Disclosure

    The Department intends to disclose calculations performed for these 
final results to the parties within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as 
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department will determine, 
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of 
subject merchandise covered by this review. The Department intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of these final results of review.
    For assessment purposes, because Dezhou Kaihang's margin is zero, 
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the entry covered in this new shipper 
review without regard to antidumping duties.
    On October 24, 2011, the Department announced a refinement to its 
assessment practice in non-market economy cases. \9\ Pursuant to this 
refinement in practice, for entries that were not reported in the U.S. 
sales databases submitted by Dezhou Kaihang during this review, the 
Department will instruct CBP to liquidate at the PRC-wide rate.

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this new shipper review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 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 produced by Shandong Fengyu Edible Fungus Co., Ltd. and 
exported by Dezhou Kaihang, no cash deposit rate will be required since 
the rate established in the Final Results of Review section of this 
notice is zero; (2) for subject merchandise exported by Dezhou Kaihang 
but not produced by Shandong Fengyu Edible Fungus Co., Ltd., the cash 
deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 308.33 
percent); and (3) for subject merchandise produced by Shandong Fengyu 
Edible Fungus Co., Ltd. but not exported by Dezhou Kaihang, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to that exporter. These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, 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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    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), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results and this notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: June 1, 2015.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
