Silicomanganese From the People’s 

Republic of China and Ukraine: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(‘‘AD’’) orders on silicomanganese from 

the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

and Ukraine would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and the determinations by the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (‘‘the 

ITC’’) that revocation of these AD orders 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States, the 

Department is publishing this notice of 

the continuation of these AD orders. 

DATES: Effective November 8, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2011, the Department 

initiated and the ITC instituted sunset 

reviews of the AD orders on 

silicomanganese from the PRC and 

Ukraine, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 

752 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’).1 As a result of its 

reviews, the Department found that 

revocation of the AD orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of dumping and notified the ITC of the 

margins of dumping likely to prevail 

were the orders revoked.2

On October 31, 2012, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation 

of the AD orders on silicomanganese 

from the PRC and Ukraine would be 

likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of material injury within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.3

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

orders is silicomanganese. 

Silicomanganese, which is sometimes 

called ferrosilicon manganese, is a 

ferroalloy composed principally of 

manganese, silicon and iron, and 

normally contains much smaller 

proportions of minor elements, such as 

carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur. 

Silicomanganese generally contains by 

weight not less than 4 percent iron, 

more than 30 percent manganese, more 

than 8 percent silicon, and not more 

than 3 percent phosphorous. All 

compositions, forms, and sizes of 

silicomanganese are included within the 

scope of the order, including 

silicomanganese slag, fines, and 

briquettes. Silicomanganese is used 

primarily in steel production as a source 

of both silicon and manganese. 

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. The 

orders cover all silicomanganese, 

regardless of its tariff classification. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

orders remain dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of these AD orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of dumping and of material injury to an 

industry in the United States, pursuant 

to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the 

Department hereby orders the 

continuation of the AD orders on 

silicomanganese from the PRC and 

Ukraine. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

will continue to collect cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. The 

effective date of the continuation of 

these orders is the date of publication in 

the Federal Register of this notice of 

continuation. Pursuant to section 

751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of these orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of the continuations. 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

notice are in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) 

of the Act, as well as 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).
