Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic of China; 2013-2014; Partial Rescission of the Seventh Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On May 29, 2014, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain activated carbon from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') based on multiple timely requests for an administrative review. The review covers 190 companies. Based on a withdrawal of the requests for review of certain companies from Calgon Carbon Corporation and Cabot Norit Americas Inc. (``Petitioners''), we are now rescinding this administrative review with respect to 165 companies.
DATES: Effective Date: September 16, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emeka Chukwudebe, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-
0219.
Background
In April 2013, the Department received multiple timely requests to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain activated carbon from the PRC (``the Order'').\1\ Based upon these requests, on May 29, 2014, the Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the Order covering the period April 1, 2013, to March 31, 2014.\2\ The Department initiated the administrative review with respect to 190 companies.\3\ On August 27, 2014, Petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review on 166 companies.\4\ Of the 166 companies, Petitioners also withdrew their request for review of Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (``Calgon''). However, because Calgon also requested an administrative review of itself in the current segment, it remains part of this review.\5\

\4\ See Letter to the Department from Petitioners, Re: 7th Administrative Review of Certain Activated Carbon from the People's Republic of China: Petitioners' Withdrawal of Certain Requests for Administrative Review, dated August 27, 2014.
\5\ See Letter from Calgon, dated April 25, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary 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 notice of initiation of the requested review. Petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review on the 165 companies listed in the Appendix.\6\ Petitioners were the only party to request a review of these companies. Accordingly, we are rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these entities, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ As stated in Change in Practice in NME Reviews, the Department will no longer consider the non-market economy (``NME'') entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews. 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 213 (November 4, 2013) (``Change in Practice in NME Reviews'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers for whom this review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 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 review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751 and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: September 10, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
