United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes
only; the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.2
Final Determination of No Shipments
Commerce preliminarily found that
Comfort Coil Technology Sdn. Bhd.
(Comfort Coil), did not have any
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR.3 Commerce also found
that Foshan Nanhai Jolyspring (Foshan
Nanhai) did not demonstrate it is
entitled to a separate rate and, thus, we
consider Foshan Nanhai to be part of the
China wide-wide entity.4 After the
Preliminary Results, we received no
comments or additional information
with respect to these two companies.
Therefore, for the final results, we
continue to find that Comfort Coil did
not have any shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, and that
Foshan Nanhai continues to be a part of
the China-wide entity. Consistent with
our practice, we will issue appropriate
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) based on our final
results.
Analysis of Comments Received
As noted above, we received no
comments on the Preliminary Results.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As no parties submitted comments on
the Preliminary Results, Commerce has
not modified its analysis from that
presented in the Preliminary Results,
and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register
notice.
Assessment Rates
jbell on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES
We have not calculated any
assessment rates in this administrative
review. Pursuant to Commerce’s
assessment practice, because we have
determined that Comfort Coil had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered
under that exporter’s case number (i.e.,
at that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated
at the China-wide entity rate.5 We will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries from
the PRC-wide entity (including Foshan
Nanhai) at the current rate for the PRCwide entity (i.e., 234.51 percent).
Commerce intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For previously investigated or
reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese
exporters that received a separate rate in
a prior segment of this proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate published
for the most recently completed period;
(2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, i.e.,
Foshan Nanhai, the cash deposit rate
will be the China-wide rate of 234.51
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 the Chinese exporter that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only
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).
Timely written notification of the return
or 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 subject to sanction.
These final results of administrative and
new shipper reviews are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

initiated, and published the preliminary
results of, the changed circumstances
review of the antidumping duty order
on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) from the
People’s Republic of China (China). For
these final results, Commerce continues

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On October 1, 2003, Commerce
published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on PVA from
China.1 On December 7, 2018, SVW, a
foreign producer and exporter of PVA
from China, and Wego Chemical and
Mineral Corp. (Wego), an importer of
PVA from China (collectively, SVW and
Wego) requested that, pursuant to
section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.216(b), Commerce conduct an
expedited changed circumstances
review of the Order to confirm that SVW
is the successor-in-interest to Sichuan
SVW and, accordingly, to assign SVW

the cash deposit rate of Sichuan SVW.2
In its submission, SVW and Wego
explain that Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon
Works (i.e., Sichuan SVW) has changed
its name to Sinopec Chongqing SVW
Chemical Co., Ltd. (i.e., SVW), and aver
that no substantive changes other than
this change of name have otherwise
occurred.3
On March 4, 2019, we initiated this
changed circumstances review and
published the notice of preliminary
results, determining that SVW is the
successor-in-interest to Sichuan SVW.4
In the Initiation and Preliminary
Results, we provided all interested
parties with an opportunity to comment
and request a public hearing regarding
our preliminary finding.5 We received
no comments or requests for a public
hearing from interested parties within
the time period set forth in the Initiation
and Preliminary Results. The current
deadline for issuance of these final
results of antidumping duty change
circumstances review is April 12, 2019.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is PVA. This product consists of all PVA
hydrolyzed in excess of 80 percent,
whether or not mixed or diluted with
commercial levels of defoamer or boric
acid.6

Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the Initiation
and Preliminary Results, and because
we received no comments from
interested parties to the contrary,
Commerce continues to find that SVW
is the successor-in-interest to Sichuan
SVW.7 As a result of this determination
and consistent with established
practice, we find that SVW should
receive the cash deposit rate previously
assigned to Sichuan SVW in the most
recently-completed segment of the
Order in which Sichuan SVW was
under review.8 As the rate calculated for
Sichuan SVW in that review was de

Register. This cash deposit requirement
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing this determination and
publishing these final results and notice
in accordance with sections 751(b)(1)
