Ferrosilicon From the Russian 

Federation: Final Affirmative 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Final Affirmative 

Determination of Critical 

Circumstances 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

ferrosilicon from the Russian Federation 

(Russia) is being, or is likely to be, sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value (LTFV) during the period of 

investigation (POI) July 1, 2023, through 

December 31, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable September 18, 2024.

(202) 482–0981. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 28, 2024, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination in this LTFV 

investigation in the Federal Register.1

On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled 

certain deadlines in these 

administrative proceedings by seven 

days.2 The deadline for the final 

determination is now September 11, 

2024. We only received comment on the 

Preliminary Determination from CC 

Metals and Alloys, LLC and Ferroglobe 

USA, Inc. (collectively, the petitioners), 

in which the petitioners argued that lack 

of participation in this investigation 

should lead Commerce to reach the 

same conclusion for the final 

determination as it did in the 

Preliminary Determination.3

Subsequently, on August 28, 2024, 

Commerce published its Preliminary 

Critical Circumstances Determination in 

the Federal Register and invited 

interested parties to comment.4 No 

interested party submitted comments on 

the Preliminary Critical Circumstances 

Determination. Accordingly, we did not 

make any changes to our Preliminary 

Determination and there is no decision 

memorandum accompanying this 

Federal Register notice. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is ferrosilicon from Russia. 

For a full description of the scope of this 

investigation, see the appendix to this 

notice. 

Scope Comments 

On August 28, 2024, CC Metals and 

Alloys, LLC and Ferroglobe USA, INC. 

(collectively, the petitioners) filed a 

clarification of the scope language in 

which the petitioner noted that there 

was a word missing in the scope 

language (i.e., in the Petition and the 

Initiation Notice, the first paragraph of 

the scope stated: ‘‘10 percent or less any 

other element’’ and should read ‘‘10 

percent or less of any other element’’).5

Use of Adverse Facts Available (AFA) 

Pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), we have continued to base the 

dumping margin for the Russia-wide 

entity, upon facts otherwise available, 

with adverse inferences, because 

Russian producers/exporters of subject 

merchandise during the POI, now part 

of the Russia-wide entity, failed to 

respond to Commerce’s requests for 

information.6

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

In the Preliminary Critical 

Circumstances Determination, 

Commerce preliminary determined, in 

accordance with sections 733(e) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.206, that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to all 

imports of subject merchandise from 

Russia produced or exported by the 

Russia-wide entity.7 For this final 

determination, in accordance with 

section 735(a)(3) of the Act, Commerce 

continues to find that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to all 

imports of subject merchandise from 

Russia produced or exported by the 

Russia-wide entity. 

Combination Rates 

In the Preliminary Determination, we 

stated that because no respondent 

applied for a separate rate, we did not 

calculate producer/exporter 

combination rates in accordance with 

our practice.8 This remains unchanged 

for the final determination. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist:

9See Preliminary Critical Circumstances 

Determination. We note that the Preliminary 

Critical Circumstances Determination indicated 

March 30, 2024, as the start of the suspension of 

liquidation. However, pursuant to section 703(e)(2) 

of the Act, the correct date for the start of 

suspension of liquidation is April 24, 2024, which 

is the date of publication of the Initiation Notice.

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

parties to the proceeding the 

calculations performed in connection 

with a final determination within five 

days of any public announcement of the 

final determination or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of the final determination in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). However, because 

Commerce based the sole respondent’s 

dumping margin on the Petition rate, 

there are no calculations to disclose. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

Commerce will direct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to continue 

to suspend liquidation of entries of the 

merchandise described in the scope of 

this investigation where that 

merchandise was entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after June 28, 2024, which is the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination in this investigation in 

the Federal Register. Because we 

preliminarily determined that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to the 

Russia-wide entity, we instructed CBP 

to suspend such entries on or after April 

24, 2024, the date of publication of the 

initiation notice in the Federal 

Register.9 Pursuant to section 

733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.205(d), Commerce will also instruct 

CBP to require the posting of an 

antidumping duty cash deposit. 

Commerce normally adjusts estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

determined in an LTFV investigation by 

the amount of the export subsidies 

countervailed in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) investigation 

to determine the antidumping duty cash 

deposit rates. Because there is a 

companion CVD investigation in this 

case,10 we offset the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

listed in the table above by the 

appropriate export subsidy rate to 

derive the cash deposit rates listed in 

the table. 

Should the provisional measures in 

the companion CVD investigation expire 

prior to the expiration of provisional 

measures in this LTFV investigation, 

Commerce will direct CBP to begin 

collecting estimated antidumping duty 

cash deposits equal to the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

listed in the table above. 

The cash deposit requirements are as 

follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for the 

Russian Federation is the cash deposit 

rate listed for that company in the table 

above; (2) if the exporter of the subject 

merchandise is not identified in the 

table above, but the producer is, then 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific cash deposit rate 

established for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; and (3) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

cash deposit rate listed in the table 

above. 

In accordance with section 703(d) of 

the Act, we will instruct CBP to 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, on or after October 25, 2024, 

the final day of provisional measures. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d)) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its final affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Because the final 

determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with sections 

735(b)(2)) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, the 

ITC will make its final determination as 

to whether the domestic industry in the 

United States is materially injured, or 

threatened with material injury, before 

the later of 120 days after the date that 

Commerce made its affirmative 

preliminary determination in this 

investigation or 45 days after the date of 

this final determination. If the ITC 

determines that material injury, or the 

threat of material injury, does not exist, 

the proceeding will be terminated, and 

all cash deposits will be refunded. If the 

ITC determines that material injury, or 

the threat of material injury, exists, 

Commerce will issue an antidumping 

duty order directing CBP to assess, upon 

further instruction by Commerce, 

antidumping duties on all imports of the 

subject merchandise, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

notification of the return, or 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 violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is being issued 

and published in accordance with 

sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: September 11, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 8, 2024, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results.1 On 

June 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.2 The 

deadline for these preliminary results is 

now September 11, 2024. For events 

subsequent to the Preliminary Results, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 4

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is wood mouldings and millwork 

products. A full description of the scope 

of the Order is contained in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by interested parties 

in briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is provided in 

Appendix I to this notice. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://access.

trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the comments received from the 

interested parties, we made one change 

to the Preliminary Results margin 

calculation for Jinquan/Baiyuan 5 which 

resulted in no change to its preliminary 

margin or to the margin assigned to the 

separate rate companies. 

Partial Rescission 

In the Preliminary Results, we stated 

that we intended to rescind this review 

with respect to 12 companies 6 for 

which Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data show no entries of the 

subject merchandise from these 

companies during the POR.7 No party 

filed comments with respect to this 

preliminary finding and we received no 

information to contradict it. Therefore, 

we are rescinding this administrative 

review with respect to these companies. 

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondents 

The statute and our regulations do not 

address the establishment of a rate to be 

assigned to respondents not selected for 

individual examination when we limit 

our examination of companies subject to 

the administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). Generally, 

we look to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, 

which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for respondents not 

individually examined in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ Accordingly, 

Commerce’s usual practice in 

determining the rate for separate-rate 

respondents not selected for individual 

examination, has been to average the 

weighted-average dumping margins of 

the selected companies, excluding rates 

that are zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts available.8 Because in 

these final results of this review we 

calculated a dumping margin of zero for 

Yinfeng/Mangrove, and a dumping 

margin that is not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts available for 

Jinquan/Baiyuan, we assigned the 

separate-rate recipients a dumping 

margin equal to Jinquan/Baiyuan’s final 

dumping margin consistent with 

Commerce’s practice and section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.9
