SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 26, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published a preliminary notice of intent
to rescind the antidumping duty new
shipper review of certain frozen warm
water shrimp from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) with respect
to Maoming Changxing Foods Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Maoming Changxing’’), covering the
period February 1, 2006, through July
31, 2007. See Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from the People’s
Republic of China: Preliminary Notice of
Intent to Rescind Antidumping Duty

Extension of Time Limit of Final
Results
The final results for this new shipper
review are currently due on October 17,
2007. Consistent with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘Act’’) and 19 CFR
351.214(i)(2), the Department is
extending the time limit for the
completion of the final results of this
new shipper review by 60 days because
the case is extraordinarily complicated.
This new shipper review involves
complicated ownership and affiliation
issues which will require the
Department to consider arguments by
interested parties regarding the actual
owners and the source of founding
capital with respect to Maoming
Changxing. In addition, the Department
requires additional time to consider
domestic producers’ arguments
regarding the antidumping duty rate to
apply to Maoming Changxing.
Because of the complexity of issues in
this case, and in accordance with
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.214(i)(2), we are extending the
time period for issuing the final results
of the new shipper review of Maoming
Changxing by 60 days. Since a 60-day
extension would result in the deadline
for the final results falling on December
16, 2007, which is Sunday, the new
deadline for the final results will be the
next business day, December 17, 2007.

review of the antidumping duty order
on furfuryl alcohol from Thailand. The
period of review is July 1, 2005, through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On July 25, 1995, the Department
published an antidumping duty order
on furfuryl alcohol from Thailand. See
Furfuryl Alcohol from Thailand: Notice
of Amended Final Antidumping Duty
Determination and Order, 60 FR 38035
(July 25, 1995). On August 30, 2006, the
Department published a notice of
initiation for this administrative review.
See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006).
On August 2, 2007, the Department
published in the Federal Register its
preliminary results of the administrative
review of this order. See Furfuryl
Alcohol from Thailand; Preliminary
Results of 2005–2006 Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 72 FR 42390
(August 2, 2007) (‘‘Preliminary
Results’’). In the Preliminary Results,
the Department invited interested

parties to submit briefs and request a
hearing. No briefs were received and the
Department did not conduct a hearing
because none was requested.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is furfuryl alcohol
(C4H3OCH2OH). Furfuryl alcohol is a
primary alcohol, and is colorless or pale
yellow in appearance. It is used in the
manufacture of resins and as a wetting
agent and solvent for coating resins,
nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and
other soluble dyes.
The product subject to this order is
classifiable under subheading
2932.13.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
Period of Review
The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is July
1, 2005, through May 3, 2006.1
Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department
received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. Consistent with the
Preliminary Results, we find that a de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent)
dumping margin exists for Indorama
Chemicals (Thailand) Ltd. during the
POR. Because no party submitted
comments on the Preliminary Results
and the Department has not made any
changes to the Preliminary Results, we
have not prepared a Decision
Memorandum for these final results. For
further details of our findings, see the
Preliminary Results.

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR
51573 (August 30, 2006). However, following the
initiation, the Department has revoked this order
effective May 4, 2006. See Furfuryl Alcohol from
Thailand; Final Results of the Second Sunset
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order and
Revocation of the Order, 72 FR 9729 (March 5,

Cash Deposit Rates
On March 5, 2007, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(1)(ii), the Department
revoked the antidumping duty order on

Results of the Second Sunset Review of
the Antidumping Duty Order and
Revocation of the Order, 72 FR 9729

does not intend to issue cash deposit
instructions.

to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the publication date of
these final results. Because the
respondent did not report the entered
value of its U.S. sales, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated
importer–specific per–unit duty
assessment rates by aggregating the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales and
dividing this amount by the total
quantity of those sales. To determine
whether the duty assessment rates are
de minimis, in accordance with the
requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer
(or customer)-specific ad valorem ratios
based on the estimated entered value.
Where an importer (or customer)specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review produced by reviewed
companies for which these companies
did not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, 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. For a full discussion of
this clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68

during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could

duty order on furfuryl alcohol from Thailand. The period of review is
July 1, 2005, through May 3, 2006. The final results do not differ from
the preliminary results of this review, in which we found that sales of
the subject merchandise have not been made below normal value.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 25, 1995, the Department published an antidumping duty
order on furfuryl alcohol from Thailand. See Furfuryl Alcohol from
Thailand: Notice of Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination and
Order, 60 FR 38035 (July 25, 1995). On August 30, 2006, the Department
published a notice of initiation for this administrative review. See
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006). On August 2,
2007, the Department published in the Federal Register its preliminary
results of the administrative review of this order. See Furfuryl
Alcohol from Thailand; Preliminary Results of 2005-2006 Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 42390 (August 2, 2007) (``Preliminary
Results''). In the Preliminary Results, the Department invited
interested parties to submit briefs and request a hearing. No briefs
were received and the Department did not conduct a hearing because none
was requested.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is furfuryl alcohol
(C4H3OCH2OH). Furfuryl alcohol is a primary alcohol, and is colorless
or pale yellow in appearance. It is used in the manufacture of resins
and as a wetting agent and solvent for coating resins, nitrocellulose,
cellulose acetate, and other soluble dyes.
The product subject to this order is classifiable under subheading
2932.13.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and
customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Period of Review
The period of review (``POR'') is July 1, 2005, through May 3,
2006.\1\

initiation for this administrative review covering the period July
1, 2005, through June 30, 2006. See Notice of Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR
51573 (August 30, 2006). However, following the initiation, the
Department has revoked this order effective May 4, 2006. See
Furfuryl Alcohol from Thailand; Final Results of the Second Sunset
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order and Revocation of the Order, 72
FR 9729 (March 5, 2007). Therefore, the revised POR is now July 1,
2005 through May 3, 2006.

Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. Consistent with the Preliminary Results, we find
that a de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) dumping margin exists
for Indorama Chemicals (Thailand) Ltd. during the POR. Because no party
submitted comments on the Preliminary Results and the Department has
not made any changes to the Preliminary Results, we have not prepared a

Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. The Department intends
[[Page 58057]]
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication
date of these final results. Because the respondent did not report the
entered value of its U.S. sales, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we
have calculated importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales and dividing this amount by the total quantity of those
sales. To determine whether the duty assessment rates are de minimis,
in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we calculated importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem ratios based
on the estimated entered value. Where an importer (or customer)-
specific ad valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period of review produced by reviewed
companies for which these companies did not know their merchandise was

to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For
a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68

Cash Deposit Rates
On March 5, 2007, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(ii), the
Department revoked the antidumping duty order on furfuryl alcohol from
Thailand (see Furfuryl Alcohol from Thailand; Final Results of the
Second Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order and Revocation of
the Order, 72 FR 9729 (March 5, 2007)). The effective date of the
revocation is May 4, 2006. As a result of this action, the Department
does not intend to issue cash deposit instructions.
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 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.
