Memorandum from Richard Weible, Director, Office VI, Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant
Secretary, Enforcement and Compliance, ``Issues and Decision

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised by interested parties in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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).\5\ ACCESS is available
to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum
and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are
identical in content. A list of the issue raised is attached to this
notice as Appendix I. We have analyzed all interested party comments.
Based on our analysis of the comments received, the margin in the final
results is unchanged from that presented in the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance's AD and
CVD Centralized Electronice Service System (``IA ACCESS'') to AD and
CVD Centralized Electronice Service System (``ACCESS''). The Web
site location was changed from http://iaacess.trade.gov to http://access.trade.gov. The Final Rule changing the references to the
Regulations can be found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following dumping margin exists for the
period July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted- average
Manufacturer/exporter dumping margin
(percentage)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CP Kelco Oy.......................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department 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. Because CP Kelco's weighted
average dumping margin is zero, in accordance with the Final
Modification, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.\6\ For entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by CP Kelco Oy for which it did not
know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification).
\7\ For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these
final results, consistent with section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for CP Kelco will be 0.00 percent, the weighted
average dumping margin established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, but was covered in a previous review or the original less
than fair value (LTFV) investigation, 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 LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if
neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or
any previous review conducted by the Department, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be 6.65 percent, which is the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\8\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 the Secretary'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 orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
