Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) 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 the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: June 21, 2021.

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd. 

(Carbon Activated) and Datong Juqiang 

Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. (Datong 

Juqiang), exporters of certain activated 

carbon from the People’s Republic of 

China (China), sold subject merchandise 

in the United States at prices below 

normal value (NV) during the period of 

review (POR) April 1, 2019, through 

March 31, 2020. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable June 28, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This administrative review is being 

conducted in accordance with section 

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

amended (the Act). Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of this 

administrative review on June 8, 2020.1

On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

preliminary and final deadlines in 

administrative reviews by 60 days.2 On 

January 15, 2021, Commerce extended 

the preliminary results deadline until 

April 30, 2021.3 On March 24, 2021, 

Commerce further extended the 

preliminary results deadline until June 

18, 2021.4

Scope of the Order 5

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is certain activated carbon. The 

products are currently classifiable under 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheading 

3802.10.00. Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of the Order 

remains dispositive.6

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) 

information, and the no shipment 

certifications submitted by Beijing 

Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., 

Ltd., Jilin Bright Future Chemicals Co., 

Ltd., Shanxi Dapu International Trade 

Co., Ltd., Shanxi Industry Technology 

Trading Co., Ltd., Shanxi Tianxi 

Purification Filter Co., Ltd., and Tianjin 

Channel Filters Co., Ltd., Commerce 

preliminarily determines that these 

companies had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. For 

additional information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Consistent with our practice in nonmarket economy (NME) cases, we are 

not rescinding this review but instead 

intend to complete the review with 

respect to these six companies for which 

we have preliminarily found no 

shipments and issue appropriate 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of the review.7

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Act. We calculated export prices 

and constructed export prices in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Because China is an NME country 

within the meaning of section 771(18) of 

the Act, NV has been calculated in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is included as 

Appendix I to this notice. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is made available 

to the public via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is available at 

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

8See Appendix II of this notice for a full list of 

the 61 companies. 

9Because no interested party requested a review 

of the China-wide entity and Commerce no longer 

considers the China-wide entity as an exporter 

conditionally subject to administrative reviews, we 

did not conduct a review of the China-wide entity. 

Thus, the rate for the China-wide entity is not 

subject to change as a result of this review. See 

Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of 

Change in Department Practice for Respondent 

Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and 

Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy 

Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 

FR 65963, 65969–70 (November 4, 2013). The 

China-wide entity rate of 2.42 U.S. dollars per 

kilogram was last reviewed in Certain Activated 

Carbon from the People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2012–2013, 79 FR 70163 (November 25, 

2014). 

10See Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

11 In the second administrative review of the 

Order, Commerce determined that it would 

calculate per-unit weighted-average dumping 

margins and assessment rates for all future reviews. 

See Certain Activated Carbon from the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results and Partial 

Rescission of Second Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 75 FR 70208, 70211 

(November 17, 2010). 

12 In the third administrative review of the Order, 

Commerce found that Jacobi Carbons AB, Tianjin 

Jacobi International Trading Co. Ltd., and Jacobi 

Carbons Industry (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. should be 

treated as a single entity, and because there were 

no facts presented on the record of this review 

which would call into question our prior finding, 

we continue to treat these companies as part of a 

single entity for this administrative review, 

pursuant to sections 771(33)(E), (F), and (G) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.401(f). See Certain Activated 

Carbon from the People’s Republic of China: Final

Preliminary Results of the Review 

Commerce preliminarily finds that 61 

companies for which a review was 

requested 8 did not establish eligibility 

for a separate rate because they failed to 

provide either a separate rate 

application or separate rate certification. 

As such, we preliminarily determine 

that these 61 companies are part of the 

China-wide entity.9

For those companies that have 

established their eligibility for a 

separate rate,10 Commerce preliminarily 

determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the 

POR: 

Exporter 

Weighted-average 

dumping margin 

(U.S. dollars 

per 

kilogram) 11

Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................. 1.13 

Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................... 0.45 

Datong Municipal Yunguang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd .......................................................................................................... 0.58 

Jacobi Carbons AB12 ................................................................................................................................................................ 0.58 

Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ...................................................................................................... 0.58 

Ningxia Huahui Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................... 0.58 

Ningxia Mineral & Chemical Limited ......................................................................................................................................... 0.58 

Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................. 0.58 

Tancarb Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ........................................................................................................................................... 0.58 

For the respondents that were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review but qualified 

for a separate rate, we have assigned to 

them the weighted-average margin 

calculated based on the publicly 

available ranged U.S. sales quantities of 

the mandatory respondents consistent 

with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.13

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these 

preliminary results to the parties no 

later than five days after the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Pursuant to 19

21 In these preliminary results, Commerce applied 

the assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 

Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 

(February 14, 2012). 

