HOPE provides for duty-free
treatment for certain apparel articles
imported directly from Haiti. Section
213A (b)(1)(B) of HOPE outlines the
requirements for certain apparel articles
to qualify for duty-free treatment under
a ‘‘value-added’’ program. In order to
qualify for duty-free treatment, apparel
articles must be wholly assembled, or
knit-to-shape, in Haiti from any
combination of fabrics, fabric
components, components knit-to-shape,

and yarns, as long as the sum of the cost
or value of materials produced in Haiti
or one or more countries, as described
in HOPE, or any combination thereof,
plus the direct costs of processing
operations performed in Haiti or one or
more countries, as described in HOPE,
or any combination thereof, is not less
than an applicable percentage of the
declared customs value of such apparel
articles. For the period December 20,
2009 through December 19, 2010, the
applicable percentage is 55 percent.
For every twelve month period
following the effective date of HOPE,
duty-free treatment under the valueadded program is subject to a
quantitative limitation. HOPE provides
that the quantitative limitation will be
recalculated for each subsequent 12month period. Section 213A (b)(1)(C) of
HOPE, as amended by HOPE II, requires
that, for the twelve-month period
beginning on December 20, 2009, the
quantitative limitation for qualifying
apparel imported from Haiti under the
value-added program will be an amount
equivalent to 1.25 percent of the
aggregate square meter equivalent of all
apparel articles imported into the
United States in the most recent 12month period for which data are
available.
For purposes of this notice, the most
recent 12-month period for which data
are available as of December 20, 2009 is
the 12-month period ending on October
31, 2009. Therefore, for the one-year
period beginning on December 20, 2009
and extending through December 19,
2010, the quantity of imports eligible for
preferential treatment under the valueadded program is 284,904,116 square
meters equivalent. Apparel articles
entered in excess of these quantities will
be subject to otherwise applicable
tariffs.
These quantities are calculated using
the aggregate square meters equivalent
of all apparel articles imported into the
United States, derived from the set of
Harmonized System lines listed in the
Annex to the World Trade Organization
Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
(‘‘ATC’’), and the conversion factors for
units of measure into square meter
equivalents used by the United States in
implementing the ATC.

ADMENDMENT TO THE FINAL
RESULTS:
In accordance with sections 751(h)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended, (‘‘Act’’), on November 10,
2009, the Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published1 the final
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the
period October 11, 2006, through March

Activated Carbon from the People’s
Republic of China: Issues and Decisions
Memorandum for the Final Results,’’
dated November 10, 2009 (‘‘Decision
Memo’’). On November 17, 2009,
Petitioners5 filed timely rebuttal
comments with respect to certain
ministerial errors alleged by Cherishmet
and Hebei Foreign. No other party in
this proceeding submitted ministerial
error comments or rebuttals on the
Department’s Final Results.
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
type of unintentional error which the
{Secretary} considers ministerial.’’ See
section 751(h) 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
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
that we made certain ministerial errors
in the Final Results. With regard to
Jacobi, Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.
(‘‘CCT’’), and Cherishmet, we
transposed digits in the surrogate value
for bituminous coal used in valuing
coking coal. With regard to Cherishmet,
the Department made ministerial errors
pertaining to the calculation of
international freight and copying of
surrogate values. For a detailed
discussion of these ministerial errors, as
well as the Department’s analysis of
these errors and other allegations raised,
see Memorandum to James C. Doyle,
Director, Office 9, through Catherine
Bertrand, Program Manager, Office 9,
from Robert Palmer, Case Analyst,
Office 9: Certain Activated Carbon From
the People’s Republic of China:
Allegation of Ministerial Errors in the
Final Results of the First Administrative
Review, (December 3, 2009)
(‘‘Ministerial Error Memo’’).
Additionally, in the Final Results, we
determined that several companies
qualified for a separate rate. See Final
66953
Results, 74 FR at 57998. The separate
rate was based on the calculated
margins for CCT and Jacobi, the two
mandatory respondents in this review.
The margins for CCT and Jacobi
changed following the correction of the
ministerial errors and subsequent
revisions made to the Final Results.
Accordingly, the Department revised the
calculated all others rate for the
companies that qualified for a separate
rate. We note that the errors did not
affect the PRC–wide entity rate, and
thus that rate will not be revised.
Additionally, the margin for
Cherishmet, the voluntary respondent,
changed following the revisions made to
the Final Results.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(h) of the Act, we are amending the
Final Results in the antidumping duty
administrative review of certain
activated carbon from the PRC.
After correcting these ministerial
errors, the final weight–averaged
dumping margins results are as follows:

