Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results of the Second Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping 
Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset review, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (``THFA'') from the People's Republic of 
China (``PRC'') would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence 
of dumping. The magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail is 
indicated in the ``Final Results of the Sunset Review'' section of this 
notice.

DATES: Effective Date: March 12, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Stolz; AD/CVD Operations, Office 
III, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 202-482-4474.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 3, 2014, the Department initiated a sunset review of 
the antidumping duty order on THFA from the PRC pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act'').\1\ On November 
6, 2014, Penn A Kem LLC (``PAK''), the petitioner in the THFA 
investigation, timely notified the Department that it intended to 
participate in the sunset review claiming domestic interested party 
status under 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v) and section 771(9)(C) of the Act, 
as a domestic producer of THFA.\2\ The Department then received a 
complete substantive response filed by PAK on December 2, 2014, within 
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\3\ The 
Department did not receive any responses from any respondent interested 
parties. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we conducted an expedited (120-day) 
sunset review of the Order. As a result of this sunset review, the 
Department finds that revocation of the Order would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the 
``Final Results of the Sunset Review'' section of this notice, infra.

alcohol, is a clear, water white to pale yellow liquid. THFA is a 
member of the heterocyclic compounds known as furans and is miscible 
with water and soluble in many common organic solvents. THFA is 
currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United 
States (``HTSUS'') under subheading 2932.13.00.00. Although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the 
Department's written description of the merchandise subject to the 
order is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    A complete discussion of all issues raised in this sunset review is 
provided in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is 
hereby adopted by this notice.\4\ The issues discussed in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum include the likelihood of continuation or

likely to prevail if the order were revoked. 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'').\5\ ACCESS is

Final Results of the Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, 
the Department determines that revocation of the Order would be likely 
to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at weighted-average 
dumping margins up to 136.86 percent.
