SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 18, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the 2021-2022 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on electrolytic manganese dioxide from the
People's Republic of China (China).\1\ We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. No parties commented on the
Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the Preliminary Results remain
unchanged in the final results of this review, and no decision
memorandum accompanies this notice.

\1\ See Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from the People's
Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR 71824 (October 18, 2023)
(Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order <SUP>2</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Antidumping Duty Order: Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide
from the People's Republic of China, 73 FR 58537 (October 7, 2008)
(Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise covered by the 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 the 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 the Order is
dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Consistent with the Preliminary Results, we continue to determine
that the sole respondent under review, DCL, did not establish its
eligibility for a separate rate and is part of the China-wide entity.
Disclosure
Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently,
there are no calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b) for these final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce has determined, 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. No
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate any
entries of subject merchandise from DCL that entered the United States
during the POR at the China-wide rate (i.e., 149.92 percent). 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of this notice in the Federal Register for all shipments of
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for any previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese or non-Chinese exporter that has a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter's
existing cash deposit rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that do not have a separate rate, including DCL, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the dumping margin assigned to the China-
wide entity, which is 149.92 percent; \3\ and (3) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that do not have a separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will be equal to the dumping margin applicable to the
Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Preliminary Results, 88 FR at 71825.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. 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 Order
This notice also serves as the only 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(a)(3). 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 subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing the final results of this review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 2, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
