Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final 
Partial Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances: Diamond 
Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 22, 2006.
SUMMARY: On December 29, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published its preliminary determination of sales at less 
than fair value (``LTFV'') and preliminary determination of partial 
affirmative critical circumstances in the antidumping investigation of 
certain diamond sawblades and parts thereof (``diamond sawblades'') 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The period of 
investigation (``POI'') is October 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. The 
investigation covers four manufacturers/exporters which are mandatory 
respondents and twenty-one separate rate applicants. We invited 
interested parties to comment on our preliminary determination of sales 
at LTFV and partial affirmative critical circumstances. Based on our 
analysis of the comments we received, we have made changes to our 
calculations for certain of the mandatory respondents and the weight-
averaged margins for the separate rate applicants.\1\ We have also 
granted a separate rate to four additional applicants. The final 
dumping margins for this investigation are listed in the ``Final 
Determination Margins'' section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Final Determination

    We determine that diamond sawblades from the PRC are being, or are 
likely to be, sold in the United States at LTFV as provided in section 
735 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). The estimated 
margins of sales at LTFV are shown in the ``Final Determination 
Margins'' section of this notice.

Case History

    The Department published its preliminary determination of sales at 
LTFV on December 29, 2005. See Preliminary Determination of Sales at 
Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination, and 
Preliminary Partial Determination of Critical Circumstances: Diamond 
Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 
77121 (December 29, 2005) (``Preliminary Determination''). The 
Department conducted verification of Bosun Tools Group Co., Ltd. 
(``Bosun''), Beijing Gang Yan Diamond Product Company (``BGY''), and 
Hebei Jikai Industrial Group Co. Ltd. (``Hebei Jikai'') (collectively, 
``respondents''), the three mandatory respondents participating in this 
investigation\2\ in both the PRC and the United States (where 
applicable), and Shanghai Deda Industry & Trading Co. Ltd. (``Shanghai 
Deda''), one of the separate rate applicants. See the ``Verification'' 
section below for additional information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ One mandatory respondent, Saint-Gobain Abrasives (Shanghai) 
Co., Ltd. (``Saint Gobain'') did not participate in this 
investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 6, 2006, the Department solicited comments from all 
interested parties regarding changes to its calculation of financial 
ratios. On February 7, 2006, Bosun and Petitioner submitted additional 
comments on the valuation of factors of production (``FOPs'') for the 
final determination. On February 13, 2006, BGY also submitted 
additional comments on the valuation of FOPs for the final 
determination. On February 21, 2006, Bosun submitted a rebuttal to 
Petitioner's February 7, 2006, comments.
    On February 1, 2006, the Department received a separate rate 
application from Qingdao Shinhan. The Department determined on February 
24, 2006, that Qingdao Shinhan's separate rate application was timely 
filed. See Memorandum to the File from Catherine Bertrand dated 
February 24, 2006. On March 22, 2006, the Department preliminarily 
determined that the information contained in Qingdao Shinhan's separate 
rate application demonstrated that it qualified for a separate rate in 
this investigation.
    We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. We 
received comments from the Diamond Sawblade Manufacturers' Coalition 
(``Petitioner''),

[[Page 29304]]

the mandatory respondents, Quanzhou Shuangyang Diamond Tool Co., Ltd. 
(``QSY''), Global, Robtol, Electrolux Construction Products (Xiamen) 
Co., Ltd. (``Electrolux''), and Huachang.
    On April 3, 2006, parties submitted case briefs. On April 10, 2006, 
parties submitted rebuttal briefs. On April 14, 2006, the Department 
rejected the case brief of Petitioner and the rebuttal briefs of 
Petitioner and BGY, because they contained unsolicited new factual 
information. Petitioner and BGY resubmitted their respective briefs on 
April 18, 2006.
    On January 6, 2006, Bosun requested that the Department hold a 
public hearing in this proceeding. On January 19, 2006, Petitioner 
requested the Department hold a public hearing in this proceeding. On 
April 3, 2006, Petitioner requested that the hearing held by the 
Department be a closed hearing. On April 25, 2006, the Department held 
a hearing in this proceeding.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to 
this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum 
for the Final Determination in the Investigation of Diamond Sawblades 
and parts thereof from the People's Republic of China, dated May 15, 
2006, which is hereby adopted by this notice (``Issues and Decision 
Memorandum''). A list of the issues which parties raised and to which 
we respond in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this 
notice as an Appendix. The Decision Memorandum is a public document and 
is on file in the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), Main Commerce 
Building, Room B-099, and is accessible on the Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper copy and electronic version of the memorandum 
are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of comments received, we have made changes in 
the margin calculation for Bosun, BGY, and Hebei Jikai as follows:
    The Department has revised the surrogate financial ratios to 
utilize a source placed on the record by Petitioner after the 
Preliminary Determination. See Issues and Decision Memorandum, at 
Comment 1 for a discussion of this issue. See also Memorandum to the 
File: Antidumping Duty Investigation of Diamond Sawblades and Parts 
Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Recalculation of Surrogate 
Financial Ratios for the Final Determination, dated May 15, 2006.

