SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 3, 2021, Commerce published the amended preliminary
results of this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
xanthan gum from the People's Republic of China (China).\1\ This review
covers the POR, July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018.\2\ No parties
commented on the Amended Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Xanthan Gum from the People's Republic of China: Amended
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping
Duty Order, 78 FR 43143 (July 19, 2013) (Order).
\2\ See Xanthan Gum from the People's Republic of China: Amended
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2017-2018, 86 FR 49512 (September 3, 2021) (Amended Preliminary
Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is dry xanthan gum, whether or not
coated or blended with other products, from China (xanthan gum).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
the Memorandum, ``Xanthan Gum from the People's Republic of China:
Decision Memorandum for the Amended Preliminary Results of the 2017-
2018 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review'' (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 428]]
Analysis
In the Amended Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Fufeng
was eligible for separate rate status and assigned it a dumping margin
of zero percent, which is the dumping margin that Commerce calculated
for both of the respondents individually examined in the review. As
noted above, no parties commented on the Amended Preliminary Results.
In these amended final results of review, we are making no change to
and are adopting the decisions in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Specifically, we continue to find that Fufeng is eligible for separate
rate status and that it is appropriate to assign Fufeng the zero
percent dumping margin that Commerce calculated for both of the
respondents that it individually examined in the review.
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce will determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by the
amended final results of this review. Because Fufeng's weighted average
dumping margin is zero percent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\4\ Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication of these amended final results of review
in the Federal Register.\5\ 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).

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).
\5\ See Notice of Discontinuation of Policy to Issue Liquidation
Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January
15, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The cash deposit rate for Fufeng is zero percent, which will be
effective for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. For information regarding the cash
deposit requirements established for other companies in this segment of
the proceeding, see the Final Results.\6\ This cash deposit
requirement, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final
Determination of No Shipments; 2017-2018, 84 FR 64831 (November 25,
2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (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.
Notification to Interested Parties
These amended final results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: December 29, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
