Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders on Silicomanganese from India, 

Kazakhstan, and Venezuela 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders on silicomanganese from India, 

Kazakhstan, and Venezuela would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of dumping, and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, the 

Department is publishing notice of 

continuation of these antidumping duty 

orders. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 30, 

2007. 

Contact Information: Douglas Kirby or 

Dana Mermelstein, AD/CVD Operations, 

Office 6, Import Administration,

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department initiated and the ITC 

instituted sunset reviews of the 

antidumping duty orders on 

silicomanganese from India, 

Kazakhstan, and Venezuela, pursuant to 

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

as amended (the Act). See Initiation of 

Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 72 FR 

42393 (April 2, 2007) (Notice of 

Initiation). 

As a result of its review, the 

Department found that revocation of the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
842 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 3 / Friday, January 4, 2008 / Notices 

antidumping duty orders would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping, and notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins likely to 

prevail were the orders to be revoked. 

See Silicomanganese from India, 

Kazakhstan, and Venezuela: Final 

Results of Expedited Five-Year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Review of the Antidumping 

Duty Orders, 72 FR 42393 (August 2, 

2007). 

On November 28, 2007, the ITC 

determined, pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Act, that revocation of the 

antidumping duty orders on 

silicomanganese from India, 

Kazakhstan, and Venezuela would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time. See Silicomanganese 

from India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela; 

72 FR 67965 (December 3, 2007), and 

USITC Publication 3963 (November 

2007), (Inv. No. 731–TA–929–931) 

(Review). 

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 ferro alloy 

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 

silicomangense is classifiable under 

HTSUS subheading 7202.99.5040. This 

scope covers all silicomanganese, 

regardless of its tariff classification. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope remains dispositive. 

Continuation of Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC 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 silicomanganese from 

India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect antidumping duty 

cash deposits at the rates in effect at the 

time of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of continuation of 

these orders will be November 30, 2007. 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and 

751(c)(6)(A) of the Act, the Department 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of these orders not later than 

October 2012. 

This five-year (sunset) review and this 

notice are in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: December 10, 2007.

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

commercial weighing and measuring 

devices and other practices used in 

trade and commerce. Publication of this 

notice on the NCWM’s behalf is 

undertaken as a public service; NIST 

does not endorse, approve, or
