Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative 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). The 

final results of this administrative 

review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise under review 

and for future cash deposits of estimated 

antidumping duties, where applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of these final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of glycine from India entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit 

rate for companies subject to this review 

will be equal to the company-specific 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of the 

review; (2) for merchandise exported by 

a company not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published in the completed segment for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

investigation but the producer is, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established in the completed segment 

for the most recent period for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 7.23 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the investigation of sales at less than 

fair value, adjusted for the exportsubsidy rate in the companion 

countervailing duty investigation.9

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

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 and/or countervailing 

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 and/or countervailing 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties, and/or an increase in the amount 

of antidumping duties by the amount of 

the countervailing 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), 

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 the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Scope of the Order 4

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is certain activated carbon. The 

products subject to the Order are 

currently classifiable under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheading 

3802.10.00. Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of the Order is 

dispositive. A full description of the 

scope of the Order is contained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by interested parties 

in briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is provided in 

Appendix I to this notice. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s

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 accessed directly 

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

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, in August 2023, Commerce 

conducted verification of the 

questionnaire responses of DJAC and 

Jilin Bright.5

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our verification findings, 

our review of the record, and comments 

received from interested parties 

regarding our Preliminary Results, we 

made certain revisions to the margin 

calculations for DJAC6 and Jilin Bright,7

and consequently, to the rate assigned to 

the non-examined, separate rate 

respondents.8

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

preliminarily determined that Datong 

Municipal Yunguang Activated Carbon 

Co., Ltd., Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet 

Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., and Shanxi 

Dapu International Trade Co., Ltd. had 

no shipments of subject merchandise to 

the United States during the POR.9 No 

party filed comments with respect to 

this preliminary determination and we 

received no information to contradict it. 

Therefore, we continue to find that 

these companies had no shipments of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

and will issue appropriate liquidation 

instructions that are consistent with our 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ clarification for 

these final results.10

Separate Rate Respondents 

In our Preliminary Results, we 

determined that DJAC, Jilin Bright, and 

seven other companies demonstrated 

their eligibility for separate rates.11 We 

received no information or arguments 

since the issuance of the Preliminary 

Results that provide a basis for 

reconsideration of these determinations. 

Therefore, for these final results, we 

continue to find that the seven 

companies listed in the table in the 

‘‘Final Results’’ section of this notice are 

each eligible for a separate rate, in 

addition to DJAC and Jilin Bright. 

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondents 

Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, 

Commerce’s usual practice in 

determining the rate for separate rate 

respondents not selected for individual 

examination is to average the weightedaverage dumping margins for the 

selected companies, excluding rates that 

are zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts available.12 In the Preliminary 

Results,13 and consistent with 

Commerce’s practice,14 we assigned the 

non-examined, separate rate companies 

a weighted-average rate based on the 

publicly available ranged U.S. sales 

quantities of the mandatory respondents 

in this review, as both mandatory 

respondents, DJAC and Jilin Bright, had 

preliminary weighted-average dumping 

margins which were not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available. No parties commented on the 

methodology for calculating this 

separate rate. For these final results, the 

calculated weighted-average dumping 

margin for Jilin Bright changed to 0.00 

U.S. dollar (USD)/kg. Therefore, we 

have assigned the separate rate 

respondents a rate equal to the 

calculated weighted-average dumping 

margin for the mandatory respondent 

whose rate was not zero, de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), or based 

entirely on facts available (i.e., the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

DJAC). This approach is consistent with 

the intent of, and our use of, section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.15

Final Results of Review 

For companies subject to this review, 

which established their eligibility for a 

separate rate, Commerce determines that 

the following weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period, 

April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022: 

Exporters

16 In the second administrative review of the 

Order, Commerce determined that it would 

calculate per-unit weighted-average dumping 

margins and assessment rates for all future reviews. 

See Certain Activated Carbon from the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results and Partial 

Rescission of Second Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 75 FR 70208, 70211 

(November 17, 2010) (Carbon from China AR2), and 

accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum 

(IDM) at Comment 3. 

17This is the rate applicable to the non-examined 

separate rate respondents, as discussed above. 

