3We received comments from Globe Specialty 

Metals, Inc. and Mississippi Silicon LLC 

(collectively, the petitioners), requesting that 

Commerce refer certain record information to U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for further 

evaluation. Because these comments do not concern

manufacturers or exporters will 

continue to be 4.38 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.12 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

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

Dated: December 20, 2023.

Silicon Metal From Malaysia: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2021–2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

silicon metal from Malaysia was not 

sold in the United States at less than 

normal value during the period of 

review (POR), February 1, 2021, through 

July 31, 2022. 

DATES: Applicable December 28, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This administrative review covers one 

producer/exporter of silicon metal from 

Malaysia, PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd (PMB 

Silicon).1 On September 12, 2023, 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review 

and invited parties to comment.2 No 

interested party submitted comments on 

the Preliminary Results.3 Accordingly, 

the final results remain unchanged from 

the Preliminary Results.4 Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 5

The merchandise under review is all 

forms and sizes of silicon metal, 

including silicon metal powder. Silicon 

metal contains at least 85.00 percent but 

less than 99.99 percent silicon, and less 

than 4.00 percent iron, by actual weight. 

Semiconductor grade silicon 

(merchandise containing at least 99.99 

percent silicon by actual weight and 

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading 2804.61.0000) is excluded 

from the scope of this review. 

Silicon metal is currently classifiable 

under subheadings 2804.69.1000 and 

2804.69.5000 of the HTSUS. Although 

the HTSUS numbers are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

under review is dispositive. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin exists for the period 

February 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd .......... 0.00 

Disclosure 

Because Commerce received no 

comments on the Preliminary Results, 

we have not modified our analysis and 

no decision memorandum accompanies 

this Federal Register notice. We are 

adopting the Preliminary Results as the 

final results of this review. 

Consequently, there are no new 

calculations to disclose in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final 

results. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Where the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

either zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 

0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Accordingly, because PMB Silicon’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero percent, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by PMB 

Silicon for which it did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.6

We intend to instruct CBP to take into 

account the ‘‘provisional measures 

deposit cap,’’ in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(d). Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for PMB Silicon will 

be the rates established in the final 

results of this administrative review; (2) 

for merchandise exported by producers 

or exporters not covered in this 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 12.27 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.7 These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final 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 Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of duties occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

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(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 the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19

Certain Stainless Steel Plate in Coils 

From Taiwan: Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2022–2023 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

stainless steel plate in coils (SS plate in 

coils) from Taiwan for the period of 

review (POR) May 1, 2022, through 

April 30, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable December 28, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 2, 2023, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on SS plate in coils from Taiwan.1 On 

May 31, 2023, North American Stainless 

and Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC, 

(the domestic interested parties) 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce conduct an administrative 

review.2

On July 12, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of administrative 

review with respect to imports of SS 

plate in coils exported and/or produced 

by the companies listed in the domestic 

interested parties’ request for review, in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).3 On July 

12, 2023, we placed on the record U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

data for entries of SS plate in coils from 

Taiwan during the POR, showing no 

reviewable entries, and invited 

interested parties to comment.4 No 

interested party submitted comments to 

Commerce. 

Additionally, on August 16, 2023, 

Commerce notified all interested parties 

of its intent to rescind the instant review 

in full because there were no 

reviewable, suspended entries of subject 

merchandise by any of the companies 

subject to this review during the POR 

and invited interested parties to 

comment.5 No interested party 

submitted comments to Commerce. 

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is 

Commerce’s practice to rescind an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order when there are 

no reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.6 Normally, 

upon completion of an administrative 

review, the suspended entries are 

liquidated at the antidumping duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.7 Therefore, for an 

administrative review to be conducted, 

there must be at least one reviewable, 

suspended entry that Commerce can 

instruct CBP to liquidate at the 

antidumping duty assessment rate 

calculated for the review period.8 As 

noted above, there were no entries of 

subject merchandise for any of the 

companies subject to this review during 

the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of 

suspended entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR, we are 

hereby rescinding this administrative
