Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 127 / Monday, July 2, 2012 / Notices
available on the Department’s Web site
at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/ia-highlightsand-news.html on the date of
publication of this initiation notice in
the Federal Register. The separate-rate
application will be due 60 days after
publication of this initiation notice. In
the PRC investigation, for exporters and
producers who submit a separate-rate
status application and subsequently are
selected as mandatory respondents,
these exporters and producers will no
longer be eligible for consideration for
separate rate status unless they respond
to all parts of the questionnaire as
mandatory respondents. As noted in the
‘‘Respondent Selection’’ section above,
the Department requires that
respondents submit a response to both
the quantity and value questionnaire
and the separate-rate application by the
respective deadlines in order to receive
consideration for separate-rate status.
The quantity and value questionnaire
will be available on the Department’s
Web site at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/iahighlights-and-news.html on the date of
the publication of this initiation notice
in the Federal Register.
Use of Combination Rates in an NME
Investigation
The Department will calculate
combination rates for certain
respondents that are eligible for a
separate rate in this investigation. The
Separate Rates and Combination Rates
Bulletin states:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
{w}hile continuing the practice of assigning
separate rates only to exporters, all separate
rates that the Department will now assign in
its NME investigations will be specific to
those producers that supplied the exporter
during the period of investigation. Note,
however, that one rate is calculated for the
exporter and all of the producers which
supplied subject merchandise to it during the
period of investigation. This practice applies
both to mandatory respondents receiving an
individually calculated separate rate as well
as the pool of non-investigated firms
receiving the weighted-average of the
individually calculated rates. This practice is
referred to as the application of ‘‘combination
rates’’ because such rates apply to specific
combinations of exporters and one or more
producers. The cash-deposit rate assigned to
an exporter will apply only to merchandise
both exported by the firm in question and
produced by a firm that supplied the exporter
during the period of investigation.
In accordance with section
732(b)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.202(f), copies of the public version
of the Petitions have been provided to
the Government of the PRC and

Preliminary Determinations by the ITC
The ITC will preliminarily determine
no later than July 20, 2012, whether
there is a reasonable indication that
imports of xanthan gum from Austria
and the PRC are materially injuring or
threatening material injury to a U.S.
industry. A negative ITC determination
for any country will result in the
investigation being terminated with
respect to that country; otherwise, these
investigations will proceed according to
statutory and regulatory time limits.
Notification to Interested Parties
Interested parties must submit
applications for disclosure under APO
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On
January 22, 2008, the Department
published Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Documents Submission Procedures;
APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (Jan. 22,
2008). Parties wishing to participate in
these investigations should ensure that
they meet the requirements of these
procedures (e.g., the filing of letters of
appearance as discussed at 19 CFR
351.103(d)).
Any party submitting factual
information in an AD/countervailing
duty (‘‘CVD’’) proceeding must certify to
the accuracy and completeness of that
information.63 Parties are hereby
reminded that revised certification
requirements are in effect for company/
government officials as well as their
representatives in all segments of any
AD/CVD proceedings initiated on or
after March 14, 2011.64 The formats for
the revised certifications are provided at
the end of the Interim Final Rule. The
Department intends to reject factual

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigations
The scope of these investigations covers
dry xanthan gum, whether or not coated or
blended with other products. Further,
xanthan gum is included in these
investigations regardless of physical form,
including, but not limited to, solutions,
slurries, dry powders of any particle size, or
unground fiber.
Xanthan gum that has been blended with
other product(s) is included in this scope
when the resulting mix contains 15 percent
or more of xanthan gum by dry weight. Other
products with which xanthan gum may be
blended include, but are not limited to,
sugars, minerals, and salts.
Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide produced
by aerobic fermentation of Xanthomonas
campestris. The chemical structure of the
repeating pentasaccharide monomer unit
consists of a backbone of two P-1,4-DGiucose- monosaccharide units, the second
with a trisaccharide side chain consisting of
P-D-Mannose-(1,4)- P-DGiucuronic acid(1,2)—a-D-Mannose monosaccharide units.
The terminal mannose may be pyruvylated
and the internal mannose unit may be
acetylated.
Merchandise covered by the scope of these
investigations is classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States at
subheading 3913.90.20. This tariff
classification is provided for convenience
and customs purposes; however, the written
description of the scope is dispositive.

Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews
initiated pursuant to requests made for
the orders identified below, the
Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S.
imports during the period of review. We
intend to release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order
(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO
within five days of publication of the
initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 21 days of publication of the
initiation Federal Register notice.
Therefore, we encourage all parties
interested in commenting on respondent
selection to submit their APO
applications on the date of publication
of the initiation notice, or as soon
thereafter as possible. The Department
invites comments regarding the CBP
data and respondent selection within
five days of placement of the CBP data
on the record of the review.
In the event the Department decides
it is necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and
conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:

that determinations concerning whether
particular companies should be
