Final Determination Scope Decision Memorandum or the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum accompanying this notice, which is hereby adopted 
by this notice. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice at Appendix II.

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act''), in June 2016, we verified the sales and factors of 
production information submitted by Powermach Import & Export Co., Ltd. 
(``Powermach''),\4\ the sole participating individually examined 
respondent. We used standard verification procedures, including an 
examination of relevant accounting and production records, and original 
source documents provided by Powermach.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ We have continued to treat Powermach Import & Export Co., 
Ltd., Sichuan Dawn Precision Technology Co., Ltd., Sichuan Dawn 
Foundry Co., Ltd., and Powermach Co., Ltd. as a single entity based 
upon consideration of the factors in 19 CFR 351.401(f). See 
Memorandum from Krisha Hill, International Trade Analyst, AD/CVD

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    In the Preliminary Determination, the Department granted separate-
rate status to all of the companies which provided separate rates 
information, except NOK (Wuxi) Vibration Control China Co. Ltd. 
(``NVCC''), which withdrew from participation as a mandatory respondent 
in this investigation, and Baldor Electric Canada (``Baldor'') and 
Yueqing Bethel Shaft Collar Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (``Yueqing 
Bethel''), which failed to respond to the Department's request for 
supplemental information. In this final determination, the Department 
has continued to treat these three companies as part of the PRC-wide 
entity and is also treating Zhejiang Dongxing Auto Parts Co., Ltd. 
(``Dongxing'') as part of the PRC-wide entity. For a full discussion of 
the Department's separate rates determinations with respect to Baldor, 
Yueqing Bethel, and Dongxing (no parties commented on the Department's 
separate rate determination with respect to NVCC)

Changes to the Dumping Margin Calculations Since the Preliminary 
Determination

    Based on the Department's analysis of the comments received and 
findings at verification, we made certain changes to our dumping margin 
calculations. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.

Dumping Margins for Non-Individually Examined Respondents

    Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the estimated rate for all 
companies that have not been individually examined is normally equal to 
the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins 
established for exporters and producers individually examined, 
excluding any zero and de minimis dumping margins, and any dumping 
margins determined entirely on the basis of facts available. In this 
final determination, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin 
for Powermach (the only cooperating mandatory respondent) which is not 
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Accordingly, we 
assigned Powermach's weighted-average dumping margin to non-
individually examined PRC exporters qualifying for a separate rate.

PRC-Wide Rate

    In our Preliminary Determination, we found that the PRC-wide 
entity, which includes certain PRC exporters and/or producers that did 
not respond to the Department's requests for information, failed to 
provide necessary information, failed to provide information in a 
timely manner, and significantly impeded this proceeding by not 
submitting the requested information. We also find that they failed to 
cooperate. As a result, we preliminarily determined to calculate the 
PRC-wide dumping margin on the basis of adverse facts available 
(``AFA'') pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. We compared the 
petition dumping margins to the dumping margins that we calculated for 
Powermach, the participating individually examined respondent, in order 
to determine the probative value of the dumping margins in the petition 
for use as AFA. We continue to find that the highest petition dumping 
margin, 401.68 percent, is reliable and relevant because it is within 
the range of the transaction-specific dumping margins on the record for 
Powermach. Therefore, we assigned this dumping margin (i.e., 401.68 
percent) to the PRC-wide entity.

Combination Rates

    In the Initiation Notice, the Department stated that it would 
calculate combination rates for the respondents that are eligible for a 
separate rate in this investigation.\6\ Policy Bulletin 05.1 describes 
this practice.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Initiation Notice, 81 FR at 9438-39.
    \7\ 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,'' dated April 5, 2005 (Policy Bulletin 05.1), available 
on the Department's Web site at http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination Dumping Margins

