[[Page 57059]]

Inc. (``Petitioners'') withdrew their request for review of these 
companies and were the only parties to request review of the 
aforementioned 57 companies. See Certain Activated Carbon From the 
People's Republic of China: Notice of Partial Rescission of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review in Part, 73 FR 42550 (July 22, 2008).
    September 16, 2008, Petitioners withdrew their request for an 
administrative review for the following 19 companies: Datong Forward 
Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Datong Hongtai Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; 
Datong Huibao Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Datong Juqiang Activated 
Carbon Co., Ltd.; Datong Locomotive Coal & Chemicals Co., Ltd.; Datong 
Yunguang Chemicals Plant; Huairen Jinbei Chemical Co., Ltd.; Ningxia 
Guanghua A/C Co., Ltd.; Nuclear Ningxia Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; 
Panshan Import and Export Corporation; Pingluo Yu Yang Activated Carbon 
Co., Ltd.; Shanxi DMD Corporation; Shanxi Industry Technology Trading 
Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Newtime Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., 
Ltd.; Shanxi Xinhua Chemical Co., Ltd.; United Manufacturing 
International (Beijing) Ltd.; Xingtai Coal Chemical Co., Ltd.; Zuoyan 
Bright Future Activated Carbon Plant. 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, and the 
Secretary may extend this time limit if it is reasonable to do so. The 
deadline to withdraw administrative review requests made by the 
original requesting parties was September 2, 2008. On August 29, 2008, 
Petitioners requested that the Department extend this deadline. On 
August 29, 2008, the Department granted a three day extension to 
September 5, 2008. See Letter to All Interested Parties (August 29, 
2008). On September 4, 2008, Petitioners requested an additional 
extension to the September 5, 2008 deadline. On September 4, 2008, the 
Department granted an 11-day extension to September 16, 2008. See 
Letter to All Interested Parties (September 4, 2008). On September 16, 
2008, Petitioners requested withdrawal of their requests for 
administrative review of the 19 companies listed above. Because 
Petitioners' withdrawal of requests for review is timely and because no 
other party requested a review of the aforementioned 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 25, 2008.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
