Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Certain Activated 

Carbon from the People’s Republic of 

China 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

DATES: March 2, 2007. 

SUMMARY: On October 11, 2006, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published its preliminary 

determination of sales at less than fair 

value (‘‘LTFV’’) in the antidumping 

investigation of certain activated carbon 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘PRC’’). The period of investigation 

(‘‘POI’’) is July 1, 2005, through 

December 31, 2005. We invited 

interested parties to comment on our 

preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV. Based on our analysis of the 

comments we received, we have made 

changes to our calculations for the 

mandatory respondents. The final 

dumping margins for this investigation 

are listed in the ‘‘Final Determination 

Margins’’ section below.

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–3207 or 482–6375, 

respectively. 

Final Determination 

We determine that certain activated 

carbon from the PRC is being, or is 

likely to be, sold in the United States at 

LTFV as provided in section 735 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’). The estimated margins of sales at 

LTFV are shown in the ‘‘Final 

Determination Margins’’ section of this 

notice. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Case History 

The Department published its 

preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV on October 11, 2006. See 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and Postponement 

of Final Determination: Certain 

Activated Carbon from the People’s 

Republic of China, 71 FR 59721 

(October 11, 2006) (‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’). The Department 

conducted verification of Calgon Carbon 

(Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (‘‘CCT’’) and certain 

of its suppliers. As the Department 

determined in the Preliminary 

Determination that Jacobi Carbons AB 

(‘‘Jacobi AB’’) was the appropriate 

mandatory respondent in this case (see 

Preliminary Determination at 71 FR at 

59725), the Department conducted 

verification of Jacobi AB and certain of 

its suppliers. The Department also 

conducted verification of Jilin Province 

Bright Future Chemicals Co. Ltd. (‘‘JBF 

Chemical’’) and its affiliated company 

Jilin Province Bright Future Industry & 

Commerce Co. Ltd. (‘‘JBF Industry’’) 

(collectively, ‘‘Jilin Bright Future’’) and 

one of its suppliers, in both the PRC and 

the United States (where applicable), 

and Ningxia Huahui Activated Carbon 

Co., Ltd., one of the separate rate 

applicants. See the ‘‘Verification’’

section below for additional 

information. 

We invited parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Determination. We received 

a case brief from Carbochem Inc. 

(‘‘Carbochem’’) on January 11, 2007. We 

received case briefs from respondents 

Jacobi AB and CCT on January 16, 2007. 

We also received a case brief from 

Calgon Carbon Corporation and Norit 

Americas Inc. (‘‘Petitioners’’), on 

January 12, 2007. We received rebuttal 

briefs on January 22, 2007, from the 

following companies: Jacobi AB, CCT, 

Jilin Bright Future, and Petitioners. All 

parties that timely requested a hearing 

in this case withdrew those requests 

prior to the submission of case briefs. 

Therefore, the Department did not hold 

a hearing in this case. 

On February 2, 2007, we invited 

parties to comment on the revised NME 

wage rate, to be used in the final 

determination of this investigation. No 

parties submitted comments on this 

issue. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this 

investigation are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum for the 

Final Determination in the Investigation 

of Certain Activated Carbon from the 

People’s Republic of China, dated 

February 23, 2007, which is hereby 

adopted by this notice (‘‘Issues and 

Decision Memorandum’’). A list of the 

issues which parties raised and to 

which we respond in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is attached to 

this notice as an Appendix. The Issue 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file in the Central 

Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’), Main Commerce 

Building, Room B–099, and is accessible 

on the Web at http://www.trade.gov/ia. 

The paper copy and electronic version 

of the memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of comments 

received, we have made changes to the 

margin calculation for CCT, Jacobi AB 

and Jilin Bright Future as follows. 

CCT: 

We have made changes resulting from 

minor corrections and findings at CCT’s 

verifications. For a detailed analysis of 

CCT’s margin calculation see the Final 

Analysis Memorandum for CCT, dated 

February 23, 2007. 

