 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
 SUMMARY: On May 5, 2017 the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of the 9th administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain activated carbon from the People's Republic of China (PRC). We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the preliminary results. Based on 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, 2015, through March 31, 2016. The two mandatory respondents in this administrative review are Jacobi Carbons AB (Jacobi) and Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co. Ltd. (Datong Juqiang).
 DATES: Applicable November 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Background The Department published the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     [1]
                    
                     on May 5, 2017. For events subsequent to the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     see the Department's Issues and Decision 
                    ( print page 51608)
                    Memorandum.[2]
                    
                     On July 24, 2017,[3]
                    
                     in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act), the Department extended the deadline for issuing the final results by 60 days until November 1, 2017. Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the 
                    *Order*
                     [4]
                    
                     is certain activated carbon. 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.[5] Analysis of Comments Received In the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we addressed all issues raised in parties' case and rebuttal briefs. In Appendix I to this notice, we provided a list of the issues raised by parties. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file in the Central Records Unit (CRU), Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building, as well as electronically 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*
                     and it is available to all parties in the CRU. In addition, parties can directly access a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum on the internet at 
                    *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​index.html.*
                     The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Verification Pursuant to section 782(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.307(b)(iv), from May 9-23, 2017, we conducted verification of the questionnaire responses of Datong Juqiang and Jacobi.[6] Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding our 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we made certain revisions to the margin calculations for Jacobi, Datong Juqiang, and the non-examined, separate rate respondents.[7]
                    
                     Further, the Issues and Decision Memorandum contains descriptions of these revisions.[8] Final Determination of No Shipments In the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     the Department preliminarily determined that Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Sinoacarbon International Trading Co., Ltd., and Shanxi Dapu International Trade Co., Ltd. had no shipments during the period of review (POR).[9]
                    
                     We received no information to contradict this determination. Therefore, the Department continues to determine that Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Sinoacarbon International Trading Co., Ltd., and Shanxi Dapu International Trade Co., Ltd. had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, and will issue appropriate liquidation instructions that are consistent with our “automatic assessment” clarification, for these final results.[10] Separate Rate Respondents In our 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we determined that Jacobi, Datong Juqiang, and 13 other companies demonstrated their eligibility for separate rates.[11]
                    
                     We have received no comments or argument since the issuance of the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     that provides a basis for reconsideration of these determinations. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that the 13 companies listed in the table in the “Final Results” section of this notice are eligible for a separate rate. Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents The statute and the Department's regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be assigned to respondents not selected for individual examination when the Department limits its examination of companies subject to the administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act. Generally, the Department looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents not individually examined in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act articulates a preference for not calculating an all-others rate using rates which are zero, 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or based entirely on facts available.[12]
                    
                     Accordingly, the Department's usual practice has been to determine the dumping margin for companies not individually examined by averaging the weighted-average dumping margins for the individually examined respondents, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.[13] In the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*[14]
                    
                     the Department calculated rates for Datong Juqiang and Jacobi that were not zero, 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or based entirely on facts 
                    ( print page 51609)
                    available. However, for these final results, the calculated rate for Datong Juqiang is zero, and the calculated rate for Jacobi continues to be above 
                    *de minimis.*
                     Therefore, the Department has assigned to the companies that have not been individually examined, but have demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate, Jacobi's calculated rate for these final results. Final Results of the Review For companies subject to this review, which established their eligibility for a separate rate, the Department determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the POR from April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2016: Exporter

 In
                    
                     the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     the Department found that 186 companies for which a review was requested did not establish eligibility for a separate rate because they did not file a separate rate application or a separate rate certification, as appropriate. No interested party commented on the Department's preliminary determination with respect to these 186 companies. Therefore, for these final results we determine these companies, listed in Appendix II of this notice, to be part of the PRC-wide entity. Because no party requested a review of the PRC-wide entity, and the Department no longer considers the PRC-wide entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews,[17]
                    
                     we did not conduct a review of the PRC-wide entity. Thus, the weighted-average dumping margin for the PRC-wide entity (
                    *i.e.,*
                     2.42 USD/kg) [18]
                    
                     is not subject to change as a result of this review. Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 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 review. For each individually-examined respondent in this review which has a final weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer- (or customer-) specific per-unit duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's (or customer's) examined sales to the total sales quantity associated with those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).[19]
                    
                     The Department will also calculate (estimated) 
                    *ad valorem*
                     importer-specific assessment rates with which to assess whether the per-unit assessment rates are 
                    *de minimis.*
                     Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or an importer- (or cus-tomer-) specific assessment rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.[20] For the respondents which were not selected for individual examination in this administrative review and which qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the rate assigned to them for the final results (
                    *i.e.*
                     the 0.22 USD/kg rate for Jacobi). For the companies identified in Appendix II as part of the PRC-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to apply a per-unit assessment rate of 2.42 USD/kg to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced or exported by those companies. Pursuant to a refinement in the Department's non-market economy practice, for sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by companies individually examined during this review, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate entries associated with those sales at the rate for the PRC-wide entity. Furthermore, where the Department found 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 PRC-wide entity.[21] Cash Deposit Requirements The following per-unit 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, Datong Juqiang, 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; (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 in which they were reviewed; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, 
                    ( print page 51610)
                    the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin for the PRC-wide entity (
                    *i.e.,*
                     2.42 USD/kg); and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These per-unit 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. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative review and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: November 1, 2017. Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
