1For purposes of this investigation, the

Department of Commerce has defined the subject

merchandise as ‘‘pure magnesium products,

regardless of chemistry, including, without

limitation, raspings, granules, turnings, chips,

powder, and briquettes, except as noted above. Pure

magnesium includes: (1) Products that contain at

least 99.95 percent primary magnesium, by weight

(generally referred to as ‘‘ultra-pure’’ magnesium);

(2) products that contain less than 99.95 percent but

not less than 99.8 percent pure magnesium, by

weight (generally referred to as ‘‘pure’’ magnesium);

(3) chemical combinations of pure magnesium and

other material(s) in which the pure magnesium

content is 50 percent or greater, but less than 99.8

percent, by weight, and that do not conform to an

‘‘ASTM Specification for Magnesium Alloy’’

(generally referred to as ‘‘off-specification pure’’

magnesium); and (4) physical mixtures of pure

magnesium and other material(s) in which the pure

magnesium content is 50 percent or greater, but less

than 99.8 percent, by weight, except that mixtures

containing 90 percent or less pure magnesium, by

weight, when mixed with lime, calcium metal,

calcium silicon, calcium carbide, calcium

carbonate, carbon slag coagulants, and/or fluorspar,

are excluded. The merchandise subject to this

investigation is classifiable under 8104.30.00 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (‘‘HTS’’). Although the

HTS subheading is provided for convenience and

customs purposes, the written description of the

merchandise under investigation is dispositive.’’

There is an existing antidumping duty order on

pure magnesium from China. See Notice of

Antidumping Duty Orders: Pure Magnesium From

the People’s Republic of China, the Russian

Federation and Ukraine; Notice of Amended Final

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:

Antidumping Duty Investigation of Pure

Magnesium From the Russian Federation, 60 FR

25691 (May 12, 1995). The scope of this

investigation excludes pure magnesium that is

already covered by the existing order, and

classifiable under 8104.11.00 and 8104.19.00 of the

HTS.

the Quinault Reservation, Washington

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 701–TA–403 and 731–

TA–895–897 (Final)]

Pure Magnesium From China, Israel,

and Russia

AGENCY: United States International

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Scheduling of the final phase of

an antidumping investigation.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives

notice of the scheduling of the final

phase of antidumping investigations

Nos. 701–TA–403 and 731–TA–895–896

(Final) under section 735(b) of the Tariff

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the

Act) to determine whether an industry

in the United States is materially

injured or threatened with material

injury, or the establishment of an

industry in the United States is

materially retarded, by reason of

countervailable subsidies by the

government of Israel and by less-thanfair-value imports from China and Israel

of pure magnesium, provided for in

subheading 8104.11.00, 8104.19.00, and

8104.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States.1 Section

207.21(b) of the Commission’s rules

provides that, where the Department of

Commerce has issued a negative

preliminary determination, the

Commission will not publish a notice of

scheduling for the final phase of its

investigation unless and until it receives

an affirmative final determination from

Commerce.

Although the Department of

Commerce has preliminarily determined

that pure magnesium from Russia is not

being sold, nor is likely to be sold, in

the United States at less than fair value,

for purposes of efficiency the

Commission hereby waives rule

207.21(b) and gives notice of the

scheduling of the final phase of the

antidumping investigation No. 731–TA–

897 (Final) under section 735(b) of the

Act. The Commission is taking this

action so that the final phases of the

antidumping investigations may

proceed concurrently in the event that

Commerce makes a final affirmative

antidumping determination with respect

to Russia. If Commerce makes a final

negative antidumping determination

with respect to Russia, the Commission

will terminate its antidumping

investigation under section 735(c)(2) of

the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(c)(2)), and

§ 207.2(d) of the Commission’s rules.

For further information concerning

the conduct of this phase of these

investigations, hearing procedures, and

rules of general application, consult the

Commission’s rules of practice and

procedure, part 201, subparts A through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The final phase of this investigation is

being scheduled as a result of an

affirmative preliminary determination

imports of pure magnesium from China

and Israel are being sold in the United

States at less than fair value within the

meaning of section 733 of the Act (19

U.S.C. 1673b) and that countervailable

subsidies are being provided to

producers and exporters of pure

magnesium by the government of Israel

within the meaning of section 703 (19

U.S.C. 1671b). The investigation was

requested in a petition filed on October

17, 2000, by Magnesium Corporation of
