SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 12, 2017, Commerce published its Final Results in the 2014-
2015 AD administrative review of diamond sawblades and parts thereof 
from China. Commerce calculated a rate of 6.91 for Bosun and assigned 
that rate to the non-selected respondents that received a separate 
rate.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof from the People's 
Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2014-2015, 82 FR 26912 (June 12, 2017) (Final Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers' Coalition (the petitioner) 
appealed Commerce's Final Results. On October 23, 2018, the CIT 
remanded the Final Results to Commerce to further clarify or reconsider 
Commerce's conclusion that Bosun acted to the best of its ability in 
responding to Commerce's requests for information.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers' Coalition v. United 
States, Court No. 17-00167, Slip Op. 18-146 (CIT October 23, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its first remand redetermination, issued in April 2019, Commerce 
concluded that Bosun failed to cooperate to the best of its ability and 
applied a rate based entirely on adverse facts available (AFA) to 
Bosun; Commerce also assigned that rate to the non-selected respondents 
that received a separate rate.\3\ The CIT sustained the first remand 
redetermination, but later remanded for a second time for further 
proceedings in conformity with the opinion of the Court of Appeals for 
the Federal Circuit, which ruled that Commerce needed to determine 
whether there was any basis to disregard the Bosun-supplied origin 
information for certain sales to unaffiliated U.S. customers during the 
period of review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Final Remand Redetermination, Diamond Sawblades 
Manufacturers' Coalition v. United States, Court No. 17-00167, Slip 
Op. 18-146, dated April 17, 2019, available at https://access.trade.gov/resources/remands/18-146.pdf.
    \4\ See Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers' Coalition v. United 
States, Court No. 17-00167 (CIT March. 25, 2021) (referencing 
Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coal. v. United States, 986 F.3d 1351 (CAFC 
2021)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its second remand redetermination, issued in July 2021, Commerce 
found that AFA was appropriate to apply to only certain of Bosun's 
sales to U.S. customers. Accordingly, Commerce recalculated Bosun's 
margin and assigned Bosun's rate to the non-selected respondents that 
received a separate rate.\5\ The CIT sustained Commerce's final 
redetermination.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Final Remand Redetermination, Diamond Sawblades 
Manufacturers' Coalition v. United States, Court No. 17-00167, 
Appeal No. 20-1478, dated July 13, 2021.

States, Court No. 17-00167, Slip Op. 21-150 (CIT October 27, 2021).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Because all the exporters listed above have a superseding cash 
deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results published in a 
subsequent administrative review, we will not issue revised cash 
deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This 
notice does not affect the current cash deposit rate.

Liquidation of Suspended Entries

    At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from issuing 
instructions to liquidate entries that were exported by Bosun Tools 
Co., Ltd., and imported by or sold to (as indicated on the commercial 
invoice or Customs documentation) Bosun Tools, Inc. or Bosun Tools 
Inc., or exported by the non-selected respondents that received a 
separate rate, and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption during the period November 1, 2014, through October 31, 
2015. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the 
injunction during the pendency of any appeals process.
    In the event the CIT's ruling is not appealed, or, if appealed, is 
upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce intends to 
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of 
subject merchandise exported by Bosun Tools Co., Ltd., and imported by 
or sold to (as indicated on the commercial invoice or Customs 
documentation) Bosun Tools, Inc. or Bosun Tools Inc., or exported by 
the non-selected respondents that received a separate rate in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review 
when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de 
minimis. Where an import-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or 
de minimis,\7\ we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 
entries without regard to antidumping duties.
