Small diameter graphite electrodes and
graphite pin joining systems for small
diameter graphite electrodes that are
subject to the order are currently
classified under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 8545.11.0010, 3801.10, and
8545.11.0020. While the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive. A full description
of the scope of the order is contained in
the Final Results Issues and Decision
Memorandum.5
Ministerial Errors
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.224(f) define a ‘‘ministerial error’’ as
an error ‘‘in addition, subtraction, or
other arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial.’’ We analyzed the
allegations submitted by the petitioners
and the Fangda Group, and determined,
in accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we
made ministerial errors in calculating
the margin for the Fangda Group.6
In accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are
amending the Final Results.7 The
revised weighted-average dumping
margins are detailed below.
Amended Final Results of Review

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
amended final results of this review. For
entries of subject merchandise during
the period of review produced by
Fushun Jinly, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties
because Fushun Jinly’s weightedaverage dumping margin in these
amended final results remains de
minimis.10 For customers or importers
of the Fangda Group for which we do
not have entered values, we will
calculate customer- (or importer-)
specific per unit duty assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the customer’s
(or importer’s) examined sales of subject
merchandise to the total sales quantity
associated with those sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
For certain customers or importers of
the Fangda Group for which we
received entered-value information, we
will calculate an antidumping duty
assessment rate based on customer- or
importer-specific ad valorem rates in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
For Xuzhou Jianglong, the assessment
rate is equal to the weighted average
dumping margin calculated for the
Fangda Group, or 0.69 percent. For
entries that were not reported in the
U.S. sales databases submitted by
companies individually examined
during this review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate of 159.64 percent.11
We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these amended
final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective
9 We assigned Xuzhou Jianglong Carbon Products
Co., Ltd. (Xuzhou Jianglong), a company that was
not individually examined and is eligible for a
separate rate, the weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for the Fangda Group (i.e., 0.69 percent).

be that for the PRC-wide entity, which
is 159.64 percent; (5) for all non-PRC

Notification to Importers
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
during this POR. 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 Order
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 in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is

Ministerial Errors
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and
19 CFR 351.224(f) define a ``ministerial error'' as an error ``in
addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any
other similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers
ministerial.'' We analyzed the allegations submitted by the petitioners
and the Fangda Group, and determined, in accordance with section 751(h)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made ministerial errors in
calculating the margin for the Fangda Group.\6\

Assistant Secretary Christian Marsh entitled, ``Small Diameter
Graphite Electrodes From the People's Republic of China: Ministerial
Error Allegations,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by,
this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
we are amending the Final Results.\7\ The revised weighted-average
dumping margins are detailed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amended Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the period February 1, 2014, through January 31, 2015:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margin
weighted
average
Company dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fangda Group................................................ 0.69
Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd.\8\.............. 0.00
Xuzhou Jianglong Carbon Products Co., Ltd.\9\............... 0.69
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ This rate has not changed in these amended final results.
See Petitioners' Ministerial Error Allegations.
\9\ We assigned Xuzhou Jianglong Carbon Products Co., Ltd.
(Xuzhou Jianglong), a company that was not individually examined and
is eligible for a separate rate, the weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for the Fangda Group (i.e., 0.69 percent). See also Final
Issues and Decision Memorandum at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the
amended final results of this review. For entries of subject
merchandise during the period of review produced by Fushun Jinly, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties because Fushun Jinly's weighted-average dumping
margin in these amended final results remains de minimis.\10\ For
customers or importers of the Fangda Group for which we do not have
entered values, we will calculate customer- (or importer-) specific per
unit duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the customer's (or importer's) examined sales of
subject merchandise to the total sales quantity associated with those
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For certain customers
or importers of the Fangda Group for which we received entered-value
information, we will calculate an antidumping duty assessment rate
based on customer- or importer-specific ad valorem rates in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For Xuzhou Jianglong, the assessment rate is
equal to the weighted average dumping margin calculated for the Fangda
Group, or 0.69 percent. For entries that were not reported in the U.S.
sales databases submitted by companies individually examined during
this review, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries
at the PRC-wide rate of 159.64 percent.\11\

We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these amended final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective
[[Page 71482]]
retroactively on any entries made on or after September 9, 2016, the
date of publication of the Final Results, for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) No cash
deposit will be required for subject merchandise exported by Fushun
Jinly; (2) for subject merchandise exported by the Fangda Group and
Xuzhou Jianglong, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the ``Amended Final Results of Review'' section; (3) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate;
(4) 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
that for the PRC-wide entity, which is 159.64 percent; (5) 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
exporter that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these amended
final results to interested parties within five days after the public
announcement of the amended final results in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Notification to Importers
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 during this POR. 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 Order
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 in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable
violation.
These amended final results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(h) and 19 CFR 351.224(e) of the Act.
Dated: October 11, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
