Foundry Coke Products From the People's Republic of China: 
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: May 31, 2012.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission 
(``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty order on foundry coke 
products from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') would likely 
lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to 
an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice 
of continuation of the antidumping duty order.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ricardo Martinez Rivera, AD/CVD 
Operations, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4532.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On December 1, 2011, the Department 
published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of the 
antidumping duty order on foundry coke products from the PRC, pursuant 
to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act'').\1\ 
As a result of its sunset review, the Department determined that 
revocation of the antidumping duty order on foundry coke from the PRC 
would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, 
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to 
prevail should the order be revoked.\2\ On May 29, 2012, the ITC 
determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of 
the antidumping duty order on foundry coke from the PRC would likely 
lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry 
in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable future.\3\

Scope of the Order

    The product covered under the antidumping duty order is coke larger 
than 100 mm (4 inches) in maximum diameter and at least 50 percent of 
which is retained on a 100-mm (4 inch) sieve, of a kind used in 
foundries. The foundry coke products subject to the antidumping duty 
order were classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.10 (as of January 
1, 2000) and are currently classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.11 
(as of July 1, 2000) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope 
of the order is dispositive.

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of these determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the 
Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping 
order on foundry coke products from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty cash deposits at 
the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject 
merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of the order will 
be the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of 
continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 
intends to initiate the next five-year review of the order not later 
than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation.
    This five-year sunset review and this notice are in accordance with 
section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1) 
of the Act.

    Dated: June 4, 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