Bosun

    The Department made corrections to Bosun's factors of production 
(``FOP'') database based on the minor corrections submitted by Bosun on 
the first day of the PRC verification, and changes to Bosun's 
constructed export price (``CEP'') database based on the minor 
corrections submitted by Bosun on the first day of the U.S. sales 
verification. See Memorandum to the File: Verification of the Sales and 
Factors Response of Bosun Tools Group Co., Ltd. in the Antidumping 
Investigation of Diamond Saw Blades and Parts Thereof from the People's 
Republic of China dated March 24, 2006 (``Bosun PRC Verification 
Report''), at Exhibit 2; Memorandum to the File: Verification of the 
U.S. CEP Sales Response of Bosun Tools Group Co., Ltd. in the 
Antidumping Investigation of Diamond Saw Blades and Parts Thereof from 
the People's Republic of China dated March 27, 2006 (``Bosun US 
Verification Report'') at Exhibit 1 for a list of the corrections 
submitted by Bosun. For a description of how these changes were 
incorporated, see Memorandum to the File: Bosun Tools Group Co., Ltd. 
Program Analysis for the Final Determination dated May 15, 2006 
(``Bosun Final Analysis Memo''). The Department has also corrected 
three clerical errors identified by Bosun after the Preliminary 
Determination. See, e.g., Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 33; 
Bosun Final Analysis Memo.
    In addition, the Department made changes to Bosun's FOP and CEP 
databases based on comments received by Bosun and Petitioner. For a 
description of these changes, see Issues and Decision Memorandum, and 
Bosun Final Analysis Memo.

BGY

    Based on the Department's determination in the Preliminary 
Determination to treat as a single entity with BGY, Advanced Technology 
& Materials Co., Ltd. (``AT&M''), and Yichang HXF Circular Saw 
Industrial Co., Ltd (``HXF''), the Department requested U.S. sales and 
FOP databases from the AT&M single entity.\3\ The AT&M single entity 
certified that BGY and HXF were the only entities within the AT&M 
single entity to have exported, or sold for export, subject merchandise 
to the United States during the POI, and submitted complete U.S. sales 
and FOP information with respect to HXF. The Department has continued 
to find that BGY, AT&M, and HXF should be treated as a single entity 
for purposes of this final determination and, therefore, has 
incorporated HXF's and BGY's U.S. sales and FOP information in the 
calculation of a margin for the AT&M single entity. See ``Affiliation'' 
section below, and Memorandum to the File: Advanced Technology & 
Materials Co., Ltd. Entity Program Analysis for the Final 
Determination, dated May 15, 2006 (``AT&M Final Analysis Memo''), for a 
more detailed explanation of these changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ As discussed below under ``Affiliation,'' the AT&M entity 
includes BGY and HXF.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department made corrections to BGY's FOP database based on the 
minor corrections submitted by BGY on the first day of the PRC 
verification, and changes to BGY's CEP database based on the minor 
corrections submitted by BGY on the first day of the U.S. sales 
verification. See Memorandum to the File: Verification of the Sales and 
Factors Response of Beijing Gang Yan Diamond Product Company in the 
Antidumping Duty Investigation on Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof 
from the People's Republic of China, dated March 27, 2006 (``BGY 
Verification Report'') at Exhibit 3; Memorandum to the File: 
Verification of the Sales and Factors Response of Gang Yan Diamond 
Products, Inc. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation on Diamond 
Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China, dated 
March 27, 2006 (``GYDP Verification Report''). For a complete 
description of how these changes were made see AT&M Final Analysis 
Memo. See also Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 19.
    In addition, the Department made changes to the AT&M entity's FOP 
and U.S. sales databases based on comments received by parties. For a 
description of these changes see Issues and Decision Memorandum, and 
AT&M Final Analysis Memo.

