SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Case History 

On October 21, 2008, the Department 

published its preliminary determination 

that HEDP from the PRC is being, or is 

likely to be, sold in the United States at 

LTFV, as provided in the Act. See 1– 

Hydroxyethylidene–1, 1–Diphosphonic 

Acid From the People’s Republic of 

China: Preliminary Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 

Postponement of Final Determination, 

73 FR 62470 (October 21, 2008) 

(‘‘Preliminary Determination’’). For the 

Preliminary Determination, the 

Department calculated a 24.30 percent 

dumping margin for Nanjing University 

of Chemical Technology Changzhou 

Wujin Water Quality Stabilizer Factory 

Ltd. (‘‘Wujin Water’’). The Department 

assigned a 72.42 percent dumping 

margin to the PRC–wide entity 

including Changzhou Kewei Fine 

Chemical Factory (‘‘Kewei’’) and a 24.30 

percent dumping margin to separate rate 

applicants Changzhou Wujin Fine 

Chemical Factory Co., Ltd. (‘‘Wujin Fine 

Chemical’’) and Jiangsu Jianghai 

Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (‘‘Jiangsu 

Jianghai’’). On December 3, 2008, Wujin 

Water provided the Department with its 

final submission of surrogate values. In 

December 2008, Compass Chemical 

International LLC (‘‘Petitioner’’), Wujin 

Water, Wujin Fine Chemical, and 

Jiangsu Jianghai submitted case briefs 

and rebuttal briefs.1 On January 14, 

2009, the Department held a public 

hearing. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by the parties to this 

investigation are addressed in the 

‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for 

the Final Determination in the Less– 

Than-Fair–Value Investigation of 1– 

Hydroxyethylidene–1, 1–Diphosphonic 

Acid from the People’s Republic of 

China’’ (‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum’’), dated concurrently 

with this notice, which is hereby 

adopted by this notice in its entirety. A 

list of the issues which parties raised 

and to which we respond 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 (‘‘CRU’’), Main 

Commerce Building, Room 1117, and is 

accessible on the internet at http:// 

www.trade.gov/ia. The paper copy and 

electronic version of the memorandum 

are identical in content. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, we verified the information 

submitted by Wujin Water for use in our 

final determination. We used standard 

verification procedures including 

examination of relevant accounting and 

production records, and original source 

documents provided by the respondent. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of comments 

received, we have made certain 

adjustments to the margin calculations 

used in the Preliminary Determination. 

These adjustments are discussed in 

detail in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and are listed below: 

1. We recalculated the financial ratios 

using the April 2005 through March 

2006 financial statement of Rencal 

Chemicals (India) Limited (‘‘Rencal 

Chemicals’’). 

2. We recalculated the surrogate value 

for phosphorus trichloride using the 

April 2004 through March 2005 and 

April 2005 through March 2006 

financial statements of Rencal 

Chemicals. 

3. We recalculated the surrogate value 

for steam using the April 2007 through 

March 2008 financial statement of 

Hindalco Industries Ltd. 

4. We revised the transportation 

distance of chemical drums. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is 

July 1, 2007, through December 31, 

2007. This period corresponds to the 

two most recent fiscal quarters prior to 

the month of the filing of the petition, 

i.e., March 2008. See 19 CFR 

351.204(b)(1). 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation includes all grades of 

aqueous, acidic (non–neutralized) 

concentrations of 1–hydroxyethylidene– 

1, 1–diphosphonic acid2, 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 

this investigation 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 this investigation is dispositive. 

Scope Comments 

The Department received no 

comments regarding the scope of this 

investigation. 

Non–Market Economy Treatment 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

Department considered the PRC to be a 

non–market economy (‘‘NME’’) country. 

In accordance with section 771(18)(C)(i) 

of the Act, any determination that a 

country is an NME country shall remain 

in effect until revoked by the 

administering authority. See Tapered 

Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 

Finished and Unfinished, From the 

People’s Republic of China: Preliminary 

Results of 2001–2002 Administrative 

Review and Partial Rescission of 

Review, 68 FR 7500 (February 14, 2003), 

unchanged in Tapered Roller Bearings 

and Parts Thereof, Finished and 

Unfinished, from the People’s Republic 

of China: Final Results of 2001–2002 

Administrative Review and Partial 

Rescission of Review, 68 FR 70488 

(December 18, 2003). No party has 

commented on the Department’s 

classification of the PRC as an NME. 

Therefore, for the final determination, 

we continue to consider the PRC to be 

an NME. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving NME 

countries, the Department begins with a 

rebuttable presumption that all 

companies within the country are 

subject to government control and, thus, 

should be assigned a single 

antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the 

Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to an 

investigation in an NME country this 

single rate unless an exporter can 

demonstrate that it is sufficiently 

independent so as to be entitled to a 

separate rate. See Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers 

from the People’s Republic of China, 56 

FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), as amplified by 

Notice of Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide 

from the People’s Republic of China, 59 

FR 22585 (May 2, 1994), and 19 CFR 

351.107(d). 

