Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 48724-48725 [E9-23058]

Download as PDF 48724 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 184 / Thursday, September 24, 2009 / Notices srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES employees of Hebei Foreign, and that Wang Kezheng, who certified the responses, is not employed by Hebei Foreign. Additionally, Petitioners express concerns that Hebei Foreign is being used by Weng Kezheng and his business partner, Jiang Hua, as a ‘‘front company’’ to export subject merchandise to the United States under Hebei Foreign’s separate rate.7 Scope of Changed Circumstances Review The merchandise subject to this order is certain activated carbon. Certain activated carbon is a powdered, granular, or pelletized carbon product obtained by ‘‘activating’’ with heat and steam various materials containing carbon, including but not limited to coal (including bituminous, lignite, and anthracite), wood, coconut shells, olive stones, and peat. The thermal and steam treatments remove organic materials and create an internal pore structure in the carbon material. The producer can also use carbon dioxide gas (CO2) in place of steam in this process. The vast majority of the internal porosity developed during the high temperature steam (or CO2 gas) activated process is a direct result of oxidation of a portion of the solid carbon atoms in the raw material, converting them into a gaseous form of carbon. The scope of this order covers all forms of activated carbon that are activated by steam or CO2, regardless of the raw material, grade, mixture, additives, further washing or post– activation chemical treatment (chemical or water washing, chemical impregnation or other treatment), or product form. Unless specifically excluded, the scope of this order covers all physical forms of certain activated carbon, including powdered activated carbon (‘‘PAC’’), granular activated carbon (‘‘GAC’’), and pelletized activated carbon. Excluded from the scope of the order are chemically activated carbons. The carbon–based raw material used in the chemical activation process is treated with a strong chemical agent, including but not limited to phosphoric acid, zinc chloride sulfuric acid or potassium hydroxide, that dehydrates molecules in the raw material, and results in the formation of water that is removed from the raw material by moderate heat treatment. The activated carbon created by chemical activation has internal porosity developed primarily due to the action of the chemical dehydration agent. Chemically activated carbons are typically used to activate raw materials 7 See id. VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:27 Sep 23, 2009 Jkt 217001 with a lignocellulosic component such as cellulose, including wood, sawdust, paper mill waste and peat. To the extent that an imported activated carbon product is a blend of steam and chemically activated carbons, products containing 50 percent or more steam (or CO2 gas) activated carbons are within this scope, and those containing more than 50 percent chemically activated carbons are outside this scope. This exclusion language regarding blended material applies only to mixtures of steam and chemically activated carbons. Also excluded from the scope are reactivated carbons. Reactivated carbons are previously used activated carbons that have had adsorbed materials removed from their pore structure after use through the application of heat, steam and/or chemicals. Also excluded from the scope is activated carbon cloth. Activated carbon cloth is a woven textile fabric made of or containing activated carbon fibers. It is used in masks and filters and clothing of various types where a woven format is required. Any activated carbon meeting the physical description of subject merchandise provided above that is not expressly excluded from the scope is included within this scope. The products subject to the order are currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheading 3802.10.00. Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive. would continue to do so as Hebei Foreign.9 Additionally, the Department notes that that Hebei Foreign’s submissions and questionnaire response were certified by Wang Kezheng as the manager of the No. 1 Business Department of Hebei Foreign.10 However, Hebei Foreign’s supplemental response clearly states that Wang Kezheng is not employed by Hebei Foreign. The Department is mindful of the concerns raised by Petitioners with regard to Hebei Foreign’s certifications. Accordingly, the Department reminds parties of their obligation pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(g) to certify factual information submitted to the Department. Accordingly, because there has been no change in Hebei Foreign’s operations from the period of investigation, and because this CCR was initiated based on information that was later determined to be false, and the certifications submitted by Hebei Foreign are questionable, we find that a rescission of this review is appropriate. Therefore, we are now rescinding this change circumstances review. This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 C.F.R. 351.216. Rescission of Changed Circumstances Review Based on information provided by Hebei Foreign in its original submission, the Department initiated a changed circumstance review. In its CCR request, Hebei Foreign stated that the complete transfer from Hebei Foreign to Hebei Shenglun was accomplished in November 2008. The Department determined that this constituted sufficient evidence to initiate this CCR to determine whether Hebei Shenglun is Hebei Foreign’s successor–in-interest.8 However, in its supplemental questionnaire response, Hebei Foreign clearly stated that it is still in operation, had recently shipped subject merchandise to the United States, and DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 8 See Letter from Hebei Foreign, to the Department, regarding Certain Activated Carbon from the People’s Republic of China; Request for Changed Circumstances Review (February 24, 2009) (≥Hebei Foreign’s CCR Request≥); see also Initiation.
