The antidumping duty order on
certain pasta from Turkey published in
the Federal Register on July 24, 1996.1
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
we received a timely request for a new
shipper review of the order from
Durum.2 Durum certified that it is both
the producer and exporter of the subject
merchandise upon which the request
was based.3
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),
Durum certified that it did not export
subject merchandise to the United
States during the period of investigation
(POI).4 In addition, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR

Period of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(A) of the Act, the period
of review (POR) for the new shipper
reviews of Durum is July 1, 2014,
through June 30, 2015.
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), the
Department finds that the request from
Durum meets the threshold
requirements for initiation of a new
shipper review for shipments of certain
pasta from Turkey produced and
exported by Durum.7
The Department intends to issue the
preliminary results of this new shipper
review no later than 180 days from the
date of initiation and the final results of
the review no later than 90 days after
the date the preliminary results are
issued.8
We will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection to allow, at the option
of the importer, the posting, until the
completion of the review, of a bond or
security in lieu of a cash deposit for
each entry of the subject merchandise
from Durum in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e). Because Durum certified
that it produced and exported subject
merchandise, the sale of which is the
basis for the request for a new shipper
review, we will apply the bonding
privilege to Durum only for subject
merchandise which was produced and
exported by Durum.
To assist in its analysis of the bona

of this new shipper review, the
Department will require Durum to

the antidumping duty (AD) order on
purified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)

Background
On June 8, 2015, the Department
published the Preliminary Results. The
POR is July 1, 2013, through June 30,
2014. We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments or requests
for a hearing from any party. The
Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
all purified 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 the order
is currently 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 on the record of this
segment of the proceeding. As there are
no changes from, or comments upon,
the Preliminary Results, the Department
finds that there is no reason to modify
its analysis. Thus, we continue to find
that sales of subject merchandise by
Akzo Nobel were not made at less than
normal value during the POR.

I. Abstract
The Department of Commerce is
responsible for the Baldrige
Performance Excellence Program (BPEP)
and the Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award (MBNQA), the nation’s
highest award for organizational
performance excellence. Directly
associated with this award is the Board
of Examiners, an integral volunteer
workforce for BPEP. NIST manages
BPEP. An applicant organization for the
MBNQA is required to perform two
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:04 Sep 01, 2015
Jkt 235001
steps: (1) The applicant organization
self-certifies that it meets eligibility
requirements with an eligibility form;
and (2) the applicant organization
prepares and completes an application
package. BPEP will assist with or offer
advice on any questions or issues that
the applicant may have concerning the
eligibility or application processes; this
includes BPEP staff manning a hotline
during the week and on weekends for
organizations to call or email. With the
help of the Board of Examiners, BPEP
will use the eligibility forms and
application package to assess and
provide feedback on the applicant’s
performance excellence practices. These
practices could lead to a MBNQA
awarded by the President of the United
States or his delegate.
Per Public Law 100–107 (Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Improvement
Act of 1987), the MBNQA helps to
stimulate American companies to
improve quality and productivity for the
pride of recognition while obtaining a
competitive edge through increased
profits; recognizes the achievements of
those companies that improve the
quality of their goods and services and
provide an example to others;
establishes guidelines and criteria that
can be used by business, industrial,
governmental, and other organizations
in evaluating their own quality
improvement efforts; and provides
specific guidance for other American
organizations that wish to learn how to
manage for high quality by making
available detailed information on how
winning organizations were able to
change their cultures and achieve
eminence.
The application to be a member of the
Board of Examiners is a one-step,
secure, online process. Each year, BPEP
recruits highly skilled experts in the
fields of manufacturing, service, small
business, health care, education, and
nonprofit, the six Award eligibility
categories, to evaluate the applications
that BPEP receives. Examiners serve for
a one-year term; participation on the
board is entirely voluntary. Examiners
receive three- to four-days of free on-site
training (depending on experience
level); this training has been nationally
recognized for two consecutive years as
part of the number-one leadership
development program in the military/
government category of the Leadership
500 Awards, sponsored by HR.com.
BPEP’s mission to improve the
competitiveness and performance of
U.S. organizations for the benefit of all
U.S. residents.

On June 8, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary Results.
The POR is July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014. We invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. We received no comments
or requests for a hearing from any party. The Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is all purified 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 the order is currently 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 on the record of this segment of the proceeding. As
there are no changes from, or comments upon, the Preliminary Results,
the Department finds that there is no reason to modify its analysis.
Thus, we continue to find that sales of subject merchandise by Akzo
Nobel were not made at less than normal value during the POR.
Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register
notice. For further details of the issues addressed in this proceeding,
see the Preliminary Results and the accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.\3\ The final weighted-average dumping margin for the period
July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014, for Akzo Nobel is as follows:

Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in this review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after publication of these final results of review. Because we
have calculated a zero margin for Akzo Nobel in the final results of
this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\5\ This clarification applies to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced and exported by Akzo Nobel for
which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate un-
reviewed entries at the all-others rate effective during the POR if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\6\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from

Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also 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 comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation, which is subject to sanction.
