SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On September 17, 2001, Commerce published the antidumping duty order on foundry coke from China.1 On April 3, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the five-year sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On April 18, 2023, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from ABC Coke and SunCoke Energy, Inc. (collectively, domestic interested parties) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers of a domestic like product in the United States. On May 3, 2023, the domestic interested parties provided a complete substantive response for this review within the 30day deadline specified in 19 CFR 1 See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Foundry Coke Products from the People’s Republic of China, 66 FR 48025 (September 17, 2001) (Order). 2 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Review, 88 FR 19616 (April 3, 2023). 3 See Domestic Interested Parties’ Letter, ‘‘Notice of Intent to Participate in the Fourth Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order,’’ dated April 18, 2023.

On May 26, 2023, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.5 As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of this Order. Scope of the Order The product covered under the Order is coke larger than 100 mm (4 inches) in maximum diameter and at least 50 percent of which is retained on a 100 mm (4 inch) sieve, of a kind used in foundries. The foundry coke products subject to the Order were classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.10 (as of January 1, 2000) and are currently classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.11 (as of July 1, 2000) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and Customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the Order is dispositive.6 Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this review, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation of the Order and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the Order were revoked, are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.7 A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice.

SUMMARY: 52115 Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results, we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently, there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results. Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Where the respondent’s weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), then Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.5 Accordingly, because the final weighted-average dumping margin for KPB and LG Chem is zero percent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by either KPB or LG Chem for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 33.10 percent) 6 if there is no 4 See Preliminary Results PDM at 3–4.
