Order, see Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum 

for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review: Certain Activated Carbon 

from the People’s Republic of China; 2020–2021,’’ 

dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, 

this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 

5 In the third administrative review of the Order, 

Commerce found that Jacobi Carbons AB, Tianjin 

Jacobi International Trading Co. Ltd. (Tianjin 

Jacobi), and Jacobi Carbons Industry (Tianjin) 

(Jacobi Carbons) (collectively, Jacobi) 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 

Results and Partial Rescission of Third 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 

67142, 67145, n.25 (October 31, 2011); Further, in 

a changed circumstances review of the order, 

Commerce determined that Jacobi should be 

collapsed with its new wholly-owned Chinese 

affiliate, Jacobi Adsorbent Materials (JAM), and the 

single entity, inclusive of JAM, should be assigned 

the same antidumping (AD) cash deposit rate 

assigned to Jacobi for purposes of determining AD 

liability in this proceeding. See Certain Activated 

Carbon from the People’s Republic of China: Notice 

of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review, 86 FR 58874 (October 25, 

2021). Therefore, for these final results of this 

administrative review, we intend to assign the new 

Jacobi single entity, inclusive of JAM, the same AD 

rate as the rate assigned to Jacobi (i.e., the Chinawide rate (2.42 dollars per kilogram)) for purposes 

of cash deposit and assessment.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that Jilin Bright Future Chemicals Co., 

Ltd. (Jilin Bright), an exporter 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, 

2020, through March 31, 2021. Further, 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon 

Co., Ltd. (Datong Juqiang), an exporter 

of certain activated carbon from China, 

did not sell subject merchandise in the 

United States at prices below NV during 

the POR. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable May 6, 2022.

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 11, 

2021.1 On November 15, 2021, 

Commerce extended the preliminary 

results deadline until April 29, 2021.2

Scope of the Order 3

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.4

Continuation of Administrative Review 

for Jacobi 5

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

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. On 

August 26, 2021, Jacobi timely 

withdrew its request for review.6

However, because there is still an active 

review request for Jacobi,7 we are not 

rescinding this review with respect to 

Jacobi, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). 

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., Shanxi Dapu International Trade 

Co., Ltd, and Tianjin Channel Filters 

Co., Ltd., Commerce preliminarily 

determines that these companies had no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR. 

Jacobi submitted an untimely no 

shipment certification, which 

Commerce consequently rejected.8 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 three companies for 

which we have preliminarily found no 

shipments and issue appropriate 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of the review.9

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

Preliminary Results of the Review 

Commerce preliminarily finds that six 

companies for which a review was 


JSPEARS on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 88 / Friday, May 6, 2022 / Notices 27095 

10See Appendix II of this notice for a full list of 

the six companies. 11Because 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). 

12See Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

13 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). 

14 In a changed circumstances review of the 

Order, Commerce found that Ningxia Huahui 

Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. is the 

successor-in-interest to Ningxia Huahui Activated 

Carbon Co. Ltd. (Ningxia Huahui) and should be 

assigned the same AD cash deposit rate assigned to 

Ningxia Huahui for purposes of determining AD 

liability in this proceeding. See Certain Activated 

Carbon from the People’s Republic of China: Notice 

of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review, 86 FR 64184 (November 17, 

2021). Therefore, for the final results of this 

administrative review, we intend to assign the same 

AD rate to Ningxia Huahui Environmental 

Technology Co., Ltd. as the rate assigned to Ningxia 

Huahui for cash deposit and assessment purposes. 

15Two of the company names for which 

Commerce initiated this review are different name 

variations of the same company (i.e., Ningxia 

Mineral & Chemical Limited, and Ningxia Mineral 

& Chemical Ltd.), and therefore, were treated as the 

same company for purposes of this review. See 

Initiation Notice, 86 FR at 31289. 

16See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Temporary 

Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due 

to COVID–19, 85 FR 17006 (March 26, 2020) (‘‘To 

provide adequate time for release of case briefs via 

ACCESS, E&C intends to schedule the due date for 

all rebuttal briefs to be 7 days after case briefs are 

filed (while these modifications are in effect).’’).

requested, including Jacobi,10 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 six companies are 

part of the China-wide entity.11

For those companies that have 

established their eligibility for a 

separate rate,12 Commerce preliminarily 

determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the 

POR: 

Exporter 

Weightedaverage dumping 

margin 

(U.S. dollars 

per kilogram) 13

Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ..................................................................................................................................... 0.00 

Jilin Bright Future Chemicals Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................. 0.35 

Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................................................... 0.35 

Datong Municipal Yunguang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................ 0.35 

Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................ 0.35 

Ningxia Huahui Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (formerly Ningxia Huahui Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.) 14 ........................... 0.35 

Ningxia Mineral & Chemical Limited 15 ............................................................................................................................................ 0.35 

Shanxi Industry Technology Trading Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................................. 0.35 

Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................................................... 0.35 

Tancarb Activated Carbon Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................................................. 0.35 

In these preliminary results, of the 

two mandatory respondents, only Jilin 

Bright, has a calculated weightedaverage dumping margin which is not 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 

facts available. Therefore, in accordance 

with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we 

have preliminarily assigned Jilin 

Bright’s calculated rate as the separate 

rate for the respondents that were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review but qualified 

for a separate rate.

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce will determine, and CBP

22See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

23 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). 

24For 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 

from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary 

Results Calculation Memorandum for Jilin Bright,’’ 

both dated concurrently with this notice, and

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.22 Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 35 days 

after the publication date of the final 

results of this review in the Federal 

Register. If a timely summons is filed at 

the U.S. Court of International Trade, 

the assessment instructions will direct 

CBP not to liquidate relevant entries 

until the time for parties to file a request 

for a statutory injunction has expired 

(i.e., within 90 days of publication). 

For any individually examined 

respondent whose (estimated) ad 

valorem weighted-average 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 importer-specific 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).23 Commerce 

will also calculate (estimated) ad 

valorem importer-specific assessment 

rates with which to assess whether the 

per-unit assessment rate is de 

minimis.24 We will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review when the importer-specific 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 weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or an importer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis,25 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 six 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.26

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.27

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.28

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).
