Notification to Importers
This notice 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 and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could
result in the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of
doubled 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.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h).

2014. This review covers three
producers/exporters: (1) Heze Huayi
Chemical Co. Ltd. (‘‘Heze Huayi’’); (2)
Hebei Jiheng Chemical Co., Ltd. and
Hebei Jiheng Baikang Chemical Industry
Co., Ltd. (collectively, ‘‘Jiheng’’); and (3)
Juancheng Kangtai Chemical Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Kangtai’’). We invited parties to
comment on our Preliminary Results.
Based on our analysis of the comments
received, we made certain changes to
our margin calculations for all three
respondents. The final dumping
margins for this review are listed in the
‘‘Final Results’’ section below.

Adjustments for Countervailable
Subsidies
Because no respondent established
eligibility for an adjustment under
section 777A(f) of the Act for
countervailable domestic subsidies, the
Department, for these final results, did
not make an adjustment pursuant to
section 777A(f) of the Act for
countervailable domestic subsidies.11
Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the
Act, the Department made an
adjustment for countervailable export

zero because no countervailable export
subsidies were found in the final
determination of the CVD investigation.
For the PRC-wide entity, since the entity
is not currently under review, its rate is
not subject to change.14
Final Results
We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the POR:
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review when the importerspecific assessment rate is above de
minimis. Where either the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues that
parties raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum follows as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). ACCESS is available
to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and to all parties in
the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum
and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made
revisions to the margin calculations for all companies.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum, at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjustments for Countervailable Subsidies
Because no respondent established eligibility for an adjustment
under section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable domestic
subsidies, the Department, for these final results, did not make an
adjustment pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable
domestic subsidies.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Preliminary Results, and accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum, at 24.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act, the Department made an
adjustment for countervailable export subsidies.\12\ For Heze Huayi and
Jiheng, we made adjustments to reported U.S. prices.\13\ The adjustment
for Kangtai is zero because no countervailable export subsidies were
found in the final determination of the CVD investigation. For the PRC-
wide entity, since the entity is not currently under review, its rate
is not subject to change.\14\

Final Results
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the POR:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weight-
average
Exporter dumping
margin
percentage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heze Huayi Chemical Co., Ltd............................... 0.00
Hebei Jiheng Chemical Co., Ltd............................. 1.15
Juancheng Kangtai Chemical Co., Ltd........................ 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of
these final results of this review. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- (or customer-) specific
assessment rates for the merchandise subject to this review.
For each individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the Department
will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of sales.\15\ We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment rate is
above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act): (1) For the exporter's listed above, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the final results of this review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, a zero cash deposit rate
will be required for that company); (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that have separate
rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing producer/
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 285.63 percent; \16\ and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations performed regarding these final
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice in
this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement
[[Page 1169]]
of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result
in the Department's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping
duties has occurred and that subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as the only 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 or
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This administrative review and notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h).
