alleging that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of granular PTFE resin from India.10 In accordance with section 733e of the Act and 19
CFR 351.206, Commerce preliminarily determines that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of granular PTFE resin from India produced and exported by Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited GFCL. Furthermore, we preliminarily determine that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of granular PTFE resin from India produced and exported by all other producers and exporters. For a full description of Commerces preliminary critical circumstances determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
All-Others Rate Sections 733d1Aii and 735c5A of the Act provide that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined.
This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act.
In this investigation, Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for GFCL, the only individually examined exporter/producer in this investigation.
Because the only individually calculated dumping margin is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted-average dumping margin calculated for GFCL is the margin assigned to all other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 735c5A of the Act.
Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist:
