Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: 

Certain Activated Carbon From the 

People’s Republic of China 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) and the 

International Trade Commission 

(‘‘ITC’’), the Department is issuing an 

antidumping duty order on certain 

activated carbon from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). On April 16, 

2007, the ITC notified the Department of 

its affirmative determination of material 

injury to a U.S. industry (Certain 

Activated Carbon from China, 

Investigation No. 731–TA–1103 (Final), 

Publication 3913, April 2007). 

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 27, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with section 735(d) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’), on March 2, 2007, 

the Department published the Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Certain Activated Carbon 

from the People’s Republic of China, 72 

FR 9508 (March 2, 2007) (‘‘Final 

Determination’’). An amended final 

determination was published on March 

30, 2007. See Notice of Amended Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Certain Activated Carbon 

from the People’s Republic of China, 72 

FR 15099, (March 30, 2007). 

Scope of Order 

The merchandise subject to this order 

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 order covers all 

forms of activated carbon that are 

activated by steam or CO2, regardless of 

the raw material, grade, mixture, 

additives, further washing or postactivation chemical treatment (chemical 

or water washing, chemical 

impregnation or other treatment), or 

product form. Unless specifically 

excluded, the scope of this order 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 order 

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 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 this order is 

dispositive. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

On April 16, 2007, in accordance with 

section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of lessthan-fair-value imports of subject 

merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, 

in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of 

the Act, the Department will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

the Department, antidumping duties 

equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise for all 

relevant entries of certain activated 

carbon from the PRC. These 

antidumping duties will be assessed on 

all unliquidated entries of certain 

activated carbon from the PRC entered, 

or withdrawn from the warehouse, for 

consumption on or after October 11, 

2006, the date on which the Department 

published its preliminary 

determination. 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’’). 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of exporters that 

account for a significant proportion of 

the PRC exports of the subject 

merchandise, we extended the fourmonth period to no more than six 

months. See Preliminary Determination, 

71 FR 59723. In this investigation, the 

six-month period beginning on the date 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 81 / Friday April 27, 2007 / Notices 20989 

of the publication of the preliminary 

determination ends on April 8, 2007. 

Furthermore, section 737 of the Act 

states that definitive duties are to begin 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final injury determination. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 733(d) of the 

Act and our practice, we will instruct 

CBP to terminate the suspension of 

liquidation and to liquidate, without 

regard to antidumping duties, 

unliquidated entries of certain activated 

carbon from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after April 9, 2007, 

and before the date of publication of the 

ITC ’s final injury determination in the 

Federal Register. Suspension of 

liquidation will resume on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Effective on the date of publication of 

the ITC’s final affirmative injury 

determination, CBP officers will require, 

at the same time as importers would 

normally deposit estimated duties on 

this merchandise, a cash deposit equal 

to the estimated weighted-average 

antidumping duty margins as listed 

below. The ‘‘PRC-wide’’ rate applies to 

all exporters of subject merchandise not 

specifically listed. The weightedaverage dumping margins are as follows:

Non–Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting the 

third administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on non–

malleable cast iron pipe fittings (‘‘NMP 

fittings’’) from the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the period April 

1, 2005, through March 31, 2006. We 

preliminarily determine to apply 

adverse facts available (‘‘AFA’’) with 

respect to Myland Industrial Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Myland’’), and Buxin Myland 

(Foundry) Ltd. (‘‘Buxin’’), which failed 

to cooperate to the best of their ability 

and failed to demonstrate their 

eligibility for a separate rate. 

If these preliminary results are 

adopted in our final results of this 

review, we will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the period of review (‘‘POR’’). Interested 

parties are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. We will issue the 

final results no later than 120 days from 

the date of publication of this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 27, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 7, 2003, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on NMP fittings 

from the PRC. See Notice of 

Antidumping Duty Order: Non–

Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Filings 

(Sic.)From the People’s Republic of 

China, 68 FR 16765 (April 7, 2003). On 

April 3, 2006, the Department published 

a notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on NMP fittings 

from the PRC for the period April 1, 

2005, through March 31, 2006. See 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review, 71 FR 16549 

(April 3, 2006). On April 20, 2006, 

Myland and Buxin requested an 

administrative review of their sales of 

NMP fittings to the United States during 

the POR. No other party requested a 

review of shipments made by Myland or 

Buxin. On April 28, 2006, Ward 

Manufacturing, Inc. (‘‘Ward’’), a 

domestic producer of NMP fittings, 

requested an administrative review of 

the sales to the United States during the 

POR of subject merchandise produced 

and/or exported by Jinan Meide 

Corporation (‘‘JMC’’) and Shanghai 

Foreign Trade Enterprises Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘SFTEC’’). On May 31, 2006, the
