    The merchandise covered by the scope of the Order is activated 
carbon. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, 
and because we received no comments from interested parties to the 
contrary, Commerce continues to find that Huahui Environmental is the 
successor-in-interest to Ningxia Huahui and should be assigned the same 
AD cash deposit rate assigned to Ningxia Huahui for purposes of 
determining AD liability in this proceeding.\5\ As a result of this 
determination and consistent with established practice, we find that 
Huahui Environmental should receive the cash deposit rate previously 
assigned to Ningxia Huahui in the most recently completed review of the 
Order. The cash deposit rate assigned to Ningxia Huahui in the most 
recently completed review was $0.65 per kilogram.\6\ Consequently, 
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend 
liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise exported by Huahui 
Environmental and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption 
on or after the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register 
at $0.65 per kilogram, which is the current AD cash deposit rate for 
Ningxia Huahui. This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
