Continuation of Antidumping Duty

Orders: Furfuryl Alcohol From the

People’s Republic of China and

Thailand

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Continuation of

Antidumping Duty Orders: Furfuryl

Alcohol from the People’s Republic of

China and Thailand.

SUMMARY: On September 5, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’), pursuant to sections

751(c) and 752(c) of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),

determined that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders on furfuryl

alcohol from the People’s Republic of

China (‘‘PRC’’) and Thailand would

likely lead to continuation or recurrence

of dumping (65 FR 53701). On April 26,

2001, the International Trade

Commission (‘‘the Commission’’),

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,

determined that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders on furfuryl

alcohol from the PRC and Thailand

would likely lead to continuation or

recurrence of material injury to an

industry in the United States within a

reasonably foreseeable time (66 FR

21015). Therefore, pursuant to 751(d)(2)

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(4), the

Department is publishing notice of the

continuation of the antidumping duty

orders on furfuryl alcohol from the PRC

and Thailand.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 4, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On May 1, 2000, the Department

initiated (65 FR 25309), and the

Commission instituted (65 FR 25363),

sunset reviews of the antidumping duty

orders on furfuryl alcohol from the PRC

and Thailand, pursuant to section 751(c)

of the Act. As a result of its reviews, the

Department found that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders would likely

lead to continuation or recurrence of

dumping and notified the Commission

of the magnitude of the margins likely

to prevail were the orders to be revoked.

See Furfuryl Alcohol From the People’s

Republic of China and Thailand; Final

Results of Antidumping Duty Sunset

Reviews, 65 FR 53701 (September 5,

2000).

On April 26, 2001, the Commission

determined, pursuant to section 751(c)

of the Act, that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders on furfuryl

alcohol from the PRC and Thailand

would likely lead to continuation or

recurrence of material injury to an

industry in the United States within a

reasonably foreseeable time. See

Furfuryl Alcohol from China and

Thailand, 66 FR 21015 (April 26, 2001)

and USITC Publication 3412 (April

2001), Investigations Nos. 731–TA–703

and 705 (Review).

Scope of the Orders

The merchandise covered in these

antidumping duty orders is furfuryl

alcohol (C4 H3 OCH2OH). Furfuryl

alcohol is a primary alcohol and is

colorless or pale yellow in appearance.

It is used in the manufacture of resins

and as a wetting agent and solvent for

coating resins, nitrocellulose, cellulose

acetate, and other soluble dyes. The

product subject to these orders is

classifiable under subheading

2932.13.00 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States

(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS

subheading is provided for convenience

and customs purposes, our written

description of the scope of these orders

is dispositive.

Determination

As a result of the determination by the

Department and the Commission that

revocation of the antidumping duty

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, the Department hereby orders

the continuation of the antidumping

duty orders on furfuryl alcohol from the

PRC and Thailand. The effective date of

continuation of these orders will be the

date of publication in the Federal

Register of this Notice of Continuation.

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act,

the Department intends to initiate the

next five-year review of these orders no

later than April 2006.

Effective January 20, 2001, Bernard T.

Carreau is fulfilling the duties of the

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

Background

On February 27, 2001, Minmetals

Precious & Rare Minerals Import and

Company (Electronics) (‘‘CEIECHunan’’), producers/exporters of

manganese metal from the People’s

Scandinavian Metallurgical Co., Ltd.

and Shieldalloy Metallurgical

Corporation (together referred to as

‘‘LSM/SMC’’), likewise requested an

administrative review of the subject

merchandise for the period February 1,

2000 through January 31, 2001. In

accordance with 19 CFR

351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department

within the 90-day deadline, the

Department is rescinding this

administrative review.

SUMMARY: In response to requests by

various interested parties, the

Department of Commerce is conducting

an administrative review of the

final results of this administrative

review, we will instruct the Customs

Service to assess antidumping duties on

all appropriate entries.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), are references to the

provisions effective January 1, 1995, the

effective date of the amendments made

to the Act by the Uruguay Round

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

CFR part 351 (2000).

Background

In accordance with 19 CFR

351.213(b)(2), in April 2000, the

following two producers/exporters of

SRAMs requested an administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on SRAMs from Taiwan: Galvantech,

Inc. (Galvantech), and GSI Technology,

Inc. (GSI Technology). In addition, the

petitioner, Micron Technology, Inc.,

requested an administrative review of

GSI Technology, as well as G-Link

Technology (G-Link), Integrated Silicon

Solution Inc. (ISSI), and Winbond

Electronics Corporation (Winbond).

In May 2000, the Department initiated

an administrative review for each of

these companies (65 FR 35320 (June 2,

2000)) and issued questionnaires to

them.

On June 16, 2000, the Department

extended the time limit for completion

of the preliminary results until April 30,

2001. See Static Random Access

Memory Semiconductors From Taiwan:

Notice of Extension of Time Limits for

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 65 FR 38809 (June 22, 2000).

In December 2000, we received

responses to sections A through C of the

questionnaire (i.e., the sections relating

to general information, home market

sales, and U.S. sales) from each of the

respondents. In addition, we also

received responses to section D of the

questionnaire (i.e., the section relating

to cost of production (COP)/constructed

value (CV)) from all companies except

Galvantech.

On January 9, 2001, the petitioner

alleged that Galvantech was selling at

prices below the COP in its home

market. Based on an analysis of this

allegation, the Department initiated an

investigation to determine whether

Galvantech made home market sales

during the period of review (POR) at
