description of the methodology underlying our final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. In making this final determination, Commerce is relying on facts otherwise available, including adverse facts available (AFA), pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For a full discussion of our application of AFA, see the Preliminary Determination and the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.4 Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act. 5 Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from parties, as well as additional information collected subsequent to the Preliminary Determination, we made certain changes to Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Zhouli)’s subsidy rate calculations, the rate for non- cooperating respondents, and the all- others rate. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate In accordance with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates established for those companies individually examined, excluding any zero and de minimis rates and any rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act. Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, if the individual estimated countervailable subsidy rates established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis or determined based entirely on facts otherwise available, Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable method’’ to establish the estimated subsidy rate for all other producers or exporters. All three companies selected VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:01 Mar 28, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\29MRN1.SGM 29MRN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 17988 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2022 / Notices 6 The mandatory respondents in this investigation are TIYA International (TIYA), Ningbo Scojet Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Scojet), and Zhejiang Zhouli. Commerce originally selected TIYA as a mandatory respondent. On May 28, 2021, TIYA notified Commerce that it did not intend to participate as a mandatory respondent. Commerce then selected Ningbo Scojet as a mandatory respondent. However, Ningbo Scojet did not respond to our initial questionnaire. 7 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at section ‘‘Application of AFA: Non-Responsive Companies.’’ 8 Id.; see also Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 6. 9 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at section ‘‘Application of AFA: Non-Responsive Companies.’’ 10 Id. 11 Id. as mandatory respondents 6 in this investigation are receiving individual estimated subsidy rates based entirely on facts available under section 776 of the Act. Consequently, pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, we established the all-others rate by applying the countervailable subsidy rate assigned to the three mandatory respondents. Final Determination Commerce determines that the following estimated countervailable subsidy rates exist: Company Subsidy rate (percent) Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co .................. 203.06 All Others ................................................ 203.06 Changzhou Globe Tools Co., Ltd 7 ......... 203.06 Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., Ltd 8 ....... 203.06 Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery Co., Ltd 9 ...................................................... 203.06 Ningbo Joyo Garden Tools Co., Ltd 10 ... 203.06 Ningbo Scojet Import & Export Trad- ing 11 .................................................... 203.06 TIYA International Co., Ltd ..................... 203.06 Weima Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd .. 203.06 Zhejiang Yat Electrical Appliance Co ...... 203.06 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations and analysis performed in this final determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of the publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation As a result of our Preliminary Determination and pursuant to section 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise from China that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, effective September 10, 2021, which is the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, effective January 9, 2022, we instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation of all entries on or after January 9, 2022, but to continue the suspension of liquidation of all entries between September 10, 2021, and January 8, 2022. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, we will issue a CVD order, and continue to require a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties for such entries of subject merchandise in the amounts indicated above, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act. If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will be refunded or canceled. ITC Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of our final affirmative determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of snow throwers from China. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of snow throwers from China no later than 45 days after our final determination. In addition, we are making available to the ITC all non-privileged and nonproprietary information related to this investigation. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue a countervailing duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on all imports of the subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. We will allow the ITC access to all privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either publicly or under an administrative protective order (APO), without the written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders In the event that the ITC issues a final negative injury determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/ 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 which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 705(d) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: March 21, 2022. Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of gas-powered, walk- behind snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), which are snow moving machines that are powered by internal combustion engines and primarily pedestrian-controlled. The scope of the investigation covers certain snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), whether self-propelled or non-self- propelled, whether finished or unfinished, whether assembled or unassembled, and whether containing any additional features that provide for functions in addition to snow throwing. Subject merchandise also includes finished and unfinished snow throwers that are further processed in a third country or in the United States, including, but not limited to, assembly or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of this investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the in-scope snow throwers. Walk-behind snow throwers subject to the scope of this investigation are powered by internal combustion engines which are typically spark ignition, single or multiple cylinder, and air-cooled with power take off shafts. For the purposes of this investigation, an unfinished and/or unassembled snow thrower means at a minimum, a subassembly comprised of an engine, auger housing (i.e., intake frame), and an auger (or ‘‘auger paddle’’) packaged or imported together. An intake frame is the portion of the snow thrower—typically of aluminum or steel that houses and protects an operator from a VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:01 Mar 28, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\29MRN1.SGM 29MRN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 17989Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2022 / Notices 1 See Certain Lined Paper Products from India: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part; and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2019–2020, 86 FR 54426 (October 1, 2021) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for Final Results,’’ dated January 26, 2022. 