Jacobi: 

We have made the following changes 

to Jacobi AB’s margin calculation: 

We have determined that it is 

appropriate to apply partial adverse 

facts available (‘‘AFA’’) to Jacobi for its 

reported factors of production supplied 

by Ningxia Guanghua Activated Carbon 

Co., Ltd.’s (‘‘NXGH’’). See below and 

Issues and Decision Memorandum at 

Comment 7. We have revised the 

application of facts available for one of 

Jacobi AB’s suppliers. In addition, we 

have made changes to Jacobi AB’s U.S. 

sales and factors of production resulting 

from minor corrections and findings at 

Jacobi AB’s verifications. See Issues and 

Decision Memorandum at Comment 19 

and Memorandum to the File from Anya 

L. Naschak: Jacobi Carbons AB, Tianjin 

Jacobi International Trading Co., Ltd., 

and Jacobi Carbons, Inc. Program 

Analysis for the Final Determination, 

dated February 23, 2007 (‘‘Jacobi Final 

Analysis Memorandum’’). For a detailed 

analysis of Jacobi AB’s margin 

calculation, see Jacobi Final Analysis 

Memorandum. Jilin Bright Future: 

As discussed in Comment 27 of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, we 

have determined to apply total adverse 

facts available to Jilin Bright Future. We 

have assigned the PRC–wide margin of 

228.11 percent to Jilin Bright Future. 

In addition, the Department has made 

changes to its calculation of the truck 

freight surrogate value as described in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 

Comment 3, and to the calculation of 

certain chemical inputs as described in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 

Comment 18. See also, Jacobi and CCT’s 

Final Analysis Memoranda. The 

Department has also revised the 

surrogate value for labor to $0.83, a the 

revised expected wage rate posted on 

the Department’s website on February 2, 

2007. Further, the Department 

determines that it is appropriate to 

apply the methodology described in the 

December 27, 2006 Federal Register

Affiliation 

The Department preliminarily 

determined that Jacobi AB, Tianjin 

Jacobi International Trading Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Jacobi Tianjin’’), and Jacobi Carbons, 

Inc. (‘‘Jacobi US’’) (collectively, 

‘‘Jacobi’’) are affiliated with each other, 

and that Jacobi AB is the appropriate 

mandatory respondent in this case. See 

Memorandum to the File: Certain 

Activated Carbon from the People’s 

Republic of China: Affiliation and 

Treatment of Sales of Jacobi Tianjin 

International Trading Co., Ltd., Jacobi 

Carbons AB, and Jacobi Carbons, Inc., 

dated October 4, 2006, for further details 

regarding this issue. No comments were 

received on this issue and no 

information was placed on the record 

that would call into question the 

Department’s determination in this 

regard. Therefore, the Department 

continues to find that Jacobi AB, Jacobi 

Tianjin, and Jacobi US are affiliated and 

Jacobi AB is the appropriate mandatory 

respondent in this case. 

Scope of Investigation 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is certain activated carbon. 

Certain activated carbon is a powdered, 

granular, or pelletized carbon product 

obtained by ‘‘activating’’ with heat and 

steam various materials containing 

carbon, including but not limited to coal 

(including bituminous, lignite, and 

anthracite), wood, coconut shells, olive 

stones, and peat. The thermal and steam 

treatments remove organic materials and 

create an internal pore structure in the 

carbon material. The producer can also 

use carbon dioxide gas (CO2) in place of 

steam in this process. The vast majority 

of the internal porosity developed 

during the high temperature steam (or 

CO2 gas) activated process is a direct 

result of oxidation of a portion of the 

solid carbon atoms in the raw material, 

converting them into a gaseous form of 

carbon. 

The scope of this investigation covers 

all forms of activated carbon that are 

activated by steam or CO2, regardless of 

the raw material, grade, mixture, 

additives, further washing or post 

activation chemical treatment (chemical 

or water washing, chemical 

impregnation or other treatment), or 

product form. Unless specifically 

excluded, the scope of this investigation 

covers all physical forms of certain 

activated carbon, including powdered 

activated carbon (‘‘PAC’’), granular 

activated carbon (‘‘GAC’’), and 

pelletized activated carbon. 

Excluded from the scope of the 

investigation are chemically–activated 

carbons. The carbon–based raw material 

used in the chemical activation process 

is treated with a strong chemical agent, 

including but not limited to phosphoric 

acid, zinc chloride sulfuric acid or 

potassium hydroxide, that dehydrates 

molecules in the raw material, and 

results in the formation of water that is 

removed from the raw material by 

moderate heat treatment. The activated 

carbon created by chemical activation 

has internal porosity developed 

primarily due to the action of the 

chemical dehydration agent. Chemically 

activated carbons are typically used to 

activate raw materials with a 

lignocellulosic component such as 

cellulose, including wood, sawdust, 

paper mill waste and peat. 

To the extent that an imported 

activated carbon product is a blend of 

steam and chemically activated carbons, 

products containing 50 percent or more 

steam (or CO2 gas) activated carbons are 

within this scope, and those containing 

more than 50 percent chemically 

activated carbons are outside this scope. 

This exclusion language regarding 

blended material applies only to 

mixtures of steam and chemically 

activated carbons. 

