Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2012–2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published its 

Preliminary Results of the sixth 

antidumping duty administrative review 

on certain activated carbon from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) on 

May 22, 2014,1 in which we gave 

interested parties an opportunity to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. 

Based upon our analysis of the 

comments received, we made changes to 

the margin calculations for these final 

results of the antidumping duty 

administrative review. The final 

weighted-average dumping margins are 

listed below in the ‘‘Final Results of the 

Review’’ section of this notice. The 

period of review (‘‘POR’’) is April 1, 

2012, through March 31, 2013. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 25, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department published the 

Preliminary Results on May 22, 2014.2

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(1)(ii), we invited parties to 

comment on our Preliminary Results.3

On June 19, 2014, the Department fully 

extended the time limit for completion 

of the final results of this administrative 

review.4 The Department extended the 

deadlines for submission of case and 

rebuttal briefs twice based on requests 

from interested parties.5 On July 3, 

2014, Albemarle,6 Calgon,7 Carbon 

Activated,8 Cherishmet,9 Huahui 10 and 

Jacobi 11 submitted case briefs.12 On July 

18, 2014, Petitioners 13 and Albemarle 

submitted rebuttal briefs.14 On July 29, 

2014, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.302(d), 

we rejected Jacobi’s case brief because it 

contained untimely new factual 

information, and instructed Jacobi to 

resubmit a redacted case brief, which it 

submitted on July 30, 2014. On 

September 24, 2014, the Department 

held a public hearing limited to issues 

raised in case and rebuttal briefs. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is certain activated carbon.15 The 

products are currently classifiable under 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheading 

3802.1000. Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of the order 

remains dispositive.16

the electronic version of the Issues & 

Decision Memo are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, we have made certain revisions 

to the margin calculations for Jacobi, 

Cherishmet, and the non-examined, 

separate rate respondents.17 Further, the 

Surrogate Values Memo 18 contains 

descriptions of our changes to the 

surrogate values. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department preliminarily determined 

that Sinocarbon International Trading 

Co., Ltd. (‘‘Sinocarbon’’) did not have 

any reviewable transactions during the 

POR. We have not received any 

information to contradict this 

determination. Therefore, the 

Department made the final 

determination that Sinocarbon did not 

have any reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR, and will 

issue appropriate instructions that are 

consistent with our ‘‘automatic 

assessment’’ clarification, for these final 

results. 

Separate Rate Respondents 

In our Preliminary Results, we 

determined that the following 

companies met the criteria for separate 

rate status: Jacobi; Cherishmet; Huahui; 

Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.; 

Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., 

Ltd.; Datong Municipal Yunguang 

Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Jilin Bright 

Future Chemicals Company, Ltd.; 

Ningxia Mineral and Chemical Limited; 

Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd.; 

Tianjin Channel Filters Co., Ltd.19 We 

have received no comments or argument 

since the issuance of the Preliminary 

Results that provides a basis for 

reconsideration of these determinations. 

Therefore, the Department continues to 

find that the companies listed above 

meet the criteria for a separate rate. 

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondents 

In the Preliminary Results,20 and 

consistent with the Department’s 

practice,21 we assigned the nonexamined, separate rate companies a 

rate calculated using the ranged total 

U.S. sales quantities from the public 

version of the submissions from the 

individually-examined respondents 

with weighted-average dumping 

margins that are not zero or de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent) 22 from the 

public versions of their submissions.23

No parties have commented on the 

methodology for calculating this 

separate rate. For the final results, we 

continue to find this approach to be 

consistent with the intent of section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act and our use of 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act as 

guidance when we establish the rate for 

separate rate respondents not examined 

individually in an administrative 

review.24

Because the calculated net U.S. sales 

values for the individually-examined 

respondents with weighted-average 

dumping margins that are not zero or de 

minimis are business-proprietary 

figures, we find that $0.04 U.S. Dollars/ 

kilogram (‘‘USD/kg’’), which we 

calculated using the publicly available 

figures of U.S. sales quantities for these 

firms, is the best reasonable proxy for 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

based on the calculated U.S. sales 

quantities of these respondents.25

PRC-Wide Entity 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department determined that those 

companies that did not demonstrate 

eligibility for a separate rate are 

properly considered part of the PRCwide entity.26 Since the Preliminary 

Results, we received no comments 

regarding these findings. Therefore, we 

continue to treat these entities as part of 

the PRC-wide entity. 

Rate for the PRC-Wide Entity 

The Department used the rate of 2.42 

USD/kg in the most recent completed 

administrative review of this 

antidumping order for the PRC-wide 

entity.27 Because nothing on the record 

of the instant review calls into question 

the reliability of this rate, we find it 

appropriate to continue to apply the rate 

of 2.42 USD/kg to the PRC-wide entity 

for these final results.28

Final Results of the Review 

The weighted-average dumping 

margins for this POR are as follows:

29 In the second administrative review of the 

Order, the Department determined that it would 

calculate per-unit assessment and cash deposit 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). 30 In the third administrative review, the 

Department found Jacobi, Tianjin Jacobi 

International Trading Co. Ltd., and Jacobi Carbons 

Industry (Tianjin) are a single entity and, because 

there were no changes to the facts which supported 

that decision, we continued to find these companies 

part of a single entity in the fourth and fifth 

administrative reviews. Because there have been no 

changes to the facts that supported that decision in 

the present review, we are continuing to treat the 

companies as a single entity in this review. See

Rescission of Third Antidumping Duty

(November 9, 2012); AR5 Carbon, 78 FR at 70535

31 In the first administrative review, the 

Department found Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon 

Products Co., Ltd., Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet 

Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., and Ningxia Guanghua 

Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. are a single entity and, 

because there were no changes to the facts which 

supported that decision, we continued to find these 

companies to be part of a single entity in 

subsequent reviews. Because there have been no 

changes to the facts that supported that decision in 

the present review, we are continuing to treat the 

companies as a single entity in this review. See

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), the 

Department has determined, and U.S 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the publication date of these final 

results of this review. In accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are 

calculating importer- (or customer-) 

specific assessment rates for the 

merchandise subject to this review. As 

the Department stated in the most recent 

administrative review,33 we will 

continue to direct CBP to assess 

importer-specific assessment rates based 

on the resulting per-unit (i.e., perkilogram) rates by the weight in 

kilograms of each entry of the subject 

merchandise during the POR. 

Specifically, we calculated importerspecific duty assessment rates on a perunit rate basis by dividing the total 

amount of dumping for each importer 

by the total sales quantity of subject 

merchandise sold to that importer 

during the POR. For any individually 

examined respondent whose weightedaverage dumping margin is above de 

minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the 

Department 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 entered value of 

sales.34 We will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review when the 

importer-specific assessment rate is 

above de minimis. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The Department announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement 

in practice, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales databases 

submitted by companies individually 

examined during this review, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the NME-wide 

rate. In addition, if the Department 

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 rate) will 

be liquidated at the NME-wide rate.35

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from the PRC 

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 Jacobi, 

Cherishmet and the non-examined, 

separate rate respondents, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to their 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is zero or de 

minimis, then no cash deposit will be 

required; (2) for previously investigated 

or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

not listed above that have separate rates, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters 

of subject merchandise that have not 

been found to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin for the PRC-wide entity 

established in the final results of this 

review; and (4) for all non-PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC exporters that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also 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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Department’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties has occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties.
