Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 137 / Monday, July 18, 2011 / Notices
Background
On April 12, 2011, 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
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, 2009,
through June 30, 2010, is as follows:
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
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 ‘‘allothers’’ rate established in the less-thanfair value (LTFV) investigation if there
is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because we revoked the order with an
effective date of July 11, 2010, no cash
deposits for estimated antidumping
duties are required.1
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

Department determined that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on PTFE
resin from Italy would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail should the order be revoked. See

On July 7, 2011, the ITC published its
determination in the Federal Register,
pursuant to section 751(c)(1) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on PTFE resin from Italy would
likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See
