to that of Lizhong.12 Due to the PRC
Government-directed ‘‘Removal and
Relocation’’ project, Lizhong was
obligated to physically transfer
operations away from its production
location to Youyou’s facility.13
Finally, Lizhong has indicated that
there has been no change with its U.S.
customer base or its sale of the subject
merchandise.14 Since Lizhong was
required to move physical facilities,
Youyou stated that it will continue to
sell to all of these U.S. customers the
same subject merchandise using its own
taxpayer ID number.15
On August 1, 2014, the Coalition for
American Hardwood Parity, petitioner
in the underlying investigation,
submitted a letter stating that it does not
object to Lizhong’s request that the
Department grant Youyou successor-ininterest status. As a result, because all
parties to the proceeding agree to the
outcome of the review, the Department
concluded that expedited action is
warranted in this review.16 With the
information provided, we preliminarily
find Youyou as the successor-in-interest
to Lizhong and, as such, that it is
entitled to Lizhong’s cash-deposit rate
with respect to entries of subject
merchandise.
Should our final results remain the
same as these preliminary results, we
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to assign entries of subject
merchandise exported by Youyou the
antidumping duty cash-deposit rate
applicable to Lizhong effective the date
of publication of the final results.

review covers one respondent, CP Kelco

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. The merchandise subject to the
order is classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States at

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, the Department
shall determine and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If CP Kelco’s weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for an importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If CP Kelco’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review, or
an importer-specific rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to dumping margins.7
We intend to issue instructions to CBP
15 days after publication of the final
results of this 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 subject
merchandise 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 CP Kelco Oy will
be the rate established in the final
results of this administrative review
except if the rate is de minimis within
the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for merchandise exported by
manufacturers or exporters not covered
in this review but covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period in which the
manufacturer or exporter participated;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the
original less-than-fair-value
investigation but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 6.65

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a

their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation

occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
