Certain Activated Carbon From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Expedited Third Sunset 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on certain activated carbon from 

the People’s Republic of China (China) 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable September 28, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 1, 2023, Commerce initiated 

the third sunset review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

activated carbon from China, pursuant 

to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 

351.218(c)(2).1 On June 9, 2023, 

Commerce received a timely notice of 

intent to participate from Calgon Carbon 

Corporation, Norit Americas, Inc., and 

ADA Carbon Solutions LLC 

(collectively, the domestic interested 

parties) within the deadline specified in 

19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).2 The domestic 

interested parties claimed interested 

party status under section 771(9)(C) of 

the Act, as manufacturers of a domestic 

like product in the United States. 

We received a complete substantive 

response from the domestic interested 

parties within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).3

We received no responses from 

respondent interested parties. As a 

result, Commerce conducted an 

expedited sunset review of the Order, 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is certain activated carbon. For a

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this review are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. The issues discussed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

include the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and the 

magnitude of the dumping margin likely 

to prevail if the Order was to be 

revoked. A list of topics discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is 

included as an appendix to this notice. 

The Issues and Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be access 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 

determine that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

activated carbon from China would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of dumping and that the magnitude of 

the dumping margin likely to prevail 

would be weighted-average dumping 

margins up to 228.11 percent. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of

Timely 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.

results and notice in accordance with 

sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218.

International Trade Administration 

Subsidy Programs Provided by 

Countries Exporting Softwood Lumber 

and Softwood Lumber Products to the 

United States; Request for Comment 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) seeks public 

comment on any subsidies, including 

stumpage subsidies, provided by certain 

countries exporting softwood lumber or 

softwood lumber products to the United 

States during the period January 1, 

2023, through June 30, 2023. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted 

within 30 days after publication of this 

notice.

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4793. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to section 805 of title VIII of 

the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Softwood 

Lumber Act of 2008), the Secretary of 

Commerce is mandated to submit to the 

appropriate Congressional committees a 

report every 180 days on any subsidy 

provided by countries exporting 

softwood lumber or softwood lumber 

products to the United States, including 

stumpage subsidies. Commerce 

submitted its last subsidy report to the 

Congress on June 20, 2023. 

Request for Comments 

Given the large number of countries 

that export softwood lumber and 

softwood lumber products to the United 

States, we are soliciting public comment 

only on subsidies provided by countries 

which had exports accounting for at 

least one percent of total U.S. imports of 

softwood lumber by quantity, as 

classified under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

codes 4407.1100, 4407.1200, 4407.1300, 

4407.1400, and 4407.1900, during the 

period January 1, 2023, through June 30, 

2023. Official U.S. import data, 

published by the United States 

International Trade Commission’s 

DataWeb, indicate that six countries 

(Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, 

Romania, and Sweden) exported 

softwood lumber to the United States 

during that time period in amounts 

sufficient to account for at least one 

percent of U.S. imports of softwood 

lumber products. We intend to rely on 

similar six-month periods to identify the 

countries subject to future reports on 

softwood lumber subsidies. For 

example, we intend to rely on U.S. 

imports of softwood lumber and 

softwood lumber products during the 

period July 1, 2023, through December 

31, 2023, to select the countries subject 

for the next report. 

Under U.S. trade law, a subsidy exists 

where an authority: (i) provides a 

financial contribution; (ii) provides any 

form of income or price support within 

the meaning of article XVI of the GATT 

1994; or (iii) makes a payment to a 

funding mechanism to provide a 

financial contribution to a person, or 

entrusts or directs a private entity to 

make a financial contribution, if 

providing the contribution would 

normally be vested in the government 

and the practice does not differ in 

substance from practices normally 

followed by governments, and a benefit 

is thereby conferred.1

Parties should include in their 

comments: (1) the country which 

provided the subsidy; (2) the name of 

the subsidy program; (3) a brief 

description (no more than 3–4 

sentences) of the subsidy program; and 

(4) the government body or authority 

that provided the subsidy. 

Submission of Comments 

As specified above, to be assured of 

consideration, comments must be 

received no later than 30 days after the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. All comments must be 

submitted through the Federal