In the Preliminary Determination, we 

found that Wujin Fine Chemical and 

Jiangsu Jianghai demonstrated eligibility 

for separate–rate status. Since the 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination, no party has commented 

on the eligibility of Wujin Fine 

Chemical and Jiangsu Jianghai for 

separate–rate status. For the final 

determination, we continue to find that 

the evidence placed on the record of 

this investigation by Wujin Fine 

Chemical and Jiangsu Jianghai 

demonstrates both de jure and de facto 

absence of government control with 

respect to each company’s respective 

exports of the merchandise under 

investigation. Thus, we continue to find 

that Wujin Fine Chemical and Jiangsu 

Jianghai are eligible for separate–rate 

status. Normally the separate rate is 

determined based on the estimated 

weighted–average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding 

zero and de minimis margins or margins 

based entirely on adverse facts available 

(‘‘AFA’’). See section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 

Act. In this case, because there are no 

rates other than de minimis or those 

based on AFA, we have determined to 

take a simple average of the AFA and 

the de minimis rate calculated for Wujin 

Water as a reasonable method for 

purposes of determining the rate 

assigned to Wujin Fine Chemical and 

Jiangsu Jianghai. See section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. We note that this 

methodology is consistent with the 

Department’s past practice. See Notice 

of Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and Postponement 

of Final Determination; Light–Walled 

Rectangular Pipe and Tube From the 

Republic of Korea, 73 FR 5794, 5800 

(January 31, 2008) (‘‘Preliminary 

Determination of Light–Walled Pipe’’), 

unchanged in Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Light– 

Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from 

the Republic of Korea, 73 FR 35655 

(June 24, 2008) (‘‘Final Determination of 

Light–Walled Pipe’’); see also 

‘‘Corroboration’’ section below. 

We determined in the Preliminary 

Determination that because Kewei 

withdrew from the investigation, thus 

preventing the Department from asking 

additional questions on its separate rate 

status and preventing the Department 

from verifying its responses, the 

Department has no basis upon which to 

grant Kewei a separate rate. We received 

no comments on this denial of a 

separate rate. Although Kewei remains a 

mandatory respondent, the Department 

will continue to consider Kewei part of 

the PRC–wide entity because it failed to 

demonstrate that it qualifies for a 

separate rate. 

The PRC–Wide Rate 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

Department found that certain 

companies did not respond to our 

requests for information. See 

Preliminary Determination, 73 FR at 

62473–74. We treated these PRC 

producers/exporters as part of the PRC– 

wide entity because they did not 

demonstrate that they operate free of 

government control over their export 

activities. Id. In addition, in the 

Preliminary Determination, the 

Department applied total AFA to Kewei. 

We determined, as AFA, that Kewei was 

not eligible for a separate rate and we 

would treat Kewei as part of the PRC– 

wide entity. Id. No additional 

information was placed on the record 

with respect to any of these companies 

after the Preliminary Determination. 

Therefore, pursuant to section 

776(a)(2)(A) of the Act, the Department 

continues to find that the use of facts 

available is appropriate to determine the 

PRC–wide rate. 

Section 776(b) of the Act provides 

that, in selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, the Department 

may employ an adverse inference if an 

interested party fails to cooperate by not 

acting to the best of its ability to comply 

with requests for information. See

Review, 72 FR 70302 (December 11,

also Statement of Administrative Action 

accompanying the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act (‘‘SAA’’), H.R. Doc. No. 

103–316, Vol. 1 (1994), at 870. We 

determine that, because the PRC–wide 

entity, including Kewei, did not 

respond to our requests for information, 

the PRC–wide entity has failed to 

cooperate to the best of its ability. See 

id. Therefore, the Department finds that, 

in selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, an adverse 

inference is appropriate for the PRC– 

wide entity. 

Because we begin with the 

presumption that all companies within 

an NME country are subject to 

government control, and because only 

Wujin Water, Wujin Fine Chemical, and 

Jiangsu Jianghai have overcome that 

presumption, we are applying a single 

antidumping rate (i.e., the PRC–wide 

entity rate) to all other exporters of 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 11, 2009 / Notices 10547 

subject merchandise from the PRC. Such 

companies did not demonstrate 

entitlement to a separate rate. See, e.g., 

Synthetic Indigo From the People’s 

Republic of China; Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value, 65 FR 25706 (May 3, 2000). 

The PRC–wide entity rate applies to all 

entries of subject merchandise except 

for entries from Wujin Water, Wujin 

Fine Chemical, and Jiangsu Jianghai. 

In the Preliminary Determination, we 

assigned to the PRC–wide entity the 

margin alleged in the petition, i.e., 72.42 

percent. See Preliminary Determination, 

73 FR at 22331. For the final 

determination, we have continued to 

assign to the PRC–wide entity the rate 

of 72.42 percent. 

Corroboration 

Section 776(c) of the Act provides 

that, when the Department relies on 

secondary information in using the facts 

otherwise available, it must, to the 

extent practicable, corroborate that 

information from independent sources 

that are reasonably at its disposal. We 

have interpreted ‘‘corroborate’’ to mean 

that we will, to the extent practicable, 

examine the reliability and relevance of 

the information submitted. See 

Preliminary Determination of TRBs, 72 

FR at 14080 (unchanged in Final Results 

of TRBs). 

