Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 210 / Tuesday, November 1, 2005 / Notices 65885 

1 In comments made on the interim final sunset 

regulations, a number of parties stated that the 

proposed five-day period for rebuttals to 

substantive responses to a notice of initiation was 

insufficient. This requirement was retained in the 

final sunset regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As 

provided in 19 CFR 351.302(b), however, the 

Department will consider individual requests for 

extension of that five-day deadline based upon a 

showing of good cause.

Notice of Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value: Superalloy 

Degassed Chromium from Japan 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 1, 2005. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

determines that imports of superalloy 

degassed chromium from Japan are 

being, or are likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value, as 

provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act). The final 

weighted–average dumping margins are 

listed below in the section entitled 

‘‘Final Determination of Investigation.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 18, 2005, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) 

published the preliminary 

determination of sales at less than fair 

value (LTFV) in the antidumping 

investigation of superalloy degassed 

chromium from Japan. See Notice of 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value: Superalloy 

Degassed Chromium from Japan, 70 FR 

48538 (August 18, 2005) (Preliminary 

Determination). We requested that 

parties comment on the Preliminary 

Determination. We did not make a 

decision on scope–clarification 

comments submitted by parties prior to 

the Preliminary Determination, as there 

was insufficient information on the 

record to draw a conclusion. Therefore, 

we invited parties to provide any new 

factual information on this issue and 

scope comments. 

We received new factual information 

and scope comments from Tosoh 

Corporation and Tosoh Specialty 

Materials Corporation (collectively, 

Tosoh) and from Eramet Marietta Inc. 

(Eramet) and the Paper Allied–

Industrial Chemical and Energy Workers 

International Union (collectively, the 

petitioners). We did not receive any 

comments, scope or otherwise, from JFE 

Material Co., Ltd. (JFE Material), during 

this investigation. While Mitsui & Co. 

(U.S.A.), Inc. (Mitsui), submitted scope 

comments prior to the Preliminary 

Determination, we have not received 

any comments from Mitsui since the 

Preliminary Determination. On 

September 21, 2005, the petitioners 

requested a hearing to discuss scope 

comments or rebuttal comments raised 

by interested parties in the investigation 

but then withdrew their request for a 

hearing on September 30, 2005. We did 

not receive any case or rebuttal briefs 

from any interested parties. 

Scope Comments 

All comments raised by parties to this 

investigation on superalloy degassed 

chromium from Japan are addressed in 

the Scope Comments Memorandum 

from Laurie Parkhill, Office Director, to 

Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary, dated October 25, 2005. As 

discussed in the Scope Comments 

Memorandum, the scope of the 

investigation remains unchanged from 

our preliminary determination. This 

Scope Comments Memorandum, which 

is a public document, is on file in the 

Department’s Central Records Unit, 

Herbert C. Hoover building, Room B–

099. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is January 

1, 2004, through December 31, 2004. 

Scope of Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is all forms, sizes, and 

grades of superalloy degassed chromium 

from Japan. Superalloy degassed 

chromium is a high–purity form of 

chrome metal that generally contains at 

least 99.5 percent, but less than 99.95 

percent, chromium. Superalloy 

degassed chromium contains very low 

levels of certain gaseous elements and 

other impurities (typically no more than 

0.005 percent nitrogen, 0.005 percent 

sulphur, 0.05 percent oxygen, 0.01 

percent aluminum, 0.05 percent silicon, 

and 0.35 percent iron). Superalloy 

degassed chromium is generally sold in 

briquetted form, as ‘‘pellets’’ or 

‘‘compacts,’’ which typically are 1? 

inches x 1 inch x 1 inch or smaller in 

size and have a smooth surface. 

Superalloy degassed chromium is 

currently classifiable under subheading 

8112.21.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

This investigation covers all chromium 

meeting the above specifications for 

superalloy degassed chromium 

regardless of tariff classification. 

Certain higher–purity and lower–

purity chromium products are excluded 

from the scope of this investigation. 

Specifically, the investigation does not 

cover electronics–grade chromium, 

which contains a higher percentage of 

chromium (typically not less than 99.95 

percent), a much lower level of iron 

(less than 0.05 percent), and lower 

levels of other impurities than 

superalloy degassed chromium. The 

investigation also does not cover 

‘‘vacuum melt grade’’ (VMG) chromium, 

which normally contains at least 99.4 

percent chromium and contains a higher 

level of one or more impurities 

(nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen, aluminum 

and/or silicon) than specified above for 

superalloy degassed chromium. 

Although the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of this investigation is dispositive. 

Adverse Facts Available

continue to find that, by failing to