22For calculated (estimated) ad valorem 

importer-specific assessment rates used in 

determining whether the per-unit assessment rate is 

de minimis, see Memoranda, ‘‘Preliminary Results 

Margin Calculation for Datong Juqiang Activated 

Carbon Co., Ltd.,’’ and ‘‘Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review of Certain Activated Carbon

Outputs. 

23See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 

24See, e.g., Certain Activated Carbon from the 

People’s Republic of China: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012–

25See NME Practice, for a full discussion. 

26 Id. 

after the publication date of the final 

results of this review. For any 

individually examined respondent 

whose (estimated) ad valorem weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) 

in the final results of this review, 

Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales and the total quantity of those 

sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).21 Commerce will also 

calculate (estimated) ad valorem 

importer-specific assessment rates with 

which to assess whether the per-unit 

assessment rate is de minimis.22 We will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review when the importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate 

calculated in the final results of this 

review is not zero or de minimis. Where 

either the respondent’s ad valorem 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis,23 we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For the respondents that were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review but qualified 

for a separate rate, the assessment rate 

will be the margin established for these 

companies in the final results of this 

review. 

For the final results, if we continue to 

treat the 61 companies, identified at 

Appendix II to this notice, as part of the 

China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP 

to apply a per-unit assessment rate of 

$2.42 per kilogram to all entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

which were exported by those 

companies.24

For entries that were not reported in 

the U.S. sales data submitted by 

companies individually examined 

during this review, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the rate for the China-wide entity.25

Additionally, if Commerce determines 

that an exporter under review had no 

shipments of the subject merchandise, 

any suspended entries that entered 

under that exporter’s case number (i.e., 

at that exporter’s cash deposit rate) will 

be liquidated at the rate for the Chinawide entity.26

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties, as applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from China 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For each 

specific company listed in the final 

results of this review, the cash deposit 

rate will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review (except 

that if the ad valorem rate is de minimis, 

then the cash deposit rate will be zero); 

(2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 

exporters not listed above that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the existing exporterspecific cash deposit rate; (3) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate for the 

China-wide entity; and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own separate rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This administrative review and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, 19 CFR 351.213, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4).

I. Abstract 

As part of NIST’s charge for National 

Cybersecurity Awareness and Education 

outlined in the Cybersecurity 

Enhancement Act of 2014, the National 

Initiative for Cybersecurity Education 

(NICE) energizes and promotes a robust 

network and an ecosystem of 

cybersecurity education, training, and 

workforce development. NICE, led by 

NIST, fulfills this mission by 

coordinating with government, 

academic, and industry partners to 

build on existing successful programs, 

facilitate change and innovation, and 

bring leadership and vision to increase 

the number of skilled cybersecurity 

professionals helping to keep our Nation 

secure. 

Further, the NICE Strategic Plan 

emphasizes a goal to promote the 

discovery of cybersecurity careers and 

multiple pathways. In support of this 

goal, Cybersecurity Career Awareness 

Week aims to inspire, educate, and 

engage children through adults to 

pursue careers in cybersecurity. The 

annual week-long celebration provides 

for learning about the contributions, 

innovations, and opportunities that can 

be found by exploring cybersecurity as 

a field of study or career choice. The 

NICE community is encouraged to 

organize and participate in activities 

and initiatives during the week that: 

• Create excitement around 

increasing public awareness and 

engagement in building a strong 

cybersecurity workforce. 

• Emphasize the demand and 

opportunities in the field of 

cybersecurity. 

• Increase awareness around the 

multiple career options within the field 

of cybersecurity. 

• Highlight the numerous pathways 

to enter the cybersecurity career field. 

• Showcase programs that increase 

participation of women, minorities, 

veterans, persons with disabilities, and 

other underrepresented populations in 

the cybersecurity workforce.

objective to inspire cybersecurity career 

awareness. 

This collection is necessary to support 

the NICE Strategic Plan objective to 

inspire cybersecurity career awareness. 

The collection of information will allow 

the NICE Program Office to share with 

the public a compiled list of events and 

opportunities to learn about 

cybersecurity careers. Doing so will 

provide a resource for potential 

attendees, extend the reach of programs 

and efforts, serve as a source of metrics 

for outreach activities and impact, and 

encourage more stakeholders to get 

involved in National Cybersecurity 

Career Awareness Week. 

The information gathered in this 

collection will be populated into 

publicly accessible list on nist.gov/nice 

on an on-going basis. The public will 

access this list to learn about events 

held by the public to raise cybersecurity 

career awareness with the intention to 

increase the reach of and participation 

at such events. The list will also serve 

as a resource for those wishing to access 

information on cybersecurity careers.
