(Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The merchandise subject to the order is diamond sawblades. The 
diamond sawblades subject to the order are currently classifiable under 
subheadings 8202 to 8206 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (HTSUS), and may also enter under subheading 6804.21.00. 
The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes. A full description of the scope of the order is contained in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\ The written description is

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to 
this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as 
an appendix. 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 http://access.trade.gov and to all parties in the 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

Final Determination of No Shipments

    We preliminarily found that Danyang City Ou Di Ma Tools Co., Ltd., 
Danyang Tsunda Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., Qingdao Hyosung Diamond Tools 
Co., Ltd., Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., and Shanghai 
Starcraft Tools Co., Ltd., which have been eligible for separate rates 
in previous segments of the proceeding and are subject to this review, 
did not have any reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the 
POR.\3\ After the Preliminary Results, we received no comments or 
additional information with respect to these five companies. Therefore, 
for the final results, we continue to find that these five companies 
did not have any reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the 
POR. Consistent with our practice, we will issue appropriate 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on our 
final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 89045, n.2, and 
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    The Department preliminarily determined that 24 respondents are 
eligible to receive separate rates in this review.\4\ We made no 
changes to these determinations for the final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 89045, n.6, and 
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 4-8.

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\7\ For a 
customer or importer of Bosun Tools Co., Ltd., we have calculated a 
customer/importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rate 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ We continue to treat Jiangsu Fengtai Diamond Tool 
Manufacture Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Fengtai Tools Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu 
Fengtai Sawing Industry Co., Ltd., as a single entity. See 
Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 89046, and accompanying Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum at 2, n.4 for details.
    \6\ Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., is the 
successor-in-interest to Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co. See 
Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances 
Review, 81 FR 20618 (April 8, 2016).
    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity, we will instruct CBP to 
apply an antidumping duty assessment rate of 82.05 percent to all 
entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States during 
the POR. For all non-selected respondents that received a separate 
rate, we will instruct CBP to apply an antidumping duty assessment rate 
of 6.19 percent \8\ to all entries of subject merchandise that entered 
the United States during the POR. For all other companies, we will 
instruct CBP to apply the antidumping duty assessment rate of the PRC-
wide entity, 82.05 percent, to all entries of subject merchandise 
exported by these companies.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 5-6.
    \9\ See Initiation Notice, 81 FR at 737 (``All firms listed 
below that wish to qualify for separate rate status in the 
administrative reviews involving NME countries must complete, as 
appropriate, either a separate rate application or certification, as 
described below.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases 
submitted by Bosun Tools Co., Ltd., the Department will instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate. In addition, for the five 
companies that we determined had no reviewable entries of the subject 
merchandise in this review period, any suspended entries that entered 
under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will 
be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.
    We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the 
date of publication of the final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject 
merchandise exported by the companies listed above that have separate 
rates, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in these 
final results of review for each exporter as listed above; (2) for 
previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not 
listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-
specific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that 
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity; (4) for all non-PRC 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own 
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC 
exporter that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit 
requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 
written 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.
    These final results of review are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: June 6, 2017.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
