19 CFR 351.218(c)(2).\1\ On June 9, 2023, Commerce received a timely
notice of intent to participate from Calgon Carbon Corporation, Norit

domestic interested parties) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\2\ The domestic interested parties claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as manufacturers of a
domestic like product in the United States.

Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we
determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from China would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the dumping margin
likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to
228.11 percent.