    For this final determination, the Department determines that IMTDC 
are being or likely to be sold in the United States at LTFV, as 
provided in section 735 of the Act. The Department determines that the 
following weighted-average dumping margins exist during the period 
April 1, 2015, through September 30, 2015:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to continue to 
suspend liquidation of all entries of IMTDC from the PRC, which were 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 
8, 2016, the date of publication in the Federal Register of the 
affirmative Preliminary Determination. Further,

[[Page 75035]]

pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, the Department will 
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the amount by which the 
normal value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted where appropriate for export 
subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through,\8\ as follows: 
(1) For the exporter/producer combinations listed in the table above, 
the cash deposit rate is the weighted-average dumping margin listed for 
that combination in the table; (2) for all combinations of PRC 
exporters/producers of merchandise under consideration not listed in 
the table above, the cash deposit rate is the weighted average dumping 
margin listed for the PRC-wide entity in the table above; and (3) for 
all non-PRC exporters of merchandise under consideration not listed in 
the table above, the cash deposit rate is the cash deposit rate 
applicable to the PRC exporter/producer combination that supplied that 
non-PRC exporter. The suspension of liquidation instructions will 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See sections 772(c)(1)(C) and 777A(f) of the Act, 
respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In a LTFV investigation with a companion countervailing duty 
(``CVD'') investigation, we normally adjust antidumping duty cash 
deposit rates by the amount of export subsidies, where appropriate. In 
the companion CVD investigation, we found that Powermach did not 
receive export subsidies. The countervailing duty rate for all-others 
companies in the CVD case is based on Powermach's countervailing duty 
rate, and thus all-others companies were not assigned an export subsidy 
rate. Therefore, no offset to Powermach's or the separate rate 
entities' antidumping duty cash deposit rates for export subsidies is 
necessary. Additionally, we likewise are not adjusting the antidumping 
duty cash deposit rate applicable to the PRC-wide entity for export 
subsidies.
    Pursuant to 777A(f) of the Act, we are not adjusting the 
antidumping duty cash deposit rates for estimated domestic subsidy 
pass-through. Based on the data on the record of this investigation, 
the Department continues to find that there was not a general decrease 
in the U.S. average import price during the relevant period. Thus, the 
Department continues to find that the requirement under section 
777A(f)(1)(B) of the Act has not been met, and has not made an 
adjustment to the antidumping duty cash deposit rates under section 
777A(f) of the Act.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose to parties in this proceeding the 
calculations performed for this final determination within five days of 
the date of public announcement of our final determination, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

International Trade Commission (``ITC'') Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
ITC of our 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 IMTDC from the PRC no later than 45 days after our 
final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury does not 
exist, this 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, upon further instruction by the Department, 
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 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. 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination in accordance with 
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c).

    Dated: October 21, 2016.

