Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 30, 2014 / Notices 78395 

1The Regulations are currently codified in the 

Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730– 

774 (2014). The underlying criminal conduct 

occurred in April 1988, for which FMI was tried 

criminally in 1995, and for which ultimately a 

judgment of conviction issued against FMI 

following its sentencing on November 18, 2005. See 

March 12, 2007 Order; U.S. v. Lachman, 521 F.3d 

12 (1st Cir. 2008). Since August 21, 2001, the Act 

(50 U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–2420 (2000)) has been in 

lapse and the President, through Executive Order 

13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 

(2002)), which has been extended by successive 

Presidential Notices, the most recent being that of 

August 7, 2014 (79 FR 46959 (Aug. 11, 2014)), has 

continued the Regulations in effect under the 

International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 

U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010).

Fiber Materials, Inc., 5 Morin Street, 

Biddeford, ME 04005, Respondent; 

Order Waiving Remainder of Denial 

Order Period 

On March 12, 2007, BIS issued an 

order denying the export privileges of 

Fiber Materials, Inc. (‘‘FMI’’), of 

Biddeford, Maine, until November 18, 

2015, pursuant to Section 11(h) of the 

Export Administration Act of 1979, as 

amended (‘‘Act’’), and Section 766.25 of 

the Export Administration Regulations 

(‘‘Regulations’’), based on FMI’s 

criminal conviction for violating the Act 

by knowingly exporting and causing to 

be exported from the United States to 

India a component, accessory and 

controls for a hot isostatic press without 

having obtained the required export 

license from BIS.1 The March 12, 2007 

Order provided a standard denial of 

export privileges that prohibited FMI 

from participating in any way in any 

transaction involving the export from 

the United States of any item subject to 

the Regulations or in any other activity 

subject to the Regulations. 

Subsequent to the issuance of the 

March 12, 2007 Order, ownership and 

management control of FMI changed. 

Ultimately, by letter dated February 10, 

2014, GrafTech International Ltd. 

(‘‘GrafTech’’) submitted a request on 

behalf of FMI, GrafTech’s wholly-owned 

subsidiary, seeking to terminate the 

denial order. The request seeks relief on 

various grounds, including due to a 

strong compliance program that has 

been put into place and updated by 

FMI/GrafTech. BIS has reviewed the 

compliance program, including through 

an Office of Export Enforcement site 

visit at FMI. Upon consideration of the 

compliance program and the totality of 

the circumstances found here, 

It is therefore ordered: 

1. That the remainder of the denial 

order period imposed on Fiber 

Materials, Inc., 5 Morin Street, 

Biddeford, ME 04005, its successors or 

assigns, and, when acting for or on 

behalf of FMI, its officers, 

representatives, agents or employees, 

under the March 12, 2007 Order is 

hereby waived upon the effective date of 

this Order; and 

2. That this Order shall be effective 

upon publication in the Federal 

Register. 

Issued this 19th day of December, 2014.

Director, Office of Exporter Services.

Purified Carboxymethylcellulose From 

the Netherlands: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2012–2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On August 21, 2014, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty (AD) order on 

purified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 

from the Netherlands.1 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. We received no 

comments or requests for a hearing. 

Therefore, for the final results, we 

continue to find that sales of subject 

merchandise by Akzo Nobel Functional 

Chemicals, B.V. (Akzo Nobel) were not 

made at less than normal value during 

the period of review (POR). 

DATES: Effective Date: December 30, 

2014.

respectively. 

Background 

On August 21, 2014, the Department 

published the Preliminary Results. The 

POR is July 1, 2012 through June 30, 

2013. We invited interested parties to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. 

We received no comments or requests 

for a hearing. The Department 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

all purified CMC, sometimes also 

referred to as purified sodium CMC, 

polyanionic cellulose, or cellulose gum, 

which is a white to off-white, non-toxic, 

odorless, biodegradable powder, 

comprising sodium CMC that has been 

refined and purified to a minimum 

assay of 90 percent. Purified CMC does 

not include unpurified or crude CMC, 

CMC Fluidized Polymer Suspensions, 

and CMC that is cross-linked through 

heat treatment. Purified CMC is CMC 

that has undergone one or more 

purification operations, which, at a 

minimum, reduce the remaining salt 

and other by-product portion of the 

product to less than ten percent. 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States at subheading 3912.31.00. 

This tariff classification is provided for 

convenience and Customs purposes; 

however, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Final Results of Review 

As noted above, the Department 

received no comments concerning the 

Preliminary Results on the record of this 

segment of the proceeding. As there are 

no changes from, or comments upon, 

the Preliminary Results, the Department 

finds that there is no reason to modify 

its analysis. Thus, we continue to find 

that sales of subject merchandise by 

Akzo Nobel were not made at less than 

normal value during the POR. 

Accordingly, no decision memorandum 

accompanies this Federal Register 

notice. For further details of the issues 

addressed in this proceeding, see the 

Preliminary Results and the 

accompanying Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.2 The final weightedaverage dumping margin for the period 

July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013 for 

Akzo Nobel is as follows:
