SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 28, 2010, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated 

the administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain new 

pneumatic off-the-road tires (‘‘off-theroad tires’’) from the People’s Republic 

of China (‘‘PRC’’) for the period, 

September 1, 2009, through August 31, 

2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 75 FR 66349 (October 28, 

2010). On October 7, 2011, the 

Department published its preliminary 

results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping order on off-the-road 

tires from the PRC. See Certain New 

Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires from the 

People’s Republic of China: Preliminary 

Results of the 2009—2010 Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review and Intent 

to Rescind, in Part, 76 FR 62356 

(October 7, 2011). On February 8, 2012, 

the Department extended the time limit 

for the final results by 14 days to 

February 18, 2012. See Certain New 

Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires from the 

People’s Republic of China: Notice of 

Extension of Time Limit for the Final 

Results of the 2009–2010 Administrative 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 

77 FR 6536 (February 8, 2012). 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue the 

final results in an administrative review 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary results are published. 

However, if it is not practicable to 

complete the review within this time 

period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 

allows the Department to extend the 

time period to a maximum of 180 days. 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete the final results of this 

review within the current deadline 

because the Department continues to 

require additional time to analyze issues 

raised in recent surrogate value 

submissions, case briefs, and rebuttals. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending 

the time limit for completion of the final 

results of this administrative review by 

14 additional days, until March 3, 2012. 

However, because March 3, 2012, falls 

on a weekend, the final results are now 

due no later than March 5, 2012. See 

Notice of Clarification: Application of 

‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for 

Administrative Determination Deadlines 

Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As 

Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 

This notice is published pursuant to 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 1, 2011, the Department 

of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on seamless 

refined copper pipe and tube from 

Mexico.1 Pursuant to requests from 

interested parties,2 the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

notice of initiation of this antidumping 

duty administrative review with respect 

to the following companies for the 

period November 22, 2010, through 

October 31, 2011: GD Affiliates S. de 

R.L. de C.V. (‘‘GD Affiliates’’), Hong 

Kong GD Trading Co., Ltd., Nacional de

received a letter from Petitioners 

withdrawing their November 28, 2011, 

request for a review of Nacobre, IUSA, 

and Hong Kong GD Trading Co., Ltd. 

Partial Rescission of the First 

Administrative Review 

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

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the parties 

that requested a review withdraw the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. This review was 

initiated on December 30, 2011. See 

Initiation Notice. Petitioners withdrew 

their request for a review of Nacobre, 

IUSA and Hong Kong GD Trading Co., 

Ltd. on February 6, 2012, which is 

within the 90-day deadline. While no 

other party requested an administrative 

review of IUSA, we received other 

requests for review of Nacobre and Hong 

Kong GD Trading Co., Ltd. Therefore, in 

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

and consistent with our practice, we are 

rescinding this review only with respect 

to IUSA.4 The review will continue with 

respect to Nacobre, GD Affiliates, and

FR 67412 (November 1, 2011). 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For IUSA, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period November 22, 2010, through 

October 31, 2011, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 increase in 

the amount of antidumping duties 

assessed. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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 sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Silicon Metal From the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results of the 

Expedited Third Sunset Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On November 1, 2011, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) initiated the third sunset 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on silicon metal from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Based on the 

notice of intent to participate and 

adequate substantive response filed by 

the domestic interested party, and the 

lack of response from any respondent 

interested party, the Department 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the antidumping duty 

order on silicon metal from the PRC, 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). 

As a result of this sunset review, the 

Department finds that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order would be likely 

to lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping, at the levels indicated in the 

‘‘Final Results of Sunset Review’’ 

section of this notice, infra. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 22, 

2012.

5193, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

10, 1991, the Department published the 

antidumping duty order on silicon 

metal from the PRC.1 On November 1, 

2011, the Department published the 

notice of initiation of the third sunset 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on silicon metal from the PRC, pursuant 

to section 751(c) of the Act.2 On 

November 16, 2011, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1), the Department received 

a timely and complete notice of intent 

to participate in the sunset review from 

Globe Metallurgical, Inc., a domestic 

producer of silicon metal (‘‘Globe’’). On 

December 1, 2011, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3), Globe filed a timely and 

adequate substantive response. The 

Department did not receive substantive 

responses from any respondent 

interested party. As a result, pursuant to 

section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the 

Department conducted an expedited 

(120-day) sunset review of the 

antidumping duty order on silicon 

metal from the PRC. 

Scope of the Order 

Imports covered by this review are 

shipments of silicon metal containing at 

least 96.00 but less than 99.99 percent 

of silicon by weight. Also covered by 

this review is silicon metal from the 

PRC containing between 89.00 and 

96.00 percent silicon by weight but 

which contains a higher aluminum 

content than the silicon metal 

containing at least 96.00 percent but less 

than 99.99 percent silicon by weight. 

Silicon metal is currently provided for 

under subheadings 2804.69.10 and 

2804.69.50 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule (‘‘HTS’’) as a chemical 

product, but is commonly referred to as 

a metal. Semiconductor-grade silicon 

(silicon metal containing by weight not 

less than 99.99 percent of silicon and 

provided for in subheading 2804.61.00 

of the HTS) is not subject to this review. 

Although the HTS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

A complete discussion of all issues 

raised in this sunset review is provided 

in the accompanying Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. See ‘‘Issues and 

Decision Memorandum for the 

Expedited Third Sunset Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Silicon 

Metal from the People’s Republic of 

China,’’ from Christian Marsh, Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations, to 

Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, dated 

concurrently with this notice (‘‘I&D 

Memorandum’’). The issues discussed 

in the I&D Memorandum include the 

likelihood of continuation or recurrence 

of dumping and the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail if the order is 

revoked. The I&D Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Import 

Administration’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (‘‘IA 

ACCESS’’). Access to IA ACCESS is