18 In the third administrative review of the Order, 

Commerce found that Jacobi Carbons AB, Tianjin 

Jacobi International Trading Co. Ltd., and Jacobi 

Carbons Industry (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (collectively, 

Jacobi) should be treated as a single entity, pursuant 

to sections 771(33)(E), (F), and (G) of the Act, and 

19 CFR 351.401(f). SeeCertain Activated Carbon 

from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results 

and Partial Rescission of Third Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 76 FR 67142, 67145, n.25 

(October 31, 2011); Further, in a changed 

circumstances review of the order, Commerce 

determined that Jacobi should be collapsed with its 

new wholly-owned Chinese affiliate, Jacobi 

Adsorbent Materials (JAM), and the single entity, 

inclusive of JAM, should be assigned the same 

antidumping duty cash deposit rate assigned to 

Jacobi for purposes of determining antidumping 

duty liability in this proceeding. See Certain 

Activated Carbon from the People’s Republic of 

China: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Changed Circumstances Review, 86 FR 58874 

(October 25, 2021). Because there were no facts 

presented on the record of this review which would 

call into question our prior findings, we continue 

to treat these companies as part of a single entity 

for this administrative review. 

19 In a changed circumstances review of the 

Order, Commerce found that Ningxia Huahui 

Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. is the 

successor-in-interest to Ningxia Huahui Activated 

Carbon Co. Ltd. (Ningxia Huahui) and should be 

assigned the same antidumping duty cash deposit 

rate assigned to Ningxia Huahui for purposes of 

determining antidumping duty liability in this 

proceeding. See Certain Activated Carbon from the 

People’s Republic of China: Notice of Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances 

Review, 86 FR 64184 (November 17, 2021). 

Therefore, for these final results, we have assigned 

the same antidumping duty rate for cash deposit 

purposes to Ningxia Huahui Environmental 

Technology Co., Ltd. as the rate assigned to Ningxia 

Huahui for assessment purposes.

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

found that six companies for which a 

review was requested did not establish 

eligibility for a separate rate because 

they did not file a timely separate rate 

application (SRA) or a separate rate 

certification, as appropriate.20 Further, 

while Bengbu Modern Environmental 

Co., Ltd. (Bengbu) submitted an SRA 

indicating that it had a sale and entry of 

subject merchandise,21 Commerce 

preliminarily determined that Bengbu is 

not eligible for a separate rate in this 

POR, because Bengbu did not have a 

suspended entry of subject merchandise 

during the POR, and therefore, no 

reviewable entry.22 No party 

commented on Commerce’s Preliminary 

Results with respect to separate rates. 

Therefore, for these final results, we 

determine the seven companies 

identified in Appendix II to be part of 

the China-wide entity. Because no party 

requested a review of the China-wide 

entity, and Commerce no longer 

considers the China-wide entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to 

administrative reviews,23 we did not 

conduct a review of the China-wide 

entity. Thus, the weighted-average 

dumping margin for the China-wide 

entity (i.e., 2.42 USD/kg) 24 is not subject 

to change as a result of this review. 

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 covered by this review. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of 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). 

For DJAC, which has a final weightedaverage dumping margin that is not zero 

or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate importer- (or 

customer-) specific per-unit duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the importer’s (or customer’s) 

examined sales to the total sales 

quantity associated with those sales, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).25

We will also calculate (estimated) ad 

valorem importer-specific assessment 

rates with which to determine whether 

the per-unit assessment rates are de 

minimis.26 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.27

For Jilin Bright, because its final 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

the appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For the respondents which were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review, and which 

qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be equal to the rate 

assigned to them for the final results 

(i.e., 0.23 USD/kg). For the companies 

identified as part of the China-wide 

entity, we will instruct CBP to apply a 

per-unit assessment rate of 2.42 USD/kg 

to all entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR which was exported by 

those companies.

Administrative Review; 2020–2022, 88 FR 30087 

(May 10, 2023) (Preliminary Results), and 

accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

(PDM). 

Pursuant to a refinement in our nonmarket economy practice, for sales that 

were not reported in the U.S. sales data 

submitted by companies individually 

examined during this review, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries 

associated with those sales at the rate 

for the China-wide entity. Furthermore, 

where we found that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s case 

number (i.e., at that exporter’s cash 

deposit rate) will be liquidated at the 

rate for the China-wide entity.28

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following per-unit cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from China 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for DJAC, 

Jilin Bright, and the non-examined 

separate rate respondents, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to their 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established in the final results of this 

review; (2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 

exporters not listed above that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which they were reviewed; (3) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the China-wide entity (i.e., 2.42 USD/ 

kg); and (4) for all non-Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These per-unit cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also 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 has occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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
