SUMMARY: In response to a request from an interested party, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the period July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. This administrative review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, i.e., United Initiators (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (‘‘United Initiators’’). We preliminarily determine that United Initiators does not qualify for a separate rate because it did not respond to the Department’s request for information; thus, as adverse facts available, we are assigning to United Initiators, as part of the PRC-wide entity, the PRC-wide rate. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise exported srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: 2 See Letter from Petitioners, Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s Republic of China: Request of Postponement of Preliminary Determination, dated March 3, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 7, 1997, the Department published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the PRC.1 On July 1, 2010, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the PRC.2 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), on July 30, 2010, FMC Corporation, a domestic producer of persulfates, requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of United Initiators’ exports to the United States for the POR July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. Pursuant to this request, the Department published a notice of initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the PRC.3 On October 5, 2010, the Department issued an antidumping duty questionnaire to United Initiators. On October 8, 2010, we confirmed that United Initiators signed for and received 1 See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order and Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Persulfates from the People’s Republic of China, 62 FR 36259 (July 7, 1997) (‘‘Persulfates Order and Amended Final’’), amended by Notice of Amended Antidumping Duty Order: Persulfates From the People’s Republic of China, 62 FR 39212 (July 22, 1997) (‘‘Persulfates Amended Order’’). 2 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 75 FR 38074 (July 1, 2010). 3 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010) (‘‘September 29 Initiation Notice’’). In the initiation notice that published on August 31, 2010, the Department incorrectly initiated an administrative review of the company FMC Corporation, the domestic producer of persulfates, for the instant administrative review of persulfates from the PRC. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of Initiation of Administrative Review, 75 FR 53274 (August 31, 2010). However, in the initiation notice that published on September 29, 2010, the Department retracted its initiation of an administrative review of FMC Corporation. See September 29 Initiation Notice, 75 FR at 60081–82, n.9. PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 our mailing of the antidumping duty questionnaire. United Initiators did not respond to the Department’s antidumping duty questionnaire. On January 3, 2011, the Department placed on the record of this administrative review the UPS International Air Waybill receipt and delivery confirmation for the questionnaire issued to United Initiators to confirm that we mailed, and United Initiators received and signed for, the questionnaire. Scope of the Order The products covered by this review are persulfates, including ammonium, potassium, and sodium persulfates. The chemical formula for these persulfates are, respectively, (NH4)2S2O8, K2S2O8, and Na2S2O8. Potassium persulfates are currently classifiable under subheading 2833.40.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Sodium persulfates are classifiable under HTSUS subheading 2833.40.20. Ammonium and other persulfates are classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 2833.40.50 and 2833.40.60. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this review is dispositive. Non-Market Economy Country Status In every case conducted by the Department involving the PRC, the PRC has been treated as a non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) country.4 In accordance with section 771(18)(C)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), any determination that a foreign country is an NME country shall remain in effect until revoked by the administering authority. Because no interested party in this case has contested such treatment, the Department continues to treat the PRC as an NME country. PRC-Wide Rate and Use of Facts Available In proceedings involving NME countries, the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the Department’s policy to assign all 4 See, e.g., Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: Coated Free Sheet Paper from the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 30758, 30760 (June 4, 2007), unchanged in Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Coated Free Sheet Paper from the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 60632 (October 25, 2007).
