(on September 28, 2009, TMK IPSCO, and United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union also entered the proceeding as petitioners). On September 21, 2009, the Department issued a request to United States Steel Corporation, V&M Star L.P., TMK IPSCO, and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, (collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’) for additional information and for clarification of certain areas of the Petition. Based on the Department’s request, Petitioners filed two supplements to the Petition, one regarding general issues and one addressing AD-specific issues, on September 25, 2009 (‘‘Supplement Regarding General Issues to the AD/CVD Petition’’ and ‘‘Supplement to the AD Petition,’’ respectively). On September 25, 2009, the Department requested further information from Petitioners, including suggested refinements to the scope. On September 29, 2009, Petitioners filed a second supplement to the Petition in response to the Department’s September 25, 2009 request (‘‘Second Supplement Regarding General Issues to the AD/CVD Petition’’). Also, on September 29, 2009, the Department issued additional requests to Petitioners for further information and clarification of certain areas of the Petition. Based on the Department’s request, Petitioners again filed two supplements to the Petition, one regarding general issues and one addressing AD-specific issues, on October 1, 2009 (‘‘Third Supplement Regarding General Issues to the AD/CVD Petition’’ and ‘‘Second Supplement to the AD Petition’’). On September 30, 2009, the Department requested comments from Petitioners on revisions made by the Department to the proposed scope language. In response to the Department’s request, Petitioners reiterated their scope comments filed in the Second Supplement Regarding General Issues to the AD/CVD Petition.

In accordance with section 732(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), Petitioners allege that imports of seamless pipe from the PRC are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value, within the meaning of section 731 of the Act, and that such imports materially injure, and threaten further material injury to, an industry in the United States. The Department finds that Petitioners filed the Petition on behalf of the domestic industry and unions because Petitioners are interested parties, as defined in section 771(9)(C) and (D) of the Act, and have demonstrated sufficient industry support with respect to the investigation that they request the Department to initiate (see ‘‘Determination of Industry Support for the Petition’’ below). Scope of Investigation The products covered by this investigation are seamless pipe from the PRC. For a full description of the scope of the investigation, please see the ‘‘Scope of the Investigation’’ in Appendix I of this notice. Comments on the Scope of Investigation During our review of the Petition, we discussed the scope of the investigation with Petitioners and suggested a number of revisions to the scope language, including the removal from the scope of all language that relies on end-use to define covered merchandise. While Petitioners made a number of the suggested revisions to the scope, they did not remove end-use language from the scope. See Supplement Regarding General Issues to the AD/CVD Petition at 4; Second Supplement Regarding General Issues to the AD/CVD Petition, Item 3; and Scope Memorandum. The Department has inherent authority to define the scope of the investigation and may depart from the scope as proposed by a petition. NTN Bearing Corp. v. U.S., 747 F. Supp. 726, 731 (CIT 1990). In this case, consistent with the position taken in circular welded carbon quality steel pipe from the PRC, we have revised the scope by removing all enduse language from it. See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Affirmative Final Determination of Critical Circumstances: Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe from the People’s Republic of China, 73 FR 31970 (June 5, 2008) (‘‘Circular Welded Pipe’’) at E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM 14OCN1

Department officials. See Ex-parte Memorandum to the File through 
Angelica L. Mendoza, Program Manager, Office 7, from Patrick Edwards 
and Brian Davis, Case Analysts, titled ``Administrative Review of the 
Antidumping Duty Order on Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from 
Netherlands: Meeting with Counsel for Respondent,'' dated July 17, 
2009.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order is all purified 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 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 the order 
is classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States at 
subheading 3912.31.00. This tariff classification is provided for

Memorandum for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review of Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from the Netherlands,'' dated 
October 7, 2009 (Issues and Decision Memorandum), which is hereby 
adopted by this notice. A list of the issues raised, all of which are 
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice as

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received from the interested 
parties, we have made changes to the margin calculation for CP Kelco, 
in order to account for CP Kelco's factoring expenses as a direct 
selling expense. For a discussion of the changes which the Department 
has made to the margin calculation for CP Kelco, see ``Memorandum to 
the File: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of 
Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from the Netherlands: Analysis of the 
Sales Responses Submitted by CP Kelco B.V.,'' dated October 7, 2009. A 
public version of this memorandum is on file in the Central Records 
Unit.

Final Results of the Review

    We determine the following percentage weighted-average margin 
exists for the period July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

CP Kelco B.V........................................       24.23 percent
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the Department 
normally calculates an assessment rate for each importer of the subject 
merchandise covered by the review. CP Kelco has reported entered values 
for all of its sales of subject merchandise to the United States during 
the POR. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have 
calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates by dividing the 
dumping margin found on the subject merchandise examined by the entered 
value of such merchandise for normal customs duty purposes.\1\ These 
rates will be assessed uniformly on all entries of the respective 
importers made during the POR. Where the assessment rate is above de 
minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess duties on all entries of 
subject merchandise by that importer. The Department intends to issue 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of 
these final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In instances where the importer is unknown (e.g., EP sales), 
we have calculated customer-specific duty assessment rates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR 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 FR 23954 (May 6, 
2003).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice of final results of administrative review 
for all shipments of purified CMC from the Netherlands entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The cash deposit rate for CP Kelco will 
be the rate established in the final results of this review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 
review but covered in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation or previous reviews, the cash deposit rate will continue 
to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; 
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this or any previous 
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 (4) if neither the 
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous 
review or the LTFV investigation conducted by the Department, the cash 
deposit rate will be the all-others rate of 14.57 percent from the LTFV 
investigation. See Notice of Antidumping Duty Orders: Purified 
Carboxymethylcellulose from Finland, Mexico, the Netherlands and 
Sweden, 70 FR 39734 (July 11, 2005). These cash deposit requirements 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