Hebei Jikai

    The Department made corrections to Hebei Jikai's FOP database based 
on the minor corrections submitted by Hebei Jikai on the first day of 
the verification. See Memorandum to the File: Verification of the Sales 
and Factors Response of Hebei Jikai Industrial Group Co. Ltd. in the 
Antidumping Investigation of Diamond Saw Blades and Parts Thereof from 
the People's Republic of China dated March 23, 2006 (``Hebei Jikai 
Verification Report''), at Exhibit 1. The Department also made 
corrections to the gross weight in Hebei Jikai's U.S. sales database 
based on information collected at the verification of Hebei Jikai. See 
Hebei Jikai Verification Report at 3. For a

[[Page 29305]]

description of how these changes were incorporated in the final margin 
program, see Memorandum to the File: Hebei Jikai Industrial Group Co. 
Ltd. (``Hebei Jikai'') Program Analysis for the Final Determination, 
dated May 15, 2006 (``Hebei Jikai Final Analysis Memo'').
    In addition, the Department made changes to Hebei Jikai's FOP and 
U.S. sales databases based on comments received by Hebei Jikai and 
Petitioner. For a description of these changes see Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, and Hebei Jikai Final Analysis Memo.

Scope of Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are all finished 
circular sawblades, whether slotted or not, with a working part that is 
comprised of a diamond segment or segments, and parts thereof, 
regardless of specification or size, except as specifically excluded 
below. Within the scope of this investigation are semifinished diamond 
sawblades, including diamond sawblade cores and diamond sawblade 
segments. Diamond sawblade cores are circular steel plates, whether or 
not attached to non-steel plates, with slots. Diamond sawblade cores 
are manufactured principally, but not exclusively, from alloy steel. A 
diamond sawblade segment consists of a mixture of diamonds (whether 
natural or synthetic, and regardless of the quantity of diamonds) and 
metal powders (including, but not limited to, iron, cobalt, nickel, 
tungsten carbide) that are formed together into a solid shape (from 
generally, but not limited to, a heating and pressing process).
    Sawblades with diamonds directly attached to the core with a resin 
or electroplated bond, which thereby do not contain a diamond segment, 
are not included within the scope of the investigation. Diamond 
sawblades and/or sawblade cores with a thickness of less than 0.025 
inches, or with a thickness greater than 1.1 inches, are excluded from 
the scope of the investigation. Circular steel plates that have a 
cutting edge of non-diamond material, such as external teeth that 
protrude from the outer diameter of the plate, whether or not finished, 
are excluded from the scope of this investigation. Diamond sawblade 
cores with a Rockwell C hardness of less than 25 are excluded from the 
scope of the investigation. Diamond sawblades and/or diamond segment(s) 
with diamonds that predominantly have a mesh size number greater than 
240 (such as 250 or 260) are excluded from the scope of the 
investigation.
    Merchandise subject to this investigation is typically imported 
under heading 8202.39.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (``HTSUS''). When packaged together as a set for retail 
sale with an item that is separately classified under headings 8202 to 
8205 of the HTSUS, diamond sawblades or parts thereof may be imported 
under heading 8206.00.00.00 of the HTSUS. The tariff classifications 
are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
purposes; however, the written description of the scope of this 
investigation is dispositive.

Scope Rulings

    During the course of this investigation, the Department issued 
several scope rulings, all of which are affirmed through this final 
determination. Specifically, in the Preliminary Determination, the 
Department ruled that concave and convex cores, and finished diamond 
sawblades produced from such cores, are within the scope of this 
investigation. See Memorandum from Maisha Cryor, Senior International 
Trade Compliance Analyst, to Thomas F. Futtner, Acting Office Director, 
``Consideration of Scope Exclusion and Clarification Requests,'' dated 
December 20, 2005, at page 8. The Department also ruled that metal-
bonded 1A1R grinding wheels are within the scope of this investigation. 
Id. at 11. On April 7, 2006, the Department found granite contour 
diamond sawblades within the scope of the investigation. See Memorandum 
from Maisha Cryor, Senior International Trade Compliance Analyst, to 
Thomas F. Futtner, Acting Office Director, ``Consideration of Scope 
Exclusion Request,'' dated April 7, 2006. In this decision, the 
Department confirmed that the Rockwell C hardness threshold contained 
in the scope of the investigation applies only to cores, and not to 
finished diamond sawblades. Id. at 7. Lastly, the term ``sawblade'' is 
defined as those products that meet the 1A1R specification, where the 
segment thickness is larger than the thickness of the core. See 
Petitioner's May 3, 2005, submission at Exhibit I-10 (``The segment or 
rim is slightly wider than the steel blade to allow the attacking edge 
to penetrate the material without the steel blade rubbing against 
it''); Petitioner's May 10, 2005, submission, at page 14 (``the segment 
or rim is slightly wider than the steel blade to allow the attacking 
edge to penetrate the material without the steel blade rubbing against 
it''); Transcript to April 25, 2006, Public Hearing in the companion 
investigation of diamond sawblades from the People's Republic of China 
(statement by the petitioner that the ``international codes for 
sawblades are 1A1R, 1A1RS, and 1A1RSS, where the R means recessed. And 
that refers to the core, {where{time}  the core is thinner than the 
segments''); and ITC Investigation No. 731-TA-1093, August 2005 (``The 
segment, or rim, is slightly wider than the steel blade to permit the 
leading edge to penetrate the material without the steel blade rubbing 
against it and to discourage blade binding''). For this final 
determination, the Department has determined not to revise the scope of 
the investigation. See also Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 
3.