of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the LWS Order.
See Antidumping or Countervailing
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 74 FR 38397
(August 3, 2009).
The Department received a timely
request for an administrative review of
the LWS Order from Zibo Aifudi Plastic
Packaging Co., Ltd. (‘‘Zibo Aifudi’’) and
Changshu Xinsheng Bags Producing
Company, Ltd. (‘‘Changshu Xinsheng
Bags’’) on August 26, 2009 and August
31, 2009, respectively, in accordance
with section 751(a) of Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the ‘‘Act’’). On September
22, 2009, the Department published in
the Federal Register a notice of the
initiation of an administrative review of
the LWS Order. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 74 FR 48224
(September 22, 2009) (‘‘Initiation
Notice’’). The review was initiated with
respect to both companies and covers
the period from January 31, 2008,
through July 31, 2009. On November 6,
2009, Changshu Xinsheng Bags
submitted to the Department a timely

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review. Because Changshu Xinsheng
Bags withdrew its request for an
administrative review within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation, and no other interested party
requested a review of this company, the
Department is rescinding this review
with respect to Changshu Xinsheng
Bags, in accordance with 19 CFR

with respect to Zibo Aifudi which is
identified in the Initiation Notice.
during the review period. Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.402(f)(3), failure to comply
with this requirement could result in
the Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO as explained in
the administrative protective order
itself. Timely written notification of the
return/destruction of APO materials or

hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an

ADMENDMENT TO THE FINAL RESULTS:
In accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, (``Act''), on November 10, 2009, the Department of
Commerce (``Department'') published\1\ the final results of the
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') covering
the period October 11, 2006, through March 31, 2008. See First
Administrative Review of Certain Activated Carbon from the People's
Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 74 FR 57995 (November 10, 2009) (``Final Results'').

On November 12, 2009, Petitioner Norit Americas, voluntary
respondent Ningxia Guanghua Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.

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 type
of unintentional error which the {Secretary{time} considers
ministerial.'' See section 751(h) 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 751(h) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.224(e), that we made certain ministerial errors in the Final
Results. With regard to Jacobi, Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.
(``CCT''), and Cherishmet, we transposed digits in the surrogate value
for bituminous coal used in valuing coking coal. With regard to
Cherishmet, the Department made ministerial errors pertaining to the
calculation of international freight and copying of surrogate values.
For a detailed discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the
Department's analysis of these errors and other allegations raised, see
Memorandum to James C. Doyle, Director, Office 9, through Catherine
Bertrand, Program Manager, Office 9, from Robert Palmer, Case Analyst,
Office 9: Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic of China:
Allegation of Ministerial Errors in the Final Results of the First
Administrative Review, (December 3, 2009) (``Ministerial Error Memo'').
Additionally, in the Final Results, we determined that several
companies qualified for a separate rate. See Final Results, 74 FR at
57998. The separate rate was based on the calculated margins for CCT
and Jacobi, the two mandatory respondents in this review. The margins
for CCT and Jacobi changed following the correction of the ministerial
errors and subsequent revisions made to the Final Results. Accordingly,
the Department revised the calculated all others rate for the companies
that qualified for a separate rate. We note that the errors did not
affect the PRC-wide entity rate, and thus that rate will not be
revised. Additionally, the margin for Cherishmet, the voluntary
respondent, changed following the revisions made to the Final Results.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act, we are
amending the Final Results in the antidumping duty administrative
review of certain activated carbon from the PRC.
After correcting these ministerial errors, the final weight-
averaged dumping margins results are as follows:

appropriate entries based on the amended final results. For details on
the assessment of antidumping duties on all appropriate entries, see
Final Results. The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
the amended final results of the administrative review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit rates will be effective retroactively on any
entries made on or after November 10, 2009, the date of publication of
the Final Results, for all shipments of certain activated carbon 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 the exporters listed above, the cash deposit rate will be
established in these amended final results of review (except, if the
rate is zero or de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, a zero cash
deposit rate will be required for that company); (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 recent period; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 228.11 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of the
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be at the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. The deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice 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
[[Page 66954]]
during the review period. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3), failure to
comply with this requirement could result in the Department's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO as explained in the administrative protective order itself. Timely
written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 10, 2009.
Carole A. Showers,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