Also excluded from the scope are 

reactivated carbons. Reactivated carbons 

are previously used activated carbons 

that have had adsorbed materials 

removed from their pore structure after 

use through the application of heat, 

steam and/or chemicals. 

Also excluded from the scope is 

activated carbon cloth. Activated carbon 

cloth is a woven textile fabric made of 

or containing activated carbon fibers. It 

is used in masks and filters and clothing 

of various types where a woven format 

is required. 

Any activated carbon meeting the 

physical description of subject 

merchandise provided above that is not 

expressly excluded from the scope is 

included within this scope. The 

products under investigation are 

currently classifiable under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheading 

3802.10.00. Although HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive. Scope 

Comments 

We have addressed comments to the 

Scope in our Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and have determined not 

to revise the scope of this investigation 

other than to clarify that the exclusion 

for certain blended activated carbon 

only applies to mixtures of steam and 

chemically activated carbons. 

Facts Available 

Section 776(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that if an interested party: (A) withholds 

information that has been requested by 

the Department; (B) fails to provide such 

information in a timely manner or in the 

form or manner requested, subject to 

subsections 782(c)(1) and (e) of the Act; 

(C) significantly impedes a 

determination under the antidumping 

statute; or (D) provides such information 

but the information cannot be verified, 

the Department shall, subject to 

subsection 782(d) of the Act, use facts 

otherwise available in reaching the 

applicable determination. 

Section 776(b) of the Act states that if 

the administering authority finds that an 

interested party has not acted to the best 

of its ability to comply with a request 

for information, the administering 

authority may, in reaching its 

determination, use an inference that is 

adverse to that party. The adverse 

inference may be based upon: (1) the 

petition, (2) a final determination in the 

investigation under this title, (3) any 

previous review under section 751 or 

determination under section 753, or (4) 

any other information placed on the 

record. 

CCT: 

For this final determination, in 

accordance with section 776(a)(2) of the 

Act and 776(b) of the Act, we have 

determined that the use of adverse facts 

available (‘‘AFA’’) is appropriate for 

CCT’s suppliers that have been deemed 

uncooperative. See Issues and Decision 

Memorandum at Comment 20. As 

partial AFA, we are applying the 

weighted–average of the two highest 

calculated CONNUM–specific NVs 

selected from all of the cooperating 

suppliers1 of CCT andJacobi to all sales 

made by CCT of these suppliers 

products. See Memorandum to the File 

from Anya Naschak: Calculation of 

Adverse Facts Available Rate dated 

February 23, 2007. 

Jacobi: 

For this final determination, in 

accordance with section 776(a)(2) of the 

Act and 776(b) of the Act, we have 

determined that the use of adverse facts 

available (‘‘AFA’’) is appropriate for 

Jacobi’s reported factors of production 

supplied by Ningxia Guanghua

2We excluded the supplier NXGH of Jacobi as 

well as the CCT’s suppliers who did not provided 

FOP information. 

Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.’s (‘‘NXGH’’). 

See Issues and Decision Memorandum 

at Comment 7. As partial AFA, we are 

applying the weighted–average of the 

two highest calculated CONNUM–

specific NVs selected from all of the 

cooperating suppliers2 of CCT and 

Jacobi to all sales made by Jacobi of 

NXGH–produced products. See 

Memorandum to the File From Anya 

Naschak: Calculation of Adverse Facts 

Available Rate dated February 23, 2007. 

Jilin Bright Future: 

For the final determination, the 

Department is applying total adverse 

facts available to Jilin Bright Future. The 

Department is applying the facts 

otherwise available to Jilin Bright 

Future because it failed to provide 

verifiable factors of production data and 

misrepresented and misreported its 

production operations and factors of 

production, in accordance with sections 

776(a)(2)(A), (C) & (D) of the Act. 

Furthermore, in accordance with section 

776(b) of the Act, the Department found 

that Jilin Bright Future failed to 

cooperate to the best of its ability to 

comply with the Department’s request 

for information, and, therefore, finds an 

adverse inference is warranted in 

determining the facts otherwise 

available. For a complete discussion of 

this matter, see Comment 27 of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, we verified the information 

submitted by the respondents and one 

separate rate applicant for use in our 

final determination. See the 

Department’s verification reports on the 

record of this investigation in the CRU 

with respect to CCT, Jacobi, Jilin Bright 

Future, and Ningxia Huahui Activated 

Carbon Co., Ltd. For all verified 

companies, we used standard 

verification procedures, including 

examination of relevant accounting and 

production records, as well as original 

source documents provided by 

respondents. 

