SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

stilbenic optical brightening agents 

(OBAs) from Taiwan. The period of 

review (POR) is May 1, 2016, through 

April 30, 2017. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the 

Order 1 is OBAs and is currently 

classifiable under subheadings 

3204.20.8000, 2933.69.6050, 

2921.59.4000 and 2921.59.8090 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). While the 

HTSUS numbers are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written product description remains 

dispositive. A full description of the 

scope of the Order is contained in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.2

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). Constructed export price is 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. The Preliminary 

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 http://

access.trade.gov and to all parties in the 

Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of 

the main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an Appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for TFM for the period 

May 1, 2016, through April 30, 2017.

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days after public 

announcement of the preliminary 

results.3

Public Comment 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii), 

interested parties may submit cases 

briefs not later than 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed not later 

than five days after the date for filing 

case briefs.4 Parties who submit case 

briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) A statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of authorities.5

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance. All 

documents must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS which is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. An electronically filed 

request must be received successfully in 

its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time, within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.6

Requests should contain: (1) The party’s 

name, address and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case 

briefs. 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. If TFM’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is above de minimis in 

the final results of this review, we will 

calculate importer-specific assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of the 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).7 If TFM’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis in the final results of review,

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 

31292, 31297 (July 6, 2017) (Initiation Notice). 

2 In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated 

Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 

and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. as a single 

entity. See, e.g., Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe 

and Tube Products from Turkey: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 

Final Determination of No Shipments; 2013–2014, 

80 FR 76674, 76674 n.2 (December 10, 2015) 

(Welded Pipe and Tube from Turkey 2013–2014). 

We preliminarily determine that there is no 

evidence on the record for altering our treatment of 

Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 

and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S., as a single 

entity. The record does not support treating the 

following companies as part of the Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S./Borusan 

Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. entity: (1) Borusan Birlesik; 

(2) Borusan Gemlik; (3) Borusan Ihracat; (4) Borusan 

Ithicat; and (5) Tubeco. Accordingly, as discussed 

infra, each of these five companies will be assigned 

the rate applicable to companies not selected for 

individual examination in this review. 

3 In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated 

Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., Tosyali Dis 

Ticaret A.S., and Toscelik Metal as a single entity. 

See, e.g., Welded Pipe and Tube from Turkey 2013– 

2014. We preliminarily determine that there is no 

evidence on the record for altering our treatment of 

Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., Tosyali Dis 

Ticaret A.S., and Toscelik Metal as a single entity. 

we will instruct CBP not to assess duties 

on any of its entries in accordance with 

the Final Modification for Reviews.8

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by TFM for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

We intend to issue instructions 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 notice of final results 

of administrative review for all 

shipments of OBAs from Taiwan 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for TFM will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the 

original investigation but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recent period 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 6.19 percent.9 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Dated: June 4, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations, 

performing the non-exclusive functions and 

duties of the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance.
