**U.S. PRODUCERS' QUESTIONNAIRE**

**SMALL DIAMETER GRAPHITE ELECTRODES FROM CHINA**

**This questionnaire must be received by the Commission by no later than
November 5, 2008**

***See page 4 of the Instruction Booklet for filing instructions.***

The information called for in this questionnaire is for use by the
United States International Trade Commission in connection with its
antidumping investigation concerning small diameter graphite electrodes
from China (Inv. No. 731-TA-1143 (Final)). The information requested in
the questionnaire is requested under the authority of the Tariff Act of
1930, title VII. This report is mandatory and failure to reply as
directed can result in a subpoena or other order to compel the
submission of records or information in your possession (19 U.S.C. §
1333(a)).
