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

Analysis of Comments Received

    We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs 
submitted by parties in this review in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. Appendix I to this 
notice provides a list of the issues which parties raised. 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''). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and 
it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit of the main 
Department of Commerce building, Room B8024. In addition, a complete 
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
on the Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues 
and Decision Memorandum and the electronic version are identical in 
content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made no 
changes since the preliminary results.

Adverse Facts Available

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department applied total adverse 
facts available (``AFA'') to Deosen and AHA and assigned these 
companies a rate of 154.07 percent, the highest rate on the record of 
the proceeding. The Department determined that these companies 
significantly impeded the proceeding, withheld information requested by 
the Department, and failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of 
their ability to comply with requests for information.\5\ As discussed 
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we continue to apply a dumping 
margin based on AFA to Deosen and AHA for these final results of 
review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See PDM at 7-9.
    \6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department found that Fufeng, 
Deosen, AHA, CP Kelco (Shandong) Biological Company Limited (``CP Kelco 
(Shandong)'') and Shanghai Smart, demonstrated their eligibility for a 
separate rate but that the non-individually examined respondent Hebei 
Xinhe Biochemical Co. Ltd., (``Hebei Xinhe'') did not demonstrate its 
eligibility for a separate rate because it failed to file a separate 
rate application or a separate rate certification.\7\ Thus, the 
Department treated Hebei Xinhe as part of the PRC-wide entity. We have 
considered interested parties' comments regarding our preliminary 
separate rates determination, and decided not to change the preliminary 
determination in these final results of review. We have considered 
interested parties' comments regarding our preliminary separate rates 
determination, and decided to: (1) Continue to grant Fufeng, Deosen, 
AHA, CP Kelco (Shandong), and Shanghai Smart separate rates status; and 
(2) continue to not grant IMJ separate rate status because it had no 
reviewable sales for these final results of review. For further 
details, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 54046.
    \8\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comments 2 and 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department found that Meihua Group 
International Trading (Hong Kong) Limited, Langfang Meihua Bio-
Technology Co., Ltd., and Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd. had no 
shipments and, therefore, no reviewable transactions during the POR.\9\ 
No parties commented on this determination. For the final results of 
review, we continue to find that these companies had no shipments 
during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Preliminary Results at 8 FR 54045.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

    Because IMJ's one sale during the POR is the same sale found to be 
a non-bona fide sale in a new shipper review, and there are no other 
reviewable sales by IMJ during the POR, we have rescinded this review 
with respect to IMJ.\10\ For additional information regarding this 
determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Preliminary Results at 8 FR 54045 54046.
    \11\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumping Margin for Non-Individually Examined Respondents Granted 
Separate Rate Status

    Neither the Act, nor the Department's regulations, addresses the 
establishment of the dumping margin applied to separate rate companies 
not selected for individual examination where the Department limits its 
individual examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 
777A(c)(2) of the Act. The Department's practice in administrative 
reviews involving limited selection based on exporters accounting for 
the largest volume of subject merchandise during the period of review 
has been to look to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, which 
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an 
investigation. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the Department 
avoids calculating an all-others rate using rates that are zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available in investigations. 
Section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that, where all dumping 
margins established for the mandatory respondents are zero, de minimis, 
or based entirely on facts available, the Department may use ``any 
reasonable method'' for assigning an all-others rate.

[[Page 11436]]

    In these final results of review, the dumping margins determined 
for the mandatory respondents are either zero, de minimis, or based 
entirely on AFA. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of 
the Act, we have applied to the non-individually examined companies 
eligible for a separate rate a dumping margin equal to the simple 
average of the zero and AFA rates determined for the mandatory 
respondents.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Administrative Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins 
exist for the POR:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Weighted-average

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department has determined, 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. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 
15 days after the publication date of the final results of this review. 
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate POR entries of subject 
merchandise from Deosen, AHA, CP Kelco (Shandong), and Shanghai Smart 
at the rates listed for those companies in the table above. Where the 
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or 
where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or per-unit rate 
is zero or de minimis, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database 
submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, but 
that entered under the case number of that exporter (i.e., at the 
individually-examined exporter's cash deposit rate), the Department 
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate (i.e., 
154.07 percent). Additionally, if the Department determines that an 
exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any 
suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number will 
be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act: (1) For the exporters listed in the table above, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established in the final results of review that 
is listed for the exporter in the table; (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed in the 
table above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the 
most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise 
that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate previously established for the PRC-wide 
entity, which is 154.07 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that 
supplied that non-PRC exporter. The cash deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    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 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 (``APO'')

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 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.
    We are issuing these final results of administrative review and 
publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) 
of the Act.

    Dated: February 13, 2017.
