Diameter Graphite Electrodes from the People’s 

Republic of China—Request for Initiation of 

Antidumping Administrative Review,’’ dated 

February 28, 2018. The petitioner’s review request 

included Fushun Jinli Petrochemical Carbon Co., 

Ltd. (emphasis added). 

5See Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., 

Ltd.’s, ‘‘Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes from 

the People’s Republic of China: Request for an 

Administrative Review,’’ dated February 28, 2018. 

For purposes of this review, we are treating Fushun 

Jinli Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. and Fushun 

Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. as the same 

respondent company. In a prior administrative 

review of electrodes from China, we found that 

Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. is the 

same entity as Fushun Jinli Petrochemical Carbon 

Co., Ltd. See, e.g., Small Diameter Graphite 

Electrodes from the People’s Republic of China: 

Final Results of the Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 77 FR 40854, 40856 n.3 

(July 11, 2012). Consistent with this determination, 

and in the absence of contrary evidence, we are 

continuing to treat these companies as the same 

entity. See also Memorandum, ‘‘Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review: Small Diameter Graphite 

Electrodes form the People’s Republic of China— 

Respondent Selection,’’ dated May 15, 2018. 

6See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 

16298 (April 16, 2018). Because the petitioner 

requested a review for Fushun Jinli Petrochemical 

Carbon Co., Ltd. and Fushun Jinly requested a 

review of itself under the name Fushun Jinly 

Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd., we initiated a 

review with respect to 193 companies.

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. (Fushun 

Jinly) 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, 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 with respect to all companies 

except Fushun Jinly,7 and on June 26, 

2018, we rescinded the administrative 

review request for all companies, except 

Fushun Jinly.8 On July 17, 2018, the 

petitioner withdrew its administrative 

review request for Fushun Jinly.9

Additionally, on July 17, 2018, Fushun 

Jinly withdrew its administrative review 

request of itself.10

Rescission of Administrative Review 

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

Secretary 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 date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. In this case, the 

petitioner and Fushun Jinly timely 

withdrew their review requests by the 

90-day deadline. No other parties 

requested an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on small 

diameter graphite electrodes from 

China. 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. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. Antidumping duties shall be 

assessed 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 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to 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(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

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 

sanctionable violation. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4).

The Department of Commerce, 

International Trade Administration, 

Office of Finance and Insurance

functions solely as an advisory 

committee. The TFAC shall advise the 

Secretary in identifying effective ways 

to help expand access to finance for U.S. 

exporters, including small- and 

medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and 

their foreign buyers. 

The TFAC shall provide a forum to 

facilitate the discussion between a 

diverse group of stakeholders such as 

banks, non-bank financial institutions, 

other trade finance related 

organizations, and exporters to gain a 

better understanding regarding current 

challenges facing U.S. exporters in 

accessing capital. 

The TFAC shall draw upon the 

experience of its members to identify 

how new technologies and other 

innovative solutions can expand access 

to trade finance for U.S. exporters. 

The TFAC shall develop 

recommendations on programs or 

activities that the Department of 

Commerce could incorporate as part of 

its export promotion and trade finance 

education efforts. 

The TFAC shall report to the 

Secretary on its activities and 

recommendations. In creating its 

reports, the TFAC shall: (1) Evaluate 

current credit conditions and specific 

financing challenges faced by U.S. 

exporters, including SMEs, and their 

foreign buyers, (2) identify emerging 

financing sources that would address 

these gaps, (3) examine how new 

financial technologies and other 

innovations could impact the 

availability and affordability of trade 

finance solutions, (4) highlight 

developments from international 

standard setting bodies that may affect

address any other noteworthy issues

range of companies and organizations in 

terms of products and services, 

company size, and geographic location 

of both the source and destination of

with applicable Department of 

Commerce guidelines and in a manner 

that ensures that the TFAC is balanced 

in terms of points of view. 

Members, with the exception of those 

that serve as experts from academia and 

public policy organizations, serve in a 

representative capacity and representing 

their own views and interests and those 

of their particular sector, not as special

they wish to represent. Each member 

shall be appointed for a term of two 

years and will serve 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 TFAC and his/her 

knowledge and advice is still needed. 

In addition, the Chairman of the U.S. 

Export Import Bank (EXIM), and the 

Administrator of the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) (or their 

respective designees), will serve on the 

TFAC as ex officio, non-voting, 

members. 

The members term of service will not 

exceed the duration of this charter and 

they may be reselected for additional 

periods should the charter be renewed 

and should they remain on the TFAC. 

III. Compensation 

Members will not be paid for their 

engagement in the performance of their 

duties as members of the Council. 

Members will not receive per diem and 

travel expenses. 

IV. Nomination 

The Department of Commerce will 

consider nominations of all qualified 

individuals to ensure that the TFAC 

includes representatives of the 

viewpoint areas of subject matter 

expertise noted above (see ’’Structure, 

Membership and Operation’’).

or a company, institution, trade 

association, or organization may

membership on the TFAC.
