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 Villares’ 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 each importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Villares’ weightedaverage dumping margin continues to be
zero or de minimis in the final results
of review, we will instruct CBP not to
assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews, i.e., {w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the
exporter is determined to be zero or de
minimis, no antidumping duties will be
assessed.’’ 5
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Villares for
which they did not know their
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers 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.

section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for Villares will be the rate

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

if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the

Notification to Importers
This notice 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
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

The following cash deposit

percent), in which case the cash deposit

participating in this review, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original 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 9.99
percent, the all-others rate established

Tolling of Deadline of Preliminary
Results of Review
As explained in the memorandum
from the Acting Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department has exercised its discretion
to toll all administrative deadlines due
to the recent closure of the Federal
Government. All deadlines in this
segment of the proceeding have been
extended by four business days.3
Rescission of the Administrative
Review in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
based on timely withdrawal of the
requests for review, we are rescinding
this administrative review with respect
to 189 companies named in the
Initiation Notice.4 See Appendix II for a
full list of these companies.
Separate Rates
The Department preliminarily
determines that the Fangda Group,
Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co.,
Ltd. (Fushun Jinly), and Xuzhou
Jianglong Carbon Products Co., Ltd.
(Xuzhou Jianglong) are eligible to
receive separate rates in this review.5
Separate Rate for an Eligible NonSelected Company
Consistent with our practice, because
we have calculated zero or de minimis
weighted-average dumping margins for
both companies selected as mandatory
respondents, the Fangda Group and
Fushun Jinly, we assigned to an eligible
non-selected company, Xuzhou
Jianlong, the rate that we calculated for
the Fangda Group in the 2012–2013
review as the separate rate for the
preliminary results of this review.6

The Department’s change in policy
regarding conditional review of the
PRC-wide entity applies to this review.7

will not be under review unless a party

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 covered by this
review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the examined sales to the total entered value of the examined sales
to that importer. We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-
specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review
is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or the importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\7\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 41 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Camesa will be
the rate established in the final results of this review, except if the
rate is de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1) (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent), in which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the original 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 9.99 percent, the
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\8\ These requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
[[Page 12468]]
regarding the reimbursement 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 occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: March 2, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
