SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 9, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary Results. 
We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results, 
but no comments were received.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order is all purified CMC, sometimes 
also referred to as purified sodium CMC, polyanionic cellulose, or 
cellulose gum, which is a white to off-white, non-toxic, odorless, 
biodegradable powder, comprising sodium CMC that has been refined and 
purified to a minimum assay of 90 percent. Purified CMC does not 
include unpurified or crude CMC, CMC Fluidized Polymer Suspensions, and 
CMC that is cross-linked through

[[Page 36321]]

heat treatment. Purified CMC is CMC that has undergone one or more 
purification operations which, at a minimum, reduce the remaining salt 
and other by-product portion of the product to less than ten percent. 
The merchandise subject to the order is classified in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States at subheading 3912.31.00. This 
tariff classification is provided for convenience and customs purposes; 
however, the written description of the scope of the order is 
dispositive.

Final Results of Review

    Because no party commented on the Preliminary Results, we made no 
changes to these final results. We determine that the following dumping 
margin exists for the period July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                                                             average
                 Manufacturer/Exporter                   dumping  margin
                                                           (percentage)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CP Kelco Oy............................................            0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance 
with the final results of this review. Because CP Kelco's weighted 
average dumping margin is zero, in accordance with the Final 
Modification, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.\2\ For entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by CP Kelco Oy for which it did not 
know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if 
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14, 
2012) (Final Modification).
    \3\ For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping 
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the 
date of publication of these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these 
final results, consistent with section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The 
cash deposit rate for CP Kelco will be 0.00 percent, the weighted 
average dumping margin established in the final results of this 
administrative review; (2) if the exporter is not a firm covered in 
this review, but was covered in a previous review or the original less 
than fair value (LTFV) investigation, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent 
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer 
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most 
recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if 
neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or 
any previous review conducted by the Department, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be 6.65 percent, which is the all-others rate 
established in the LTFV investigation.\4\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
    The Department is issuing and publishing this notice in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 17, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary Enforcement and Compliance.
