Certain Activated Carbon from the 

People’s Republic of China: Notice of 

Rescission of Changed Circumstances 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 24, 2009. 

SUMMARY: On April 30, 2009, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of changed circumstance 

review (‘‘CCR’’) of the antidumping duty 

order on certain activated carbon from 

the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). 

See Certain Activated Carbon From the 

People’s Republic of China: Notice of 

Initiation of Changed Circumstances 

Review, 74 FR 19934 (April 30, 2009) 

(‘‘Initiation’’). The Department is now 

rescinding this CCR because Hebei 

Foreign Trade and Advertising 

Corporation (‘‘Hebei Foreign’’) because 

the factual information upon which the 

Department relied in the initiation of 

this change circumstances review was 

later found to be false, and we find there 

was not a change in circumstances to 

warrant this review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 24, 2009, the Department 

received a request from Hebei Foreign1

for an expedited CCR to find that Hebei 

Foreign has been succeeded by Hebei 

Shenglun, and therefore Hebei Shenglun 

should receive the separate rate 

assigned to Hebei Foreign in the case of 

certain activated carbon from the PRC.2

On March 4, 2009, the Department 

received comments from Petitioners in 

opposition to the CCR, stating that 

Hebei Foreign’s February 24, 2009, 

request for a CCR is nearly identical to 

the November 7, 2008, request, which 

the Department denied.3

On April 30, 2009, the Department 

published a notice of initiation of CCR 

of the antidumping duty order on 

certain activated carbon from the 

People’s Republic of China. See 

Initiation. However, the Department 

found that Hebei Foreign did not 

provide complete supporting 

documentation or conclusive evidence 

that would allow the Department to 

expedite the CCR by combining the 

preliminary results of review with the 

notice of initiation as provided for in 19 

CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). See Initiation. 

On June 12, 2009, the Department 

issued a supplemental questionnaire to 

Hebei Foreign, and on July 6, 2009, 

Hebei Foreign submitted its response.4

On July 9, 2009, the Department 

received comments from Petitioner5

concerning Hebei Foreign’s 

supplemental questionnaire response. 

Petitioners argue that Hebei Foreign’s 

supplemental response demonstrates 

that there is no basis for continuing with 

a changed circumstances proceeding, 

and additionally that the Department 

should revoke Hebei Foreign’s separate 

rate based on Hebei Foreign’s alleged 

intentional misrepresentation of its 

operations and management.6

Petitioners specifically reference 

statements submitted by Hebei Foreign 

that reveal that the managers listed in 

Hebei Foreign’s response are not