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, we verified the 
information submitted by the respondents and one separate rate 
applicant for use in our final determination. See the Department's 
verification reports on the record of this investigation in the CRU 
with respect to Bosun, BGY, Hebei Jikai, and Shanghai Deda. For all 
verified companies, we used standard verification procedures, including 
examination of relevant accounting and production records, as well as 
original source documents provided by respondents.

Critical Circumstances

    On November 21, 2005, Petitioner alleged that there is a reasonable 
basis to believe or suspect critical circumstances exist with respect 
to the antidumping investigations of diamond sawblades and parts 
thereof from the PRC. In the Preliminary Determination, the Department 
found that critical circumstances exist for imports of diamond 
sawblades from Bosun and the PRC-wide entity, but that critical 
circumstances did not exist for the preliminary separate rate 
applicants, BGY, or Hebei Jikai. See Memorandum to Stephen J. Claeys: 
Antidumping Duty Investigation of Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof 
from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Partial Affirmative 
Determination of Critical Circumstances, dated December 20, 2005 
(``Prelim Critical Circumstances Memo''). Based on the changes made to 
Bosun, BGY, Hebei Jikai, and the final separate rate companies' 
margins, and as discussed further in the Issues and Decision Memorandum 
at Comment 10, the Department has re-examined its preliminary finding 
that critical circumstances exist for imports of diamond sawblades from 
Bosun, and Hebei Jikai, and the PRC-wide entity, but that critical 
circumstances did not exist for the AT&M entity. In addition,

[[Page 29306]]

the Department has examined the final separate rate companies.
    Section 735(2)(3) of the Act provides that a final critical 
circumstances determination will include a finding that: (A)(i) There 
is a history of dumping and material injury by reason of dumped imports 
in the United States or elsewhere of the subject merchandise; or (ii) 
the person by whom, or for whose account, the merchandise was imported 
knew or should have known that the exporter was selling the subject 
merchandise at less than its fair value and that there was likely to be 
material injury by reason of such sales; and (B) there have been 
massive imports of the subject merchandise over a relatively short 
period. Section 351.206(h)(1) of the Department's regulations provides 
that, in determining whether imports of the subject merchandise have 
been ``massive,'' the Department normally will examine: (i) the volume 
and value of the imports; (ii) seasonal trends; and (iii) the share of 
domestic consumption accounted for by the imports. In addition, section 
351.206(h)(2) of the Department's regulations provides that an increase 
in imports of 15 percent during the ``relatively short period'' of time 
may be considered ``massive.''
    As discussed in detail in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 
Comment 10, the Department continues to find that there is a reasonable 
basis to believe or suspect that the importer knew or should have known 
that there was likely to be material injury by means of sales at LTFV 
of subject merchandise from the PRC. In the Preliminary Determination, 
the Department found that (1) Bosun and the PRC-wide entity had margins 
of more than 25 percent for export price sales and more than 15 percent 
for constructed export price sales, and (2) BGY, Hebei Jikai, and the 
preliminary separate rate applicants did not have margins of more than 
25 percent for export price sales and more than 15 percent for 
constructed export price sales. See Prelim Critical Circumstances Memo 
at Attachment II. For this final determination, Bosun, Hebei Jikai, and 
the PRC-wide entity each have margins of more than 25 percent for 
export price sales and more than 15 percent for constructed export 
price sales, while the AT&M single entity and the final separate rate 
companies have margins less than 25 percent for export price sales and 
more than 15 percent for constructed export price sales. Therefore, the 
Department finds, for this final determination, that Bosun, Hebei 
Jikai, and the PRC-wide entity have sufficient margins to impute 
importer knowledge of sales at less than fair value. See, e.g., Carbon 
and Alloy Steel Wire Rod From Germany, Mexico, Moldova, Trinidad and 
Tobago, and Ukraine: Notice of Preliminary Determination of Critical 
Circumstances, 67 FR 6224, 6225 (February 11, 2002); Issues and 
Decision Memorandum at Comment 10. However, the AT&M single entity and 
the final separate rate companies' margins are insufficient to impute 
importer knowledge of sales at less than fair value. In addition, as no 
party in this proceeding has called into question the Department's 
preliminary determination of massive imports with respect to Bosun, 
BGY, Hebei Jikai, the final separate rate companies, and the PRC-wide 
entity, the Department also continues to find that there have been 
massive imports of the subject merchandise over a relatively short 
period for Bosun, the AT&M single entity, Hebei Jikai, the final 
separate rate companies, and the PRC-wide entity. See Issues and 
Decision Memorandum at Comment 10 and Prelim Critical Circumstances 
Memo at Attachment I.
    Therefore, given the analysis summarized above, and described in 
more detail in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 10, we 
determine that critical circumstances exist for imports of diamond 
sawblades from Bosun, Hebei Jikai, and the PRC-wide entity. However, we 
do not find that critical circumstances exist for the AT&M single 
entity or the final separate rate companies.

