and CP Kelco Oy (CP Kelco), the
Department of Commerce (the

date of publication of this notice, unless
extended, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
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 an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the 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
weighted-average 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
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003.8 This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by CP Kelco
for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.

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
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.9 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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 comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: On February 26, 2015, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the notice of
initiation and the preliminary results of
the changed circumstances review
(CCR) of the antidumping duty order on
certain cased pencils (pencils) from the
People’s Republic of China (PRC), in
which the Department preliminarily
determined that Beijing FILA Dixon
Stationery Co., Ltd.1 (Beijing Dixon), as
currently structured under its new
business license, is the successor-ininterest to Beijing Dixon.2 For these
final results, the Department continues
to find that Beijing Dixon is the
successor-in-interest to Beijing Dixon as
that entity existed at the time the
Department revoked the order 3 with
respect to Beijing Dixon.4 Accordingly,
the Revocation of the antidumping duty
Order with respect to Beijing Dixon
continues to apply to Beijing Dixon as
currenly structured.

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

basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the 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 weighted-
average 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\

The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\8\ This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by CP Kelco for which it did not

the final results of this review.

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

will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or
