[A-570-904]
Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value: Certain Activated Carbon From the People's Republic of China
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Bertrand or Anya Naschak,
AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
3207 or 482-6375, respectively.
Amendment to the Final Determination
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, (``the Act''), on March 2, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (``the Department'') published its final determination of
sales at less than fair value (``LTFV''). See Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Activated Carbon from the
People's Republic of China, 72 FR 9508 (March 2, 2007) (Final
Determination).
On March 5, 2007, NORIT Americas, Inc., and Calgon Carbon
Corporation (collectively ``Petitioners'') filed timely allegations
that the Department made various ministerial errors in the Final
Determination and requested, pursuant to19 CFR 351.224(c), that the
Department correct the alleged ministerial errors in the calculation of
the margins for respondents. Also, on March 5, 2007, both Jacobi
Carbons AB (``Jacobi'') and Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.
(``CCT''), respondents in this investigation, filed timely allegations
that the Department made ministerial errors and also requested that the
Department correct these errors. Also, on March 5, 2007, Jilin Province
Bright Future Chemicals Co. Ltd. (``JBF Chemical'') and its affiliated
company Jilin Province Bright Future Industry & Commerce Co. Ltd.
(``JBF Industry'') (collectively ``Jilin Bright Future'') requested
clarification of the producer for the rate applied to the producer-
exporter combination Shanxi DMD Corporation/Tonghua Xinpeng Activated
Carbon Factory.
A ministerial error is defined 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 Department considers
ministerial. See Section 735(e) of the Act; see also 19 CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing all interested party comments and rebuttals, we
have determined, in accordance with section 735 (e) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.224(e), that we made ministerial errors in our calculations
performed for the final determination with respect to Jacobi and CCT.
For a detailed discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the
Department's analysis, see Memorandum to James C. Doyle from Catherine
Bertrand and Anya Naschak: Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain
Activated Carbon from the People's Republic of China: Analysis of
Ministerial Error Allegations (``Ministerial Error Memo'').
Additionally, in the Final Determination, we determined that several
companies qualified for a separate rate. The separate rate was the
weighted average of the margins for Jacobi and CCT, the mandatory
respondents which received a calculated margin. Because the rates of
Jacobi and CCT have changed since the Final Determination, we have
recalculated the separate rate. The separate rate is now 67.14 percent.
See Ministerial Error Memo at Attachment VI.
Therefore, in accordance with section 735(e) of the Act, we are
amending the final determination of sales at LTFV in the antidumping
duty investigation of certain activated carbon from the People's
Republic of China (``PRC''). For the revisions to the calculations for
all companies, see Ministerial Error Memo. The revised final dumping
margins, some of which did not change, are as follows:
