through June 30, 2009, administrative
review of saccharin from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 We invited
interested parties to comment on our
Preliminary Results, but no parties
submitted comments. Therefore, the
Preliminary Results are hereby adopted
as the final results.

Background
On March 22, 2010, the Department
published its Preliminary Results of the
review of the antidumping order on
saccharin from the PRC covering the
period July 1, 2008, through June 30,
2009. For the Preliminary Results,
because Kaifeng Xinhua Fine Chemical
Factory (‘‘Kaifeng’’) did not respond to
the Department’s questionnaire, we
were unable to determine if Kaifeng was
eligible for a separate rate.2 Further, in

China: Preliminary Results of the 2008–2009
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR

2 On October 14, 2009, the Department confirmed
that Kaifeng signed for and received our mailing of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
accordance with sections 776(a)(2)(A)
and (B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘Act’’), because the PRCentity (including Kaifeng) failed to
cooperate to the best of its ability by not
responding to our questionnaire, we
found it appropriate to use adverse facts
available.3 Thus, the Department
preliminarily determined that Kaifeng
did not qualify for a separate rate and
instead was part of the PRC entity.4 No
parties commented on the Preliminary
Results.
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is saccharin.
Saccharin is defined as a non-nutritive
sweetener used in beverages and foods,
personal care products such as
toothpaste, table top sweeteners, and
animal feeds. It is also used in
metalworking fluids. There are four
primary chemical compositions of
saccharin: (1) Sodium saccharin
(American Chemical Society Chemical
Abstract Service (‘‘CAS’’) Registry 128–
44–9); (2) calcium saccharin (CAS
Registry 6485–34–3); (3) acid (or
insoluble) saccharin (CAS Registry 81–
07–2); and (4) research grade saccharin.
Most of the U.S.-produced and imported
grades of saccharin from the PRC are
sodium and calcium saccharin, which
are available in granular, powder, spraydried powder, and liquid forms. The
merchandise subject to this order is
currently classifiable under subheading
2925.11.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) and includes all types of
saccharin imported under this HTSUS
subheading, including research and
specialized grades. Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
scope of this order remains dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
Because no parties commented on the
Preliminary Results, we have adopted
the Preliminary Results as the final
results, including the margin
determined therein.5
Final Results of Review
We find that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the
the antidumping duty questionnaire. On January 6,
2009, the Department placed the FedEx
International Air Waybill receipt and delivery
confirmation for the questionnaire issued to Kaifeng
on the record of this administrative review to
confirm that we mailed, and Kaifeng signed for and
received, the questionnaire.

Assessment Rates
The Department has determined, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(‘‘CBP’’) shall assess antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review. The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
this notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the PRCwide entity (which includes Kaifeng),
the cash deposit rate will be 329.94
percent; (2) for previously investigated
or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
not listed above that have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 329.94 percent;
and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice also 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

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 141 / Friday, July 23, 2010 / Notices
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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties. This notice also serves as a
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders
(‘‘APOs’’) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305, which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this
segment of the proceeding. Timely
written notification of the return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation that is subject to
sanction.
This notice of the final results of this
administrative review is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
percentage (not to exceed three percent)
by the ex-vessel value of crab debited
from the allocation. Specific details on
the Program’s cost recovery provision
may be found in the implementing
regulations set forth at 50 CFR 680.44.
Background
NMFS Alaska Region administers the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab
Rationalization Program (Program) in
the North Pacific. Fishing under the
Program began on August 15, 2005.
Regulations implementing the Program
are set forth at 50 CFR part 680.
The Program is a limited access
system authorized by section 313(j) of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act). The Program
includes a cost recovery provision to
collect fees to recover the actual costs
directly related to the management, data
collection, and enforcement of the
Program. NMFS developed the cost
recovery provision to conform to
statutory requirements and to partially
reimburse the agency for the unique
added costs of management, data
collection, and enforcement of the
Program. Section 313(j) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act provided
supplementary authority to section
304(d)(2)(A) and additional detail for
cost recovery provisions specific to the
Program. The cost recovery provision
allows collection of 133 percent of the
actual management, data collection, and
enforcement costs up to three percent of
the ex-vessel value of crab harvested
under the Program. Additionally,
section 313(j) requires the harvesting
and processing sectors to each pay half
the cost recovery fees. Catcher/processor
quota share holders are required to pay
the full fee percentage for crab
processed at sea.
A crab allocation holder generally
incurs a cost recovery fee liability for
every pound of crab landed. The crab
allocations include Individual Fishing
Quota, Crew Individual Fishing Quota,
Individual Processing Quota,
Community Development Quota, and
the Adak community allocation. The
Registered Crab Receiver (RCR) permit
holder must collect the fee liability from
the crab allocation holder who is
landing crab. Additionally, the RCR
permit holder must collect his or her
own fee liability for all crab delivered to
the RCR. The RCR permit holder is
responsible for submitting this payment
to NMFS on or before the due date of
July 31, in the year following the crab
fishing year in which landings of crab
were made.
The dollar amount of the fee due is
determined by multiplying the fee

Each year, NMFS calculates and
publishes in the Federal Register the fee
percentage according to the factors and
methodology described in Federal
regulations at § 680.44(c)(2). The
formula for determining the fee
percentage is the ‘‘direct program costs’’
divided by ‘‘value of the fishery,’’ where
‘‘direct program costs’’ are the direct
program costs for the Program for the
previous fiscal year, and ‘‘value of the
fishery’’ is the ex-vessel value of the
catch subject to the crab cost recovery
fee liability for the current year. Fee
collections for any given year may be
less than, or greater than, the actual
costs and fishery value for that year,
because, by regulation, the fee
percentage is established in the first
quarter of a crab fishery year based on
the fishery value and the costs of the
prior year.
Using this fee percentage formula, the
estimated percentage of costs to value
for the 2009/2010 fishery was 2.67
percent. Therefore, the fee percentage
will be 2.67 percent for the 2010/2011
crab fishing year.