Surrogate Country

    In the Preliminary Determination, we stated that we had selected 
India as the appropriate surrogate country to use in this investigation 
for the following reasons: (1) It is a significant producer of 
comparable merchandise; (2) it is at a similar level of economic 
development pursuant to 773(c)(4) of the Act; and (3) we have reliable 
data from India that we can use to value the factors of production. See 
Preliminary Determination, 70 FR at 77124-77125. For the final 
determination, we made no changes to our findings with respect to the 
selection of a surrogate country.

Affiliation

    In the Preliminary Determination, based on the evidence on the 
record, we preliminarily found that BGY was affiliated with AT&M and 
HXF pursuant to sections 771(33)(E), (F), and (G) of the Act. In 
addition, based on the evidence presented in BGY's questionnaire 
responses, we preliminarily found that BGY, HXF, and AT&M should be 
treated as a single entity for the purposes of the antidumping duty 
investigation of diamond sawblades from the PRC. See Memorandum to the 
File from Anya Naschak: Affiliation and Treatment as a Single Entity of 
Beijing Gang Yan Diamond Product Company, Advanced Technology & 
Materials Co., Ltd., and Yichang HXF Circular Saw Industrial Co., Ltd.; 
Affiliation of Gang Yan Diamond Products, Inc. and Beijing Gang Yan 
Diamond Product Company; and Affiliation of Gang Yan Diamond Products, 
Inc., SANC Materials, Inc., and Cliff (Tianjin) International, Ltd., 
dated December 20, 2005 (``AT&M Affiliation Memo''). This finding was 
based on the determination that BGY, HXF, and AT&M are affiliated, that 
BGY and HXF have production facilities for ``identical products,'' and 
no substantial retooling of either facility would be necessary in order 
to ``restructure manufacturing priorities.'' See 19 CFR 351.401(f)(1). 
Additionally, based on levels of common ownership and control, and 
intertwined operations, the Department found that there is significant 
potential for manipulation of price or production between the parties. 
See 19 CFR 351.401(f)(2). Accordingly, the Department requested after 
the Preliminary Determination that the AT&M single entity provide 
complete responses to sections C and D of the Department's 
questionnaire with respect to all of the AT&M single entity's sales to 
the first U.S. unaffiliated customer and factors of production for 
these sales. See Letter from Carrie Blozy to BGY dated December 23, 
2005. On January 26, 2006, the AT&M Group submitted the requested 
information. Based on the information contained in the AT&M single 
entity's responses to date, and based on information collected at 
verification (see BGY Verification Report), the Department finds no 
evidence to countermand the Department's finding in the Preliminary 
Determination that BGY, HXF, and AT&M are affiliated pursuant to 
sections 771(33)(E), (F), and (G) of the Act, and that these companies 
should be treated as a single entity for the purposes of the 
antidumping duty investigation of diamond sawblades from the PRC, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.401(f)(1) and (2). Therefore, the Department 
continues to find, for this final determination, that BGY, HXF, and 
AT&M are a single entity, and will calculate a single antidumping 
margin for the AT&M entity.
    In addition, the Department also found in its Preliminary 
Determination that Gang Yan Diamond Products, Inc. (``GYDP''), is 
affiliated with BGY, pursuant to section 771(33)(E) of the Act, and 
that GYDP, SANC Materials, Inc. (``SANC''), and Cliff (Tianjin)

[[Page 29307]]

International, Ltd. (``Cliff'') are affiliated with each other pursuant 
to sections 771(33)(B), (E), and (F) of the Act. See BGY Affiliation 
Memo. Since the Preliminary Determination, the Department has found no 
information that would rebut this determination. Therefore, the 
Department continues to find GYDP, SANC, and Cliff to be affiliated 
with each other pursuant to sections 771(33)(B), (E), and (F) of the 
Act, and that BGY and GYDP are affiliated with each other pursuant to 
section 771(33)(E) of the Act, for this final determination.

