DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') has received
requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with May anniversary dates. In
accordance with the Department's regulations, we are initiating those
administrative reviews. The Department also received requests to revoke
one antidumping duty order and one countervailing duty order in part.
DATES: Effective Date: June 30, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD
Operations, Customs Unit, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
4697.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with May anniversary dates. The
Department also received requests to revoke in part the antidumping
duty order on Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from Japan for two
exporters and the countervailing duty order on Stainless Steel Plate in
Coils from Belgium for one exporter.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind a review
where there are no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the respective period of review (``POR'') listed below. If a
producer or exporter named in this initiation notice had no exports,
sales, or entries during the POR, it must notify the Department within
60 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The
Department will consider rescinding the review only if the producer or
exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely statement
certifying that it had no exports, sales, or entries of subject
merchandise during the POR. All submissions must be made in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.303 and
[[Page 37760]]
are subject to verification in accordance with section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). Six copies of the
submission should be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, International Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20230. Further, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy of each request must be served on every party
on the Department's service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews, the Department
intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') data for U.S. imports during the POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (``APO'') to
all parties having an APO within five days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent
selection within 20 days of publication of this Federal Register
notice. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection within 10 calendar days of publication of this
Federal Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries,
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to
an administrative review in an NME country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to
be entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from
government control of its export activities to be entitled to a
separate rate, the Department analyzes each entity exporting the
subject merchandise under a test arising from the Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic
of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994). In
accordance with the separate-rates criteria, the Department assigns
separate rates to companies in NME cases only if respondents can
demonstrate the absence of both de jure and de facto government control
over export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate-rate
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must
complete, as appropriate, either a separate-rate application or
certification, as described below. For these administrative reviews, in
order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they
participated, to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for
obtaining a separate rate. The Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department's Web site at http://www.trade.gov/ia on
the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In responding
to the certification, please follow the ``Instructions for Filing the
Certification'' in the Separate Rate Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department no later than 60 calendar days
after publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Certification applies equally to NME-owned
firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and
export subject merchandise to the United States.
Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a
completed segment of the proceeding \1\ should timely file a Separate
Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a
completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made
changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure,
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their
official company name,\2\ should timely file a Separate Rate
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. The Separate Rate Application will be available on the
Department's Web site at http://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register notice. In responding to the
Separate Rate Application, refer to the instructions contained in the
application. Separate Rate Applications are due to the Department no
later than 60 calendar days of publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate
Application applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned
firms, and foreign sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise
to the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceeding (e.g., an
ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently complete
segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
\2\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a
Separate Rate Certification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For exporters and producers who submit a separate-rate status
application or certification and subsequently are selected as mandatory
respondents, these exporters and producers will no longer be eligible
for separate rate status unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory respondents.
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings. We intend to issue the final results of these
reviews not later than May 31, 2011.

Suspension Agreements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ If one of the above-named companies does not qualify for a
separate rate, all other exporters of Citric Acid and Certain
Citrate Salts from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') who have
not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this
review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters
are a part.
\4\ If the above-named company does not qualify for a separate
rate, all other exporters of Pure Magnesium from the PRC who have
not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this
review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters
are a part.
\5\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a
separate rate, all other exporters of Certain Activated Carbon from
the PRC who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be
covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the
named exporters are a part.
\6\ Petitioners, Calgon Carbon Corporation and Norit Americans
Inc., also requested a review of ten additional companies, but were
unable to provide addresses for these companies. The Department
finds that Petitioners did not demonstrate that they made a
reasonable attempt to serve these companies with the request for
review as required by 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii), nor did they explain
satisfactorily why they desire a review of these companies, as
required by 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1). Therefore, we are not initiating a
review with respect to the following companies: Actview Carbon
Technology Co., Ltd.; Alashan Yongtai Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.;
Beijing Huapeng Environment Protection Materials; Huaxin Active
Carbon Plant; Jilin Goodwill Activated Carbon Plant; Kaihua Xinghua
Chemical Plant; Xinyuan Carbon; Yinyuan Carbon; YunGuan Chemical
Factory; andYuanguang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.
\7\ We intend to issue the final results of these reviews not
later than April 30, 2011. These five companies are in addition to
the companies initiated upon on May 28, 2010. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 75 FR
29976, at footnote 5 (May 28, 2010). Petitioners provided addresses
for these five companies in their submission dated May 24, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
None.
During any administrative review covering all or part of a period
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an antidumping duty order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a
determination under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or
suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if
requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine,
consistent with FAG Italia v. United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir.
2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by
an exporter or producer subject to the review if the subject
merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer that is
affiliated with such exporter or producer. The request must include the
name(s) of the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no
assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption during the relevant provisional-measures ``gap'' period, of
the order, if such a gap period is applicable to the POR.
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On
January 22, 2008, the Department published Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Documents Submission Procedures; APO
Procedures (73 FR 3634). Those procedures apply to administrative
reviews included in this notice of initiation. Parties wishing to
participate in any of these administrative reviews should ensure that
they meet the requirements of these procedures (e.g., the filing of
separate letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)).
These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section
751(a) of the
[[Page 37765]]
Act (19 USC 1675(a)), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: June 24, 2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
