Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 239 / Thursday, December 13, 2018 / Notices
Background
On July 3, 2018, Commerce published
in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on corrosion-resistant steel products
from India for the period January 1,
2017, to December 31, 2017 (POR).1 On
July 31, 2018, Uttam Galva Steels
Limited (Uttam Galva) filed a timely
request for review in accordance with
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).2 On September 10,
2018, based on this request and in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act, Commerce published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of
an administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on certain
corrosion-resistant steel products from
India, covering the POR.3 On October
26, 2018, Uttam Galva timely withdrew
its request for administrative review.4
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the party
that requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. Uttam Galva was
the only interested party that requested
a review of itself. Additionally, Uttam
Galva is the only respondent party to
this review. As noted above, Uttam
Galva withdrew its request for review by
the 90-day deadline. As a result,
Commerce is rescinding the
administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on certain
corrosion-resistant steel products from
India covering the period January 1,
2017, to December 31, 2017.
Assessment
We will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to assess
countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries. Because Commerce is
rescinding this administrative review in
its entirety, the entries to which this
administrative review pertained shall be
assessed countervailing duties at rates
equal to the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,

for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Notifications
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 countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of the countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a final
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.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

the exporters of subject merchandise

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 9, 2018, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results and
gave interested parties an opportunity to
comment.1 Commerce received no
comments. These final results cover 27
companies for which an administrative
review was requested and not
rescinded.2 This review was conducted
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
MSG, whether or not blended or in
solution with other products.
Specifically, MSG that has been blended
or is in solution with other product(s) is
included in this scope when the
resulting mix contains 15 percent or
more of MSG by dry weight. Products
with which MSG may be blended
include, but are not limited to, salts,
sugars, starches, maltodextrins, and
various seasonings. Further, MSG is
included in this order regardless of
physical form (including, but not
limited to, in monohydrate or
anhydrous form, or as substrates,
solutions, dry powders of any particle
size, or unfinished forms such as MSG
slurry), end-use application, or
packaging. MSG in monohydrate form
has a molecular formula of C5H8NO4NaH2O, a Chemical Abstract Service (CAS)
registry number of 6106–04–3, and a
Unique Ingredient Identifier (UNII)
number of W81N5U6R6U. MSG in
anhydrous form has a molecular
formula of C5H8NO4Na, a CAS registry
number of 142–47–2, and a UNII

provided for convenience and customs
purposes; however, the written
description of the scope is dispositive.3
Final Results of Review
Commerce preliminarily determined
that none of the companies subject to
this review demonstrated eligibility for
separate rate status and were thus found
to be part of the China-wide entity.4 As
noted above, Commerce received no
comments concerning the Preliminary
Results of this segment of the
proceeding. As there are no changes
from, or comments upon, the
Preliminary Results, Commerce finds
that there is no reason to modify its
analysis. Accordingly, no decision
memorandum accompanies this Federal
Register notice. For further details of the
issues addressed in this proceeding, see
the Preliminary Results.5 In these final
results of review, we continued to treat
all 27 exporters subject to this review as
part of the China-wide entity.6 The
China-wide entity rate is 40.41 percent.7
China-Wide Entity

Commerce’s policy regarding the
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.8 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity in this
review, the entity is not under review

Assessment Rates
Commerce has determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in this review, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication in the Federal Register
of these final results of this
administrative review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding, but who have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (2) for all
Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the China-wide
entity rate (i.e., 40.41 percent); and (3)
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to Chinese
exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also 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
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.