Separate Rates

    In proceedings involving non-market-economy (``NME'') countries, 
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies 
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should 
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the 
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to 
an investigation in an NME country this single rate unless an exporter 
can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to be 
entitled to a separate rate. See Notice of Final Determination of Sales 
at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic of China, 
56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991) (``Sparklers''), as amplified by Notice of 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide 
from the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994) 
(``Silicon Carbide''), and Section 351.107(d) of the Department's 
regulations.
    In the Preliminary Determination, we found that BGY, Bosun, Hebei 
Jikai, and the Separate Rate Applicants demonstrated their eligibility 
for separate-rate status. For the final determination, we continue to 
find that the evidence placed on the record of this investigation by 
the AT&M entity, Bosun, Hebei Jikai, and the Separate Rate Applicants 
demonstrate both a de jure and de facto absence of government control, 
with respect to their respective exports of the merchandise under 
investigation, and, thus are eligible for separate rate status.

The AT&M Single Entity

    With respect to the AT&M single entity, in the Preliminary 
Determination, based on the evidence on the record, we preliminarily 
found that BGY had both de jure and de facto control over its export 
activities, but noted that the Department would further examine this 
issue for the final determination. In light of the Department's 
decision in the Preliminary Determination that BGY was affiliated with 
AT&M and HXF, and that BGY, AT&M, and HXF should be treated as a single 
entity, the Department further examined AT&M, BGY, and HXF's claim to a 
separate rate.
    The Department finds, based on information submitted on the record 
of this proceeding after the Preliminary Determination, that the AT&M 
single entity has demonstrated both a de jure and de facto absence of 
government control and should be granted a separate rate. As discussed 
further in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 16, the 
evidence provided by HXF and AT&M after the Preliminary Determination 
supports a finding of de jure absence of governmental control based on 
the following: (1) An absence of restrictive stipulations associated 
with the individual exporter's business and export licenses; (2) the 
applicable legislative enactments decentralizing control of the 
companies; and (3) any other formal measures by the government 
decentralizing control of companies.\4\ The evidence on the record with 
respect to HXF also supports a finding of de facto absence of 
governmental control based on record statements and supporting 
documentation showing the following: (1) It sets its own export prices 
independent of the government and without the approval of a government 
authority; (2) it retains the proceeds from its sales and makes 
independent decisions regarding disposition of profits or financing of 
losses; (3) it has the authority to negotiate and sign contracts and 
other agreements; and (4) it has autonomy from the government regarding 
the selection of management. See Silicon Carbide, 59 FR at 22586-87. 
Therefore, because the Department found no evidence that AT&M made 
shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POI, 
and because AT&M is a single entity including BGY and HXF, and BGY and 
HXF have demonstrated a de facto independence from government control, 
we find that the AT&M single entity has demonstrated a de facto 
independence from government control with respect to its export 
activities. See Issues and Decision Memorandum, at Comment 16.

Other Separate Rate Applicants

    Additionally, in the Preliminary Determination, the Department 
considered for a separate rate only the seventeen applicants whose 
applications were considered complete by the sixty-day deadline 
established by the application, and these companies, the Separate Rate 
Applicants, were granted a separate rate. For the final determination, 
we continue to find that the evidence placed on the record of this 
investigation for the Separate Rate Applicants that we granted a 
separate rate to in the Preliminary Determination demonstrates a de 
jure and de facto absence of government control, with respect to their 
respective exports of the merchandise under investigation, and, thus 
are eligible for separate rate status. Therefore, for the final 
determination we are continuing to grant these seventeen applicants a 
separate rate.
    On February 1, 2006, the Department received a separate rate 
application from Qingdao Shinhan, and determined that Qingdao Shinhan's 
separate rate application was timely filed. See Memorandum to the File 
from Catherine Bertrand dated February 24, 2006. On March 22, 2006, the 
Department preliminarily determined that the information contained in 
Qingdao Shinhan's separate rate application demonstrated that it 
qualified for a separate rate in this investigation. See Memorandum to 
the File from Catherine Bertrand: Separate Rates Application of Qingdao 
Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. dated March 22, 2006. For the 
final determination, we continue to find that the evidence placed on 
the record of this investigation by Qingdao Shinhan demonstrates an 
absence of government control, both in law and in fact, with respect to 
its exports of the merchandise under investigation, and, thus is 
eligible for separate rate status. For a further discussion of this 
issue See Issues and Decision Memo at Comment 15.
    In addition, the Department received case briefs from QSY, Global, 
Robtol, Electrolux, and Huachang, arguing that the Department should 
grant these companies a separate rate. These companies had been denied 
a separate rate in the Preliminary Determination because the Department 
determined these applications were not filed in a complete manner by 
the deadline. See Memorandum to James C. Doyle from Carrie Blozy: 
Antidumping Investigation of Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from 
the People's Republic of China: Deficient Separate Rate Applications, 
dated October 12, 2005.
    With respect to Global, Robtol, and Huachang the Department finds 
that, after analyzing their separate rates applications, these 
companies have demonstrated both a de jure and de facto absence of 
government control and should be granted a separate rate. The evidence 
provided by these companies in their respective separate rates 
applications supports a finding of de

