SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 29, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain activated carbon from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') covering the period, April 1, 2008 March 
31, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 25711 (May 29, 2009) (``Initiation''). On 
June 18, 2009, Calgon Carbon Corporation and Norit Americas Inc. 
(collectively known as, ``Petitioners'') withdrew their request for a 
review of 155 companies, and on July 2, 2009, the Department published 
a notice of partial rescission of the antidumping duty order on certain 
activated carbon for those companies. See Certain Activated Carbon from 
the People's Republic of China: Notice of Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 31690 (July 2, 2009).
    On August 19, 2009, respondent Calgon Carbon Tianjin Co., Ltd. 
(``CCT'') withdrew its request for review. On August 21, 2009, 
Petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review for CCT 
and the following additional 12 companies: Datong Forward Activated 
Carbon Co., Ltd.; Datong Guanghua Activated Co., Ltd.; Datong 
Locomotive Coal & Chemicals Co., Ltd.; Huairen Jinbei Chemicals Co., 
Ltd.; Jilin Province Bright Future Industry and Commerce Co., Ltd.; 
Nuclear Ningxia Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Pingluo Yu Yang Activated 
Carbon Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Xuanzhong 
Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.; Tiangjin Maijin Industries Co., Ltd.; 
Xi'an Shuntong

[[Page 47559]]

International Trade & Industries Co., Ltd.; and Xingtai Coal Chemical 
Co., Ltd. With the exception of CCT, which withdrew its request for 
review, as noted above, Petitioners were the only party to request a 
review of these companies.

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. CCT and 
Petitioners' requests were submitted within the 90-day period, and thus 
are timely. Because CCT and Petitioners' withdrawal of requests for 
review are timely and because there is no longer a review request for 
the above-mentioned companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 
we are rescinding this review with respect to the above listed 
companies.

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
those companies for which this review has been rescinded and which have 
a separate rate, antidumping duties shall be assessed 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)(2). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of 
this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
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 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 Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 8, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