Because there are no respondents 

receiving rates other than de minimis or 

those based on AFA, we relied upon our 

pre–initiation analysis of the adequacy 

and accuracy of the information in the 

petition to corroborate the 72.42 percent 

petition margin selected as AFA for the 

PRC–wide entity. This corroborated 

margin was then used in the calculation 

of the rate assigned to Wujin Fine 

Chemical and Jiangsu Jianghai pursuant 

to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. See 

‘‘Import Administration Antidumping 

Investigation Initiation Checklist: 1– 

Hydroxyethylidene–1, 1–Diphosphonic 

Acid from the People’s Republic of 

China,’’ (April 8, 2008). We note that 

this practice is consistent with the 

Department’s past practice in instances 

where the only rates on the record are 

either de minimis or based entirely 

upon AFA. See Preliminary 

Determination of Light–Walled Pipe, 73 

FR at 5797 (unchanged in Final 

Determination of Light–Walled Pipe). 

During the initiation stage, we examined 

evidence supporting the calculations in 

the petition and the supplemental 

information provided by Petitioner to 

determine the probative value of the 

margins alleged in the petition. During 

our pre–initiation analysis, we 

examined the information used as the 

basis of export price (‘‘EP’’) and normal 

value (‘‘NV’’) in the petition, and the 

calculations used to derive the alleged 

margins. Also during our pre–initiation 

analysis, we examined information from 

various independent sources provided 

either in the petition or, based on our 

requests, in supplements to the petition, 

which corroborated key elements of the 

EP and NV calculations. Id. Therefore, 

for the final determination, the 

Department finds that the rate derived 

from the petition for purposes of 

initiation has probative value for the 

purpose of being selected as the AFA 

rate assigned to the PRC–wide entity, 

including Kewei, and used in the 

calculation of the rate assigned to Wujin 

Fine Chemical and Jiangsu Jianghai 

pursuant to 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.

Disclosure 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of HEDP from 

the PRC, except those produced and 

exported by Wujin Water, as described 

in the ‘‘Scope of Investigation’’ section, 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after October 21, 

2008, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. We will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit or the posting 

of a bond equal to the weighted–average 

dumping margin amount by which the 

NV exceeds U.S. price, as follows: (1) 

The rate for the manufacturer/exporter 

combinations listed in the chart above 

will be the rate we have determined in 

this final determination; (2) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash–deposit rate will be the PRC–wide 

entity rate; 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/producer 

combination that supplied that non– 

PRC exporter. We are directing CBP not 

to suspend liquidation of imports of 

HEDP from the PRC produced and 

exported by Wujin Water, and entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after October 21, 

2008, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. CBP shall not require 

a cash deposit or the posting of a bond 

for Wujin Water because we have 

calculated a margin of zero percent for 

Wujin Water. These suspension–ofliquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we have notified the 

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) 

of our final determination of sales at 

LTFV. As our final determination is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, within 45 days the 

ITC will determine whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of the subject merchandise. 

If the ITC determines that material 

injury or threat of material injury does 

not exist, the proceeding will be 

terminated and all securities posted will 

be refunded or canceled. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

the Department, antidumping duties on 

all imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation.

Background 

On December 1, 2008, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 72764 

(December 1, 2008). On December 30, 

2008, LDR Industries (LDR) and Beijing 

Sai Lin Ke Hardware Co., Ltd. (SLK) 

(collectively, ‘‘LDR/SLK’’) requested 

that the Department conduct an 

administrative review of SLK’s exports 

to the United States for the period 

December 1, 2007, through November 

30, 2008. On December 31, 2008, 

Mueller Comercial de Me ́xico, S. De R.L. 

de C.V. (‘‘Mueller’’) and Southland Pipe 

Nipples Company, Inc. (‘‘Southland’’) 

requested that the Department conduct 

an administrative review of Mueller’s 

exports to the United States for the 

period December 1, 2007, through 

November 30, 2008. Pursuant to these 

requests, the Department published a 

notice of the initiation of the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 74 FR 5821 (February 2, 2009). 

Rescission of Review 

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

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the requests within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. On February 11, 

2009, LDR/SLK timely withdrew its 

request for a review of SLK, and no 

other interested party requested a 

review of this company. On February 

12, 2009, Mueller and Southland timely 

withdrew their request for a review of 

Mueller, and no other interested party 

requested a review of this company. 

Therefore, the Department is rescinding 

this administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC 

covering the period December 1, 2007, 

through November 30, 2008, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Antidumping duties 

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). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after the publication of this notice in the

Notification to Interested Parties 

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. Pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(3), failure to comply 

with this requirement could result in 

the Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

This notice also serves as a 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 and as explained 

in the APO itself. Timely written 

notification of the 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. 

This notice is in accordance with 

section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: March 3, 2009. 

John M. Andersen, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for

Operations.
