SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 3, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on xanthan gum from the People's Republic of
China (China).\1\ Between July 27 and 31, 2023, Commerce received
requests to conduct administrative reviews.\2\ Commerce published the
Initiation Notice of this administrative review on September 11, 2023,
where we initiated a review for 34.\3\ On March 1, 2024, Commerce
extended the deadline for these preliminary results to July 30,
2024.\4\ On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this
administrative proceeding by seven days.\5\ The deadline for these
preliminary results is now August 6, 2024.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order includes dry xanthan gum, whether
or not coated or blended with other products. For a full description of
the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Between September and October 2023, Meihua Group International
Trading (Hong Kong) Limited/Langfang Meihua Biotechnology Co., Ltd./
Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd. (collectively, Meihua), Shanghai
Smart, and Deosen Biochemical Ltd. filed timely certifications that
they had no exports, shipments, sales, or entries of subject
merchandise to the United States during the POR.\7\ Based on
information obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and
on Deosen Biochemical Ltd.'s, Meihua's, and Shanghai Smart's no-
shipment certifications, Commerce preliminarily determines that Deosen
Biochemical Ltd. and Shanghai Smart had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Deosen Biochemical Ltd.'s Letter, ``No Shipment
Certification of Deosen Biochemical Ltd.,'' dated October 11, 2023;
see also Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co. Ltd.'s Letter, ``No Shipment
Certification,'' dated September 25, 2023; and Meihua's Letter, ``No
Shipment Certification,'' dated September 21, 2023.
\8\ See Memoranda, ``Xanthan Gum from the People's Republic of
China; No Shipment Inquiry for Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co., Ltd.
during the period 07/01/2022 through 06/30/2023,'' dated July 22,