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Lined Paper Products from India; 2019–2020,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 4 See, e.g., Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 26922, 26923 (May 13, 2010), unchanged in Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 56989 (September 17, 2010). rotating auger and is the intake point for the snow. Importation of the subassembly whether or not accompanied by, or attached to, additional components including, but not limited to, handle(s), impeller(s), chute(s), track tread(s), or wheel(s) constitutes an unfinished snow thrower for purposes of this investigation. The inclusion in a third country of any components other than the snow thrower sub-assembly does not remove the snow thrower from the scope. A snow thrower is within the scope of this investigation regardless of the origin of its engine. Specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof, from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 12623 (March 4, 2021) and Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 12619 (March 4, 2021). Also specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 86 FR 023675 (May 4, 2021). The snow throwers subject to this investigation are typically entered under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 8430.20.0060. Certain parts of snow throwers subject to this investigation may also enter under HTSUS 8431.49.9095.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Navneet Education Ltd. (Navneet), a producer/ exporter subject to this administrative review, made sales of certain lined paper products from India at less than normal value during the period of review (POR) September 1, 2019, through August 31, 2020. In addition, Commerce determines that Goldenpalm Manufacturers PVT Limited (Goldenpalm) had no shipments during the POR. DATES : Applicable March 29, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On October 1, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this administrative review. 1 On January 26, 2022, Commerce extended these final results by an additional 60 days.2 The current deadline for these final results is March 30, 2022. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a complete description of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.3 Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are certain lined paper products from India. For a full description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily found that Goldenpalm had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Following the publication of the Preliminary Results, we received no comments from interested parties regarding Goldenpalm, nor has any party submitted record evidence which would call our preliminary determination of no shipments into question. Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find that Goldenpalm had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly, consistent with Commerce’s practice, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by Goldenpalm, but exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate.4 Application of Adverse Facts Available For these final results, we continue to find that Magic International Pvt. Ltd. and Marisa International withheld information requested by Commerce, failed to provide the requested information in a timely manner, and significantly impeded the proceeding, warranting a determination on the basis of the facts available under section 776(a) of the Act. Therefore, we continue to find that Magic International Pvt. Ltd. and Marisa International have not acted to the best of their abilities and the application of adverse facts available, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, is warranted. Rates for Non-Selected Companies For the rate for non-selected respondents in an administrative review, 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.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that imports of certain walk-behind snow throwers and parts thereof (snow throwers) from the People’s Republic of China (China) are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On October 26, 2021, Commerce published its Preliminary Determination of sales at LTFV of snow throwers from China, in which we also postponed this final determination until 135 days after the date of publication of the preliminary determination, pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).1 A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is available electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

As a consequence, it is not necessary to conduct a corroboration analysis for this determination). 6 See Enforcement and Compliance’s Policy Bulletin No. 05.1, regarding, ‘‘Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market Economy Countries,’’ (April 5, 2005) (Policy Bulletin 05.1), available on Commerce’s website at http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by interested parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised by parties and responded to by Commerce in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix II. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act.3 Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of the comments received and additional information obtained since our Preliminary Determination, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Zhouli). For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Separate Rate Companies No party commented on our preliminary separate rate determinations with respect to the mandatory respondents and the non- individually examined companies; thus, we find no basis to reconsider our preliminary determinations with respect to separate rate status, and we have continued to grant these companies separate rates in this final determination. China-Wide Entity Rate and the Use of Adverse Facts Available Commerce continues to find that the use of facts available is warranted in determining the rate for the China-wide entity, pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A)–(C) of the Act. As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce finds that the use of adverse facts available (AFA) is warranted with respect to the China- wide entity because the China-wide entity failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with our requests for information and, accordingly, we applied adverse inferences in selecting from the facts available, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308(a). For the final determination, as AFA, we are assigning the China-wide entity a dumping margin of 223.07 percent, which represents highest individual dumping margin calculated for Zhejiang Zhouli.4 Because this rate is not secondary information, but rather is based on information obtained in the course of the investigation, Commerce need not corroborate this rate pursuant to section 776(c) of the Act.5 Combination Rates Consistent with the Preliminary Determination, Commerce calculated exporter/producer combination rates for the respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. Policy Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice. 6 Final Determination The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter Producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Cash deposit rate (adjusted for subsidy offsets) (percent) Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd ...............................

