SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 14, 2015, the
Department published the Final
Results.5 On December 15, 2015, the
Jangho Companies alleged that certain
ministerial errors were contained in the
Final Results, and requested that the
Department correct such errors.6 No
other party has submitted ministerial
error comments or rebuttal comments.
Before the Department could take
action on the alleged ministerial errors,
both Taizhou United Imp & Exp Co Ltd.
and the Jangho Companies filed a
summons and complaint with the U.S.
Court of International Trade (‘‘CIT’’)
challenging the Final Results, which
vested the CIT with jurisdiction over the
administrative proceeding.7 On

Amendment to Rates for Non-Selected
Companies Under Review
In light of the above corrections, for
the 38 companies for which a review
was requested and not rescinded, but
were not selected as mandatory
respondents, we have recalculated the
net subsidy rate which is based on the
overall subsidy rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents of this review.11
We have also recalculated the net
subsidy rate assigned to those
companies for which we applied AFA
in the Final Results because the AFA
rate includes the individual subsidy
rates determined for the glass for LTAR
and aluminum extrusions for LTAR
programs.12
Amended Final Results of
Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e)
we determine the following amended
final net subsidy rates for the 2013
administrative review:
Correction to the Final Results
Company
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
As discussed in the memoranda
accompanying this notice, and which
are hereby adopted by this notice, we
determine that the Final Results
contained two ministerial errors.10 First,
in Guangzhou Jangho’s glass for less
than adequate remuneration (LTAR)
purchases and benefits spreadsheet, we
inadvertently referenced the wrong
column in the transaction-specific
benefits formulas for Guangzhou
Jangho’s glass purchases. We have
corrected this error by modifying the
relevant formula to refer to the correct
column. Second, in Shanghai Jangho’s
aluminum extrusions for LTAR
purchases and benefits spreadsheet, the
formulas used to reference monthly
aluminum extrusions benchmark prices
were returning the value for the wrong
month in certain instances, and in some
instances we had used incorrect
formulas. We have corrected these
errors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
International Trade Administration
On August 27, 2015, the Department
published a notice of initiation of a new
shipper review of the antidumping duty
order on xanthan gum from the PRC.1
The Department subsequently issued an
antidumping duty questionnaire, and
supplemental questionnaires, to IMJ and
received timely responses thereto. Also,
interested parties submitted comments
on surrogate country and surrogate
value selection.
The Department has exercised its
discretion to toll all administrative
deadlines due to the recent closure of
the Federal Government because of
Snowstorm ‘‘Jonas.’’ Thus, all of the
deadlines in this segment of the
proceeding have been extended by four
business days. The revised deadline for
the preliminary results of this review,
after the four business-day extension,
was February 23, 2016.2 However, on
February 17, 2016, the Department
extended the time period for issuing the
preliminary results of this NSR by 21
days, until March 15, 2016.3

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting a new
shipper review (‘‘NSR’’) of the
antidumping duty order on xanthan
gum from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’). The NSR covers one
exporter and producer of subject
merchandise, Inner Mongolia Jianlong
Biochemical Co., Ltd. (‘‘IMJ’’). The
period of review (‘‘POR’’) is July 1, 2014
through June 30, 2015. The Department
preliminarily determines that IMJ did
not satisfy the regulatory requirements
to request an NSR and did not make a
bona fide sale during the POR;
therefore, we are preliminarily
rescinding this NSR. Interested parties
are invited to comment on the
preliminary results of this review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 14, 2015, the Department published the Final
Results.\5\ On December 15, 2015, the Jangho Companies alleged that
certain ministerial errors were contained in the Final Results, and
requested that the Department correct such errors.\6\ No other party

\6\ See letter from the Jangho Companies to the Department
regarding: ``Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of
China: Ministerial Errors,'' December 15, 2015 (Ministerial Error
Allegation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the Department could take action on the alleged ministerial
errors, both Taizhou United Imp & Exp Co Ltd. and the Jangho Companies
filed a summons and complaint with the U.S. Court of International
Trade (``CIT'') challenging the Final Results, which vested the CIT
with jurisdiction over the administrative proceeding.\7\ On February 8
and 12, 2016, the CIT granted the Department leave to publish amended
final results upon considering the ministerial error allegations.\8\

Correction to the Final Results
As discussed in the memoranda accompanying this notice, and which
are hereby adopted by this notice, we determine that the Final Results
contained two ministerial errors.\10\ First, in Guangzhou Jangho's
glass for less than adequate remuneration (LTAR) purchases and benefits
spreadsheet, we inadvertently referenced the wrong column in the
transaction-specific benefits formulas for Guangzhou Jangho's glass
purchases. We have corrected this error by modifying the relevant
formula to refer to the correct column. Second, in Shanghai Jangho's
aluminum extrusions for LTAR purchases and benefits spreadsheet, the
formulas used to reference monthly aluminum extrusions benchmark prices
were returning the value for the wrong month in certain instances, and
in some instances we had used incorrect formulas. We have corrected
these errors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Memorandum from Tyler Weinhold and Davina Friedmann,
through Robert James, program Manager, Office VI, to Scot Fullerton,
Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office VI, regarding: ``Administrative
Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum Extrusions from the
People's Republic of China: Ministerial Error Allegation,'' dated
concurrently with this memorandum (Amended Final Results Decision
Memorandum), and Memorandum from Tyler Weinhold through Robert
James, Program Manager, Office VI, to the File, regarding:
``Administrative Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum
Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final
Results Analysis Memorandum for the Jangho Companies,'' dated
concurrently with this memorandum (Amended Final Analysis Memorandum
for the Jangho Companies).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amendment to Rates for Non-Selected Companies Under Review
In light of the above corrections, for the 38 companies for which a
review was requested and not rescinded, but were not selected as
mandatory respondents, we have recalculated the net subsidy rate which
is based on the overall subsidy rates calculated for the mandatory
respondents of this review.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ For further information see Memorandum from Davina
Friedmann and Tyler Weinhold, Case Analysts, to Robert James,
Program Manager, Office VI, AD/CVD Operations, regarding:
``Administrative Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum
Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Non-Selected Rate
Calculation Memorandum for the Amended Final Results,'' dated
concurrently with these amended final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have also recalculated the net subsidy rate assigned to those
companies for which we applied AFA in the Final Results because the AFA
rate includes the individual subsidy rates determined for the glass for
LTAR and aluminum extrusions for LTAR programs.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ For further information see Memorandum from Davina
Friedmann and Tyler Weinhold, Case Analysts, to Robert James,
Program Manager, Office VI, AD/CVD Operations, regarding:
``Administrative Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum
Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: AFA Calculation
Memorandum for the Amended Final Results,'' dated concurrently with
these amended final results of review.
\13\ Because the net subsidy rate for the Guang Ya Group did not
change as a result of these amended final results, their net subsidy
rate remains the same as was published in the Final Results. See
Final Results, 80 FR 77325, 77327.
\14\ In the Final Results, the Department misspelled the name of
this company. This error has been corrected for these amended final
results of review.

Amended Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e) we determine the following
