SUMMARY: On April 7, 2011, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

‘‘Department’’) published in the Federal 

Register its preliminary results of the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on 1-

acid (‘‘HEDP’’) from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), covering the 

period April 23, 2009 through March 31, 

2010.1 The Department gave interested 

parties an opportunity to comment on 

the Preliminary Results. After reviewing 

the interested parties’ comments, the 

Department has not made changes to the 

margin for the final results. The final 

dumping margin for this review is listed 

in the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section 

below. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 8, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Compass Chemical LLC (‘‘Petitioner’’) 

and Jiangsu Jianghai Chemical Group 

Co., Ltd. (‘‘Jiangsu Jianghai’’) submitted 

case briefs on May 9, 2011 2 and rebuttal 

briefs on May 16, 2011.3 On July 1, 

2011, the Department placed additional 

information on the record.4 Jiangsu 

Jianghai submitted comments on this 

information on July 15, 2011. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by parties in their 

case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in 

the Memorandum from Christian Marsh, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum for the Final Results of 

the Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review of 1-Hydroxyethylidene-1, 1- 

Diphosphonic Acid from the People’s 

Republic of China’’ (August 2, 2011) 

(‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’), 

which is hereby adopted by this notice. 

A list of the issues addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is 

attached to this notice as an appendix. 

The Issues and Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file in 

the Central Records Unit, Main 

Commerce Building, Room 7046, and is 

accessible on the Web at http:// 

ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and 

electronic version of the memorandum 

are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on an analysis of the comments 

received and other information on 

record of this review, the Department 

has modified its corroboration analysis 

since the Preliminary Results. 

Specifically, the Department has 

supplemented its corroboration analysis 

from the Preliminary Results by using a 

surrogate value for phosphorus 

trichloride on the record of this review 

to corroborate both the surrogate value 

for phosphorus trichloride used in the 

petition and the petition’s normal 

value.5

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

includes all grades of aqueous, acidic 

(non-neutralized) concentrations of 1- 

hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic 

acid,6 also referred to as 

hydroxethlylidenediphosphonic acid, 

hydroxyethanediphosphonic acid, 

acetodiphosphonic acid, and etidronic 

acid. The CAS (Chemical Abstract 

Service) registry number for HEDP is 

2809–21–4. The merchandise subject to 

the order is currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) at subheading 

2931.00.9043. It may also enter under 

HTSUS subheading 2811.19.6090. 

While HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes 

only, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Final Partial Rescission of the 

Administrative Review 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department stated that it intended to 

rescind this administrative review with 

respect to Changzhou Wujin Fine 

Chemical Factory Co., Ltd. (‘‘Wujin 

Fine’’) in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). No parties commented on 

the Department’s intent to rescind. 

Because there is no information or 

argument on the record of this review 

that warrants reconsideration of the 

Department’s intent to rescind, the 

Department is rescinding this 

administrative review with respect to 

Wujin Fine. 

Separate Rates 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department determined that Jiangsu 

Jianghai does not qualify for a separate 

rate in this review and should be treated 

as part of the PRC-wide entity because 

it has failed to demonstrate an absence 

of de jure and de facto government 

control and did not fully participate in

this administrative review. Parties 

commented on the Department’s 

decision to deny Jiangsu Jianghai a 

separate rate. For the final results, the 

Department has analyzed these 

comments and continues to find that 

Jiangsu Jianghai has not qualified for a 

separate rate in this review and, 

therefore, will be treated as part of the 

PRC-wide entity.7

Use of Facts Available and Adverse 

Facts Available (‘‘AFA’’) 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department preliminarily determined to 

use an inference that is adverse to the 

interests of the PRC-wide entity in 

selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available and assigned the 

PRC-wide entity an AFA rate of 72.42 

percent, which was the margin 

calculated in the petition, as adjusted by 

the Department for initiation. Parties 

commented both on the Department’s 

decision to apply AFA and the 

Department’s choice of the AFA rate 

assigned to the PRC-wide entity. For the 

final results, the Department has 

analyzed these comments and continues 

to find that it is appropriate to assign an 

AFA rate of 72.42 percent to the PRCwide entity.8

Corroboration of Secondary 

Information 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department preliminarily determined 

that the 72.42 percent petition rate has 

probative value and, therefore, is 

corroborated to the extent practicable, in 

accordance with section 776(c) of the 

Act. Parties commented on the 

Department’s corroboration of the 72.42 

percent petition rate. For the final 

results, the Department has analyzed 

these comments and continues to find 

that the 72.42 percent petition rate is 

corroborated to the extent practicable.9

Final Results of Review 

The Department has determined that 

the following weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

April 23, 2009, through March 31, 2010: 

Exporter 

Antidumping 

duty percent 

margin 

PRC-Wide Entity 10 ............... 72.42 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212, the 

Department will determine, and 

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. The 

Department intends to instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries containing subject 

merchandise exported by the PRC-wide 

entity at the PRC-wide rate the 

Department determines in the final 

results of this review. The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of the final results of 

this 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 from the PRC 

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 PRC 

and non-PRC exporters not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (2) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-wide rate established in the 

final results of this review (i.e., 72.42 

percent); and (3) for all non-PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC exporters that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) 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 presuming that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and, subsequently, the 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

The Department is issuing and 

publishing these final results of 

administrative review in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: August 2, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
