Results of the Expedited Third Sunset 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset 

review, the Department of Commerce 

(the Department) finds that revocation 

of the antidumping duty order on 

foundry coke products (foundry coke) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(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 July 31, 2001, the Department 

published its final determination in the 

less-than-fair value investigation of 

foundry coke from the PRC.1 On 

September 17, 2001, the Department 

published an amended final 

determination of sales at less-than-fairvalue and the AD Order on foundry coke 

from the PRC.2 On May 1, 2017, the 

Department published the notice of 

initiation of the third sunset review of 

the AD Order, pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(Act).3 On May 10, 2017, the 

Department received a notice of intent 

to participate from: ABC Coke, Erie 

Coke, and Tonawanda Coke 

(collectively, the petitioners) within the 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i).4 ABC Coke, Erie Coke, 

and Tonawanda Coke claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act, as producers in the 

United States of a domestic like 

product. On May 31, 2017, the 

Department received a complete and 

adequate substantive response from the 

the petitioners within the 30-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).5 The Department 

received no substantive responses from 

respondent interested parties. As a 

result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department 

conducted an expedited sunset review 

of the AD Order. 

Scope of the AD 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.6

Analysis of Comments Received 

A complete discussion of all issues 

raised in this sunset review, including 

the likelihood of continuation or 

recurrence of dumping in the event of 

revocation of the AD Order and the 

magnitude of the margins likely to 

prevail if the order were revoked, is 

provided in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, which is hereby adopted 

by this notice.7 The appendix to this 

notice includes a list of the issues which 

the parties raised and to which the 

Department responded in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Services System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov and to all parties in the 

Central Records Unit, room B0824 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed on the 

Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(1) and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, the 

Department determines that revocation 

of the AD Order would be likely to lead 

to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping, and that the magnitude of the 

dumping margins likely to prevail 

would be weighted-average dumping 

margins up to 214.89 percent. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in

Timely notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Petition 

On August 9, 2017, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) received an antidumping 

duty (AD) Petition concerning imports 

of certain uncoated groundwood paper 

(UGW paper) from Canada, filed in 

proper form on behalf of North Pacific 

Paper Company (NORPAC, the 

petitioner).1 The AD Petition was 

accompanied by a countervailing duty 

(CVD) Petition concerning imports of 

UGW paper from Canada. The petitioner 

is a domestic producer of UGW paper.2

On August 11, 2017, the Department 

requested supplemental information 

pertaining to certain areas of the 

Petition.3 The petitioner filed responses 

to these requests on August 15, 2017.4

On August 17, 2017, the Department 

contacted the petitioner regarding the 

proposed scope of the investigations.5

The petitioner filed revised scope 

language on August 21, 2017.6 As 

discussed below, on August 10, 2017, 

the Department issued polling 

questionnaires to all known U.S. 

producers of UGW paper. The 

Department received responses from all 

recipients of the polling questionnaires. 

In accordance with section 732(b) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), the petitioner alleges that imports 

of UGW paper from Canada are being, 

or are likely to be, sold in the United 

States at less than fair value (LTFV) 

within the meaning of section 731 of the 

Act, and that such imports are 

materially injuring, or threatening 

material injury to, the domestic industry 

producing UGW paper in the United 

States. Also, consistent with section 

732(b)(1) of the Act, the Petition is 

accompanied by information reasonably 

available to the petitioner supporting its 

allegations. 

The Department finds that the 

petitioner filed this Petition on behalf of 

the domestic industry because the 

petitioner is an interested party as 

defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act. 

The Department also finds that the 

petitioner demonstrated sufficient 

industry support with respect to the 

initiation of the AD investigation that 

the petitioner is requesting.7

Period of Investigation 

Because the Petition was filed on 

August 9, 2017, the period of 

investigation (POI) for this investigation 

is July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is UGW paper from 

Canada. For a full description of the 

scope of this investigation, see the 

‘‘Scope of the Investigation,’’ in the 

Appendix to this notice. 

Comments on Scope of the Investigation 

During our review of the Petition, the 

Department issued questions to, and 

received responses from, the petitioner 

pertaining to the proposed scope to 

ensure that the scope language in the 

Petition would be an accurate reflection 

of the products for which the domestic 

industry is seeking relief.8

As discussed in the preamble to the 

Department’s regulations, we are setting 

aside a period for interested parties to 

raise issues regarding product coverage 

(scope).9 The Department will consider 

all comments received from interested 

parties and, if necessary, will consult 

with interested parties prior to the 

issuance of the preliminary 

determinations. If scope comments 

include factual information,10 all such 

factual information should be limited to 

public information. To facilitate 

preparation of its questionnaires, the 

Department requests all interested 

parties to submit such comments by 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Monday, 

September 18, 2017, which is 20 

calendar days from the signature date of 

this notice. Any rebuttal comments, 

which may include factual information, 

must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on 

Thursday, September 28, 2017, which is 

10 calendar days from the initial 

comments deadline.11

The Department requests that any 

factual information the parties consider 

relevant to the scope of the investigation 

be submitted during this time period.