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of snow throwers from China, as described in Appendix I to this notice, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 5, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination of this investigation in the Federal Register. Furthermore, pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, upon the publication of this notice, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the weighted-average amount by which the normal value exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the exporter/ producer combinations listed in the table above will be the rate identified in the table; (2) for all combinations of VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:01 Mar 28, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\29MRN1.SGM 29MRN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 17986 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2022 / Notices 7 See Preliminary Determination PDM at 26. Chinese exporters/producers of subject merchandise that have not received their own separate rate above, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the China-wide entity; and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate rate above, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate applicable to the Chinese exporter/producer combination that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of domestic subsidy pass-through and export subsidies determined in a companion countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, where Commerce makes an affirmative determination for domestic subsidy pass-through or export subsidies, Commerce offsets the calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate rates. Commerce continues to find that Zhejiang Zhouli, and all non- individually-examined companies found eligible for a separate rate qualify for a double-remedy adjustment. 7 Further, we have continued to adjust the cash deposit rates for Zhejiang Zhouli, all non-individually-examined separate rate companies, and the China-wide entity for export subsidies in the companion CVD investigation by the appropriate export subsidy rates as indicated in the above chart. However, suspension of liquidation according to provisional measures in the companion CVD case has been discontinued effective January 8, 2022; therefore, we are not instructing CBP to collect cash deposits based upon the adjusted estimated weighted-average dumping margin for those export subsidies and double remedy adjustment at this time. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of snow throwers from China no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 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 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. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: March 21, 2022. Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of gas-powered, walk- behind snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), which are snow moving machines that are powered by internal combustion engines and primarily pedestrian-controlled. The scope of the investigation covers certain snow throwers (also known as snow blowers), whether self-propelled or non-self- propelled, whether finished or unfinished, whether assembled or unassembled, and whether containing any additional features that provide for functions in addition to snow throwing. Subject merchandise also includes finished and unfinished snow throwers that are further processed in a third country or in the United States, including, but not limited to, assembly or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of this investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the in-scope snow throwers. Walk-behind snow throwers subject to the scope of this investigation are powered by internal combustion engines which are typically spark ignition, single or multiple cylinder, and air-cooled with power take off shafts. For the purposes of this investigation, an unfinished and/or unassembled snow thrower means at a minimum, a subassembly comprised of an engine, auger housing (i.e., intake frame), and an auger (or ‘‘auger paddle’’) packaged or imported together. An intake frame is the portion of the snow thrower—typically of aluminum or steel— that houses and protects an operator from a rotating auger and is the intake point for the snow. Importation of the subassembly whether or not accompanied by, or attached to, additional components including, but not limited to, handle(s), impeller(s), chute(s), track tread(s), or wheel(s) constitutes an unfinished snow thrower for purposes of this investigation. The inclusion in a third country of any components other than the snow thrower sub-assembly does not remove the snow thrower from the scope. A snow thrower is within the scope of this investigation regardless of the origin of its engine. Specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof, from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 12623 (March 4, 2021) and Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 12619 (March 4, 2021). Also specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and parts thereof from the People’s Republic of China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 99cc and Up to 225cc, and Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 86 FR 023675 (May 4, 2021). The snow throwers subject to this investigation are typically entered under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 8430.20.0060. Certain parts of snow throwers subject to this investigation may also enter under HTSUS 8431.49.9095.

In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are snow throwers from China. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments There have been no scope comments since the Preliminary Determination. As a result, Commerce has made no changes to the scope of this investigation since the Preliminary Determination. Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received The subsidy programs under investigation and the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised by parties, and to which we responded in the Issue and Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice at Appendix II. Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.3 For a full description of the methodology underlying our final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. In making this final determination, Commerce is relying on facts otherwise available, including adverse facts available (AFA), pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For a full discussion of our application of AFA, see the Preliminary Determination and the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.4 Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act. 5 Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from parties, as well as additional information collected subsequent to the Preliminary Determination, we made certain changes to Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Zhouli)’s subsidy rate calculations, the rate for non- cooperating respondents, and the all- others rate. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate In accordance with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates established for those companies individually examined, excluding any zero and de minimis rates and any rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act. Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, if the individual estimated countervailable subsidy rates established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis or determined based entirely on facts otherwise available, Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable method’’ to establish the estimated subsidy rate for all other producers or exporters.

