SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in the LTFV 
investigation of PTFE resin from India on May 7, 2018.\1\ For a 
complete description of the events that followed the Preliminary 
Determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\

Measures, 83 FR 20035 (May 7, 2018) and accompanying Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum (Preliminary Decision Memorandum) (collectively, 
Preliminary Determination).
    \2\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the 
Final Affirmative Determination in the Less than Fair Value 
Investigation of Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from India,'' dated 
concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and 
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period of Investigation

    The period of investigation is July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017.

For a full description of the scope of this investigation, see the 
``Scope of the Investigation'' in Appendix I of this notice.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were 
submitted by

[[Page 48595]]

parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum. A list of issues raised is attached to this notice at 
Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document 
and is made available to the public via Enforcement and Compliance's 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service 
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and to all parties in Commerce's Central Records Unit, 
Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a 
complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed 
directly on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, in May and June 2018, we 
conducted verification of the information reported by the mandatory 
respondent Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd. (GFL) for use in our final 
determination. We used standard verification procedures, including an 
examination of relevant accounting and production records and original 
source documents provided by the respondents.

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination and Use of Adverse Facts 
Available

    Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at 
verification, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for 
GFL, including the application of facts available with an adverse 
inference pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act.\3\ For a discussion of 
these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See the ``Discussion of the Issues'' section of the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum; see also Memorandum, ``Final Determination 
Analysis Memorandum for Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd.,'' (GFL Final 
Analysis Memorandum) dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

All-Others Rate

    Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that in the final 
determination Commerce shall determine an estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin for all exporters or producers not individually 
examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of 
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for 
exporters or producers individually examined, excluding any rates that 
are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the 
Act. In this investigation, we determined a calculated rate for GFL, 
the one mandatory respondent in this investigation, that is not zero, 
de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. 
Consequently, the rate calculated for this respondent is also assigned 
as the rate for all-other producers and exporters in this 
investigation.

Final Determination

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margins exist:

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this 
proceeding within five days after public announcement of the final 
determination or, if there is no public announcement, within five days 
of the date of publication of the notice of final determination in the 
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See GFL Final Analysis Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 
suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of PTFE resin from India 
as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 7, 2018, the 
date of publication of the Preliminary Determination of this 
investigation in the Federal Register.
    Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), 
Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit as follows: (1) 
The cash deposit rate for the respondent listed above under the Final 
Determination section will be equal to its estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified 
above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to 
the respondent-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin 
established for that producer of the subject merchandise; (3) for all 
other producers or exporters of PTFE resin to the United States, the 
cash deposit rate will be equal to the all-others rate. These 
suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until 
further notice.

International Trade Commission Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify 
the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its final determination. 
Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in 
accordance with section 735(b)(2)(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 PTFE resin from India no later than 45 days after 
Commerce's final determination. If the ITC determines that material 
injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will 
be terminated, and all securities posted will be refunded or canceled. 
If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue 
an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further 
instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on appropriate 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 Order

    This notice will serve as a reminder to the parties subject to 
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 written 
notification of 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.
    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: September 19, 2018.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
