referral from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in connection 
with a CBP Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) investigation concerning the 
antidumping duty (AD) order on hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blends from the 
People's Republic of China (China). In accordance with EAPA, Commerce 
intends to determine whether the merchandise subject to the referral is 
covered by the scope of the order and promptly transmit its

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Manuel Rey at (202) 482-5518, AD/CVD 
Operations Office II, Enforcement & Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 24, 2016, the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement 
Act of 2015 was signed into law, which contains Title IV-Prevention of 
Evasion of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders (short title 
``Enforce and Protect Act of 2015'' or ``EAPA'') (Pub. L. 114-125, 130 
Stat. 122, 155, Feb. 24, 2016). Effective August 22, 2016, section 421 
of the EAPA added section 517 to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), which establishes a formal process for CBP to investigate 
allegations of the evasion of antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/
CVD) orders. Section 517(b)(4)(A) of the Act provides a procedure 
whereby if, during the course of an EAPA investigation, CBP is unable 
to determine whether the merchandise at issue is covered merchandise 
within the meaning of section 517(a)(3) of the Act, it shall refer the 
matter to Commerce to make such a determination. Section 517(a)(3) of 
the Act defines covered merchandise as merchandise that is subject to 
an antidumping duty order issued under section 736 of the Act or a 
countervailing duty order issued under section 706 of the Act. Section 
517(b)(4)(B) of the Act states that Commerce, after receiving a covered 
merchandise referral from CBP, shall determine whether the merchandise 
is covered merchandise and promptly transmit its determination to CBP. 
The Act does not establish a deadline within which Commerce must issue 
its determination.
    On December 4, 2017, Commerce received a covered merchandise 
referral from CBP regarding CBP EAPA Investigation No. 7212 \1\ which 
concerns the AD order on HFCs from China.\2\ Specifically, based on an 
allegation by RMS of Georgia d/b/a Choice
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Letter from CBP, ``EAPA Case Number: 7212; Scope 
Referral Request for merchandise under EAPA Investigation 7212, 
imported by LM Supply, Inc. and concerning the investigation of 
evasion of the antidumping duty order on hydrofluorocarbon blends 
from the People's Republic of China (A-570-028),'' dated December 4, 
2017. This document and any supporting documents will be available 
electronically on Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping Duty and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) 
within five days of publication of this notice.

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

    Refrigerants, CBP has requested that Commerce issue a determination 
as to whether certain merchandise imported by LM Supply, Inc. (LM 
Supply) is subject to the AD order on HFCs from China. Specifically, 
CBP asked Commerce to clarify: (1) If the scope exclusion for 
Choice[supreg] R-421A is limited to only merchandise that is licensed 
by the rights holder or does it apply to any HFC blends that satisfy 
the terms of the patents, and (2) if the scope exclusion is limited to 
only that merchandise that also carries the trademarks indicated in the 
scope exclusion.

Notification to Interested Parties

    Commerce is hereby notifying interested parties that it has 
received the covered merchandise referral referenced above, will begin 
a new segment of the proceeding, and intends to issue a determination 
regarding whether the merchandise subject to the referral is covered 
merchandise within the meaning of section 517(a)(3) of the Act. 
Additionally, Commerce intends to provide interested parties with the 
opportunity to participate in this segment of the proceeding, including 
through the submission of comments, and, if appropriate, new factual 
information and verification. Specifically, Commerce will notify 
parties on the segment-specific service list for this segment of the 
proceeding of a schedule for comments. In addition, Commerce may 
request factual information from any person to assist in making its 
determination and may verify submissions of factual information, if 
Commerce determines that such verification is appropriate. Commerce 
intends to issue a final determination within 120 days of the 
publication of this notice (this deadline

[[Page 9278]]

may be extended if it is not practicable to complete the final 
determination within 120 days), and will promptly transmit its final 
determination to CBP in accordance with section 517(b)(4)(B) of the 
Act.
    Parties are also hereby notified that this is the only notice that 
Commerce intends to publish in the Federal Register concerning this 
covered merchandise referral. Therefore, interested parties that wish 
to participate in this segment of the proceeding, and receive notice of 
the final determination, must submit their letters of appearance, as 
discussed below. Further, any party desiring access to business 
proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding must file an 
application for access to business proprietary information under 
administrative protective order (APO), as discussed below.
    Finally, we note that covered merchandise referrals constitute a 
new type of segment of a proceeding at Commerce and, therefore, 
Commerce will continue to develop its practice and procedures in this 
area. Additionally, we note that Commerce has received a scope ruling 
request concerning merchandise which may be similar to the merchandise 
at issue in the covered merchandise referral referenced above.\3\ Thus, 
Commerce may consider any potential overlapping issues in these 
separate segments of the proceeding.
