reported home-market prices less any 

applicable movement charges. 

3. Results of the COP Test 

Pursuant to section 773(b)(2)(C) of the 

Act, when less than 20 percent of the 

respondent’s sales of the foreign like 

product were at prices less than the 

COP, we did not disregard any belowcost sales of that product because the 

below-cost sales were not made in 

substantial quantities within an 

extended period of time. When 20 

percent or more of the respondent’s 

sales of the foreign like product during 

the POR were at prices less than the 

COP, we disregarded the below-cost 

sales because they were made in 

substantial quantities within an 

extended period of time pursuant to 

sections 773(b)(2)(B) and (C) of the Act 

and, based on comparisons of prices to 

weighted-average COPs for the POR, we 

determined that these sales were at 

prices which would not permit recovery 

of all costs within a reasonable period 

of time in accordance with section 

773(b)(2)(D) of the Act. Based on this 

test, we disregarded below-cost sales for 

RDM/CPFL. 

D. Calculation of Normal Value 

Because we were able to find 

contemporaneous home-market sales 

made in the ordinary course of trade for 

a comparison to EP sales, in accordance 

with section 773(a)(1)(B) of the Act, we 

based normal value on the prices at 

which the foreign like product was sold 

for consumption in the home market. 

Home-market prices were based on exfactory or delivered prices to 

unaffiliated purchasers. When 

applicable, we made adjustments for 

differences in packing and for 

movement expenses in accordance with 

sections 773(a)(6)(A) and (B) of the Act. 

We also made adjustments for 

differences in circumstances of sale in 

accordance with section 773(a)(6)(C)(iii) 

of the Act and section 351.410 of the 

Department’s regulations. Specifically, 

we made circumstances-of-sale 

adjustments by deducting home-market 

direct selling expenses from and adding 

U.S. direct selling expenses to normal 

value. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

preliminarily determine that a margin of 

0.00 percent exists for RDM/CPFL for 

the period December 1, 2002, through 

November 30, 2003. 

Pursuant to section 351.224(b) of the 

Department’s regulations, the 

Department will disclose to parties 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results within 

five days of the date of publication of 

this notice. Any interested party may 

request a hearing within 30 days of 

publication of this notice. A hearing, if 

requested, will be held at the main 

Department building. We will notify 

parties of the exact date, time, and place 

for any such hearing. 

Issues raised in hearings will be 

limited to those raised in the respective 

case and rebuttal briefs. Case briefs from 

interested parties may be filed no later 

than 30 days after publication of this 

notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to the 

issues raised in case briefs, may be 

submitted no later than five days after 

the deadline for filing case briefs. 

Parties who submit case or rebuttal 

briefs in this proceeding are requested 

to submit with each argument (1) a 

statement of the issue, and (2) a brief 

summary of the argument with an 

electronic version included. 

The Department will publish a notice 

of final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

its analysis of issues raised in the case 

briefs, within 120 days from the 

publication of these preliminary results. 

Assessment 

The Department shall determine, and 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Upon completion of 

this review, the Department will issue 

appraisement instructions directly to 

the CBP. 

Further, the following deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of administrative review for all 

shipments of silicomanganese entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cashdeposit rate for RDM/CPFL will be the 

rate established in the final results of 

review; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not mentioned 

above, the cash-deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the lessthan-fair-value investigation (LTFV), but 

the manufacturer is, the cash-deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recent period for the manufacturer 

of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 

the exporter nor the producer is a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or the LTFV investigation, the cash 

deposit rate shall be 17.60 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation. See Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less than Fair 

Value: Silicomanganese from Brazil, 59 

FR 55432 (November 7, 1994). These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until publication 

of the final results of the next 

administrative review. 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this review period. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Secretary’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

This administrative review and notice 

are in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: November 30, 2004. 

James J. Jochum, 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

MBNMS Advisory Council was 

established in March 1994 to assure 

continued public participation in the 

management of the Sanctuary. Since its 

establishment, the Advisory Council has 

played a vital role in decisions affecting 

the Sanctuary along the central 

California coast. 

The Advisory Council’s twenty voting 

members represent a variety of local 

user groups, as well as the general 

public, plus seven local, state and 

Federal governmental jurisdictions. In 

addition, the respective managers or 

superintendents for the four California 

National Marine Sanctuaries (Channel 

Islands National Marine Sanctuary, 

Cordell Bank National Marine 

Sanctuary, Gulf of the Farallones 

National Marine Sanctuary and the 

Monterey Bay National Marine 

Sanctuary) and the Elkhorn Slough 

National Estuarine Research Reserve sit

Activity Panel (‘‘RAP’’) chaired by the 

Research Representative, the Sanctuary 

Education Panel (‘‘SEP’’) chaired by the 

Education Representative, the 

Conservation Working Group (‘‘CWG’’) 

chaired by the Conservation 

Representative, and the Business and 

Tourism Activity Panel (‘‘BTAP’’)

Representative, each dealing with 

matters concerning research, education, 

conservation and human use. The 

working groups are composed of experts 

from the appropriate fields of interest 

and meet monthly, or bi-monthly, 

serving as invaluable advisors to the 

Advisory Council and the Sanctuary 

Superintendent. 

The Advisory Council represents the 

coordination link between the 

Sanctuary and the state and Federal 

management agencies, user groups, 

researchers, educators, policy makers, 

and other various groups that help to 

focus efforts and attention on the central 

California coastal and marine 

ecosystems. 

The Advisory Council functions in an 

advisory capacity to the Sanctuary 

Superintendent and is instrumental in 

helping develop policies, program goals, 

and identify education, outreach, 

research, long-term monitoring, resource 

protection, and revenue enhancement 

priorities. The Advisory Council works 

in concert with the Sanctuary 

Superintendent by keeping him or her 

informed about issues of concern 

throughout the Sanctuary, offering 

recommendations on specific issues, 

and aiding the Superintendent in 

achieving the goals of the Sanctuary 

Program within the context of 

California’s marine programs and 

policies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

Presolicitation notices are used by the 

Government for several reasons, one of 

which is to aid prospective contractors 

in submitting proposals without undue 

expenditure of effort, time, and money. 

The Government also uses the 

presolicitation notices to control 

printing and mailing costs. The 

presolicitation notice response is used 

to determine the number of solicitation 

documents needed and to assure that 

interested offerors receive the 

solicitation documents. The responses 

are placed in the contract file and 

referred to when solicitation documents 

are ready for mailing. After mailing, the 

responses remain in the contract file 

and become a matter of record.

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 5,310.

Responses Per Respondent: 8.

Total Responses: 42,480. 

Hours Per Response: .08.

Total Burden Hours: 3,398.40.
