SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The International Trade 

Administration’s U.S. Commercial 

Service is mandated by Congress to help 

U.S. businesses, particularly small- and 

medium-sized companies, export their 

products and services to global markets. 

As part of its mission, the U.S. 

Commercial Service (CS) currently uses 

customer satisfaction surveys to collect 

feedback from U.S. business clients that 

pay for services performed by CS. These 

surveys ask the client to evaluate CS on 

its customer service provision. The 

results from the surveys are used to 

make improvements to the agency’s 

business processes in order to provide 

better and more effective export 

assistance to U.S. companies. In 

addition to soliciting client feedback 

after a service is delivered, the CS 

would like to add a tagline with a link 

to a Comment Card at the bottom of all 

employees’ e-mail messages to enable 

clients to submit feedback anytime they 

see fit. The actual tagline would 

encourage recipients of the e-mail to 

click the Comment Card link and 

provide feedback on service quality. 

Samples of taglines could be similar to: 

(1) ‘‘Please tell me about the quality 

of service that I have provided to you;’’ 

or 

(2) ‘‘Please let me know how well I 

have served you.’’ 

A link to a Comment Card would 

immediately follow the tagline. The 

purpose of the attached card is to collect 

feedback from U.S. businesses that 

interact with CS employees. This 

information will be used for quality 

assurance purposes. Survey responses 

will be used to assess client satisfaction, 

identify client issues, record client 

results and recognize exemplary service 

providers. 

II. Method of Collection 

Comment Card link embedded in 

employees’ e-mail taglines; clients will 

fill out and submit the Comment Cards 

electronically.

SUMMARY: Based on an affirmative final 

determination by the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

the Department is issuing an 

antidumping duty order on electrolytic 

manganese dioxide (EMD) from the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC).

DC 20230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 18, 2008, the Department 

published the final determination of 

sales at less than fair value of EMD from 

the PRC. See Electrolytic Manganese 

Dioxide From the People’s Republic of 

China: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value, 73 FR 48195 

(August 18, 2008) (‘‘Final 

Determination’’). 

On August 18, 2008, Guizhou Redstar 

Developing Import & Export Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Redstar’’) submitted ministerial error 

allegations with respect to the 

Department’s Final Determination. On 

August 25, 2008, Tronox LLC, 

Petitioner, submitted a reply to 

Redstar’s ministerial error allegations, 

arguing that the Department should 

reject each of Redstar’s claims. On 

October 1, 2008, the Department 

determined that Redstar’s ministerial 

error allegations do not meet the 

requirements under 19 CFR 351.224(f) 

to be considered ministerial errors. See 

Memorandum entitled ‘‘Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Investigation of 

Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from 

the People’s Republic of China: 

Allegations of Ministerial Errors,’’ dated 

October 1, 2008. 

On September 26, 2008, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination pursuant to section 

735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

less-than-fair-value imports of EMD 

from the PRC. See Letter from the ITC 

to the Secretary of Commerce, 

‘‘Notification of Final Affirmative 

Determination of Electrolytic 

Manganese Dioxide from Australia and 

from the People’s Republic of China,’’ 

Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1124 and 

1125 (September 26, 2008). Pursuant to 

section 736(a) of the Act, the 

Department is publishing an 

antidumping duty order on the subject 

merchandise. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

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 this 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 this order is 

dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order 

In accordance with section 736(a)(1) 

of the Act, the Department will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to assess, upon further 

information from the Department, 

antidumping duties equal to the amount 

by which the normal value of the 

merchandise exceeds the export price 

(or the constructed export price) of the 

merchandise for all relevant entries of 

EMD from the PRC. These antidumping 

duties will be assessed on all entries of 

EMD entered, or withdrawn from the 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

March 26, 2008, the date on which the 

Department published its notice of 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register. See Electrolytic 

Manganese Dioxide from the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Postponement of Final 

Determination, 73 FR 15988 (March 26, 

2008). 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of the exporters 

that account for a significant proportion 

of EMD in the PRC, we extended the 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. See Letter from Guizhou 

Redstar Developing Import and Export 

Company, Ltd. (March 11, 2008). In the 

underlying investigation, the six-month 

period beginning on the date of the 

publication of the preliminary 

determination ended on September 22, 

2008. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the 

Act states that definitive duties are to 

begin on the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act and our practice, we 

will instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of EMD from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after September 22, 

2008, through the day preceding the 

date of publication of the ITC’s final 

injury determination in the Federal 

Register. 

On and after the date of publication 

of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

CBP will require, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated duties on this merchandise, 

cash deposits for the subject 

merchandise equal to the estimated 

weighted-average antidumping margins 

listed below.
