SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 8, 2013, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PVA from 
Taiwan.\1\ The period of review is September 13, 2010, through February

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 78 FR 20890 (April 8, 2013) 
(Preliminary Results) and the accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary 
Results. We received a case brief from CCPC on May 8, 2013, in which it 
alleged one clerical error in the calculation. The petitioner, Sekisui 
Specialty Chemicals, LLC, did not file a case or rebuttal brief.
    The Department has conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the antidumping duty order is PVA. This

[[Page 37795]]

product consists of all PVA hydrolyzed in excess of 80 percent, whether 
or not mixed or diluted with commercial levels of defoamer or boric

the scope of this order. PVB-grade low-ash PVA is defined to be PVA 
that meets the following specifications: Hydrolysis, Mole % of 98.40 
 0.40, 4% Solution Viscosity 30.00  2.50 
centipois, and ash--ISE, wt% less than 0.60, 4% solution color 20 mm

convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the 
merchandise subject to the order is dispositive.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have corrected 
the programming error in the weighted-average dumping margin 
calculation in the Preliminary Results. This change, however, did not 
affect the final weighted-average dumping margin for CCPC. A detailed 
discussion of the corrections made is included in the final analysis 
memorandum,\2\ which is hereby adopted by this notice and is on file 
electronically via Import Administration's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA 
ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov, and is available to all parties in the Central 
Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of this review, we determine that a weighted-average 
dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for CCPC for the period September 
13, 2010, through February 29, 2012.

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews,\3\ we will

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

    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the period of review produced by CCPC for which it 
did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In 
such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the country-specific 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).
    We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of PVA from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by 
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for CCPC will 
be 0.00 percent, the weighted-average dumping margin established in the

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 comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that

assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
