The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is furfuryl alcohol
(C4H3OCH2OH). Furfuryl alcohol is a
primary alcohol, and is colorless or pale yellow in appearance. It is
used in the manufacture of resins and as a wetting agent and solvent
for coating resins, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and other
soluble dyes. The product subject to this order is classifiable under
subheading 2932.13.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope
is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we determine that the following dumping
margin on furfuryl alcohol from the PRC exists for Qingdao WenKem Co.,
Ltd., determined to be a part of the PRC-wide entity,\5\ for the period
June 1, 2014, through May 31, 2015:

Assessment Rates
We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 45.27 percent to all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or exported
by Qingdao WenKem Co., Ltd. The Department intends 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shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from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, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit
rate for Qingdao WenKem Co., Ltd., as part of the PRC-wide entity, will
be the PRC-wide rate of 45.27 percent; (2) for previously investigated
or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters who are not under review in this
segment of the proceeding but who have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 45.27 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the PRC exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 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)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement off antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this 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 double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
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(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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: May 31, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
