Background
The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published the
Preliminary Results 1 on March 4, 2016.
For events subsequent to the
Preliminary Results, see the
Department’s final Issues and Decision
Memorandum.2 On June 13, 2016,3 in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘Act’’), the Department extended the
deadline for issuing the final results by
60 days. The deadline for the final
results is August 31, 2016.
Verification
Pursuant to section 782(i) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’),
and 19 CFR 351.307(b)(iv), we
conducted verification of Jacobi’s U.S.
sales from March 29–30, 2016.4
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the
Order 5 is certain activated carbon. The
products are currently classifiable under
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheading
3802.1000. Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of the order
remains dispositive.6
Certain Activated Carbon From the
People’s Republic of China: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2014–2015
Analysis of Comments Received
In the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, we addressed all issues
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: For the final results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from the People’s
Republic of China, we find that sales
were made at less than normal value.
The period of review is April 1, 2014,
through March 31, 2015. Based upon
our analysis of the comments received,
we made changes to the margin
calculations for these final results of the
antidumping duty administrative
review. The final weighted-average
dumping margins are listed below in the
‘‘Final Results of the Review’’ section of
this notice.
DATES: Effective September 8, 2016.

content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we have made certain revisions
to the margin calculations for Jacobi,
Datong Juqiang, and the non-examined,
separate rate respondents.7 Further, the
Surrogate Values Memo 8 contains
descriptions of our changes to the
surrogate values.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department preliminarily determined
that Carbon Activated Tianjin Co. Ltd.
had no shipments during the period of
review (‘‘POR’’).9 We have received no
information to contradict this
determination. Therefore, the
Department continues to determine that
Carbon Activated Tianjin Co. Ltd. had
no shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR, and will issue
appropriate liquidation instructions that
are consistent with our ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ clarification, for these final
results.10

company-specific analysis memoranda for further
explanation regarding these changes.

Separate Rate Respondents
In our Preliminary Results, we
determined that the following
companies (including both mandatory
respondents) met the criteria for
separate rate status:
• Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon
Products Co., Ltd.11
• Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.;
• Datong Municipal Yunguang
Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.;
• Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon
Co., Ltd.;
• Jacobi Carbons AB; Jilin Bright
Future Chemicals Company, Ltd.;
• Ningxia Guanghua Activated
Carbon Co., Ltd. (‘‘Guanghua’’);
• Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet
Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.;
• Ningxia Huahui Activated Carbon
Co., Ltd.;
• Ningxia Mineral & Chemical
Limited;
• Shanxi Dapu International Trade
Co., Ltd.;
• Shanxi DMD Corporation;
• Shanxi Industry Technology
Trading Co., Ltd.;
• Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd.;
• Shanxi Tianxi Purification Filter
Co., Ltd.;
• Sinoacarbon International Trading
Co., Ltd.;
• Tancarb Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.;
• Tianjin Channel Filters Co., Ltd.;
and
• Tianjin Maijin Industries Co., Ltd.12
We have received no comments or
argument 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-Examined Separate Rate
Respondents
In the Preliminary Results,13 and
consistent with the Department’s
practice,14 we assigned the nonexamined, separate rate companies a
62089
rate equal to the weighted average of the
calculated weighted-average dumping
margins for the mandatory respondents
that are not zero, de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent) or based entirely on
facts available, weighted by the total
U.S. sales quantities from the public
version of the submissions from the
mandatory respondents.15 No parties
commented on the methodology for
calculating this separate rate. For the
final results, we continue to apply this
approach, as it is 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.16
Final Results of the Review
For companies subject to this review,
which established their eligibility for a
separate rate, the Department
determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
POR from April 1, 2014, through March
31, 2015:

Department found Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon
Products Co., Ltd., Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet
Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., and Guanghua are a
single entity and there is no information on the

