People’s Republic of China (China). 

Based on the timely withdrawal of the 

requests for review of certain

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all review requests were withdrawn.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

Investigation 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

SUMMARY: Based on Worthington 

Industries and Manchester Tank & 

Equipment Co.’s (the petitioners) 

withdrawal of the antidumping duty 

(AD) petition on steel propane cylinders 

from Taiwan, we are terminating the 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation. 

DATES: Applicable June 26, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 22, 2018, Commerce received 

AD petitions concerning imports of steel 

propane cylinders from China, Taiwan 

and Thailand, filed on behalf of the 

petitioners.1 On June 11, 2018, 

Commerce initiated the LTFV 

investigations of steel propane cylinders 

from China, Taiwan and Thailand, 

which were published in the Federal 

Register on June 18, 2018.2 On June 14, 

2018, the petitioners submitted a letter 

withdrawing the AD petition with 

respect to Taiwan.3 Section 

351.207(b)(1) of Commerce’s regulations 

stipulates that the Secretary may 

terminate an investigation, provided it 

has concluded that termination of the 

investigation is in the public interest.4

Because the petitioners have withdrawn 

their May 22, 2017, AD petition with 

respect to Taiwan, and have requested 

that Commerce terminate this 

investigation, we determine that 

termination of this investigation is in 

the public interest, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.207(b)(1).5 Accordingly, pursuant to 

section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.207(b)(1), we are terminating the 

LTFV investigation with respect to 

Taiwan. 

Termination of Investigation 

In accordance with section 

734(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.207(b)(1), upon the petitioners’ 

withdrawal of the Taiwan petition, we 

are terminating the LTFV investigation 

of steel propane cylinders from Taiwan.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 20, 2018, the Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) initiated lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of 

imports of rubber bands from China, Sri 

Lanka, and Thailand.1 On March 19, 

2018, the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) notified Commerce of 

its affirmative preliminary 

determination with respect to China and 

Thailand, its negligibility determination 

concerning imports of rubber bands 

from Sri Lanka, and its termination of 

its investigation of imports from Sri 

Lanka.2 On March 22, the ITC published 

in the Federal Register a notice of its 

preliminary determination with respect 

to China and Thailand, and its 

determination that imports of rubber 

bands from Sri Lanka are negligible.3

Because the ITC has terminated its 

investigation of rubber bands from Sri 

Lanka, Commerce’s investigation is also 

terminated.4 The preliminary 

determinations for China and Thailand
