Disclosure 

As noted above, Commerce received 

no comments on its Preliminary Results. 

As a result, we have not modified our 

analysis, and will not issue a decision 

memorandum to accompany this 

Federal Register notice. Further, 

because we have not changed our 

calculations since the Preliminary 

Results, there are no new calculations to 

disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b) for these final results. We are 

adopting the Preliminary Results as the 

final results. 

Assessment Rates 

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

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

Commerce will determine, 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. We will 

calculate importer-specific assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of the importer’s sales in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

Where the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is either zero 

or de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by companies 

included in these final results of review 

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 allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.4

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 

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 for estimated antidumping 

duties 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 rate for the companies 

listed above will be equal to each 

company’s weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review (except if that 

rate is de minimis, in which situation 

the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) 

for merchandise exported by a producer 

or exporter not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior completed 

segment of the proceeding, 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 prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer has been covered in a prior 

complete segment of this proceeding, 

the cash deposit rate will be the 

company-specific rate established for 

the most recent period for the producer 

of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 11.25 percent,5 the 

all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also 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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

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(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

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).

pencils during the POR. We also 

continue to find that Tianjin Tonghe

and Ningbo Homey Union Co., Ltd. 

(Ningbo Homey) are not eligible for a 

separate rate and should be treated as 

part of the China-wide entity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 15, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results in the 

Federal Register.1 We invited interested 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Results; however, no interested parties 

submitted comments. Accordingly, we 

made no changes to the Preliminary 

Results. 

Scope of the Order 2

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is certain cased pencils of any 

shape or dimension (except as described 

below) which are writing and/or 

drawing instruments that feature cores 

of graphite or other materials, encased 

in wood and/or man-made materials, 

whether or not decorated and whether 

or not tipped (e.g., with erasers, etc.) in 

any fashion, and either sharpened or 

unsharpened. The pencils subject to the 

Order are currently classifiable under 

subheading 9609.10.00 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Specifically 

excluded from the scope of the Order 

are mechanical pencils, cosmetic 

pencils, pens, non-cased crayons (wax), 

pastels, charcoals, chalks, and pencils 

produced under U.S. patent number 

6,217,242, from paper infused with 

scents by the means covered in the 

above-referenced patent, thereby having 

odors distinct from those that may 

emanate from pencils lacking the scent 

infusion. Also excluded from the scope 

of the Order are pencils with all of the 

following physical characteristics: (1) 

Length: 13.5 or more inches; (2) sheath 

diameter: Not less than one-and-one 

quarter inches at any point (before 

sharpening); and (3) core length: Not 

more than 15 percent of the length of 

the pencil. 

In addition, pencils with all of the 

following physical characteristics are 

excluded from the scope of the Order: 

Novelty jumbo pencils that are 

octagonal in shape, approximately ten 

inches long, one inch in diameter before 

sharpening, and three-and-one eighth 

inches in circumference, composed of 

turned wood encasing one-and-one half 

inches of sharpened lead on one end 

and a rubber eraser on the other end. 

Although the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the Order is dispositive. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that Wah Yuen 3 had no 

shipments of cased pencils during the 

POR, based on our analysis of U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

entry documentation and Wah Yuen’s 

questionnaire responses.4 We received 

no comments on our preliminary 

finding. As there is no information on 

the record that calls into question this 

preliminary finding, we continue to find 

in the final results of this review that 

Wah Yuen had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. 

China-Wide Entity 

With the exception of Wah Yuen, we 

find all other companies for which a 

review was requested to be part of the 

China-wide entity, because they failed 

to file no-shipment statements, separate 

rate applications, or separate rate 

certifications. Accordingly, Tianjin 

Tonghe and Ningbo Homey are part of 

the China-wide entity. Because no party 

requested a review of the China-wide 

entity, and Commerce no longer 

considers the China-wide entity as an 

exporter, conditionally subject to 

administrative reviews, we did not 

conduct a review of the China-wide 

entity.5 The rate previously established 

for the China-wide entity is 114.90 

percent and is not subject to change as 

a result of this review.6

Assessment Rates 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended, (the Act) and 19 CFR 

351.212(b). Because we determined that 

Tianjin Tonghe and Ningbo Homey are 

not eligible for a separate rate and are 

part of the China-wide entity, we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of 114.90 percent (i.e., 

the China-wide entity rate) to all entries 

of subject merchandise during the POR 

that were exported by these companies. 

In addition, as Commerce continues to 

find that Wah Yuen did not have any 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR, we will instruct CBP to 

assess any suspended entries of subject 

merchandise associated with Wah Yuen 

at the China-wide rate. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these final results of 

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 

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

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter that supplied that non-Chinese 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

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 POR. 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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective orders (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 APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 23, 2021, Commerce 

published its preliminary rescission of 

this administrative review in the 

Federal Register and invited parties to 

comment thereon.1 For a discussion of 

events subsequent to the Preliminary 

Recission, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2 On June 21, 2021, 

Commerce extended the deadline for 

issuing the final results of this review 

until July 14, 2021.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

includes all manganese dioxide (MnO2) 

that has been manufactured in an 

electrolysis process, whether in powder, 

chip, or plate form. Excluded from the 

scope are natural manganese dioxide 

(NMD) and chemical manganese dioxide 

(CMD). The merchandise subject to the 

order is classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) at subheading 2820.10.00.00. 

While the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Analysis of the Comments Received 

We addressed the issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs that were 

submitted in this review in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the sections in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is in the 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 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/index.html. 

Rescission of Administrative Review 

As discussed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, Duracell 

(China) Limited (DCL), the sole 

company under review reported that 

neither it, nor its U.S. affiliates, sold 

subject merchandise or further 

manufactured subject merchandise (i.e., 

batteries containing subject 

merchandise) to unaffiliated U.S. 

customers during the POR. Moreover, 

Commerce determined that DCL did not 

adequately demonstrate that it could 

trace the POR entry of subject 

merchandise, which was used to 

manufacture batteries in the United 

States, to particular batteries that were 

sold to unaffiliated U.S. customers after 

the end of the POR. Therefore, we have 

determined that there are no reviewable 

sales with which to calculate a dumping 

margin and we have rescinded this 

review.4

Assessment 

We intend to instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

POR entries of subject merchandise 

from DCL at the rate applicable at the 

time of entry into the United States,
