Xanthan Gum From the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results of the 

Expedited Second Sunset Review of 

the Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order on xanthan gum from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping at the level 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable February 2, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 19, 2013, Commerce 

published the order on xanthan gum 

from China.1 On October 2, 2023, 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of this second sunset review 

of the Order, pursuant to section 

751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act).2

In October 2023, we received a notice 

of intent to participate, consistent with 

19 CFR 351.218(d), from CP Kelco U.S., 

Inc. (CP Kelco), a domestic interested 

party.3 CP Kelco claimed domestic 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of 

xanthan gum in the United States.4

Subsequently, on November 1, 2023, CP 

Kelco submitted a substantive response 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).5

Commerce received no responses from 

respondent interested parties with 

respect to the Order covered by this 

sunset review. Consequently, Commerce 

notified the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC),6 and conducted an 

expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 

Order.7

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order is xanthan 

gum. For a complete description of the 

scope of this Order, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.8

Analysis of Comments Received 

A complete discussion of all issues 

raised in this sunset review are 

addressed in the accompanying Issues 

and Decision Memorandum, specifically 

the likelihood of continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and the 

magnitude of the dumping margins 

likely to prevail if the Order were 

revoked.9 A list of topics discussed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum is 

included as an appendix to this notice. 

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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce 

determines that revocation of the Order 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping, and that the 

magnitude of the dumping margin likely 

to prevail would be up to 154.07 

percent.10

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the

Timely written notification of the return 

or destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective orders 

is hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This review covers 118 producers 

and/or exporters of the subject 

merchandise. Commerce selected two 

mandatory respondents for individual 

examination: Daejin Steel Company 

(Daejin) and Korea Wire Co., Ltd. 

(KOWIRE).1 The producers/exporters 

not selected for individual examination 

are listed in Appendix II. 

On July 31, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results and 

invited interested parties to comment.2

For a complete description of the events 

that occurred since the Preliminary 

Results, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 4

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is steel nails. For a complete description 

of the scope of the Order, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are listed in Appendix I 

to this notice and addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on the comments received from 

interested parties, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculation for 

Daejin in the Preliminary Results. 

However, these calculation changes did 

not affect the final weighted-average 

margin assigned to Daejin. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Determination of No Shipments 

As noted in the Preliminary Results, 

we received no shipment claims from 

Astrotech Steels Private Limited 

(Astrotech) and Geekay Wires Limited 

(Geekay) and preliminarily determined 

that they had no shipments during the 

POR.5 We received no comments from 

interested parties with respect to this 

preliminary determination of no 

shipments. Therefore, we continue to 

find that Astrotech and Geekay had no 

shipments during the POR. 

Final Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

determine the following estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the period February 1, 2021, through 

January 31, 2022: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Daejin Steel Company .......... 0.66 

Korea Wire Co., Ltd .............. 0.00 

Companies Not Selected for 

Individual Review 6 ............ 0.66 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for Daejin in 

connection with these final results to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce 

has determined, and U.S. 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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

because Daejin and KOWIRE reported 

the entered value for all of their U.S. 

sales, we calculated importer-specific 

ad valorem antidumping duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales to the 

total entered value of the sales for which 

entered value was reported. Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

rate is zero or de minimis, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties. 

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Daejin or KOWIRE for which the 

reviewed companies did not know that 

the merchandise they sold to the 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, 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.7

For the companies that were not 

selected for individual review, we 

assigned an assessment rate based on 

the review-specific average rate, 

calculated as noted in the ‘‘Final Results 

of the Review’’ section, above. Further, 

because we continue to find that 

Astrotech and Geekay had no shipments 

of subject merchandise during the POR, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate any 

suspended entries that entered under 

these companies’ antidumping duty 

case numbers at the all-others rate. The 

final results of this review shall be the 

basis for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

covered by the final results of this 

review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.8

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the

9See Order, 80 FR at 39996. 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rates for the reviewed 

companies will be the rates shown 

above, except if the rate is less than 0.50 

percent (de minimis within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)), the cash 

deposit will be zero; (2) for previously 

reviewed or investigated companies not 

listed above, 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 previous review, or the 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recent period 

for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all-other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 11.80 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.9 These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 Order 

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), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).

administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by Commerce 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review. We intend to release 

the CBP data under administrative 

protective order (APO) to all parties 

having an APO within five days of 

publication of the initiation notice and 

to make our decision regarding 

respondent selection within 35 days of 

publication of the initiation Federal 

Register notice. Therefore, we 

encourage all parties interested in 

commenting on respondent selection to 

submit their APO applications on the 

date of publication of the initiation 

notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

Commerce invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within five days of placement of the 

CBP data on the record of the review. 

In the event Commerce decides it is 

necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, Commerce finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will 

not conduct collapsing analyses at the 

respondent selection phase of a review 

and will not collapse companies at the 

respondent selection phase unless there 

has been a determination to collapse 

certain companies in a previous 

segment of this antidumping proceeding 

(i.e., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review, or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to a review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. Parties are requested to: (a) 

identify which companies subject to 

review previously were collapsed; and 

(b) provide a citation to the proceeding 

in which they were collapsed. Further, 

if companies are requested to complete 

a Quantity and Value Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of a proceeding 

where Commerce considered collapsing 

that entity, complete quantity and value 

data for that collapsed entity must be 

submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may 

extend this time if it is reasonable to do 

so. Determinations by Commerce to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

Deadline for Particular Market 

Situation Allegation 

Section 504 of the Trade Preferences 

Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act 

by adding the concept of particular 

market situation (PMS) for purposes of 

constructed value under section 773(e) 

of the Act.1 Section 773(e) of the Act 

states that ‘‘if a particular market 

situation exists such that the cost of 

materials and fabrication or other
