SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 1, 2010, the Department of 

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) published 

a notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review for the period of 

review covering June 1, 2009, through 

May 31, 2010 (‘‘POR’’). See Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation; 

Opportunity To Request Administrative 

Review, 75 FR 30383 (June 1, 2010). In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), 

Globe Metallurgical Inc. (‘‘Globe’’), a 

domestic producer of silicon metal, 

requested an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on silicon 

metal from the PRC with respect to the 

following companies: Jiangxi Gangyuan 

Silicon Industry Company Ltd. 

(‘‘Gangyuan’’); Shanghai Jinneng 

International Trade Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai 

Jinneng’’); and Zhejiang Kaihua 

Yuantong Silicon Industry Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Zhejiang’’).1 No other party requested 

a review. The Department published the 

initiation of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on silicon 

metal from the PRC on July 28, 2010, in 

which the Department initiated an 

administrative review of the 

aforementioned three companies 

covering the period June 1, 2009, 

through May 31, 2010. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocations in Part, 75 FR 44224 

(July 28, 2010). 

On August 18, 2010, Gangyuan and 

Shanghai Jinneng notified the 

Department that they had no entries, 

exports, or sales of the subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. On September 20, 2010, the 

Department issued a no shipments 

e-mail to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (‘‘CBP’’) requesting 

notification within 10 days of receipt of 

the e-mail if CBP had information 

contrary to the no shipments claims of 

Gangyuan and Shanghai Jinneng. Also, 

the Department conducted a CBP data 

query to ascertain whether there were 

entries of subject merchandise from 

Gangyuan or Shanghai Jinneng. See 

August 11, 2010, Memorandum from 

Analyst to File entitled ‘‘2009–2010 

Administrative Review of Silicon Metal 

from the People’s Republic of China, 

Placing CBP Data on the Record.’’ See 

also September 22, 2010, Memorandum 

from Abdelali Elouaradia, Office 

Director, Office 4, Import 

Administration to Michael Walsh, 

Director, AD/CVD/Revenue Policy & 

Programs, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection entitled ‘‘Request for U.S. 

Entry Documents—Silicon Metal from 

the People’s Republic of China A–570– 

806.’’ 

On January 11, 2011, Globe withdrew 

its request for review of Zhejiang. On 

February 15, 2011, the Department 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2011 / Notices 12339 

issued a memorandum of intent to 

rescind the antidumping administrative 

review with respect to Gangyuan and 

Shanghai Jinneng and provided parties 

with an opportunity to comment on the 

Department’s intent to rescind the 

review. See Silicon Metal From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Memorandum of Intent to Rescind 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, in Part, dated February 15, 

2010. No parties commented on the 

Department’s intent to rescind the 

review. 

Rescission of Review 

The Department may rescind an 

administrative review with respect to an 

exporter or producer if the Department 

concludes that there were no entries, 

exports, or sales of the subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). As 

noted above, Gangyuan and Shanghai 

Jinneng reported that they did not have 

any entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR. To test Gangyuan’s and 

Shanghai Jinneng’s claim, the 

Department examined the CBP 

documentation, and found that the 

record provides no information to 

contradict Gangyuan’s and Shanghai 

Jinneng’s claim of no sales or shipments 

to the United States during the POR. 

Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), since there were no 

entries, export or sales of the subject 

merchandise by Gangyuan and 

Shanghai Jinneng during the POR, the 

Department has determined to rescind 

this administrative review with respect 

to these two companies. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested the 

review withdraws its request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review. The Department may extend 

this time limit if it decides that it is 

reasonable to do so. As noted above, 

Globe withdrew its request for review of 

Zhejiang on January 11, 2011. While 

Globe withdrew its request for an 

administrative review after the 90-day 

deadline, the Department has 

determined that it is reasonable to 

extend the time for Globe to file a 

withdrawal of its request for a review of 

Zhejiang because the review is not at an 

advanced stage such that significant 

resources have been expended in 

conducting the review. Accordingly, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

we are also rescinding this review of the 

antidumping duty order with respect to 

Zhejiang. 

Assessment 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this rescission 

notice. The Department will instruct 

CBP to assess antidumping duties 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)(1)(i). 

Notification to Parties 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘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: February 28, 2011.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
