Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: International Trade
Administration.
Title: Proposed Information
Collection; Comment Request; EU–U.S.
Privacy Shield; Invitation for
Applications for Inclusion on the List of
Arbitrators.
OMB Control Number: 0625–0277.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 60.
Average Hours per Response: 240
minutes.
Burden Hours: 240 hours.
Needs and Uses: Under the Privacy
Shield, the U.S. Department of
Commerce (DOC) and the European
Commission have committed to
implement an arbitration mechanism to
provide European individuals with the
ability to invoke binding arbitration to
determine, for residual claims, whether
an organization has violated its
obligations under the Privacy Shield.
The DOC and the European Commission
will work together to implement the
arbitration mechanism. Consistent with
applicable law, DOC and the European
Commission will develop a list of at
least 20 arbitrators, chosen on the basis
of independence, integrity, and
expertise. Parties to a binding
arbitration under this Privacy Shield
mechanism may only select arbitrators
from this list. The arbitral mechanism is
a critical component of the EU–U.S.
Privacy Shield Framework and must be
implemented as soon as possible to

preserve the integrity of the Privacy
Shield program. More than 2,500 U.S.based organizations currently rely on
the Privacy Shield to transfer the
personal data from Europe to the United
States necessary to do business across
the Atlantic. Such a data transfer
mechanism is critically important,
because it underpins almost $300
billion in digitally deliverable services
traded across the Atlantic each year.
Affected Public: Private individuals.
Frequency: Recurrent, depending on
the number of arbitrators required to
retain an active list of 20 arbitrators.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed

International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on carbazole
violet pigment 23 (CVP 23) from India.
The period of review (POR) is December
1, 2015, through November 30, 2016.
The review covers one producer/
exporter of the subject merchandise,
Pidilite Industries Limited (Pidilite).
The Department preliminarily finds that
subject merchandise has been sold in
the United States at prices below normal
value (NV) during the POR.
DATES: Applicable December 4, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the
Order 1 is CVP–23 identified as Color
Index No. 51319 and Chemical Abstract
No. 6358–30–1, with the chemical name
of diindolo [3,2-b:3′,2′m] 2 triphenodioxazine, 8,18-dichloro-5,
15-diethy-5, 15-dihydro-, and molecular
formula of C34 H22 Cl2 N4 O2. The
subject merchandise includes the crude
pigment in any form (e.g., dry powder,
paste, wet cake) and finished pigment in
the form of presscake and dry color.
Pigment dispersions in any form (e.g.,
pigments dispersed in oleoresins,
flammable solvents, water) are not
included within the scope of the order.
The merchandise subject to the Order
is classifiable under subheading
3204.17.9040 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) and (a)(2) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 A
list of the topics included in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
included as an appendix to this notice.
The Preliminary 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 Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/
index.html. The signed Preliminary
Decision Memorandum and the
electronic version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Adverse Facts Available
Because mandatory respondent
Pidilite has failed to provide requested
information, and has failed to cooperate
by not acting to the best of its ability to
comply with a request for information
from the Department in this review, we
preliminarily determine to apply facts
otherwise available with an adverse
inference (AFA) to this respondent, in
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. For
further discussion, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Adjustment for Export Subsidies
For Pidilite, in the original
investigation, we subtracted the portion
of the countervailing duty rate
attributable to export subsidies (17.02
percent) from the final dumping margin
of 66.59 percent in order to calculate the
cash-deposit rate of 49.57 percent.4
Since the publication of the
Antidumping Duty Order we have not
conducted an administrative review of
the countervailing duty order on CVP 23
from India.5 Therefore, the portion of
the countervailing duty rate attributable
to export subsidies currently in effect
for Pidilite is 17.02 percent. Further,
imports from Pidilite during the review
period were subject to countervailing
duties to offset export subsidies of 17.02
percent or more. Because the AFA rate
we selected for this review is the margin
we calculated for Pidilite in the
investigation, we have adjusted the
dumping margin to ensure that, in
accordance with section 772(c)(1)(C) of
the Act, we do not collect duties
attributable to export subsidies twice.
Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine that, for
the period of December 1, 2015, through
November 30, 2016, the following
weighted-average dumping margin
exists:

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 Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
The preliminary results of review are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

chemical name of diindolo [3,2-b:3',2'-m] \2\ triphenodioxazine, 8,18-
dichloro-5, 15-diethy-5, 15-dihydro-, and molecular formula of C34 H22
Cl2 N4 O2. The subject merchandise includes the crude pigment in any
form (e.g., dry powder, paste, wet cake) and finished pigment in the
form of presscake and dry color. Pigment dispersions in any form (e.g.,
pigments dispersed in oleoresins, flammable solvents, water) are not
included within the scope of the order.

Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section

Act). For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\3\ A list of the

Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India; 2015-2016'' (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum) dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by,
this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adverse Facts Available
Because mandatory respondent Pidilite has failed to provide
requested information, and has failed to cooperate by not acting to the
best of its ability to comply with a request for information from the
Department in this review, we preliminarily determine to apply facts
otherwise available with an adverse inference (AFA) to this respondent,
in accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.308. For further discussion, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Adjustment for Export Subsidies
For Pidilite, in the original investigation, we subtracted the
portion of the countervailing duty rate attributable to export
subsidies (17.02 percent) from the final dumping margin of 66.59
percent in order to calculate the cash-deposit rate of 49.57
percent.\4\ Since the publication of the Antidumping Duty Order we have
not conducted an administrative review of the countervailing duty order
on CVP 23 from India.\5\ Therefore, the portion of the countervailing
duty rate attributable to export subsidies currently in effect for
Pidilite is 17.02 percent. Further, imports from Pidilite during the
review period were subject to countervailing duties to offset export
subsidies of 17.02 percent or more. Because the AFA rate we selected
for this review is the margin we calculated for Pidilite in the
investigation, we have adjusted the dumping margin to ensure that, in
accordance with section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act, we do not collect
duties attributable to export subsidies twice.

Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine that, for the period of December 1,
2015, through November 30, 2016, the following weighted-average dumping
margin exists:

Disclosure and Public Comment
Normally, the Department discloses to interested parties the
calculations performed in connection with the preliminary results
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of
preliminary results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, there are no calculations to disclose in
connection with these presliminary results because, in accordance with
section 776 of the Act, the Department preliminarily applied AFA to
Pidilite, the only company that is subject to this review, and the
Department has preliminarily determined as the AFA rate a dumping
margin applied in a prior segment of this proceeding.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\11\ The final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.\12\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties
at the adjusted rate of 49.57 percent if CBP has collected the
appropriate countervailing duties on the same entry. We will instruct
CBP to assess antidumping duties at the unadjusted rate of 66.59
percent if the appropriate countervailing duties are not collected by
CBP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following 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 Pidilite will be
the rate established in the final results of this review; (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 recently-completed segment of this
proceeding in which the company was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-
fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently-
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 27.48 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\13\ These cash deposit

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
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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
The preliminary results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: November 27, 2017.