Surrogate Country 

In the Preliminary Determination, we 

stated that we had selected India as the 

appropriate surrogate country to use in 

this investigation for the following 

reasons: (1) it is a significant producer 

of comparable merchandise; (2) it is at 

a similar level of economic development 

pursuant to 773(c)(4) of the Act; and (3) 

we have reliable data from India that we 

can use to value the factors of 

production. See Preliminary 

Determination. For the final 

determination, we received no 

comments and made no changes to our 

findings with respect to the selection of 

a surrogate country. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non–marketeconomy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the 

Department begins with a rebuttable 

presumption that all companies within 

the country are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assigned a 

single antidumping duty deposit rate. It 

is the Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to an 

investigation in an NME country this 

single rate unless an exporter can 

demonstrate that it is sufficiently 

independent so as to be entitled to a 

separate rate. See Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers 

from the People’s Republic of China, 56 

FR 20588 (May 6, 1991) (‘‘Sparklers’’), 

as amplified by Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the 

People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 

(May 2, 1994) (‘‘Silicon Carbide’’), and 

Section 351.107(d) of the Department’s 

regulations. 

In the Preliminary Determination, we 

found that CCT, Jacobi and Jilin Bright 

Future, and the separate rate applicants 

who received a separate rate (‘‘Separate 

Rate Applicants’’) in the Preliminary 

Determination demonstrated their 

eligibility for separate–rate status. For 

the final determination, we continue to 

find that the evidence placed on the 

record of this investigation by CCT, 

Jacobi and Jilin Bright Future, and the 

Separate Rate Applicants demonstrate 

both a de jure and de facto absence of 

government control, with respect to 

their respective exports of the 

merchandise under investigation, and, 

thus are eligible for separate rate status. 

We determined in the Preliminary 

Determination that Panshan Import and 

Export Corporation is not entitled to a 

separate rate. We received no comments 

on this issue and we continue to find 

that Panshan Import and Export 

Corporation is not entitled to a separate 

rate. 

The PRC–Wide Rate 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

Department found that certain 

companies and the PRC–wide entity did 

not respond to our requests information. 

In the Preliminary Determination we 

treated these PRC producers/exporters 

as part of the PRC–wide entity because 

they did not demonstrate that they 

operate free of government control. No 

additional information has been placed 

on the record with respect to these 

entities after the Preliminary 

Determination. The PRC–wide entity 

has not provided the Department with 

the requested information; therefore, 

pursuant to section 776(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act, the Department continues to find 

that the use of facts available is 

appropriate to determine the PRC–wide 

rate. Section 776(b) of the Act provides 

that, in selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, the Department 

may employ an adverse inference if an 

interested party fails to cooperate by not 

acting to the best of its ability to comply 

with requests for information. See 

Notice of Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Cold–

Rolled Flat–Rolled Carbon–Quality Steel 

Products from the Russian Federation, 

65 FR 5510, 5518 (February 4, 2000). 

See also, ‘‘Statement of Administrative 

Action’’ accompanying the URAA, H.R. 

Rep. No. 103–316, vol. 1, at 870 (1994) 

(‘‘SAA’’). We find that, because the 

PRC–wide entity did not respond to our 

request for information, it has failed to 

cooperate to the best of its ability. The 

PRC wide entity includes Datong 

Huibao Activated Carbon Co., Ltd and 

its affiliated company Beijing Hibridge 

Trading Co., Ltd., who we preliminary 

determined was part of the PRC–wide 

entity as it was selected as a mandatory 

respondent and then withdrew. 

Therefore, the Department finds that, in 

selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, an adverse 

inference is appropriate for the PRC–

wide entity. 

Because we begin with the 

presumption that all companies within 

a NME country are subject to 

government control and because only 

the companies listed under the ‘‘Final 

Determination Margins’’ section below 

have overcome that presumption, we are 

applying a single antidumping rate - the 

PRC–wide rate - to all other exporters of 

subject merchandise from the PRC. Such 

companies did not demonstrate 

entitlement to a separate rate. See, e.g., 

Synthetic Indigo from the People’s 

Republic of China: Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value, 65 FR 25706 (May 3, 2000). 

The PRC–wide rate applies to all entries 

of subject merchandise except for 

entries from the respondents which are 

listed in the ‘‘Final Determination 

Margins’’ section below (except as 

noted). 

