International Trade Administration April 12, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In response to a request from petitioner Aqualon Company, a unit of Hercules Incorporated (Aqualon), the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on purified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) from Mexico. The review covers exports of the subject merchandise to the United States produced and exported by Quimica Amtex S.A. de C.V. (Amtex); the period of review (POR) is July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. We preliminarily find that Amtex has made sales at less than normal value (NV) during the POR. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties based on differences between the export price (EP) or constructed export price (CEP) and NV. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit arguments in this proceeding are requested to submit with the arguments: (1) A statement of the issues, (2) a brief summary of the arguments, and (3) a table of authorities.

In response to a petition for a changed circumstances review (``CCR'') of Grobest & I-Mei Industrial (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (``Grobest & I-Mei''), the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') is initiating a CCR of the antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam''). We have preliminarily concluded that Viet I-Mei Frozen Foods Co., Ltd. (``Viet I-Mei'') is the successor-in-interest to Grobest & I-Mei, and, as a result, should be accorded the same treatment previously accorded to Grobest & I-Mei, with regard to the antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
