Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Emergency Approval; 

Comment Request; Risks in the 

Semiconductor Supply Chain 

The Department of Commerce (Bureau 

of Industry and Security) led the 100 

Day Supply Chain Review of 

Semiconductors and Advanced 

Packaging that was mandated by 

Presidential Executive Order 14017. On 

February 24, 2021, President Biden 

issued Executive Order 14017 (E.O. 

14017) on ‘‘America’s Supply Chains,’’ 

which directs several federal agency 

actions to secure and strengthen 

America’s supply chains. 

This review, included in the White 

House Report ‘‘Building Resilient 

Supply Chains, Revitalizing Domestic 

Manufacturing, and Fostering BroadBased Growth (100-day-supplychainreview-report.pdf (whitehouse.gov)’’, 

identified numerous areas of supply 

chain vulnerabilities. In addition to the 

longer-term goals such as strengthening 

the domestic semiconductor 

manufacturing ecosystem and 

promoting U.S. leadership, this report 

called upon the Department of 

Commerce to partner with industry to 

facilitate information flow between 

semiconductor producers and suppliers 

and end-users to address the current 

semiconductor shortage. The ongoing 

shortages in the semiconductor product 

supply chain is having an adverse 

impact on a wide range of industry 

sectors. With the goal of accelerating the 

information flow across various 

segments of the supply chain and 

identifying data gaps and bottlenecks in 

the supply chain, the Department is 

seeking input from interested parties 

(including domestic and foreign 

semiconductor design firms, 

semiconductor manufacturers, materials 

and equipment suppliers, as well as 

semiconductor intermediate and endusers). 

The Department invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 16, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of the 

2019–2020 administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

stilbenic optical brightening agents 

(stilbenic OBAs) from Taiwan.1 This 

administrative review covers one 

producer/exporter of the subject 

merchandise, Teh Fong Ming 

International Co., Ltd. (TFM). We 

invited parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results.2 No party 

submitted comments. Accordingly, the 

final results remain unchanged from the 

Preliminary Results. 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 3

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] 4 amino- 2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid),

6 In these final results, Commerce applied the 

assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty 

Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 

(February 14, 2012). 

7See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 

8See Order, 91 FR at 27420. 

9See 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

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] 5 amino2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid, 

C40H40N12O8S2 (‘‘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. 

Final Results of Review 

As noted above, Commerce received 

no comments concerning the 

Preliminary Results. As there are no 

changes from, or comments upon, the 

Preliminary Results, Commerce finds 

that there is no reason to modify its 

analysis and calculations. Accordingly, 

we adopt the analysis and explanation 

in our Preliminary Results for the 

purposes of these final results of review 

and we have not prepared an Issues and 

Decision Memorandum to accompany 

this Federal Register notice. The final 

weighted-average dumping margin of 

2.91 percent exists for entries of subject 

merchandise that were produced and 

exported by TFM during the POR. 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review, in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b). 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). 

For TFM, we calculated importerspecific 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 those 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).6 Where an importerspecific assessment rate is de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries 

by that importer will be liquidated 

without reference to antidumping 

duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by TFM for 

which it did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, 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.7

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice for all shipments of stilbenic 

OBAs from Taiwan entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit 

rate for TFM will be 2.91percent, the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by companies not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior segment of this 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 is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recently completed segment for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 6.19 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.8 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to the 

parties in a proceeding the calculations 

performed in connection with a final 

results of review within five days after 

public announcement of final results.9

However, because Commerce made no 

adjustments to the margin calculation 

methodology used in the Preliminary 

Results, there are no calculations to 

disclose for the final results of review. 

Notification to Importers 

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. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under the 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/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 violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: September 9, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance.
