Final Partial Rescission
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department preliminarily rescinded the
review with respect to 12 companies.15
These companies reported that they had
no shipments of subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR. As we
stated in the Preliminary Results, our
examination of shipment data from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
confirmed that there were no entries of
subject merchandise made by these
companies during the POR.16
Subsequent to the Preliminary Results,
the Department did not receive any
comments or information which
indicated that these twelve companies
made sales of subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR.
Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding the
administrative review with respect to
these 12 companies.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we have made certain revisions
to the margin calculations for Stanley
and Hongli. For the reasons explained
in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 1, we have
now selected Thailand as the primary
surrogate country.17 18

revoked by the administering authority.
The Department has not revoked the
PRC’s status as an NME and,
accordingly, applied the NME
methodology.
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, we
determined that nineteen companies. 19
including Stanley and Hongli, met the
criteria for separate rate status.20 We
have not received any information since
the issuance of the Preliminary Results
that provides a basis for reconsideration
of these determinations. Therefore, the
Department continues to find that the
companies listed above meet the criteria
for a separate rate.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
In the Preliminary Results, and
consistent with the Department’s
practice,21 we assigned the separate-rate
companies a rate calculated for the
mandatory respondents whose rates
were not zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available.22 For the
final results, we continue to find this
approach to be consistent with the
intent of section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act
and our use of section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act as guidance when we establish
the rate for respondents not examined
individually in an administrative
review.
PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity
For the PRC-Wide Entity, the
Department used the PRC-wide rate of
118.04 percent from the most recently
completed administrative review of this

antidumping order.23 Because this rate
is the same as the PRC-Wide rate from
previous reviews in this proceeding and
nothing on the record of the instant
review calls into question the reliability
of the PRC-Wide rate, we find it
appropriate to continue to apply the
PRC-Wide rate of 118.04 percent.24
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department determined that those
companies which did not demonstrate
eligibility for a separate rate are
properly considered part of the PRCWide Entity. Since the Preliminary
Results, none of the companies which
did not file separate-rate applications or
certifications submitted comments
regarding these findings. Therefore, we
continue to treat these entities as part of
the PRC-Wide Entity. The following
companies did not apply for separate
rates and are thus considered to be part
of the PRC-Wide Entity:

Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and
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 this review. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are
calculating importer- (or customer-)
specific assessment rates for the
merchandise subject to this review. In
these preliminary results, the
Department applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Final
Modification for Reviews, i.e., on the
basis of monthly average-to-average
comparisons using only the transactions
associated with that importer with
offsets being provided for non-dumped
comparisons.26 Where the respondent
has reported reliable entered values, we
calculate importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem rates by aggregating
the dumping margins calculated for all

the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103

Reviews’’).

U.S. sales to each importer (or customer)
and dividing this amount by the total
entered value of the sales to each
importer (or customer). Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rate is greater than de minimis,
we will apply the assessment rate to the
entered value of the importers’/
customers’ entries during the POR,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where we do not have entered values
for all U.S. sales to a particular
importer/customer, we calculate a perunit assessment rate by aggregating the
antidumping duties due for all U.S.
sales to that importer (or customer) and
dividing this amount by the total
quantity sold to that importer (or
customer).27 To determine whether the
duty assessment rates are de minimis, in
accordance with the requirement set
forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
calculated importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem ratios based on the
estimated entered value. Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate

appropriate entries without regard to

For the companies receiving a
separate rate that were not selected for
individual review, we will assign an
assessment rate based on the rate we
calculated for the mandatory respondent
whose rate was not de minimis, as
discussed above. We intend to instruct
CBP to liquidate entries containing
subject merchandise exported by the
PRC-wide entity at the PRC-wide rate.
Finally, for those companies for which
this review has been rescinded, the
Department intends to assess
antidumping duties 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)(2).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
exporters listed above, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the
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 a separate rate, 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 118.04 percent;
and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. The deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Disclosure
We will 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)
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 doubled antidumping
duties.
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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, 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.

International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) and the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on certain activated carbon from
the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, the Department is publishing a
notice of continuation of the
antidumping duty order.
DATES: Effective Date: March 18, 2013.

Background
On March 1, 2012, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from the PRC, pursuant
to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’).1 As a
result of its review, the Department
determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from the PRC would
likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail should the
order be revoked.2 On March 1, 2013,
the ITC published its determination,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on certain activated carbon from
the PRC would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.3

Final Partial Rescission
In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded
the review with respect to 12 companies.\15\ These companies reported
that they had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States
during the POR. As we stated in the Preliminary Results, our
examination of shipment data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') confirmed that there were no entries of subject merchandise
made by these companies during the POR.\16\ Subsequent to the
Preliminary Results, the Department did not receive any comments or
information which indicated that these twelve companies made sales of
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Therefore,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding the administrative
review with respect to these 12 companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ These companies include: (1) Jining Huarong Hardware
Products Co., Ltd.; (2) Chiieh Yung Metal Ind. Corp.; (3) CYM
(Nanjing) Nail Manufacture Co., Ltd.; (4) Qidong Liang Chyuan Metal
Industry Co., Ltd.; (5) Certified Products International Inc.
(``CPI''); (6) Besco Machinery Industry (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.; (7)
China Staple Enterprise (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.; (8) Zhejiang Gem-Chun
Hardware Accessory Co., Ltd.; (9) PT Enterprise Inc.; (10) Shanxi
Yuci Broad Wire Products Co., Ltd.; (11) Hengshui Mingyao Hardware &
Mesh Products Co., Ltd. (``Hengshui Mingyao''); and, (12) Union
Enterprise (Kunshan) Co., Ltd, collectively ``No Shipment
Respondents.''
\16\ See Preliminary Results, 77 FR at 53846.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made
certain revisions to the margin calculations for Stanley and Hongli.
For the reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at
Comment 1, we have now selected Thailand as the primary surrogate
country.17 18

