carbon bricks from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC). The period of

through December 31, 2014. We
preliminarily find no evidence of any
reviewable entries, shipments, or sales
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR by any of the
companies subject to this review, and
are therefore issuing a preliminary no
shipments determination.

carbon bricks. Certain chemicallybonded magnesia carbon bricks that are
the subject of this order are currently
classifiable under the following
subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS):
6902.10.1000, 6902.10.5000,
66815.91.0000, 6815.99.2000, and
6815.99.4000. The HTSUS subheadings

customs purposes. A full description of
the scope of the order is contained in
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum,
which is hereby adopted by this notice.1
The written description is dispositive.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum contains a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, and is a
public document on file electronically

Preliminary Determination of No

Based on information submitted after
the initiation of this administrative
review, and due to the fact that we have
not received any information from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
indicating that the companies subject to
this review had reviewable entries to the
United States during the POR,2 the
Department has preliminarily
determined that the record evidence
indicates that no company subject to

during the POR. As is our practice, the

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
countervailing 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 countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double countervailing
duties.
Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty
(CVD) Determination With Final
Antidumping Duty (AD) Determination
On the same day the Department
initiated this CVD investigation, the
Department also initiated CVD
investigations of CTL plate from Brazil
and the Republic of Korea (Korea) and
AD investigations of CTL plate from
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, the PRC,
South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey.1 The
CVD investigation covers the same
merchandise as the AD investigations of
CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, Brazil,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South
Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey.2
On August 25, 2016, in accordance
with section 705(a)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (Act), Petitioners 3
requested alignment of the final CVD
determination with the final AD
determination of CTL plate from the
PRC. Therefore, in accordance with
section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(4), we are aligning the final
CVD determination with the final AD
determination of CTL plate from
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and Taiwan.4
Consequently, we intend to issue the
final CVD determination on the same
date as the final AD determination,
We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of the final results of this
review.