[[Page 29308]]

jure absence of governmental control based on the following: (1) An 
absence of restrictive stipulations associated with the individual 
exporter's business and export licenses; (2) the applicable legislative 
enactments decentralizing control of the companies; and (3) any other 
formal measures by the government decentralizing control of companies. 
See, e.g., Sparklers, 56 FR 20588 and Silicon Carbide, 59 FR 22586-87. 
The evidence on the record with respect to these companies also 
supports a finding of de facto absence of governmental control based on 
record statements and supporting documentation showing the following 
for each company: (1) It sets its own export prices independent of the 
government and without the approval of a government authority; (2) it 
retains the proceeds from its sales and makes independent decisions 
regarding disposition of profits or financing of losses; (3) it has the 
authority to negotiate and sign contracts and other agreements; and (4) 
it has autonomy from the government regarding the selection of 
management. See Sparklers, 56 FR 20589; Silicon Carbide, 59 FR 22586-
87. Therefore, the Department is granting Global, Robol, and Huachang a 
separate rate. See Issues and Decision Memorandum, at Comment 13 and 14 
for a further discussion of this issue.
    Further, the Department is continuing to deny a separate rate to 
QSY and Electrolux because the Department still finds that the separate 
rate applications of QSY and Electrolux are deficient. Therefore, the 
Department will not conduct a separate rates analysis for these two 
companies. See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 12 and 14.

The PRC-Wide Rate

    In the Preliminary Determination, the Department found that certain 
companies and the PRC-wide entity did not respond to our request for 
Q&V information and Saint Gobain, one of the largest exporters of the 
merchandise under investigation,\5\ did not respond to the Department's 
questionnaire. In the Preliminary Determination we treated these PRC 
producers/exporters as part of the PRC-wide entity because they did not 
demonstrate that they operate free of government control. No additional 
information has been placed on the record with respect to these 
entities after the Preliminary Determination. The PRC-wide entity, 
including Saint Gobain, has not provided the Department with the 
requested information. Therefore, pursuant to section 776(a)(2)(A) of 
the Act, the Department continues to find that the use of facts 
available is appropriate to determine the PRC-wide rate. Section 776(b) 
of the Act provides that, in selecting from among the facts otherwise 
available, the Department may employ an adverse inference if an 
interested party fails to cooperate by not acting to the best of its 
ability to comply with requests for information. See Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Cold-Rolled 
Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products from the Russian Federation, 
65 FR 5510, 5518 (February 4, 2000). See also ``Statement of 
Administrative Action'' accompanying the URAA, H.R. Rep. No. 103-316, 
870 (1994) (``SAA''). We find that, because the PRC-wide entity did not 
respond to our request for information, it has failed to cooperate to 
the best of its ability. Therefore, the Department finds that, in 
selecting from among the facts otherwise available, an adverse 
inference is appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Respondent Selection Memo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because we begin with the presumption that all companies within a 
NME country are subject to government control and because only the 
companies listed under the ``Final Determination Margins'' section 
below have overcome that presumption, we are applying a single 
antidumping rate--the PRC-wide rate--to all other exporters of subject 
merchandise from the PRC. Such companies did not demonstrate 
entitlement to a separate rate. See, e.g., Final Determination of Sales 
at Less Than Fair Value: Synthetic Indigo from the People's Republic of 
China, 65 FR 25706 (May 3, 2000). The PRC-wide rate applies to all 
entries of subject merchandise except for entries from the respondents 
which are listed in the ``Final Determination Margins'' section below 
(except as noted).

