Background
On June 4, 2008, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the
period October 11, 2006, through March
31, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 73 FR 31813 (June 4, 2008).
On August 5, 2008, the Department
selected three mandatory respondents in
the above–referenced administrative
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’). See Memorandum to James
C. Doyle, Director, Office 9, from Paul
Walker, Senior Case Analyst, RE:

Review (August 5, 2008).

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
The Department determines that
completion of the preliminary results of
the administrative review within the
original time period is not practicable.
This administrative review covers two
mandatory respondents and one
voluntary respondent, and to conduct
the sales and factor analyses for each
company and their numerous suppliers
requires the Department to gather and
analyze a significant amount of
information pertaining to each
respondent’s sales practices and
manufacturing methods. Moreover, the
Department requires additional time to
analyze complicated affiliation issues.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time limit for issuing
the preliminary results by 120 days
until April 30, 2009. The final results
continue to be due 120 days after the
publication of the preliminary results.
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: October 24, 2008.

Administration.

Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from

Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce
SUMMARY: On August 7, 2008, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on purified
carboxymethylcellulose from Mexico.
See Purified Carboxymethylcellulose
from Mexico: Notice of Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 73 FR 45937
(August 7, 2008) (Preliminary Results).
The review covers one producer/
exporter, Quimica Amtex S.A. de C.V.
The period of review (POR) is July 1,
2006, through June 30, 2007. We invited
interested parties to comment on our
Preliminary Results. The Department
received no comments concerning our
Preliminary Results; therefore, our final
results remain unchanged from our
Preliminary Results. The final results
are listed in the section ‘‘Final Results
of Review’’ below.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 26, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 7, 2008, the Department
published the preliminary results of this
review in the Federal Register. See
Preliminary Results. We invited parties
to comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments or requests
for a hearing.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is all purified carboxymethylcellulose
(CMC), sometimes also referred to as
purified sodium CMC, polyanionic
cellulose, or cellulose gum, which is a
white to off–white, non–toxic, odorless,
biodegradable powder, comprising
sodium CMC that has been refined and
purified to a minimum assay of 90
percent. Purified CMC does not include
unpurified or crude CMC, CMC
E:\FR\FM\26NON1.SGM
26NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 26, 2008 / Notices
Fluidized Polymer Suspensions, and
CMC that is cross–linked through heat
treatment. Purified CMC is CMC that
has undergone one or more purification
operations which, at a minimum, reduce
the remaining salt and other by–product
portion of the product to less than ten
percent. The merchandise subject to this
order is classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States at
subheading 3912.31.00. This tariff
classification is provided for
convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department
received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. As there have been
no changes from or comments on the
Preliminary Results, there is no decision
memorandum accompanying this
Federal Register notice. For further
details of the issues addressed in this
proceeding, see Preliminary Results.
The final weighted–average dumping
margin for the period July 1, 2006,
through June 30, 2007, is as follows:

Assessment
The Department shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review if any
importer–specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is above de minimis (i.e., at or
above 0.50 percent). Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by companies included in
these final results of review for which
the reviewed companies did not know
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:30 Nov 25, 2008
Jkt 217001
their merchandise was destined for the
United States. This clarification will
also apply to POR entries of subject
merchandise produced by companies
for which we rescind the review based
on certifications of no shipments,
because these companies certify that
they made no POR shipments of subject
merchandise for which they had
knowledge of U.S. destination. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the ‘‘all–
others’’ rate established in the LTFV
investigation if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of purified CMC from Mexico
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1)
The cash deposit rate for the reviewed
company will be the rate shown above;
(2) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, or the LTFV
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 12.61
percent, the ‘‘all–others’’ rate
established in the LTFV investigation.
These deposit requirements shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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 double antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.