Therefore, we continue to treat these companies as
a single entity. See Certain Activated Carbon From

administrative reviews,21 we did not
conduct a review of the PRC-wide
entity. Thus, the weighted-average
dumping margin for the PRC-wide
entity (i.e., 2.42 USD/kg) 22 is not subject
to change as a result of this review.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department has determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘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.
For any individually examined
respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above the de
minimis threshold (i.e., 0.50 percent),
the Department will calculate importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of sales. Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
As the Department stated in the most
recent administrative review,23 we will
continue to direct CBP to assess
importer-specific assessment rates 24
based on per-unit (i.e., per-kilogram)
rates. Specifically, we calculated
importer-specific, antidumping duty
assessment rates on a per-unit rate basis
by dividing the total amount of
dumping for each importer by the total
sales quantity of subject merchandise
sold to that importer during the POR.
Pursuant to a refinement in the
Department’s non-market economy
(‘‘NME’’) practice, for sales that were
not reported in the U.S. sales data
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries associated with those

sales at the rate for the PRC-wide entity.
In addition, if the Department
determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under that exporter’s case
number (i.e., at that exporter’s cash
deposit rate) will be liquidated at the
rate for the PRC-wide entity.25
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following per-unit cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise 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 Jacobi,
Datong, and the non-examined, separate
rate respondents, the cash deposit rate
will be equal to their weighted-average
dumping margins established in the
final results of this review; (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 recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin for
the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 2.42 USD/kg);
and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
per-unit cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Disclosure
We intend to 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

Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic of China:
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2014-2015
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: For the final results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain activated carbon from the People's
Republic of China, we find that sales were made at less than normal
value. The period of review is April 1, 2014, through March 31, 2015.
Based upon our analysis of the comments received, we made changes to
the margin calculations for these final results of the antidumping duty
administrative review. The final weighted-average dumping margins are
listed below in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section of this
notice.
DATES: Effective September 8, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob Palmer or Frances Veith, AD/CVD
Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade
Administration, Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-9068, or (202)
482-4295, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department of Commerce (``Department'') published the
Preliminary Results \1\ on March 4, 2016. For events subsequent to the
Preliminary Results, see the Department's final Issues and Decision
Memorandum.\2\ On June 13, 2016,\3\ in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), the
Department extended the deadline for issuing the final results by 60
days. The deadline for the final results is August 31, 2016.

Carbon from the People's Republic of China, 72 FR 20988 (April 27,
2007) (``Order'').
\6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum for a complete
description of the Scope of the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis of Comments Received
In the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we addressed all issues
raised in parties' case and rebuttal briefs. In Appendix I to this
notice, we have provided a list of the issues raised by parties. The
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file in
the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), Room B8024 of the main Department
of Commerce building, as well as electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (``ACCESS''). ACCESS is available to registered users at
https://access.trade.gov and it is available to all parties in the CRU.
In addition, parties can directly access a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum on the Internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made
certain revisions to the margin calculations for Jacobi, Datong
Juqiang, and the non-examined, separate rate respondents.\7\ Further,
the Surrogate Values Memo \8\ contains descriptions of our changes to
the surrogate values.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum and the company-specific
analysis memoranda for further explanation regarding these changes.
\8\ See Memorandum to the File, through Catherine Bertrand,
Program Manager, Office V, from Bob Palmer, Case Analyst, Office V,

(``PRC''): Surrogate Values for the Final Results,'' dated
concurrently with this notice (``Surrogate Values Memo'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily determined
that Carbon Activated Tianjin Co. Ltd. had no shipments during the
period of review (``POR'').\9\ We have received no information to
contradict this determination. Therefore, the Department continues to
determine that Carbon Activated Tianjin Co. Ltd. had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR, and will issue appropriate
liquidation instructions that are consistent with our ``automatic
assessment'' clarification, for these final results.\10\

[[Page 62089]]
Separate Rate Respondents
In our Preliminary Results, we determined that the following
companies (including both mandatory respondents) met the criteria for
separate rate status:
Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., Ltd.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ In the first administrative review, the Department found
Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., Ltd., Ningxia
Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., and Guanghua are a
single entity and there is no information on the record to indicate
the facts have changed. Therefore, we continue to treat these
companies as a single entity. See Certain Activated Carbon From the
People's Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Extension of Time Limits
for the Final Results, 74 FR 21317 (May 7, 2009), unchanged in First

