The Delaware Department of State,
grantee of FTZ 99, submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of
Bloom Energy Corporation (Bloom),
located at sites in Newark, Delaware.
The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 4, 2018.
The Bloom facilities are located
within Subzone 99I. The facilities are
used for the production of commercial
fuel cells and related subassemblies.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
activity would be limited to the specific
foreign-status materials and components
and specific finished products described
in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently
authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Bloom from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus materials/components noted
below, Bloom would be able to choose
the duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to: Piping
manifolds; water distribution modules;
fuel processing units; fuel cell power
modules (DC generator); nickel iron
alloy fuel cell power module enclosures
(housings); power inverters; and, energy
storage and distribution modules (duty
rates range from duty free to 3.8%).

Bloom would be able to avoid duty on
foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The components and materials
sourced from abroad include: Glass
powder; ceramic substrates; plastic
labels; plastic containers with sleeves;
plastic enclosure bags; plastic cable ties;
rubber grommets; adhesives; cardboard

luminosity) measuring devices; mass
flow controllers; power conditioning
systems regulating power control in fuel
cell; mixed alloy interconnecting plates;
and, chromium iron interconnect plates
(duty rates range from duty-free to
8.5%). The request indicates that textile
paper filters will be admitted to the
zone in privileged foreign status (19
CFR 146.41), thereby precluding
inverted tariff benefits on such items.
The request also indicates that certain
materials/components are subject to
special duties under Section 232 of the
Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section
232) and Section 301 of the Trade Act
of 1974 (Section 301), depending on the
country of origin. The applicable
Section 232 and Section 301 decisions
require subject merchandise to be
admitted to FTZs in privileged foreign
status (19 CFR 146.41).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published its Preliminary
Results on August 14, 2018.1 Although
Commerce calculated an antidumping
duty margin for Fufeng in the
Preliminary Results, we are
discontinuing this review, with respect
to Fufeng, as a result of the Court of
International Trade’s (CIT) final court
decision in CP Kelco US, Inc. v. United
States.2 On September 20, 2018, Fufeng
and Tate and Lyle submitted case
briefs.3 No other interested party filed
comments.
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order covers dry
xanthan gum, whether or not coated or
blended with other products. Further,
xanthan gum is included in this order
regardless of physical form, including,
but not limited to, solutions, slurries,
dry powders of any particle size, or

the scope of this order is classified in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States at subheading 3913.90.20.
Although this tariff classification is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description
remains dispositive.4
Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed issues raised in the case
briefs submitted by parties in this
review in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted
by this notice. As the review is being
discontinued with respect to Fufeng,
Commerce considers all issues raised
concerning Fufeng moot and has not
addressed them in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, with the
exception of one issue raised. Appendix
I to this notice provides the issue which
parties raised, and that Commerce
considered. The 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
at https://access.trade.gov and it is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit of the main Department of
Commerce building, Room B8024. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The
signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
version are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As discussed above, we are
discontinuing the review with respect to
Fufeng. Because we are discontinuing
the review with respect to Fufeng, the
dumping margin assigned to separaterate respondents has changed since the
Preliminary Results.
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that Fufeng, Meihua, CP Kelco
(Shandong) Biological Company
Limited (CP Kelco), Deosen Biochemical
Ltd./Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd.
(collectively Deosen), and Shanghai
Smart Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Shanghai
Smart) demonstrated their eligibility for
a separate rate, but that the nonindividually examined respondent,
