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.

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\

Carbon From the People's Republic of China, 72 FR 20988 (April 27, 
2007) (``Order'').
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 79 FR 30809, 30816 (May 29, 2014).

    \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.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
