Amendment to the Final Determination
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended, (‘‘the Act’’), on March 2,
2007, the Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) published its final
determination of sales at less than fair
value (‘‘LTFV’’). See Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Certain Activated Carbon
from the People’s Republic of China, 72
FR 9508 (March 2, 2007) (Final
Determination).
On March 5, 2007, NORIT Americas,
Inc., and Calgon Carbon Corporation
(collectively ‘‘Petitioners’’) filed timely
allegations that the Department made
various ministerial errors in the Final
Determination and requested, pursuant
to19 CFR 351.224(c), that the
Department correct the alleged
ministerial errors in the calculation of
the margins for respondents. Also, on
March 5, 2007, both Jacobi Carbons AB
(‘‘Jacobi’’) and Calgon Carbon (Tianjin)
Co., Ltd. (‘‘CCT’’), respondents in this
investigation, filed timely allegations
that the Department made ministerial
errors and also requested that the
Department correct these errors. Also,
on March 5, 2007, Jilin Province Bright
Future Chemicals Co. Ltd. (‘‘JBF
Chemical’’) and its affiliated company
Jilin Province Bright Future Industry &
Commerce Co. Ltd. (‘‘JBF Industry’’)
(collectively ‘‘Jilin Bright Future’’)
requested clarification of the producer
for the rate applied to the producerexporter combination Shanxi DMD
Corporation/Tonghua Xinpeng
Activated Carbon Factory.
A ministerial error is defined as an
error in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Department considers
ministerial. See Section 735(e) of the
Act; see also 19 CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing all interested party
comments and rebuttals, we have
determined, in accordance with section
735 (e) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e), that we made ministerial
errors in our calculations performed for
the final determination with respect to
Jacobi and CCT. For a detailed
discussion of these ministerial errors, as
well as the Department’s analysis, see
Memorandum to James C. Doyle from
Catherine Bertrand and Anya Naschak:
Antidumping Duty Investigation of
Certain Activated Carbon from the
People’s Republic of China: Analysis of
Ministerial Error Allegations
(‘‘Ministerial Error Memo’’).
Additionally, in the Final
Determination, we determined that
several companies qualified for a
separate rate. The separate rate was the
weighted average of the margins for
Jacobi and CCT, the mandatory
respondents which received a
calculated margin. Because the rates of
Jacobi and CCT have changed since the
Final Determination, we have
recalculated the separate rate. The
separate rate is now 67.14 percent. See
Ministerial Error Memo at Attachment
VI.
Therefore, in accordance with section
735(e) of the Act, we are amending the
final determination of sales at LTFV in
the antidumping duty investigation of
certain activated carbon from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). For
the revisions to the calculations for all
companies, see Ministerial Error Memo.
The revised final dumping margins,
some of which did not change, are as
follows:

Pineapple Fruit from Thailand, 71 FR
59430 (October 10, 2006). The period of
review for both companies is July 1,
2005 through June 30, 2006.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and
section 351.213(h)(1) of the
Department’s regulations require the
Department to issue the preliminary
results of a review within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the order or suspension agreement for
which the administrative review was
requested, and final results of the
review within 120 days after the date on
which the notice of the preliminary
results is published in the Federal
Register. However, if the Department
determines that it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
aforementioned specified time limits,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and
section 351.213(h)(2) of the
Department’s regulations allow the
Department to extend the 245–day
period to 365 days and to extend the
120–day period to 180 days.
Due to the initiation of a cost
investigation for Trofco, together with
the need for further analysis of Vita’s
questionnaire response, the Department
finds that it is not practicable to
complete the preliminary results of this
review within the original time limit.
Therefore, the Department is extending
the deadline for completion of the
preliminary results of this
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on canned
pineapple fruit from Thailand by 120
days from April 2, 2007 until no later
than July 31, 2007.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

final determination in the above–

subsidies received by Pidilite Industries,

charges and brokerage fees in movement
costs. In Goldlink Industries Co., Ltd.,

Amendment to the Final Determination
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, (``the Act''), on March 2, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (``the Department'') published its final determination of
sales at less than fair value (``LTFV''). See Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Activated Carbon from the
People's Republic of China, 72 FR 9508 (March 2, 2007) (Final
Determination).
On March 5, 2007, NORIT Americas, Inc., and Calgon Carbon
Corporation (collectively ``Petitioners'') filed timely allegations
that the Department made various ministerial errors in the Final
Determination and requested, pursuant to19 CFR 351.224(c), that the
Department correct the alleged ministerial errors in the calculation of
the margins for respondents. Also, on March 5, 2007, both Jacobi
Carbons AB (``Jacobi'') and Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.
(``CCT''), respondents in this investigation, filed timely allegations
that the Department made ministerial errors and also requested that the
Department correct these errors. Also, on March 5, 2007, Jilin Province
Bright Future Chemicals Co. Ltd. (``JBF Chemical'') and its affiliated
company Jilin Province Bright Future Industry & Commerce Co. Ltd.
(``JBF Industry'') (collectively ``Jilin Bright Future'') requested
clarification of the producer for the rate applied to the producer-
exporter combination Shanxi DMD Corporation/Tonghua Xinpeng Activated
Carbon Factory.
A ministerial error is defined as an error in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error which the Department considers
ministerial. See Section 735(e) of the Act; see also 19 CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing all interested party comments and rebuttals, we
have determined, in accordance with section 735 (e) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.224(e), that we made ministerial errors in our calculations
performed for the final determination with respect to Jacobi and CCT.
For a detailed discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the
Department's analysis, see Memorandum to James C. Doyle from Catherine
Bertrand and Anya Naschak: Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain
Activated Carbon from the People's Republic of China: Analysis of
Ministerial Error Allegations (``Ministerial Error Memo'').
Additionally, in the Final Determination, we determined that several
companies qualified for a separate rate. The separate rate was the
weighted average of the margins for Jacobi and CCT, the mandatory
respondents which received a calculated margin. Because the rates of
Jacobi and CCT have changed since the Final Determination, we have
recalculated the separate rate. The separate rate is now 67.14 percent.
See Ministerial Error Memo at Attachment VI.
Therefore, in accordance with section 735(e) of the Act, we are
amending the final determination of sales at LTFV in the antidumping
duty investigation of certain activated carbon from the People's
Republic of China (``PRC''). For the revisions to the calculations for
all companies, see Ministerial Error Memo. The revised final dumping
margins, some of which did not change, are as follows:
