40314 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 144 /Tuesday, July 28, 1998 / Notices

1 The request concerned only imports from

Brazil. However, as the alleged changed

circumstances predominantly relate to the domestic

industry, the Commission solicited comments on

the possibility of self-initiating reviews of the

outstanding orders on imports from China,

Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Venezuela.

determinations in countervailing duty

investigation No. 303–TA–23 (Final)

concerning ferrosilicon from Venezuela,

and antidumping investigations Nos.

731–TA–566–570 and 731–TA–641

(Final) concerning ferrosilicon from

Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Russia,

Ukraine, and Venezuela.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives

notice that it has instituted

investigations pursuant to section 751(b)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1675(b)) (the Act) to review its

determinations in the above-cited

investigations. The purpose of the

investigations is to determine whether

revocation of the subject orders is likely

to lead to continuation or recurrence of

material injury to an industry in the

United States. Ferrosilicon is provided

for in subheadings 7202.21.10,

7202.21.50, 7202.21.75, 7202.21.90, and

7202.29.00 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States.

the conduct of these investigations and

rules of general application, consult the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, part 201, subparts A through

E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207,

subparts A, C, D, and E (19 CFR part

207).

Commission may also be obtained by

Background:

On April 24, 1998, the Commission

received a request to review its

affirmative determination as it applied

to imports of ferrosilicon from Brazil

(the request) 1 in light of changed

circumstances, pursuant to section

751(b) of the Act. The request was filed

by counsel on behalf of Associac ̧a ̃o

Brasileira dos Productores de Ferroligas

e de Silicio Metalico (ABRAFE),

Companhia Brasileira Carbureto de

Calcio (CBCC), Companhia de Ferroligas

de Bahia (FERBASA), Nova Era Silicon

S/A, Italmagnesio S/A-Industria e

Comercio, Rima Industrial S/A, and

Companhia Ferroligas Minas Gerais

(Minasligas).

Pursuant to section 207.45(b) of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (19 CFR § 207.45(b)), the

Commission published a notice in the

Federal Register on May 20, 1998 (63

FR 27747), requesting comments as to

whether the alleged changed

circumstances warranted the institution

of review investigations. The

Commission received comments in

support of the request from C.V.G.

Venezolana de Ferrosilicio C.A.

(Fesilven), a Venezuelan producer of

ferrosilicon, General Motors Corp., a

purchaser of ferrosilicon, and the

governments of Brazil and Kazakhstan.

Comments received in opposition to the

request were received from counsel on

behalf of AIMCOR, American Alloys,

Inc., Elkem Metals Co., and SKW Metals

& Alloys, Inc., U.S. producers of

ferrosilicon. After reviewing these

comments, the Commission determines

that certain of the alleged changed

circumstances are sufficient to warrant

review investigations.
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 144 /Tuesday, July 28, 1998 / Notices 40315

1The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19

CFR 207.2(f)).

2Commissioner Carol T. Crawford dissenting.

3Chairman Lynn M. Bragg determines that an

industry in the United States is threatened with

material injury by reason of the subject imports

from Chile. Chairman Bragg further determines,

pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)(4)(B), that she

would not have found material injury but for the

suspension of liquidation of entries of the

merchandise under investigation. Vice Chairman

Marcia E. Miller determines that an industry in the

United States is materially injured by reason of the

subject imports from Chile.

4For purposes of this investigation, Commerce

has defined the subject merchandise as fresh,

farmed Atlantic salmon, whether ‘‘dressed’’ or cut.

Atlantic salmon is the species Salmo salar, in the

genus Salmo of the family Salmoninae. ‘‘Dressed’’

Atlantic salmon refers to salmon that has been bled,

gutted, and cleaned. It may be imported with the

head on or off, with the tail on or off, and with the

gills in or out. All cuts of fresh Atlantic salmon are

included in the scope of the investigations.

Examples of cuts include, but are not limited to:

crosswise cuts (steaks), lengthwise cuts (fillets),

lengthwise cuts attached by skin (butterfly cuts),

combinations of crosswise and lengthwise cuts

(combination packages), and Atlantic salmon that is

minced, shredded, or ground. Cuts may be

subjected to various degrees of trimming, and

imported with the skin on or off and with the ‘‘pin

bones’’ in or out.

Excluded from the scope are (1) fresh Atlantic

salmon that is ‘‘not farmed’’ (i.e., wild Atlantic

salmon); (2) live Atlantic salmon; and (3) Atlantic

salmon that has been subject to further processing,

such as frozen, canned, dried, and smoked Atlantic

salmon, or processed into forms such as sausages,

hot dogs, and burgers.

5The individual members of FAST on whose

behalf the petition was filed are as follows: Atlantic

Salmon of Maine (Fairfield, ME); Cooke

Aquaculture US, Inc. (Calais, ME); DE Salmon, Inc.

(Calais, ME); Global Aqua USA, LLC (Seattle, WA);

Island Aquaculture Corp. (Swans’ Island, ME);

Maine Coast Nordic, Inc. (Calais, ME); Scan Am

Fish Farms (Anacortes, WA); and Treats Island

Fisheries (Lubec, ME). On Mar. 9, 1998, the petition

was amended to include as an additional petitioner

Trumpet Island Salmon Farm, Inc. (Mount Desert,

ME).

The Commission is also currently

evaluating a request for 751(b) review

investigations on silicon metal from

Argentina, Brazil, and China, and will

make its determination concerning

institution by September 21, 1998.

Because somewhat similar issues have

been raised in both the ferrosilicon and

silicon metal requests, and because

there is considerable overlap in market

participants, the Commission hereby

waives rule 207.45(c) and will not issue

a schedule for the conduct of the

ferrosilicon investigations until it has

made its institution decision in the

silicon metal request. If reviews on

silicon metal are instituted, they will be

conducted concurrently with the

reviews on ferrosilicon.

Authority: These investigations are being

conducted under authority of title VII of the

Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published

pursuant to section 207.45 of the

Commission’s rules.

Issued: July 21, 1998

By order of the Commission.

Secretary.

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731–TA–768 (Final)]

Fresh Atlantic Salmon From Chile

Determination

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigation, the United

States International Trade Commission

determines,2 pursuant to section 735(b)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in

the United States is materially injured

or threatened with material injury 3 by

reason of imports from Chile of fresh

Atlantic salmon,4 provided for in

subheadings 0302.12.00 and 0304.10.40

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States, that have been found

by the Department of Commerce to be

sold in the United States at less than fair

value (LTFV).

Background

The Commission instituted this

investigation effective June 12, 1997,

following receipt of a petition filed with

the Commission and the Department of

Commerce by the Coalition for Fair

Atlantic Salmon Trade.5 The final phase

of the investigation was scheduled by

the Commission following notification

of a preliminary determination by the

Department of Commerce that imports

of fresh Atlantic salmon from Chile

were being sold at LTFV within the

meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19

U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the

scheduling of the Commission’s

investigation and of a public hearing to

be held in connection therewith was

given by posting copies of the notice in

the Office of the Secretary, U.S.

International Trade Commission,

Washington, DC, and by publishing the

notice in the Federal Register of

February 5, 1998 (63 FR 5965). The

hearing was held in Washington, DC, on

June 3, 1998, and all persons who

requested the opportunity were

permitted to appear in person or by

counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determination in this investigation to

the Secretary of Commerce on July 22,

1998. The views of the Commission are

contained in USITC Publication 3116

(July 1998), entitled ‘‘Fresh Atlantic

Salmon from Chile: Investigation No.

731–TA–768 (Final).’’

By order of the Commission.
