Silicomanganese From India, 

Kazakhstan, and Venezuela: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on silicomanganese from 

India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing a notice 

of continuation of these AD orders. 

DATES: Applicable December 10, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 23, 2002, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on silicomanganese from 

India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela.1 On 

May 1, 2024, the ITC instituted,2 and 

Commerce initiated,3 the fourth sunset 

review of the Orders, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). As a result of its 

reviews, Commerce determined that 

revocation of the Orders would likely 

lead to the continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC 

of the magnitude of the margins of 

dumping likely to prevail should the 

Orders be revoked.4

On December 10, 2024, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

For purposes of these Orders, the 

products covered are 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, phosphorous and sulfur. 

Silicomanganese is sometimes referred 

to as ferrosilicon manganese. 

Silicomanganese is used primarily in 

steel production as a source of both 

silicon and 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 3 percent phosphorous. 

Silicomanganese is properly classifiable 

under subheading 7202.30.0000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Some 

silicomanganese may also be classified 

under HTSUS subheading 7202.99.5040. 

The low-carbon silicomanganese 

excluded from this scope is a ferroalloy 

with the following chemical 

specifications: 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. Lowcarbon silicomanganese is used in the 

manufacture of stainless steel and 

special carbon steel grades, such as 

motor lamination grade steel, requiring 

a very low carbon content. It is 

sometimes referred to as 

ferromanganese-silicon. Low-carbon 

silicomanganese is classifiable under 

HTSUS subheading 7202.99.5040. 

This scope covers all 

silicomanganese, regardless of its tariff

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, our 

written description of the scope remains 

dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Orders. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD 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 the Orders will be December 10, 

2024.6 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year reviews of the Orders not later 

than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary 

of the date of the last determination by 

the ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 6, 2024, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register the preliminary 

results of the 2022–2023 administrative 

review 1 of the antidumping duty order 

on certain carbon and alloy steel cut-tolength plate (CTL plate) from Belgium.2

The review covers one mandatory 

respondent, Industeel. We invited 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Results.3 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.4 On July 29, 2024, we received a 

case brief from Nucor Corporation (the 

petitioner).5 On August 12, 2024, we 

received a rebuttal brief from Industeel.6

On September 13, 2024, we extended 

the deadline for the final results until 

December 10, 2024.7 Additionally, on 

December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the 

deadline to issue the final results in this 

administrative review by 90 days.8

Accordingly, the deadline for these final 

results is now March 10, 2025. 

For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.9 Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

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