SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 4, 2017, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on CVP 23 from
India.1 Commerce exercised its
discretion to toll all deadlines affected
by the closure of the Federal
Government from January 20 through
January 22, 2018. As a result, the
revised deadline for the final results of
this review is now April 6, 2018.2
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the
Order 3 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] 4 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

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

available 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

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed
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, we have not made changes to
the Preliminary Results.6 Because
Pidilite withheld requested information,
failed to provide information in a timely
manner and in the form requested, and
significantly impeded this proceeding,
we continue to find that Pidilite failed
to cooperate to the best of its ability and,
accordingly, find it appropriate to assign
it a margin based on adverse facts
available (AFA) in accordance with
sections 776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A), (B), (C)
and 776(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended. For further discussion, see the
Issues and 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.7
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.8 Therefore, imports of the
subject merchandise from Pidilite
during the review period were subject to
countervailing duties for export
subsidies of 17.02 percent. Accordingly,
we have adjusted the dumping margin
for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2015–2016,’’ dated
concurrently with this determination and hereby
adopted by this notice (Issues and Decision
Memorandum).

Assessment Rates
Notification to Importers
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.9 For entries
of the subject merchandise from Pidilite,
we will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties at the adjusted rate
of 49.57 percent.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review.
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 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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, the

that imports of rubber bands from Sri Lanka that are
alleged to be sold at less than fair value and
subsidized by the government of Sri Lanka are
negligible. See Rubber Bands from China, Sri
Lanka, and Thailand; Determinations, 83 FR 12594