Final Results of the Third Administrative Review of Certain Steel

People's Republic of China: Surrogate Values for the Final
Results,'' (March 5, 2013) (``Surrogate Values Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-Market Economy Country
The PRC has been treated as a non-market economy (``NME'') in every
proceeding conducted by the Department. In accordance with section
771(18)(C)(i) of the Act, any determination that a foreign country is
an NME shall remain in effect until revoked by the administering
authority. The Department has not revoked the PRC's status as an NME
and, accordingly, applied the NME methodology.
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, we determined that nineteen companies.
\19\ including Stanley and Hongli, met the criteria for separate rate
status.\20\ We have not received any information since the issuance of
the Preliminary Results that provides a basis for reconsideration of
these determinations. Therefore, the Department continues to find that
the companies listed above meet the criteria for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ These companies include: Cana (Tianjin) Hardware Industrial
Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Huanghua
Jinhai Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Tianli Industries Co.,
Ltd.; Shanghai Jade Shuttle Hardware Tools Co., Ltd.; Shandong
Dinglong Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products
Co., Ltd.; Huanghua Xionghua Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Tianjin
Zonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co.,
Ltd.; Hebei Cangzhou New Century Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.; Zhaoqing
Harvest Nails Co., Ltd.; Mingguang Abundant Hardware Products Co.,
Ltd.; Nanjing Yuechang Hardware Co., Ltd.; S-Mart (Tianjin)
Technology Development Co. Ltd.; SDC International Australia Pty.,
Ltd.; Shanxi Hairui Trade Co., Ltd.; Guangdong Foreign Trade Import
& Export Corporation; and Qingdao D&L Group Ltd.
\20\ See Preliminary Results, 77 FR at 53845.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
In the Preliminary Results, and consistent with the Department's
practice,\21\ we assigned the separate-rate companies a rate calculated
for the mandatory respondents whose rates were not zero, de minimis, or
based entirely on facts available.\22\ For the final results, we
continue to find this approach to be consistent with the intent of
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act and our use of section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act as guidance when we establish the rate for respondents not
examined individually in an administrative review.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity
For the PRC-Wide Entity, the Department used the PRC-wide rate of
118.04 percent from the most recently completed administrative review
of this antidumping order.\23\ Because this rate is the same as the
PRC-Wide rate from previous reviews in this proceeding and nothing on
the record of the instant review calls into question the reliability of
the PRC-Wide rate, we find it appropriate to continue to apply the PRC-
Wide rate of 118.04 percent.\24\

China: Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of Second
Administrative Review, 77 FR 12556 (March 1, 2012).

Shrimp From the People's Republic of China: Final Results and

51940, 51942 (August 19, 2011) (where the Department used the PRC-
wide rate from the previous review).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that those
companies which did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate are
properly considered part of the PRC-Wide Entity. Since the Preliminary
Results, none of the companies which did not file separate-rate
applications or certifications submitted comments regarding these
findings. Therefore, we continue to treat these entities as part of the
PRC-Wide Entity. The following companies did not apply for separate
rates and are thus considered to be part of the PRC-Wide Entity:
(1) Aironware (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
(2) Beijing Hong Sheng Metal Products Co., Ltd.
(3) Beijing Hongsheng Metal Products Co., Ltd.
(4) Dagang Zhitong Metal Products Co., Ltd.
(5) Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd.
(6) Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\25\ Hebei, submitted an untimely no shipment certification that
the Department has rejected. Therefore, this company is considered
to be part of the PRC-Wide Entity. See Preliminary Results, 77 FR at
53846. See also letter to Hebei, ``Certain Steel Nails from the
People's Republic of China (``PRC''): Rejection of Untimely
Certification of No Shipments,'' dated July 16, 2012.

Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and 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 this review. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise subject to
this review. In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Final Modification for
Reviews, i.e., on the basis of monthly average-to-average comparisons
using only the transactions associated with that importer with offsets
being provided for non-dumped comparisons.\26\ Where the respondent has
reported reliable entered values, we calculate importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the dumping margins calculated
for all U.S. sales to each importer (or customer) and dividing this
amount by the total entered value of the sales to each importer (or
customer). Where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate
is greater than de minimis, we will apply the assessment rate to the
entered value of the importers'/customers' entries during the POR,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103 (February 14, 2012)
(``Final Modifications for Reviews'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where we do not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a
particular importer/customer, we calculate a per-unit assessment rate
by aggregating the antidumping duties due for all U.S. sales to that
importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total quantity
sold to that importer (or customer).\27\ To determine whether the duty
assessment rates are de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set
forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem ratios based on the estimated entered value. Where
an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\28\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies receiving a separate rate that were not selected
for individual review, we will assign an assessment rate based on the
rate we calculated for the mandatory respondent whose rate was not de
minimis, as discussed above. We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries containing subject merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity
at the PRC-wide rate. Finally, for those companies for which this
review has been rescinded, the Department intends to assess antidumping
duties 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)(2).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for
[[Page 16654]]
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters listed above,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the 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 a separate rate, 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 118.04 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be 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.
Disclosure
We will 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) 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 doubled antidumping duties.
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, 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 this administrative review and notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: March 5, 2013.
