evidence other than factual information 

described in (i)–(iv). The final rule 

requires any party, when submitting 

factual information, to specify under 

which subsection of 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(21) the information is being 

submitted and, if the information is 

submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct 

factual information already on the 

record, to provide an explanation 

identifying the information already on 

the record that the factual information 

seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The 

final rule also modified 19 CFR 351.301 

so that, rather than providing general 

time limits, there are specific time limits 

based on the type of factual information 

being submitted. These modifications 

are effective for all proceeding segments 

initiated on or after May 10, 2013, and 

thus are applicable to this investigation. 

Interested parties should review the 

final rule, available at http://

submitting factual information in this 

investigation. 

Revised Extension of Time Limits 

Regulation 

On September 20, 2013, the 

Department modified its regulation 

concerning the extension of time limits 

for submissions in AD and CVD 

proceedings.46 The modification 

clarifies that parties may request an 

extension of time limits before a time 

limit established under 19 CFR part 351 

expires, or as otherwise specified by the 

Secretary. In general, an extension 

request will be considered untimely if it 

is filed after the time limit established 

under Part 351 expires. For submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously, an extension request 

will be considered untimely if it is filed 

after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. 

Examples include but are not limited to: 

(1) Case and rebuttal briefs, filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2) filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification 

and correction information filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) 

comments concerning the selection of a 

surrogate country and surrogate values 

and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

data; and (5) quantity and value 

questionnaires. Under certain 

circumstances, the Department may 

elect to specify a different time limit by 

which extension requests will be 

considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, the 

Department will inform parties in a 

letter or memorandum setting forth the 

deadline (including a specified time) by 

which extension requests must be filed 

to be considered timely. This 

modification also requires that an 

extension request be made in a separate, 

stand-alone submission, and clarifies 

the circumstances under which the 

Department will grant untimely-filed 

requests for the extension of time limits. 

These modifications are effective for all 

segments initiated on or after October 

21, 2013, and thus are applicable to this 

investigation. Interested parties should 

review Extension of Time Limits; Final 

Rule, available at http://www.gpo.gov/

fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013- 

22853.htm, prior to submitting requests 

to extend time limits in this 

investigation. 

Certification Requirements 

Any party submitting factual 

information in an AD or CVD 

proceeding must certify to the accuracy 

and completeness of that information.47

Parties are hereby reminded that revised 

certification requirements are in effect 

for company/government officials, as 

well as their representatives. 

Investigations initiated on the basis of 

petitions filed on or after August 16, 

2013, and other segments of any AD or 

CVD proceedings initiated on or after 

August 16, 2013, should use the formats 

for the revised certifications provided at 

the end of the Final Rule.48 The 

Department intends to reject factual 

submissions if the submitting party does 

not comply with the applicable revised 

certification requirements. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders 

(‘‘APO’’) in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.305. On January 22, 2008, the 

Department published Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Documents Submission Procedures; 

APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January 

22, 2008). Parties wishing to participate 

in this investigation should ensure that 

they meet the requirements of these 

procedures (e.g., the filing of letters of 

appearance as discussed in 19 CFR 

351.103(d)).

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of this investigation covers all 

forms, sizes and compositions of 

silicomanganese, except low-carbon 

silicomanganese, including silicomanganese 

briquettes, fines, and slag. Silicomanganese 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 is sometimes 

referred to as ferrosilicon manganese. 

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 0.2 percent 

phosphorus. Silicomanganese is properly 

classifiable under subheading 7202.30.0000 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). 

Low-carbon silicomanganese is excluded 

from the scope of this investigation. It is 

sometimes referred to as ferromanganesesilicon. The low-carbon silicomanganese 

excluded from this investigation is a 

ferroalloy with the following chemical 

specifications by weight: minimum 55 

percent manganese, minimum 27 percent 

silicon, minimum 4 percent iron, maximum 

0.10 percent phosphorus, maximum 0.10 

percent carbon, and maximum 0.05 percent 

sulfur. Low-carbon silicomanganese is 

classifiable under HTSUS subheading 

7202.30.0000. 

The HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. The 

written description of the scope is 

dispositive.

subject merchandise at less than normal 

value. We also continue to find that 

Suzhou Guoxin Group Wang Shun Imp. 

and Exp. Co., Ltd. (Guoxin) is not 

eligible for a separate rate and remains 

part of the PRC-wide entity. Finally, we 

are not rescinding the review with 

respect to Winnsen Industry Co., Ltd. 

(Winnsen).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 7, 2014, the Department 

published the Preliminary Results. We 

received case and rebuttal briefs with 

respect to the Preliminary Results. We 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

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

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

are HSLWs. The product is currently 

classified under subheading 

7318.21.0000, 7318.21.0030, and 

7318.21.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written product 

description is dispositive. A full 

description of the scope of the order is 

contained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, dated concurrently with 

and hereby adopted by this notice.2

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

A list of the issues raised is attached to 

this notice as an appendix. 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).3 ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is also available 

to all parties in the Central Records 

Unit, room 7046 of the main Department 

of Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Enforcement and 

Compliance Web site at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed 

and electronic versions of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of comments 

received, we made revisions that have 

changed the results for Jiangsu RC. 

These changes include changes to the 

valuation of certain factors of 

production and calculation 

programming changes. For further 

details on the changes we made for 

these final results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity 

For the Preliminary Results, the 

Department assigned to the PRC-wide 

entity the rate of 128.63 percent, the rate 

determined for the PRC-wide entity in 

this proceeding.4 Based on comments 

from interested parties in this 

administrative review, as discussed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

we have calculated a final margin for 

Jiangsu RC of 192.88 percent, which is 

also the new rate for the PRC-wide 

entity.5

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department determined that Guoxin, 

which ceased participating in this 

review, did not demonstrate its 

eligibility for a separate rate and, 

therefore, Guoxin is part of the PRCwide entity. No party commented on 

this finding. For the final results, we 

have continued to treat Guoxin as part 

of the PRC-wide entity. 

In the Preliminary Results we also 

determined that, while the request for 

review had been timely withdrawn for 

Winnsen, Winnsen did not have a 

separate rate prior to the Preliminary 

Results. Accordingly, the Department 

did not rescind the review with respect 

to Winnsen and it remained part of the 

PRC-wide entity, which remained under 

review.6 No party commented on this 

finding. For the final results, we 

continue to treat Winnsen as part of the 

PRC-wide entity. 

Final Results of the Review 

As a result of this administrative 

review, we determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist:

Assessment 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the 

Department shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. For customers or importers of 

Jiangsu RC for which we do not have 

entered value, we calculated customer- 

/importer-specific antidumping duty 

assessment amounts based on the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales of 

subject merchandise to the total sales 

quantity of those same sales.7 For 

customers or importers of Jiangsu RC for 

which we received entered-value

information, we have calculated 

customer/importer-specific 

antidumping duty assessment rates 

based on customer/importer-specific ad 

valorem rates in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

The Department announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

NME cases.8 Pursuant to this refinement 

in practice, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales databases 

submitted by companies individually 

examined during this review, including, 

in this case, Guoxin and Winnsen, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the revised 

PRC-wide rate of 192.88 percent. In 

addition, for companies for which the 

Department determined that the 

exporter under review had no 

shipments of the subject merchandise, 

any suspended entries that entered 

under that exporter’s case number (i.e., 

at that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated 

at the PRC-wide rate. 

We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of these final results of 

review for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act: (1) For subject merchandise 

exported by the companies listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

in these final results of review for each 

exporter as listed above; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters not listed above 

that received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be that for the PRC-wide entity; (4) for 

all non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. These deposit requirements 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification 

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 the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

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). 

Timely written 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 terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

These final results of review are 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the 

Act.
