by the Convention (15 CFR 712.5(a)(1)
and (a)(2));
(3) Provide for government approval
of ‘‘declared Schedule 1’’ facilities (15
CFR 712.5(f));
(4) Provide that ‘‘declared Schedule
1’’ facilities are subject to initial and
routine inspection by the Organization
for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons (15 CFR 712.5(e) and
716.1(b)(1));
(5) Require 200 days advance
notification of establishment of new
‘‘Schedule 1’’ production facilities
producing greater than 100 grams
aggregate of ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals per
calendar year (15 CFR 712.4);
(6) Require advance notification and
annual reporting of all imports and
exports of ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals to, or
from, other States Parties to the
Convention (15 CFR 712.6, 742.18(a)(1)
and 745.1); and
(7) Prohibit the export of ‘‘Schedule
1’’ chemicals to States not Party to the
Convention (15 CFR 742.18(a)(1) and
(b)(1)(ii)).
For purposes of the CWCR (see 15
CFR 710.1), ‘‘production of a Schedule
1 chemical’’ means the formation of
‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals through
chemical synthesis, as well as
processing to extract and isolate
‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals produced
biologically. Such production is
understood, for CWCR declaration
purposes, to include intermediates, byproducts, or waste products that are
produced and consumed within a
defined chemical manufacturing
sequence, where such intermediates, byproducts, or waste products are
chemically stable and therefore exist for
a sufficient time to make isolation from
the manufacturing stream possible, but
where, under normal or design
operating conditions, isolation does not
occur.
Request for Comments
In order to assist in determining
whether the legitimate commercial
activities and interests of chemical,
biotechnology, and pharmaceutical
firms in the United States are
significantly harmed by the limitations
of the Convention on access to, and
production of, ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals
as described in this notice, BIS is
seeking public comments on any effects
that implementation of the Chemical
Weapons Convention, through the
Chemical Weapons Convention
Implementation Act and the Chemical
Weapons Convention Regulations, has
had on commercial activities involving
‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals during calendar
year 2014. To allow BIS to properly
evaluate the significance of any harm to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
commercial activities involving
‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals, public
comments submitted in response to this
notice of inquiry should include both a
quantitative and qualitative assessment
of the impact of the CWC on such
activities.
Submission of Comments
All comments must be submitted to
one of the addresses indicated in this
notice. The Department requires that all
comments be submitted in written form.
The Department encourages interested
persons who wish to comment to do so
at the earliest possible time. The period
for submission of comments will close
on December 19, 2014. The Department
will consider all comments received
before the close of the comment period.
Comments received after the end of the
comment period will be considered if
possible, but their consideration cannot
be assured. The Department will not
accept comments accompanied by a
request that a part or all of the material
be treated confidentially because of its
business proprietary nature or for any
other reason. The Department will
return such comments and materials to
the persons submitting the comments
and will not consider them. All
comments submitted in response to this
notice will be a matter of public record
and will be available for public
inspection and copying.

Partial Rescission of the Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
who requested the review withdraws
the request within 90 days of the date
of publication of notice of initiation of
the requested review. Except for Henan
Sanli Carbon Products Co., Ltd. (Henan
Sanli) the petitioners 2 withdrew their
request for an administrative review of
the remaining 192 companies identified
in the Initiation Notice.3 The petitioners
were the only party to request a review
of these companies. Accordingly, we are
rescinding this review, in part, with
respect to these entities, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum contains a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a

to the Department’s change in practice, the
Department no longer considers the non-market
economy entity as an exporter conditionally subject
to administrative reviews. See Antidumping

Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of
review, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.7 For the companies for
which this review is rescinded,
4 See
19 CFR 351.309(d).
19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2); see also 19
CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements).

5 See
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703

antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).
For the final results, if we continue to
treat Henan Sanli as part of the PRCwide entity, we will instruct CBP to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of
159.64 percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which
were produced and/or exported by
Henan Sanli.
The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of the 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 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
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all
PRC exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled
to a separate rate, including Henan
Sanli, the cash deposit rate will be that
for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) 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. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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 Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
This administrative review and notice
are in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of review, the Department will
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\7\ For the companies for which this review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the final results, if we continue to treat Henan Sanli as part
of the PRC-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate of 159.64 percent to all entries of subject merchandise
during the POR which were produced and/or exported by Henan Sanli.
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the 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
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 previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-
specific rate; (2) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, including Henan
Sanli, the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity; and
(3) 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.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This administrative review and notice are in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
