SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Abstract
This collection of information
addresses three activities: (1) Import
Certificates/End Use Certificates, (2)
Delivery Verification, and (3) Firearms
Entry Clearance Requirements.
Import Certificates or End-User
Certificates (IC/EUC)—The IC/EUC,
BIS–645P, is obtained by the foreign
importer and transmitted to the U.S.
exporter. They are issued by the
government of the country of ultimate
destination to exercise legal control over
the disposition of the items covered by
the IC/EUC. The control exercised by
the government issuing the IC/EUC is in
addition to the conditions and
restrictions placed on the transaction by
BIS.
Delivery Verification—The Delivery
Verification Certificate (DV) is required
by BIS as part of its export control
program. The license holder is
responsible for having the ultimate
consignee complete the BIS–647P,
Delivery Verification Certificate Form
when the goods are delivered. BIS uses
the DV procedure on an ‘‘as needed’’
basis. The DV is usually required when
there is suspicion of violation of the
EAR. Therefore, if the exporter cannot
supply the DV, BIS must be notified to
determine if an exception is legitimate.
Otherwise, the exporter would be in
violation of the EAR.
Firearms Entry Clearance
Requirements—On January 23, 2020,
The Department of Commerce issued a
final rule that described how articles the
President determines no longer warrant
control under the United States
Munitions List (USML) Category I—
Firearms, Close Assault Weapons and
Combat Shotguns; Category II—Guns
and Armament; and Category III—
Ammunition/Ordnance would be
controlled under the Commerce Control
List (CCL). This final rule, which
became effective on March 9, 2020, was
published in conjunction with a final
rule on Categories I, II, and III from the
Department of State, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
This entry clearance requirement is
necessary due to the changes by the
President in determining that certain
items no longer warrant control under
United States Munitions List (USML)
Category I—Firearms, Close Assault
Weapons and Combat Shotguns;
Category II—Guns and Armament; and
Category III—Ammunition/Ordnance
would be controlled under the
Commerce Control List (CCL). As the
State Department previously collected
this same type of information, the
Department of Commerce controls the
CCL and must now take over this
collection of information. Section
758.10 Entry clearance requirements for
temporary imports will specify the EAR
procedures for temporary imports and
subsequent exports.
II. Method of Collection
Submitted electronically or in paper
form.
III. Data

(Commerce) preliminarily determines

(LTFV). The period of investigation
(POI) is July 1, 2019 through December

DATES
: Applicable August 20, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
This preliminary determination is
made in accordance with section 733(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). Commerce published the
notice of initiation of this investigation
on February 24, 2020.
1
On June 8, 2020,
Commerce postponed the preliminary
determination of this investigation and
the revised deadline is now August 20,
2020.
2
For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this investigation, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
3
A list of topics
included in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as Appendix
II to this notice. The Preliminary
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 https://
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 Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
The signed and the electronic versions
of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this
investigation is difluoromethane (R-32)
from China. For a complete description
of the scope of this investigation, see
Appendix I.
Scope Comments
In accordance with the preamble to
Commerce’s regulations,
4
the Initiation
Notice set aside a period of time for
parties to raise issues regarding product
coverage (scope).
5
No party commented
on the scope of the investigation. Thus,
Commerce has not modified the scope
language as it appeared in the Initiation
Notice.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
investigation in accordance with section
731 of the Act. Commerce has
calculated export prices in accordance
with section 772(a) of the Act. Because
China is a non-market economy, within
the meaning of section 771(18) of the
Act, Commerce has calculated normal
value (NV) in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act.
In addition, Commerce has relied on
facts available under section 776(a) of
the Act to determine the cash deposit
rate assigned to the China-wide entity.
Furthermore, pursuant to sections
776(a) and (b) of the Act, because the
China-wide entity did not cooperate to
the best of its ability in responding to
Commerce’s requests for data,
Commerce preliminarily has relied
upon facts otherwise available, with
adverse inferences, for the China-wide
entity. For a full description of the
methodology underlying Commerce’s
preliminary determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
