China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review 
and Rescission of Review in Part; 2014-2015

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on small diameter 
graphite electrodes (graphite electrodes) from the People's Republic of 
China (PRC), covering the period February 1, 2014 through January 31, 
2015. The Department has preliminarily determined that during the 
period of review (POR), the Fangda Group \1\ and Fushun Jinly 
Petrochemical Co., Ltd. did not make sales of subject merchandise at 
less than normal value (NV). Interested parties are invited to comment 
on these preliminary results.

millimeters (16 inches) or less and graphite pin joining systems for 
small diameter graphite electrodes. Small diameter graphite electrodes 
and graphite pin joining systems for small diameter graphite electrodes 
that are subject to the order are currently classified under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 
8545.11.0010, 3801.10, and 8545.11.0020. While the HTSUS subheadings 
are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written 
description of the scope of the order is dispositive. A full 
description of the scope of the order is contained in the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to 
Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, 
``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes from the 
People's Republic of China'' dated concurrently with this notice 
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tolling of Deadline of Preliminary Results of Review

    As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department has exercised its 
discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to the recent 
closure of the Federal Government. All deadlines in this segment of the 
proceeding have been extended by four business days.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Memorandum to the Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting A/S 
for Enforcement & Compliance, regarding ``Tolling of Administrative 
Deadlines As a Result of the Government Closure During Snowstorm 
Jonas,'' dated January 27, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of the Administrative Review in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), based on timely withdrawal of the 
requests for review, we are rescinding this administrative review with 
respect to 189 companies named in the Initiation Notice.\4\ See 
Appendix II for a full list of these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 18202 (April 3, 2015) (Initiation 
Notice). See also Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 4 for more 
details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    The Department preliminarily determines that the Fangda Group, 
Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. (Fushun Jinly), and Xuzhou 
Jianglong Carbon Products Co., Ltd. (Xuzhou Jianglong) are eligible to 
receive separate rates in this review.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 5-6 for more details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rate for an Eligible Non-Selected Company

    Consistent with our practice, because we have calculated zero or de 
minimis weighted-average dumping margins for both companies selected as 
mandatory respondents, the Fangda Group and Fushun Jinly, we assigned 
to an eligible non-selected company, Xuzhou Jianlong, the rate that we 
calculated for the Fangda Group in the 2012-2013 review as the separate 
rate for the preliminary results of this review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id., at 7-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRC-Wide Entity

    The Department's change in policy regarding conditional review of 
the PRC-wide entity applies to this review.\7\ Under this policy, the 
PRC-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically 
requests, or the Department

[[Page 12469]]

self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a 
review of the PRC-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under 
review, and the entity's rate of 159.64 percent is not subject to 
change.\8\ Aside from the separate rate companies discussed above, the 
Department is rescinding this review for all companies listed in the 
Initiation Notice and, as such, there are no remaining companies 
subject to the instant review that the Department considers to be part 
of the PRC-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

2013).

Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2013-2014, 80 FR 13825 (March 17, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For the 
two mandatory respondents, the Fangda Group and Fushun Jinly, export 
prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. 
Because the PRC is a non-market economy (NME) within the meaning of 
section 771(18) of the Act, normal value has been calculated in 
accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of 
the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public 
document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service 
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 
B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a 
complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be found at 
http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department has determined that the following preliminary 
dumping margins exist for the period February 1, 2014, through January

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure and Public Comment

    The Department intends to disclose calculations performed for these 
preliminary results to the parties within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case 
briefs no later than 30 days after the date of publication of these 
preliminary results of review.\9\ Parties who submit case briefs or 
rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each 
argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 
argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\10\ Rebuttal briefs, limited 
to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than five 
days after the cases briefs are filed.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
    \10\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2).

analysis of issues raised by parties in their comments, within 120 days 
after the publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), unless extended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuing the final results of review, the Department will 
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review.\13\ If a respondent's weighted-average 
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in the final 
results of this review, we will calculate an importer-specific 
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total 
entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 
Specifically, the Department will apply the assessment rate calculation 
method adopted in Final Modification for Reviews.\14\ Where an 
importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de 
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without 
regard to antidumping duties.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \14\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103 (February 14, 2012) 
(Final Modification for Reviews).
    \15\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For all companies for which the review is being rescinded, the 
antidumping duty shall be assessed at the rate equal to the cash 
deposit of the estimated antidumping duty required at the time of 
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2). We will instruct CBP accordingly.
    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases 
submitted by exporters individually examined during this review, the 
Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide 
rate. The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final 
results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject 
merchandise exported by the companies listed above that have separate 
rates, the cash deposit rate will be that established in the final 
results of review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero 
cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously investigated or 
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a 
separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for 
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the 
PRC-wide entity; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that 
non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary 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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.

    Dated: March 2, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
