SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 26, 2009, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on small
diameter graphite electrodes from
China.1 On February 1, 2018, Commerce
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on small
diameter graphite electrodes from China
for the period of review February 1,
2017, through January 31, 2018.2
On February 28, 2018, Tokai Carbon
GE LLC (the petitioner) 3 requested an
administrative review of the order for
192 producers and/or exporters of the
subject merchandise, including Fushun
Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd.4 In
addition, on February 28, 2018,
producer and exporter Fushun Jinly
Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd.
requested a review of itself.5 On April
16, 2018, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review of the order on
small diameter graphite electrodes from
China with respect to 193 companies.6
On May 4, 2018, the petitioner
withdrew its administrative review
request for 191 out of the 192 companies
for which it requested a review.7 See the

Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. In
this case, the petitioner timely withdrew
its review request, in part, by the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested
an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order for the
companies for which the petitioner
withdrew its review request. Therefore,
we are rescinding the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on small diameter graphite electrodes
from China for the period February 1,
2017, through January 31, 2018, with
respect to the 191 companies for which
all review requests were withdrawn.
The review will continue only with
respect to the remaining company
Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co.,
Ltd, aka Fushun Jinli Petrochemical
Carbon Co., Ltd.8
Assessment
Commerce 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this review is rescinded, antidumping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 on the subject
merchandise 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). Commerce intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could

from China, we found that Fushun Jinly
Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. is the same entity
as Fushun Jinli Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. See,

People’s Republic of China: Final Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR

this determination, and in the absence thus far of
contrary evidence, we are treating these companies

to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
On May 22, 2018, Commerce received
AD petitions concerning imports of steel
propane cylinders from China, Taiwan
and Thailand, filed on behalf of the
petitioners.1 On June 11, 2018,
Commerce initiated the LTFV
investigations of steel propane cylinders
from China, Taiwan and Thailand,
which were published in the Federal
Register on June 18, 2018.2 On June 14,
2018, the petitioners submitted a letter
withdrawing the AD petition with
respect to Taiwan.3 Section
351.207(b)(1) of Commerce’s regulations
stipulates that the Secretary may
terminate an investigation, provided it
has concluded that termination of the
investigation is in the public interest.4
Because the petitioners have withdrawn
their May 22, 2017, AD petition with
respect to Taiwan, and have requested
that Commerce terminate this
investigation, we determine that
termination of this investigation is in
the public interest, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.207(b)(1).5 Accordingly, pursuant to
section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.207(b)(1), we are terminating the
LTFV investigation with respect to

Background
On February 20, 2018, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) initiated lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of
imports of rubber bands from China, Sri
Lanka, and Thailand.1 On March 19,
2018, the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) notified Commerce of
its affirmative preliminary
determination with respect to China and
Thailand, its negligibility determination
concerning imports of rubber bands
from Sri Lanka, and its termination of
its investigation of imports from Sri
Lanka.2 On March 22, the ITC published
in the Federal Register a notice of its
preliminary determination with respect
to China and Thailand, and its
determination that imports of rubber
bands from Sri Lanka are negligible.3
Because the ITC has terminated its
investigation of rubber bands from Sri
Lanka, Commerce’s investigation is also
terminated.4 The preliminary
determinations for China and Thailand