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are iron mechanical 
transfer drive components, whether finished or unfinished (i.e., 
blanks or castings). Subject iron mechanical transfer drive 
components are in the form of wheels or cylinders with a center bore 
hole that may have one or more grooves or teeth in their outer 
circumference that guide or mesh with a flat or ribbed belt or like 
device and are often referred to as sheaves, pulleys, flywheels, 
flat pulleys, idlers, conveyer pulleys, synchronous sheaves, and 
timing pulleys. The products covered by this investigation also 
include bushings, which are iron mechanical transfer drive 
components in the form of a cylinder and which fit into the bore 
holes of other mechanical transfer drive components to lock them 
into drive shafts by means of elements such as teeth, bolts, or 
screws.
    Iron mechanical transfer drive components subject to this 
investigation are those not less than 4.00 inches (101 mm) in the 
maximum nominal outer diameter.
    Unfinished iron mechanical transfer drive components (i.e., 
blanks or castings) possess the approximate shape of the finished 
iron mechanical transfer drive component and have not yet been 
machined to final specification after the initial casting, forging 
or like operations. These machining processes may include cutting, 
punching, notching, boring, threading, mitering, or chamfering.
    Subject merchandise includes iron mechanical transfer drive 
components as defined above that have been finished or machined in a 
third country, including but not limited to finishing/machining 
processes such as cutting, punching, notching, boring, threading, 
mitering, or chamfering, or any other processing that would not 
otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigation 
if performed in the country of manufacture of the iron mechanical 
transfer drive components.
    Subject iron mechanical transfer drive components are covered by 
the scope of the investigation regardless of width, design, or iron 
type (e.g., gray, white, or ductile iron). Subject iron mechanical 
transfer drive components are covered by the scope of the 
investigation regardless of whether they have non-iron attachments 
or parts and regardless of whether they are entered with other 
mechanical transfer drive components or as part of a mechanical 
transfer drive assembly (which typically includes one or more of the 
iron mechanical transfer drive components identified above, and 
which may also include other parts such as a belt, coupling and/or 
shaft). When entered as a mechanical transfer drive assembly, only 
the iron components that meet the physical description of covered 
merchandise are covered merchandise, not the other components in the 
mechanical transfer drive assembly (e.g., belt, coupling, shaft). 
However, the scope excludes flywheels with a ring gear permanently 
attached onto the outer diameter. A ring gear is a steel ring with 
convex external teeth cut or machined into the outer diameter, and 
where the diameter of the ring exceeds 200 mm and doesn't exceed 
2,244.3 mm.
    For purposes of this investigation, a covered product is of 
``iron'' where the article has a carbon content of 1.7 percent by 
weight or above, regardless of the presence and amount of additional 
alloying elements.
    Excluded from the scope are finished torsional vibration dampers 
(TVDs). A

[[Page 75036]]