In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are snow throwers from China. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments There have been no scope comments since the Preliminary Determination. As a result, Commerce has made no changes to the scope of this investigation since the Preliminary Determination. Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received The subsidy programs under investigation and the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised by parties, and to which we responded in the Issue and Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice at Appendix II. Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.3 For a full description of the methodology underlying our final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. In making this final determination, Commerce is relying on facts otherwise available, including adverse facts available (AFA), pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For a full discussion of our application of AFA, see the Preliminary Determination and the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.4 Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act. 5 Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from parties, as well as additional information collected subsequent to the Preliminary Determination, we made certain changes to Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Zhouli)’s subsidy rate calculations, the rate for non- cooperating respondents, and the all- others rate. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate In accordance with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates established for those companies individually examined, excluding any zero and de minimis rates and any rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act. Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, if the individual estimated countervailable subsidy rates established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis or determined based entirely on facts otherwise available, Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable method’’ to establish the estimated subsidy rate for all other producers or exporters.

(Ningbo Scojet), and Zhejiang Zhouli. Commerce originally selected TIYA as a mandatory respondent. On May 28, 2021, TIYA notified Commerce that it did not intend to participate as a mandatory respondent. Commerce then selected Ningbo Scojet as a mandatory respondent. However, Ningbo Scojet did not respond to our initial questionnaire. 7 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at section ‘‘Application of AFA: Non-Responsive Companies.’’ 8 Id.; see also Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 6. 9 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at section ‘‘Application of AFA: Non-Responsive Companies.’’ 10 Id. 11 Id. as mandatory respondents 6 in this investigation are receiving individual estimated subsidy rates based entirely on facts available under section 776 of the Act. Consequently, pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, we established the all-others rate by applying the countervailable subsidy rate assigned to the three mandatory respondents. Final Determination Commerce determines that the following estimated countervailable subsidy rates exist: Company Subsidy rate (percent) Zhejiang Zhouli Industrial Co .................. 203.06 All Others ................................................ 203.06 Changzhou Globe Tools Co., Ltd 7 ......... 203.06 Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., Ltd 8 ....... 203.06 Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery Co., Ltd 9 ...................................................... 203.06 Ningbo Joyo Garden Tools Co., Ltd 10 ... 203.06 Ningbo Scojet Import & Export Trad- ing 11 .................................................... 203.06 TIYA International Co., Ltd ..................... 203.06 Weima Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd .. 203.06 Zhejiang Yat Electrical Appliance Co ...... 203.06 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations and analysis performed in this final determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of the publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation As a result of our Preliminary Determination and pursuant to section 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise from China that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, effective September 10, 2021, which is the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, effective January 9, 2022, we instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation of all entries on or after January 9, 2022, but to continue the suspension of liquidation of all entries between September 10, 2021, and January 8, 2022. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, we will issue a CVD order, and continue to require a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties for such entries of subject merchandise in the amounts indicated above, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act. If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will be refunded or canceled. ITC Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of our final affirmative determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of snow throwers from China. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of snow throwers from China no later than 45 days after our final determination. In addition, we are making available to the ITC all non-privileged and nonproprietary information related to this investigation. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue a countervailing duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on all imports of the subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. We will allow the ITC access to all privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either publicly or under an administrative protective order (APO), without the written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders In the event that the ITC issues a final negative injury determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/ 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 which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 705(d) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: March 21, 2022. Lisa W.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Navneet Education Ltd. (Navneet), a producer/ exporter subject to this administrative review, made sales of certain lined paper products from India at less than normal value during the period of review (POR) September 1, 2019, through August 31, 2020. In addition, Commerce determines that Goldenpalm Manufacturers PVT Limited (Goldenpalm) had no shipments during the POR. DATES : Applicable March 29, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Samuel Brummitt, AD/CVD Operations, Office III, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–7851. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On October 1, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this administrative review. 1 On January 26, 2022, Commerce extended these final results by an additional 60 days.2 The current deadline for these final results is March 30, 2022. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a complete description of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.3 Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are certain lined paper products from India. For a full description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily found that Goldenpalm had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Following the publication of the Preliminary Results, we received no comments from interested parties regarding Goldenpalm, nor has any party submitted record evidence which would call our preliminary determination of no shipments into question. Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find that Goldenpalm had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly, consistent with Commerce’s practice, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by Goldenpalm, but exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate.4 Application of Adverse Facts Available For these final results, we continue to find that Magic International Pvt. Ltd. and Marisa International withheld information requested by Commerce, failed to provide the requested information in a timely manner, and significantly impeded the proceeding, warranting a determination on the basis of the facts available under section 776(a) of the Act. Therefore, we continue to find that Magic International Pvt. Ltd. and Marisa International have not acted to the best of their abilities and the application of adverse facts available, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, is warranted. Rates for Non-Selected Companies For the rate for non-selected respondents in an administrative review, 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.