Memorandum at 6-11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have received no comments or argument 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-Examined Separate Rate Respondents
In the Preliminary Results,\13\ and consistent with the
Department's practice,\14\ we assigned the non-examined, separate rate
companies a rate equal to the weighted average of the calculated
weighted-average dumping margins for the mandatory respondents that are
not zero, de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) or based entirely on
facts available, weighted by the total U.S. sales quantities from the
public version of the submissions from the mandatory respondents.\15\
No parties commented on the methodology for calculating this separate
rate. For the final results, we continue to apply this approach, as it
is 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.\16\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Review
For companies subject to this review, which established their
eligibility for a separate rate, the Department determines that the
following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the POR from April
1, 2014, through March 31, 2015:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average

Tianjin Maijin Industries Co., Ltd...................... 1.357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department finds that 181 companies for which a review was
[[Page 62090]]
requested did not establish eligibility for a separate rate because
they either failed to provide a timely response to a separate rate
application (``SRA''), to a supplemental questionnaire, or did not file
a SRA or a separate rate certification (``SRC'').\20\ As such, we
determine these companies, listed in Appendix II of this notice, to be
part of the PRC-wide entity. Because no party requested a review of the
PRC-wide entity and the Department no longer considers the PRC-wide
entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative
reviews,\21\ we did not conduct a review of the PRC-wide entity. Thus,
the weighted-average dumping margin for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 2.42
USD/kg) \22\ is not subject to change as a result of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ In the second administrative review of the Order, the
Department determined that it would calculate per-unit weighted-
average dumping margins and assessment rates for all future reviews.
See Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic of China:
Final Results and Partial Rescission of Second Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 75 FR 70208, 70211 (November 17, 2010).
\18\ In the third administrative review of the Order, the
Department found that Jacobi Carbons AB, Tianjin Jacobi
International Trading Co. Ltd., and Jacobi Carbons Industry
(Tianjin) are a single entity and, because there were no changes to
the facts which supported that decision since that determination was
made, we continue to find that these companies are part of a single
entity for this administrative review. See Certain Activated Carbon

\19\ In the first administrative review of the Order, the
Department found that Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co.,
Ltd., Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., and
Ningxia Guanghua Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. are a single entity and,
because there were no changes to the facts which supported that
decision since that determination, we continue to find that these
companies are part of a single entity for this administrative
review. See Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic of

\20\ Two companies, Beijing Embrace Technology Co. Ltd.
(``Beijing Embrace'') and Shanxi Carbon Industry Co., Ltd. (``Shanxi
Carbon''), did not establish eligibility for a separate rate because
Beijing Embrace and Shanxi Carbon failed to provide a timely
response to a separate rate application (``SRA'') or to a
supplemental questionnaire and 179 companies did not establish
eligibility for a separate rate because they did not provide the
Department with a response to a SRA or a separate rate certification
(``SRC''). See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 9.

2012-2013, 79 FR 70163, 70165 (November 25, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
the Department has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``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.
For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above the de minimis threshold (i.e., 0.50 percent),
the Department will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total entered
value of sales. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
As the Department stated in the most recent administrative
review,\23\ we will continue to direct CBP to assess importer-specific
assessment rates \24\ based on per-unit (i.e., per-kilogram) rates.
Specifically, we calculated importer-specific, antidumping duty
assessment rates on a per-unit rate basis by dividing the total amount
of dumping for each importer by the total sales quantity of subject
merchandise sold to that importer during the POR.

China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2013-2014, 80 FR 61172, 61175 (October 9, 2015).
\24\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to a refinement in the Department's non-market economy
(``NME'') practice, for sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales
data submitted by companies individually examined during this review,
the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate entries associated with
those sales at the rate for the PRC-wide entity. In addition, if the
Department determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of
the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that
exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's cash deposit rate)
will be liquidated at the rate for the PRC-wide entity.\25\

Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following per-unit cash deposit requirements will be effective
upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for
all shipments of the subject merchandise 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 Jacobi,
Datong, and the non-examined, separate rate respondents, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to their weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of this review; (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 recently completed
segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 2.42
USD/kg); and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied that non-
PRC exporter. These per-unit cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
Disclosure
We intend to 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)(2) 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
[[Page 62091]]
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding 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(a)(3), 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 these final results of administrative
review and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of
the Act.
Dated: August 31, 2016.
