SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA) is responsible for the compilation 

of the U.S. international transactions 

accounts (ITAs), which it publishes 

quarterly in news releases, on its Web 

site, and in its monthly journal, the 

Survey of Current Business. These 

accounts provide a statistical summary 

of all U.S. international transactions 

and, as such, are one of the major 

statistical products of BEA. They are 

used extensively by both government 

and private organizations for national 

and international economic policy 

formulation and for analytical purposes. 

The information collected in this survey 

is used to develop the ‘‘transportation’’ 

portion of the ITAs. Potential 

respondents are U.S. agents of foreign 

ocean carriers operating in the United 

States. The information is collected on 

an annual basis from U.S. agents who 

handle 40 or more port calls by foreign 

ocean vessels and the covered expenses 

for all foreign ocean vessels handled by 

the U.S. agent were $250,000 or more. 

U.S. agents who handle fewer than 40 

port calls or where the total annual 

covered expenses for all foreign ocean 

vessels handled by the U.S. agent are 

below $250,000 are exempt from 

reporting. 

Without this information, an integral 

component of the ITAs would be 

omitted. No other government agency 

collects comprehensive annual data on 

foreign ocean carriers’ expenses in the 

United States. There are no changes 

proposed to the form or instructions. 

II. Method of Collection 

The survey forms will be sent to 

respondents each quarter via US mail; 

the surveys are also available from our 

Web site. Respondents return the 

surveys one of four ways: U.S. mail, 

electronically using BEA’s electronic 

collection system (eFile), fax or e-mail. 

Responses will be due within 50 days 

after the close of each calendar quarter.

IV. Request for Comments

Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from 

Finland; Notice of Preliminary Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to requests from 

Aqualon Company, a division of 

Hercules Inc., (the petitioner) and 

respondents CP Kelco OY and CP Kelco 

U.S., Inc. (collectively, CP Kelco), the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on purified 

carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) from 

Finland. The review covers exports of 

the subject merchandise to the United 

States produced by CP Kelco. The 

period of review (POR) is July 1, 2007, 

through June 30, 2008. 

We preliminarily find that CP Kelco 

made sales at less than normal value 

(NV) during the POR. If these 

preliminary results are adopted in our 

final results of this review, we will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping 

duties based on differences between the 

export price (EP) or constructed export 

price (CEP) and NV. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 9, 2009

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of

telephone: (202) 482–1121 or (202) 482– 

0649, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department published the 

antidumping duty order on CMC from 

Finland on 

July 11, 2005. See Notice of 

Antidumping Duty Orders: Purified 

Carboxymethylcellulose from Finland, 

Mexico, the Netherlands, and Sweden, 

70 FR 39734 (July 11, 2005). On July 11, 

2008, the Department published the 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of CMC from 

Finland for the period July 1, 2007, 

through June 30, 2008. See 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity To Request 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 39948 

(July 11, 2008). 

On July 11, 2008, CP Kelco requested 

an administrative review for July 1, 

2007, through June 30, 2008. On July 14, 

2008, the petitioner requested a review 

of CP Kelco for the same period. On 

August 26, 2008, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of this antidumping 

duty administrative review. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 73 FR 50308 (August 26, 2008). 

On October 3, 2008, the Department 

issued its standard antidumping 

questionnaire (the antidumping 

questionnaire) to CP Kelco. CP Kelco 

submitted its response to section A of 

the Department’s antidumping 

questionnaire on September 30, 2008 

(CP Kelco’s Section A Response). CP 

Kelco submitted its response to sections 

B and C of the antidumping 

questionnaire on October 20, 2008 (CP 

Kelco’s Sections B and C Response). 

Because the Department disregarded 

sales at prices below the cost of 

production in the most recently 

completed administrative review as of 

the initiation of the instant review, we 

are conducting a sales-at-below-cost 

investigation in this review. See Purified 

Carboxymethylcellulose from Finland; 

Notice of Preliminary Determination of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 72 FR 44106 (August 7, 2007) 

(unchanged in Purified 

Carboxymethylcellulose from Finland, 

Notice of Final Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 

70568 (December 12, 2007). 

Accordingly, CP Kelco submitted its 

response to section D of the 

antidumping questionnaire on October 

31, 2008 (CP Kelco’s Section D 

Response). 

On November 10, 2008, the 

Department issued a supplemental 

questionnaire to CP Kelco regarding its 

responses to sections A, B, and C of the 

antidumping questionnaire. CP Kelco 

submitted its response to the 

Department’s supplemental 

questionnaire on December 2, 2008 (CP 

Kelco’s Supplemental Sections A, B, 

and C Response). 

On January 5, 2009, the Department 

issued a supplemental questionnaire to 

CP Kelco regarding its responses to 

section D of the antidumping 

questionnaire. CP Kelco submitted its 

response to the Department’s 

supplemental questionnaire on January 

22, 2009 (CP Kelco’s Supplemental 

Section D Response). On January 27, 

2009, CP Kelco submitted data and 

electronic versions of exhibits from CP