Corroboration

    At the Preliminary Determination, in accordance with section 776(c) 
of the Act, we corroborated our adverse facts available (``AFA'') 
margin using information submitted by certain respondents. See 
Memorandum to the File: Corroboration of the PRC-Wide Facts Available 
Rate for the Preliminary Determination in the Antidumping Duty 
Investigation of Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's 
Republic of China, dated December 20, 2005 (``Corroboration Memo''). 
The Statement of Administration Action also clarifies that 
``corroborate'' means that the Department will satisfy itself that the 
secondary information to be used has probative value, i.e., reliable 
and relevant. See ``Statement of Administrative Action'' accompanying 
the URAA, H.R. Rep. No. 103-316, 870 (1994) (``SAA'') at 870.
    To assess the probative value of the total AFA rate it has chosen 
for Saint Gobain and the PRC-wide entity, the Department compared the 
final margin calculations of certain respondents in this investigation 
with the rate of 164.09 percent from the petition. We find that the 
rate is within the range of the highest margins we have determined in 
this investigation. See Memorandum to the File: Corroboration of the 
PRC-Wide Facts Available Rate for the Final Determination in the 
Antidumping Duty Investigation of Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof 
from the People's Republic of China, dated May 15, 2006 (``Final 
Corroboration Memo''). Since the record of this investigation contains 
margins within the range of the petition margin, we determine that the 
rate from the petition continues to be relevant for use in this 
investigation. As discussed therein, we found that the margin of 164.09 
percent has probative value. See Final Corroboration Memo. Accordingly, 
we find that the rate of 164.09 percent is corroborated within the 
meaning of section 776(c) of the Act.

Combination Rates

    In the Initiation Notice, the Department stated that it would 
calculate combination rates for certain respondents that are eligible 
for a separate rate in this investigation. See Initiation Notice, 70 FR 
35625, 35629. This change in practice is described in Policy Bulletin 
05.1, available at http://www.trade.gov/ia/. The Policy Bulletin 05.1 
states:
    ``[lsqb]w[rsqb]hile continuing the practice of assigning separate 
rates only to exporters, all separate rates that the Department will 
now assign in its NME investigations will be specific to those 
producers that supplied the exporter during the period of 
investigation. Note, however, that one rate is calculated for the 
exporter and all of the producers which supplied subject merchandise to 
it during the period of investigation. This practice applies both to 
mandatory respondents receiving an individually calculated separate 
rate as well as the pool of non-investigated firms receiving the 
weighted-average of the individually calculated rates. This practice is 
referred to as the application of ``combination rates'' because such 
rates apply to specific combinations of exporters and one or more 
producers. The cash-deposit rate assigned to an exporter will apply 
only to merchandise

[[Page 29309]]

both exported by the firm in question and produced by a firm that 
supplied the exporter during the period of investigation.'' See Policy 
Bulletin 05.1, at page 6.
Therefore, for the final determination, we have assigned a combination 
rate to respondents that are eligible for a separate rate.
    As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 18, 
the Department will continue to not issue a combination rate for 
exports made by Cliff and manufactured by BGY, as these sales were made 
by BGY. Further, the Department continues to find that BGY should be 
treated as a single entity with AT&M and HXF, and the AT&M single 
entity has demonstrated its eligibility for a separate rate in this 
case. Therefore, the Department will apply a single combination rate 
for the AT&M single entity as the producer and exporter. However, 
exports where Cliff acted as a facilitator for the AT&M single entity 
are eligible to claim AT&M's antidumping duty cash deposit rate. For a 
further discussion of this issue, see Issues and Decision Memorandum, 
at Comments 16-18.

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the 
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to suspend liquidation of all 
entries of subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption as follows: for the final separate rate 
companies, on or after the date of publication of the Preliminary 
Determination in the Federal Register, December 29, 2005; for Bosun, 
Hebei Jikai, and the PRC-wide entity, on or after the date which is 90 
days prior to the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, 
September 30, 2005, due to the final determination of critical 
circumstances. See e.g., Preliminary Determination; Issues and Decision 
Memorandum at Comment 10. CBP shall continue to require a cash deposit 
or the posting of a bond equal to the estimated amount by which the 
normal value exceeds the U.S. price as shown above. In addition, with 
respect to the AT&M single entity, in the Preliminary Determination, 
due to BGY's de minimus preliminary margin, the Department did not 
require any cash deposit or posting of a bond. However, based on this 
final determination that the AT&M single entity does not have a de 
minimus margin rate, the Department will instruct CBP to suspend 
liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise from the AT&M single 
entity\7\ entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or 
after the date of publication of the Final Determination in the Federal 
Register. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in 
effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Including BGY and HXF.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITC Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we have notified the 
ITC of our final determination of sales at LTFV. As our final 
determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of 
the Act, within 45 days the ITC will determine whether the domestic 
industry in the United States is

[[Page 29310]]

materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of 
imports or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of the 
subject merchandise. 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, the Department will 
issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess 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 APO

    This notice also serves as a reminder to 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. Timely notification of return or 
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This determination and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