Corroboration 

At the Preliminary Determination, in 

accordance with section 776(c) of the 

Act, we corroborated our adverse facts 

available (‘‘AFA’’) margin using 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 41 / Friday, March 2, 2007 / Notices 9511 

information submitted by certain 

respondents. To assess the probative 

value of the total AFA rate it has chosen 

for the PRC–wide entity, the Department 

compared the final margin calculations 

of certain respondents in this 

investigation with the rate of 228.11 

percent from the petition, as used in the 

Preliminary Determination. We 

continue to find that the rate is within 

the range of the highest margins we 

have determined in this investigation. 

See Memorandum to the File: 

Corroboration of the PRC–Wide Facts 

Available Rate for the Final 

Determination in the Antidumping Duty 

Investigation of Certain Activated 

Carbon from the People’s Republic of 

China, dated February 23, 2007 (‘‘Final 

Corroboration Memo’’). Since the record 

of this investigation contains margins 

within the range of 228.11 percent, the 

margin selected from the petition, we 

determine that the rate used in the 

Preliminary Determination continues to 

be relevant for use in this investigation. 

As discussed therein, we found that the 

margin of 228.11 percent has probative 

value. See Final Corroboration Memo. 

Accordingly, we find that the rate of 

228.11 percent is corroborated within 

the meaning of section 776(c) of the Act. 

Combination Rates 

In its initiation notice, the Department 

stated that it would calculate 

combination rates for certain 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. See 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigation: Certain Activated Carbon 

From the People’s Republic of China, 71 

FR 16757 (April 4, 2006) (‘‘Initiation 

Notice’’). Therefore, for the final 

determination, we have assigned a 

combination rate to respondents that are 

eligible for a separate rate. 

Final Determination Margins 

We determine that the following 

percentage weighted–average margins 

exist for the POI:

Disclosure 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the 

Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to continue 

to suspend liquidation of all entries of 

subject merchandise from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after October 11, 

2006, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination. CBP shall 

continue to require a cash deposit or the 

posting of a bond equal to the estimated 

amount by which the normal value 

exceeds the U.S. price as shown above. 

These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we have notified the 

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) 

of our final determination of sales at 

LTFV. As our final determination is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, within 45 days the 

ITC will determine whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of the subject merchandise. 

If the ITC determines that material 

injury or threat of material injury does 

not exist, the proceeding will be 

terminated and all securities posted will 

be refunded or canceled. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 41 / Friday, March 2, 2007 / Notices 9513 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding APO 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to the parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely 

notification of 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. This 

determination and notice are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

This determination and notice are 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act. 

Dated: February 23, 2007.

and pursuant to section 751(b) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR § 351.216 and 351.221(c)(3), the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published antidumping 

duty orders on ball bearings, cylindrical 

roller bearings, and spherical plain 

bearings and parts thereof from France 

on May 15, 1989. See Antidumping Duty 

Orders: Ball Bearings, Cylindrical Roller 

Bearings, Spherical Plain Bearings, and 

Parts Thereof From France, 54 FR 20902 

(May 15, 1989). The order on cylindrical 

roller bearings and parts thereof from 

France was revoked, effective January 1, 

2000. See Revocation of Antidumping 

Duty Orders on Certain Bearings From 

Hungary, Japan, Romania, Sweden, 

France, Germany, Italy, and the United 

Kingdom, 65 FR 42667 (July 11, 2000). 

The order on spherical plain bearings 

and parts thereof from France was also 

revoked, effective July 11, 2005. See 

Antifriction Bearings and Parts Thereof 

from France and Singapore: Revocation 

of Antidumping Duty Orders, 71 FR 

54468 (September 15, 2006). 

Societe Nouvelle de Fabrication 

Aeronautique S.A.S.U. (SNFA) and SKF 

France S.A. have participated in 

numerous administrative reviews of the 

order on ball bearings and parts thereof 

from France. On August 11, 2000, the 

Department revoked the order, effective 

May 1, 1999, with respect to sales of 

bearings by SNFA. See Antifriction 

Bearings (Other Than Tapered Roller 

Bearings) and Parts Thereof from 

France, Germany, Italy, Japan, 

Romania, Singapore, Sweden and the 

United Kingdom; Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Revocation of Orders in 

Part, 65 FR 49219 (August 11, 2000). 

On January 9, 2007, SNFA and SKF 

France S.A. and SKF Aerospace France 

S.A.S. (collectively SKF France) 

requested that the Department initiate 

and conduct a changed–circumstances 

review in order to determine that, for 

purposes of the order on ball bearings 

and parts thereof, SNFA is not a 

successor–in-interest to SKF France 

following SNFA’s acquisition by that 

company and that it is the successor–ininterest to the pre–acquisition SNFA. 

We did not receive any other 

comments. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by these orders 

are ball bearings (other than tapered 

roller bearings) and parts thereof. These
