I. Abstract
The International Trade
Administration’s U.S. Commercial
Service is mandated by Congress to help
U.S. businesses, particularly small- and
medium-sized companies, export their
products and services to global markets.
As part of its mission, the U.S.
Commercial Service (CS) currently uses
customer satisfaction surveys to collect
feedback from U.S. business clients that
pay for services performed by CS. These
surveys ask the client to evaluate CS on
its customer service provision. The
results from the surveys are used to
make improvements to the agency’s
business processes in order to provide
better and more effective export
assistance to U.S. companies. In
addition to soliciting client feedback
after a service is delivered, the CS
would like to add a tagline with a link
to a Comment Card at the bottom of all
employees’ e-mail messages to enable
clients to submit feedback anytime they
see fit. The actual tagline would
encourage recipients of the e-mail to
click the Comment Card link and
provide feedback on service quality.
Samples of taglines could be similar to:
(1) ‘‘Please tell me about the quality
of service that I have provided to you;’’
or
(2) ‘‘Please let me know how well I
have served you.’’
A link to a Comment Card would
immediately follow the tagline. The
purpose of the attached card is to collect
feedback from U.S. businesses that
interact with CS employees. This
information will be used for quality
assurance purposes. Survey responses
will be used to assess client satisfaction,
identify client issues, record client
results and recognize exemplary service
providers.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

China: Final Determination of Sales at

(August 18, 2008) (‘‘Final
Determination’’).
On August 18, 2008, Guizhou Redstar
Developing Import & Export Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Redstar’’) submitted ministerial error
allegations with respect to the
Department’s Final Determination. On
August 25, 2008, Tronox LLC,
Petitioner, submitted a reply to
Redstar’s ministerial error allegations,
arguing that the Department should
reject each of Redstar’s claims. On
October 1, 2008, the Department
determined that Redstar’s ministerial
error allegations do not meet the
requirements under 19 CFR 351.224(f)
to be considered ministerial errors. See
Memorandum entitled ‘‘Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Investigation of
Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from
the People’s Republic of China:
Allegations of Ministerial Errors,’’ dated
October 1, 2008.
On September 26, 2008, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to section
735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
less-than-fair-value imports of EMD
from the PRC. See Letter from the ITC
to the Secretary of Commerce,
‘‘Notification of Final Affirmative
Determination of Electrolytic
Manganese Dioxide from Australia and
from the People’s Republic of China,’’
Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1124 and
1125 (September 26, 2008). Pursuant to
section 736(a) of the Act, the
Department is publishing an
antidumping duty order on the subject
merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order includes all manganese dioxide
(MnO2) that has been manufactured in
an electrolysis process, whether in
powder, chip, or plate form. Excluded
from the scope are natural manganese
dioxide (NMD) and chemical manganese
dioxide (CMD). The merchandise
subject to this order is classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) at subheading
2820.10.00.00. While the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this order is
dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order
In accordance with section 736(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further
information from the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or the constructed export price) of the
merchandise for all relevant entries of
EMD from the PRC. These antidumping
duties will be assessed on all entries of
EMD entered, or withdrawn from the
warehouse, for consumption on or after
March 26, 2008, the date on which the
Department published its notice of
preliminary determination in the
Federal Register. See Electrolytic
Manganese Dioxide from the People’s
Republic of China: Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination, 73 FR 15988 (March 26,
2008).
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of the exporters
that account for a significant proportion
of EMD in the PRC, we extended the
four-month period to no more than six
months. See Letter from Guizhou
Redstar Developing Import and Export
Company, Ltd. (March 11, 2008). In the
underlying investigation, the six-month
period beginning on the date of the
publication of the preliminary
determination ended on September 22,
2008. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the
Act states that definitive duties are to
begin on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of EMD from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after September 22,
2008, through the day preceding the
date of publication of the ITC’s final
injury determination in the Federal
Register.
On and after the date of publication
of the ITC’s notice of final
determination in the Federal Register,
CBP will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this merchandise,
cash deposits for the subject
merchandise equal to the estimated
weighted-average antidumping margins
listed below.
