 ACTION: Notice of final results of full sunset review: silicomanganese from Ukraine.
 SUMMARY: On May 30, 2000, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published a notice of preliminary results of the full sunset review of the suspended antidumping investigation on silicomanganese from Ukraine (65 FR 34440) pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”). We provided interested parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results. We did not receive comments from either domestic or respondent interested parties. As a result of this review, the Department finds that termination of the suspended antidumping investigation would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at levels indicated in the

                        **Federal Register**
                         a notice of preliminary results of the full sunset review of the suspended antidumping investigation on silicomanganese from Ukraine, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. In our preliminary results, we found that termination of the suspended antidumping investigation would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and we preliminarily determined the following dumping margin likely to prevail if the suspended antidumping investigation were terminated: Manufacturers/Exporters

 We did not receive a case brief on behalf of either domestic or respondent interested parties within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i). Scope of Review The merchandise covered by this sunset review is silicomanganese. Silicomanganese, which is sometimes called ferrosilicon manganese, is a ferroalloy composed principally of  manganese, silicon, and iron, and normally containing much smaller proportions of minor elements, such as carbon, phosphorous, and sulfur. Silicomanganese generally contains by  weight not less than four percent iron, more than 30 percent manganese, more than eight percent silicon, and not more than three percent phosphorous. All compositions, forms, and sizes of  silicomanganese are included within the scope of this review, including silicomanganese slag, fines, and briquettes. Silicomanganese is used primarily in steel production as a source of both silicon and manganese. This sunset review covers all silicomanganese, regardless of its tariff classification. Most silicomanganese is currently classifiable under subheading 7202.30.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”). Some silicomanganese may also currently be classifiable under HTSUS subheading 7202.99.5040. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the subject merchandise remains dispositive. Analysis of Comments Received The Department did not receive case briefs from either domestic or respondent interested parties. Therefore, we have not made any changes to our 
                        ( print page 58046)
                        preliminary results of May 30, 2000 (65 FR 34440). Final Results of Review As a result of this review, the Department finds that termination of the suspended antidumping investigation on silicomanganese from Ukraine would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the level listed below: Manufacturers/Exporters
