Foundry Coke Products From the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of Expedited Second Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On December 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') initiated the second five-year (``sunset'') review of 
the antidumping duty order on foundry coke products (``foundry coke'') 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''). On the basis of 
a notice of intent to participate, and an adequate substantive response 
filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties,\1\ as well as a 
lack of response from respondent interested parties, the Department 
conducted an expedited sunset review of the antidumping duty order, 
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1). 
As a result of the sunset review, the Department finds that revocation 
of the antidumping duty order on foundry coke from the PRC 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2011, the Department initiated the second sunset 
review of the antidumping duty order on foundry coke from the PRC,\2\ 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2). The 
Department received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic 
interested parties within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic interested parties claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of a 
domestic like product in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 76 FR 74775 
(December 1, 2011); see also Notice of Amended Final Determination 
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Foundry 
Coke Products from The People's Republic of China 66 FR 48025 
(September 17, 2001) (``Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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). We received no responses from respondent interested 
parties. As a result, the

Department conducted an expedited sunset review of the Order, pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1).

Scope of the Order

    The product covered under the antidumping duty order is coke larger 
than 100 mm (4 inches) in maximum diameter and at least 50 percent of 
which is retained on a 100 mm (4 inch) sieve, of a kind used in 
foundries. The foundry coke products subject to the antidumping duty 
order were classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.10 (as of Jan 1, 
2000) and are currently classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.11 (as 
of July 1, 2000) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and Customs purposes, our written description of the scope 
of the Order is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in this review are addressed in the ``Issues and 
Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Expedited Second 
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Foundry Coke from the 
People's Republic of China'' (``Decision Memorandum'') from Christian 
Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import 
Administration, dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this 
notice. The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum include (1) the 
likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude 
of the margins likely to prevail if the Order was to be revoked; and 
(2) the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail. 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 Import Administration's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Services System (``IA 
ACCESS''). Access to IA ACCESS is available in the Central Records Unit 
room 7046 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete 
version of the Decision Memorandum can be access directly on the Web at 
http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The signed Decision Memorandum and the 
electronic versions of the Decision Memorandum are identical in 
content.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that revocation of the Order would be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the following weighted-
average percentage margins:
