On December 27, 2004, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) published a preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of purified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) from Mexico (69 FR 77201). The petitioner is Aqualon Company (Aqualon or petitioner), a division of Hercules Incorporated. The respondent is Quimica Amtex S.A. de C.V. of Mexico (Amtex).

Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Purified Carboxymethylcellulose From Sweden
On December 27, 2004, the Department of Commerce published the preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of purified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) from Sweden. See Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: Purified Carboxymethylcellulose From Sweden, 69 FR 77213 (``Preliminary Determination''). The period of investigation (POI) is April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004. The mandatory respondent, Noviant AB, did not respond to Sections B and C of the Department's questionnaire. Accordingly, we based the preliminary determination on adverse facts available, and applied the highest estimated dumping margin set forth in the notice of initiation. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the preliminary determination, but no comments were received and no hearing was requested. Therefore, we have made no changes from the preliminary determination that CMC was sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV) during the period of investigation.
