Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce 

determines that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on steel 

hangers from China would be likely to 

lead to the continuation or recurrence of 

dumping, and that the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail would be 

weighted-average dumping margins up 

to 187.25 percent.

Ferrosilicon From Malaysia: Amended 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and Amended 

Preliminary Negative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is amending the 

preliminary affirmative determination 

in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation of ferrosilicon from 

Malaysia to correct significant 

ministerial errors. The period of 

investigation (POI) is January 1, 2023, 

through December 31, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable December 11, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 6, 2024, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

preliminary affirmative determination 

in the LTFV investigation of ferrosilicon 

from Malaysia.1 On November 8 and 12, 

2024, the petitioners 2 timely alleged 

that Commerce made significant 

ministerial errors in the Preliminary 

Determination with respect to 

calculation of the preliminary weightedaverage dumping margins for OM 

Materials Sarawak Sdn. Bhd (OMSA) 

and Pertama Ferroalloys Sdn. Bhd 

(Pertama),3 respectively. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is ferrosilicon from 

Malaysia. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see the 

Preliminary Determination. 

Legal Framework 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce will correct any significant 

ministerial error by amending the 

preliminary determination. A 

ministerial error is defined as including 

errors ‘‘in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical error 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

similar type of unintentional error 

which {Commerce} considers 

ministerial.’’ 4 A ministerial error is 

considered to be ‘‘significant’’ if its 

correction, either singly or in 

combination with other errors, would 

result in: (1) a change of at least five 

absolute percentage points in, but not 

less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in 

the preliminary determination; or (2) a 

difference between a weighted-average 

dumping margin of zero (or de minimis) 

and a weighted-average dumping 

margin of greater than de minimis or 

vice versa.5

Analysis of Significant Ministerial 

Errors 

In the Preliminary Determination, 

Commerce made significant ministerial 

errors within the meaning of section 

735(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 35.224(f)– 

(g) in calculating the weighted-average 

dumping margins for OMSA and 

Pertama. Specifically, for OMSA, we 

included an incorrect currency 

conversion for OMSA’s home market 

costs.6 For Pertama, an error in our 

aggregation of five third-country market 

databases resulted in a distortion of the 

results of the arm’s-length test in the 

comparison market program.7

We find that these errors meet the 

definition of ‘‘ministerial errors,’’ and 

that the corrections of the errors for 

OMSA and Pertama result in a change 

that is at least five absolute percentage 

points in, and not less than 25 percent 

of, the margins calculated for OMSA 

and Pertama in the Preliminary 

Determination. As such, they constitute 

significant errors within the meaning of 

19 CFR 351.224(g). Accordingly, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 224(e), Commerce is 

amending the Preliminary 

Determination to correct these 

significant ministerial errors by revising 

the rates for OMSA, Pertama, and all 

other producers and/or exporters.8

For a complete discussion of the 

alleged ministerial errors, see the 

Preliminary Ministerial Error 

Memorandum. 

Amended Preliminary Negative 

Determination of Critical 

Circumstances 

Because we have revised the rates 

calculated for OMSA, Pertama, and all 

other producers and/or exporters, we 

have also amended our preliminary 

analysis of critical circumstances. In 

accordance with section 733(e) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce 

preliminarily finds that critical 

circumstances do not exist for OMSA, 

Pertama, and all other companies not 

individually examined. For a full 

description of the results of Commerce’s 

critical circumstances analysis, see the 

Ministerial Error Memorandum. 

Amended Preliminary Determination 

As a result of correcting the 

significant ministerial errors, Commerce 

determines the following estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist:
