Certain Activated Carbon From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Expedited Second Sunset 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The 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 June 11, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 1, 2018, Commerce 

initiated the second 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 The Department received 

a 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, the Department 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 

complete description of the scope of this 

Order, see the accompanying Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.4

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. Parties may find a complete 

discussion of all issues raised in the 

review and the corresponding 

recommendations in this public 

memorandum which is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Services System (ACCESS). 

Access to ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the 

Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of 

the main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be access directly at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The 

signed and electronic versions of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum are 

identical in content. 

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 margins 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 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in

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. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results and notice in accordance with 

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

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218.

calculate importer-specific assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of the 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).7 If TFM’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis in the final results of review,
