Potassium Permanganate From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review; 2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to a request by 

Pacific Accelerator Limited (‘‘PAL’’), the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order on 

potassium permanganate from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) for 

the period of review (‘‘POR’’) January 1, 

2013, through December 31, 2013. The 

Department has preliminarily 

determined that PAL had no reviewable 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 10, 

2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

Imports covered by the order are 

shipments of potassium permanganate, 

an inorganic chemical produced in freeflowing, technical, and pharmaceutical 

grades. Potassium permanganate is 

currently classifiable under item 

2841.61.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS item number is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise remains dispositive. 

Background 

On February 28, 2014, based on a 

timely request for review by PAL 1, the 

Department initiated an administrative 

review of the antidumping order on 

potassium permanganate from the PRC.2

On March 20, 2014, the Department 

issued Section A, C, and D 

questionnaires to PAL.3 On April 24, 

May 16, and May 23, 2014, we received 

Section A, C and D questionnaire 

responses from PAL, respectively. On 

July 10, 2014, the Department issued a 

supplemental questionnaire asking PAL 

to confirm whether it had any entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR.4

On September 5, 2014, we extended the 

preliminary results to December 3, 

2014.5 On November 18, 2014, we fully

extended the preliminary results to 

February 2, 2015.6

Preliminary Determination of No 

Reviewable Entries 

PAL’s Section C response indicated 

that PAL made only one sale on the last 

day of POR, which entered the United 

States five months after the end of the 

review period. On July 17, 2014, in 

response to the Department’s Section C 

Supplemental, PAL reported having no 

entries during the POR, but stated that 

the review should proceed because it 

made a sale during the POR.7 Carus 

Corporation (‘‘Petitioner’’) submitted 

comments on July 24, 2014, in response 

to PAL’s supplemental, and stated that 

the review should be rescinded since 

there are no reviewable entries during 

the POR.8 On July, 28, 2014, PAL 

submitted comments in response to 

Petitioner’s July 24, 2014, submission.9

Petitioner submitted additional 

comments in response to PAL on July 

31, 2014.10 PAL submitted a final set of 

comments on August 6, 2014.11

On August 5, 2014, we asked U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to conduct a query on potential 

shipments of subject merchandise made 

by PAL during the POR, in accordance 

with our practice. On August 13, 2014, 

we received the requested CBP data 

query information, which confirmed 

that PAL had no entries of the subject 

merchandise during the POR.12

After reviewing PAL’s submission and 

the CBP data, which confirms that PAL 

had no entries during the POR, we 

preliminarily determine that PAL did 

not have any reviewable entries during 

the POR. The Department finds that 

consistent with its practice in nonmarket economy antidumping duty 

cases, it is appropriate not to rescind the 

review in part in this circumstance but, 

rather, to complete the review with 

respect to the above named companies 

and issue appropriate instructions to 

CBP based on the final results of the 

review.13

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’). For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.14

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached to this notice in Appendix I. 

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’’).15 ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the internet at http://

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

The Department preliminarily 

determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the 

period January 1, 2013, through 

December 31, 2013: 

Exporter 

Weighted 

average 

dumping 

margin 

Pacific Accelerator Limited ... (*) 

* No reviewable entries in this review. The 

firm does not have an individual rate or a separate rate and has never been reviewed in 

any other prior segment. Thus, the firm is considered part of the PRC-wide entity, which 

does have a rate from a prior segment of the 

proceeding. 

Public Comment and Opportunity to 

Request a Hearing 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs within 30 days after the date of 

publication of these preliminary results 

of review.16 Rebuttals to case briefs, 

which must be limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, must be filed within 

five days after the time limit for filing 

case briefs.17 Parties who submit 

arguments are requested to submit with 

the argument (a) a statement of the 

issue, (b) a brief summary of the 

argument, and (c) a table of 

authorities.18 Parties submitting briefs 

should do so pursuant to the 

Department’s electronic filing 

requirements. 

Any interested party may request a 

hearing within 30 days of publication of 

this notice.19 Hearing requests should 

contain the following information: (1) 

The party’s name, address, and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants; and (3) a list of the issues 

to be discussed. Oral presentations will 

be limited to issues raised in the briefs. 

If a request for a hearing is made, parties 

will be notified of the time and date for 

the hearing to be held at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230.20

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of all issues raised in the 

case briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.21 The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15

days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review. For any 

individually examined respondent 

whose weighted average dumping 

margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 

percent) in the final results of this 

review, the Department will calculate 

importer-specific assessment rates on 

the basis of the ratio of the total amount 

of dumping calculated for the importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of sales, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review when the importer-specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is above de 

minimis. Where either the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The Department recently announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement 

in practice, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 

by companies individually examined 

during the administrative review, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the rate for the 

PRC-wide entity. Additionally, if the 

Department determines that an exporter 

had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s case 

number (i.e., at that exporter’s cash 

deposit rate) will be liquidated at the 

rate for the PRC-wide entity.22

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 cash 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by sections 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters that received a 

separate rate in a prior completed 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all 

PRC exporters of subject merchandise 

that have not been found to be entitled 

to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 

will be that for the PRC-wide entity, 

which is 128.94 percent; 23 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 

exporter 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)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during the POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Department’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published in accordance with 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
