brightening agents (OBAs) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China), 

covering the period of review (POR)

because, as explained below, there are 

no reviewable entries for the companies 

that are subject to review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 10, 2012, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on OBAs from 

China.1 On May 2, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the Order.2 On 

May 31, 2024, Commerce received a 

timely request from a U.S. producer of 

the domestic like product, Archroma, 

U.S., Inc. (Archroma), in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), to conduct 

an administrative review of the Order 

for five companies.3 We received no 

other requests for review. 

On July 5, 2024, in accordance with 

section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of the administrative 

review with respect to the five 

companies for which Archroma 

requested a review: (1) Beijing Odyssey

Dianchang Chemicals Co. Ltd., (3) Jinan 

Subang Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., (4) 

Zhejiang Hongda Chemicals Co., Ltd., 

and (5) Zhejiang Transfar Whyyon 

Chemical Co., Ltd.4 On July 10, 2024, 

Commerce placed U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) entry data for 

U.S. imports of the subject merchandise 

during the POR on the record for 

respondent selection purposes.5 On July 

17, 2024, Archroma submitted 

comments on the CBP data.6 On, August 

2, 2024, we re-released the CBP data 

because our first CBP data release 

inadvertently did not include all of the 

possible company names 

combinations.7 On August 9, 2024, 

Archroma submitted comments on the 

re-release of the CBP data.8

On September 6, 2024, Commerce 

notified all interested parties of its 

intent to rescind the instant review in 

full because there were no reviewable, 

suspended entries of subject 

merchandise by any of the five 

companies listed in the Initiation Notice 

during the POR and invited parties to 

comment.9 No parties submitted 

comments in response to this notice. 

Scope of the Order 

The stilbenic OBAs covered by this 

Order are all forms (whether free acid or 

salt) of compounds known as 

triazinylaminostilbenes (i.e., all 

derivatives of 4,4′-bis [1,3,5- triazin-2- 

yl] 10 amino-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic 

acid), except for compounds listed in 

the following paragraph. The stilbenic 

OBAs covered by this Order include 

final stilbenic OBA products, as well as 

intermediate products that are 

themselves triazinylaminostilbenes 

produced during the synthesis of 

stilbenic OBA products. 

Excluded from this Order are all 

forms of 4,4′-bis[4-anilino-6- 

morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl] amino2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid, C40 H40 N12

O8 S2 (‘‘Fluorescent Brightener 71’’). 

This Order covers the above-described 

compounds in any state (including but 

not limited to powder, slurry, or 

solution), of any concentrations of 

active stilbenic OBA ingredient, as well 

as any compositions regardless of 

additives (i.e., mixtures or blends, 

whether of stilbenic OBAs with each 

other, or of stilbenic OBAs with 

additives that are not stilbenic OBAs), 

and in any type of packaging. 

These stilbenic OBAs are classifiable 

under subheading 3204.20.8000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’), but they may 

also enter under subheadings 

2933.69.6050, 2921.59.4000 and 

2921.59.8090. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

is dispositive. 

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is 

Commerce’s practice to rescind an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order where it 

concludes that there were no reviewable 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR.11 Normally, upon completion 

of an administrative review, the 

suspended entries are liquidated at the 

antidumping duty assessment rate for 

the review period.12 Therefore, for an 

administrative review to be conducted, 

there must be a reviewable, suspended 

entry that Commerce can instruct CBP 

to liquidate at the calculated 

antidumping duty assessment rate for 

the review period.13 As noted above, the 

CBP data results confirmed that there 

were no entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR with respect to all of the 

companies subject to this review. 

Accordingly, in the absence of 

reviewable, suspended entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR, we are 

rescinding this administrative review, in 

its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

As Commerce has proceeded to a final 

rescission of this administrative review, 

no cash deposit rates will change. 

Accordingly, the current cash deposit 

requirements shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. Because Commerce is 

rescinding this review in its entirety, the 

entries to which this administrative 

review pertained shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to 

issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 35 days after the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

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), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of the APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation, which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: September 24, 2024.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.