finished TVD is an engine component composed of three separate 
components: an inner ring, a rubber ring and an outer ring. The 
inner ring is an iron wheel or cylinder with a bore hole to fit a 
crank shaft which forms a seal to prevent leakage of oil from the 
engine. The rubber ring is a dampening medium between the inner and 
outer rings that effectively reduces the torsional vibration. The 
outer ring, which may be made of materials other than iron, may or 
may not have grooves in its outer circumference. To constitute a 
finished excluded TVD, the product must be composed of each of the 
three parts identified above and the three parts must be permanently 
affixed to one another such that both the inner ring and the outer 
ring are permanently affixed to the rubber ring. A finished TVD is 
excluded only if it meets the physical description provided above; 
merchandise that otherwise meets the description of the scope and 
does not satisfy the physical description of excluded finished TVDs 
above is still covered by the scope of the investigation regardless 
of end use or identification as a TVD.
    Also excluded from the scope are certain TVD inner rings. To 
constitute an excluded TVD inner ring, the product must have each of 
the following characteristics: (1) A single continuous curve forming 
a protrusion or indentation on outer surface, also known as a sine 
lock, with a height or depth not less than 1.5 millimeters and not 
exceeding 4.0 millimeters and with a width of at least 10 
millimeters as measured across the sine lock from one edge of the 
curve to the other; \9\ (2) a face width of the outer diameter of 
greater than or equal to 20 millimeters but less than or equal to 80 
millimeters; (3) an outside diameter greater than or equal to 101 
millimeters but less than or equal to 300 millimeters; and (4) a 
weight not exceeding 7 kilograms. A TVD inner ring is excluded only 
if it meets the physical description provided above; merchandise 
that otherwise meets the description of the scope and does not 
satisfy the physical description of excluded TVD inner rings is 
still covered by the scope of this investigation regardless of end 
use or identification as a TVD inner ring.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The edges of the sine lock curve are defined as the points 
where the surface of the inner ring is no longer parallel to the 
plane formed by the inner surface of the bore hole that attaches the 
ring to the crankshaft.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The scope also excludes light-duty, fixed-pitch, non-synchronous 
sheaves (``excludable LDFPN sheaves'') with each of the following 
characteristics: made from grey iron designated as ASTM (North 
American specification) Grade 30 or lower, GB/T (Chinese 
specification) Grade HT200 or lower, DIN (German specification) GG 
20 or lower, or EN (European specification) EN-GJL 200 or lower; 
having no more than two grooves; having a maximum face width of no 
more than 1.75 inches, where the face width is the width of the part 
at its outside diameter; having a maximum outside diameter of not 
more than 18.75 inches; and having no teeth on the outside or datum 
diameter. Excludable LDFPN sheaves must also either have a maximum 
straight bore size of 1.6875 inches with a maximum hub diameter of 
2.875 inches; or else have a tapered bore measuring 1.625 inches at 
the large end, a maximum hub diameter of 3.50 inches, a length 
through tapered bore of 1.0 inches, exactly two tapped holes that 
are 180 degrees apart, and a 2.0- inch bolt circle on the face of 
the hub. Excludable LDFPN sheaves more than 6.75 inches in outside 
diameter must also have an arm or spoke construction.\10\ Further, 
excludable LDFPN sheaves must have a groove profile as indicated in 
the table below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ An arm or spoke construction is where arms or spokes 
(typically 3 to 6) connect the outside diameter of the sheave with 
the hub of the sheave. This is in contrast to a block construction 
(in which the material between the hub and the outside diameter is 
solid with a uniform thickness that is the same thickness as the hub 
of the sheave) or a web construction (in which the material between 
the hub and the outside diameter is solid but is thinner than at the 
hub of the sheave).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to the above characteristics, excludable LDFPN 
sheaves must also have a maximum weight (pounds-per-piece) as 
follows: for excludable LDFPN sheaves with one groove and an outside 
diameter of greater than 4.0 inches but less than or equal to 8.0 
inches, the maximum weight is 4.7 pounds; for excludable LDFPN 
sheaves with two grooves and an outside diameter of greater than 4.0 
inches but less than or equal to 8.0 inches, the maximum weight is 
8.5 pounds; for excludable LDFPN sheaves with one groove and an 
outside diameter of greater than 8.0 inches but less than or equal 
to 12.0 inches, the maximum weight is 8.5 pounds; for excludable 
LDFPN sheaves with two grooves and an outside diameter of greater 
than 8.0 inches but less than or equal to 12.0 inches, the maximum 
weight is 15.0 pounds; for excludable LDFPN sheaves with one groove 
and an outside diameter of greater than 12.0 inches but less than or 
equal to 15.0 inches, the maximum weight is 13.3 pounds; for 
excludable LDFPN sheaves with two grooves and an outside diameter of 
greater than 12.0 inches but less than or equal to 15.0 inches, the 
maximum weight is 17.5 pounds; for excludable LDFPN sheaves with one 
groove and an outside diameter of greater than 15.0 inches but less 
than or equal to 18.75 inches, the maximum weight is 16.5 pounds; 
and for excludable LDFPN sheaves with two grooves and an outside 
diameter of greater than 15.0 inches but less than or equal to 18.75 
inches, the maximum weight is 26.5 pounds.
    The scope also excludes light-duty, variable-pitch, non-
synchronous sheaves with each of the following characteristics: made 
from grey iron designated as ASTM (North American specification) 
Grade 30 or lower, GB/T (Chinese specification) Grade HT200 or 
lower, DIN (German specification) GG 20 or lower, or EN (European 
specification) EN-GJL 200 or lower; having no more than 2 grooves; 
having a maximum overall width of less than 2.25 inches with a 
single groove, or of 3.25 inches or less with two grooves; having a 
maximum outside diameter of not more than 7.5 inches; having a 
maximum bore size of 1.625 inches; having either one or two 
identical, internally-threaded (i.e., with threads on the inside 
diameter), adjustable (rotating) flange(s) on an externally-threaded 
hub (i.e., with threads on the outside diameter) that enable(s) the 
width (opening) of the groove to be changed; and having no teeth on 
the outside or datum diameter.
    The scope also excludes certain IMTDC bushings. An IMTDC bushing 
is excluded only if it has a tapered angle of greater than or equal 
to 10 degrees, where the angle is measured between one outside 
tapered surface and the directly opposing outside tapered surface.