Inquiry for Langfang Meihua Bio-Technology Co., Ltd.; Xinjiang

(Ordos) Ltd.; Deosen Biochemical Ltd. during the period 07/01/2022
through 06/30/2023,'' dated July 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with Commerce's practice in non-market economy (NME)
cases, we are not rescinding this administrative review with respect to
Deosen Biochemical Ltd. and Shanghai Smart but intend to complete the
review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final
results of the review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011); and the
``Assessment Rates'' section, infra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties that
requested a review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review in
the Federal Register. Between August and September 2023, the petitioner
timely withdrew its request for an administrative review of the
following companies: Henan Sinowin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Henan
Sinowin); Meihua; Qingdao Yalai Chemical Co., Ltd. (Qingdao Yalai);
Foodchem Biotech Co., Ltd.; and Shanghai Cy-Everlasting Imp. & Exp.
Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Cy-Everlasting).\10\ On September 21, 2023, Meihua
withdrew its request for an
[[Page 68138]]
administrative review of itself.\11\ Because no other party requested a
review of these companies, consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce is rescinding this review, in part, with respect to Henan
Sinowin, Meihua, Qingdao Yalai, Foodchem Biotech Co. Ltd. and Shanghai
Cy-Everlasting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Petitioner's Letters, ``Withdrawal of Request for
Review,'' dated August 17, 2023; ``Petitioner's Withdrawal of
Certain Requests for Administrative Review,'' dated September 19,
2023; and ``Petitioner's Withdrawal of Certain Requests for
Administrative Review,'' dated September 22, 2023.
\11\ See Meihua's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated September 21, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We
calculated constructed export price in accordance with section 772 of
the Act. Because China is an NME country within the meaning of section
771(18) of the Act, we calculated normal value in accordance with
section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology
underlying these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Separate Rates
Commerce preliminarily determines that two non-individually
examined companies are eligible for separate rates in this
administrative review.\12\ The Act and Commerce's regulations do not
address the establishment of a separate rate to be applied to companies
not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)
of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act,
which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for separate-rate
respondents which Commerce did not examine individually in an
administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the
all-others rate should be calculated by averaging the weighted-average
dumping margins calculated for individually-examined respondents,
excluding dumping margins that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely
on facts available. In this review, Commerce preliminarily found a zero
rate for Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia
Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.)/Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co.,
Ltd./Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. Therefore, the only rate
that is not zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts otherwise
available is the rate calculated for Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd.
Consequently, the rate calculated for Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd.
is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and exporters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at the ``Separate Rate
Determination'' section for more details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
Under Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the
China-wide entity,\13\ the China-wide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a
review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-
wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review, and the
entity's rate (i.e., 154.07 percent) is not subject to change.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\14\ See Order, 78 FR at 43144.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from Deosen Biochemical Ltd. and Shanghai Smart, for which we
preliminarily find no shipments, and Henan Sinowin, Meihua, Qingdao
Yalai, and Foodchem Biotech Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Cy-Everlasting, for
which this review is being rescinded, Commerce considers all other
companies for which a review was requested and did not demonstrate
separate rate eligibility to be part of the China-wide entity.\15\ For
these preliminary results, we consider the companies listed in Appendix
II to be part of the China-wide entity because they did not file
separate rate applications or certifications. For additional
information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Initiation Notice, 87 FR at 54464 (``All firms listed
below that wish to qualify for separate rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate rate application or certification, as
described below.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the POR July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations performed to
interested parties for these preliminary results within five days of
any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within
five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).
Verification
As provided in section 782(i)(3) of the Act, because Commerce has
received a timely request to conduct verification by an interested
party and has not made a verification in the two immediately preceding
reviews, Commerce intends to verify certain information reported by
Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. and Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies
Co., Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.)/
Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies
Co., Ltd.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Verification Request,'' dated
December 20, 2023; see also Xanthan Gum From the People's Republic
of China: Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2015-2016, 83 FR
6513 (February 14, 2018), and accompanying IDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Comment: Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested
parties may submit case briefs to Commerce no later than seven days
after the date on which the last verification report is issued in this
review. Rebuttal briefs, limited to
[[Page 68139]]
issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days
after the date for filing case briefs.\17\ Interested parties who
submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit:
(1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of
authorities.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
\18\ See 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public,
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\19\ Further,
we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary
of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final results in this administrative review. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce
has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of
documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\20\ See APO and Service Final Rule, 88 FR at 67079; see also 19
CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case briefs. An electronically filed
hearing request must be received successfully in its entirety by
Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time
within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of its analysis of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results of review in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of review, Commerce will
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.\21\ Commerce intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 35 days after the
publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register. 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will calculate importer/customer-specific assessment rates equal
to the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for examined
sales to a particular importer/customer to the total entered value of
those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\22\ Where the
respondent reported reliable entered values, Commerce intends to
calculate importer/customer-specific ad valorem assessment rates by
dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for all reviewed U.S.
sales to the importer/customer by the total entered value of the
merchandise sold to the importer/customer.\23\ Where the respondent did
not report entered values, Commerce will calculate importer/customer-
specific assessment rates by dividing the total amount of dumping
calculated for all reviewed U.S. sales to the importer/customer by the
total quantity of those sales. Commerce will calculate an estimated ad
valorem importer/customer-specific assessment rate to determine whether
the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis; however, Commerce will use
the per-unit assessment rate where entered values were not
reported.\24\ Where an importer/customer-specific ad valorem assessment
rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect
the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. Where either the
respondent's ad valorem weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer/customer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is
zero or de minimis,\25\ Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ We applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted
in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average
Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
\23\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\24\ Id.
\25\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For respondents not individually examined in this administrative
review that qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin assigned to the respondent
in the final results of this review.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's Republic
of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments: 2014-2015, 81
FR 29528 (May 12, 2016), and accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum at 10-11, unchanged in Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from
the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; Final Determination of No Shipments; 2014-
2015, 81 FR 54042 (August 15, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Commerce's refinement to its practice, for sales that
were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by a respondent
individually examined during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate the entry of such merchandise at the dumping margin assigned
to the China-wide entity (i.e., 154.07 percent).\27\ Additionally,
where Commerce determines that an exporter under review had no
shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR,
any suspended entries of subject merchandise that entered under that
exporter's CBP case number during the POR will be liquidated at the
dumping margin assigned to the China-wide entity (i.e., 154.07
percent).\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

\28\ See Order, 78 FR at 43144.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated antidumping
duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of xanthan gum from China entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
notice of the final results of this administrative review in the
Federal Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) for companies granted a separate rate in the final results of this
review, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
[[Page 68140]]
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this review for the company (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
then a cash deposit rate of zero will be required); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-
specific rate; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate for the China-wide entity, which is 154.07
percent; \29\ and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject
merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to China exporter(s) that supplied
that non-China exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\29\ See Order, 78 FR at 43144.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4) and 351.221(b)(4).
