SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States Investment Advisory 

Council (Council) was established by 

the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) 

pursuant to duties imposed by 15 U.S.C. 

1512 upon the Department and in 

compliance with the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 

U.S.C. App. 

The Council functions solely as an 

advisory committee in accordance with 

the provisions of FACA. In particular, 

the Council advises the Secretary on 

government policies and programs that 

affect foreign direct investment (FDI), 

identifies and recommends programs 

and policies to help the United States 

attract and retain FDI, and recommends 

ways to support the United States in 

remaining the world’s preeminent 

destination for FDI. The Council acts as 

a liaison among the stakeholders 

represented by the membership and 

provides a forum for the stakeholders on 

current and emerging issues regarding 

FDI. 

The Council reports to the Secretary 

of Commerce on its activities and 

recommendations regarding FDI. In 

creating its reports, the Council is to 

survey and evaluate the investment and 

investment-facilitating activities of 

stakeholders, identify and examine 

specific problems facing potential 

foreign investors, and examine the 

needs of stakeholders to inform the 

Council’s efforts. The Council is to 

recommend specific solutions to the 

problems and needs that it identifies. 

Each member is to be appointed for a 

term of two years and serves at the 

pleasure of the Secretary. The Secretary 

may at his/her discretion reappoint any 

member to an additional term or terms, 

provided that the member proves to 

work effectively on the Council and his/ 

her knowledge and advice is still 

needed. 

The Council consists of no more than 

twenty members appointed by the 

Secretary. Members are to represent 

companies and organizations investing, 

seeking to invest, seeking foreign 

investors, or facilitating investment 

across many sectors, including but not 

limited to: 

• U.S.-incorporated companies that 

are majority-owned by foreign 

companies or by a foreign individual or 

individuals, or that generate significant 

foreign direct investment (e.g., through 

their supply chains); 

• Companies or entities whose 

business includes FDI-related activities 

or the facilitation of FDI; and 

• Economic development 

organizations and other U.S. 

governmental and non-governmental 

organizations and associations whose 

missions or activities include the 

promotion or facilitation of FDI. 

Members are selected based on their 

ability to carry out the objectives of the 

Council, in accordance with applicable 

Department of Commerce guidelines, in 

a manner that ensures that the Council 

is balanced in terms of points of view, 

industry subsector, organization type, 

geography of the source and the 

destination of the FDI, and company 

size. Members are to represent a broad 

range of products and services and be 

drawn from large, medium, and small 

enterprises, private-sector organizations 

involved in investment, and other 

investment-related entities including 

non-governmental organizations, 

associations, and economic 

development organizations. 

In selecting members, priority may be 

given to the selection of executives, i.e., 

Chief Executive Officer, Executive 

Chairman, President, or an officer with 

a comparable level of responsibility. 

Members serve in a representative 

capacity, representing the views and 

interests of their sponsoring entity and 

those of their particular sector (if 

applicable). Members are not special 

government employees and will receive 

no compensation for their participation 

in Council activities. Members will not 

be reimbursed for travel expenses 

related to Council activities. 

Appointments to the Council shall be 

made without regard to political 

affiliation. All members must be a U.S. 

national. 

The Secretary designates a Chair and 

Vice Chair from among the members. 

The Council will meet a minimum of 

two times a year, to the extent practical, 

with additional meetings called at the 

discretion of the Secretary or his/her 

designee. Meetings will be held in 

Washington, DC or elsewhere in the 

United States, or by teleconference, as 

feasible. Members are expected to attend 

a majority of Council meetings.

published a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the

People’s Republic of China (China). 

Based on the timely withdrawal of the 

requests for review of certain 

companies, we are now rescinding this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 26, 2009, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on small 

diameter graphite electrodes from 

China.1 On February 1, 2018, Commerce 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on small 

diameter graphite electrodes from China 

for the period of review February 1, 

2017, through January 31, 2018.2

On February 28, 2018, Tokai Carbon 

GE LLC (the petitioner) 3 requested an 

administrative review of the order for 

192 producers and/or exporters of the 

subject merchandise, including Fushun 

Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd.4 In 

addition, on February 28, 2018, 

producer and exporter Fushun Jinly 

Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. 

requested a review of itself.5 On April 

16, 2018, in accordance with section 

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the order on 

small diameter graphite electrodes from 

China with respect to 193 companies.6

On May 4, 2018, the petitioner 

withdrew its administrative review 

request for 191 out of the 192 companies 

for which it requested a review.7 See the 

Initiation Notice for the full list of 

companies for which Commerce 

initiated a review. 

Partial Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested the 

review withdraws its request within 90 

days of the publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. In 

this case, the petitioner timely withdrew 

its review request, in part, by the 90-day 

deadline, and no other party requested 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order for the 

companies for which the petitioner 

withdrew its review request. Therefore, 

we are rescinding the administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on small diameter graphite electrodes 

from China for the period February 1, 

2017, through January 31, 2018, with 

respect to the 191 companies for which 

all review requests were withdrawn. 

The review will continue only with 

respect to the remaining company 

Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., 

Ltd, aka Fushun Jinli Petrochemical 

Carbon Co., Ltd.8

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. For the companies for which 

this review is rescinded, antidumping 

duties shall be assessed on the subject 

merchandise at rates equal to the cash 

deposit of estimated antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends 

to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

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 duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could
