Antidumping Duty Order 

In accordance with section 736(a)(1) 

of the Act, the Department will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to assess, upon further 

information from the Department, 

antidumping duties equal to the amount 

by which the normal value of the 

merchandise exceeds the export price 

(or the constructed export price) of the 

merchandise for all relevant entries of 

EMD from the PRC. These antidumping 

duties will be assessed on all entries of 

EMD entered, or withdrawn from the 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

March 26, 2008, the date on which the 

Department published its notice of 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register. See Electrolytic 

Manganese Dioxide from the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Postponement of Final 

Determination, 73 FR 15988 (March 26, 

2008). 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of the exporters 

that account for a significant proportion 

of EMD in the PRC, we extended the 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. See Letter from Guizhou 

Redstar Developing Import and Export 

Company, Ltd. (March 11, 2008). In the 

underlying investigation, the six-month 

period beginning on the date of the 

publication of the preliminary 

determination ended on September 22, 

2008. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the 

Act states that definitive duties are to 

begin on the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act and our practice, we 

will instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of EMD from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after September 22, 

2008, through the day preceding the 

date of publication of the ITC’s final 

injury determination in the Federal 

Register. 

On and after the date of publication 

of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

CBP will require, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated duties on this merchandise, 

cash deposits for the subject 

merchandise equal to the estimated 

weighted-average antidumping margins 

listed below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 14, 2008, the Department 

published the final determination of 

sales at less than fair value of EMD from 

Australia. See Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Termination of CriticalCircumstances Investigation: 

Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from 

Australia, 73 FR 47586 (August 14, 

2008). 

On September 26, 2008, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination pursuant to section 

735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

less-than-fair-value imports of EMD 

from Australia. See Letter from the ITC 

to the Secretary of Commerce, 

‘‘Notification of Final Affirmative 

Determination of Electrolytic 

Manganese Dioxide from Australia and 

the People’s Republic of China,’’ 

Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1124 and 

1125 (September 26, 2008). Pursuant to 

section 736(a) of the Act, the 

Department is publishing an 

antidumping duty order on the subject 

merchandise. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order includes all manganese dioxide 

(MnO2) that has been manufactured in 

an electrolysis process, whether in 

powder, chip, or plate form. Excluded 

from the scope are natural manganese 

dioxide (NMD) and chemical manganese 

dioxide (CMD). The merchandise 

subject to this order is classified in the

Antidumping Duty Order 

In accordance with section 736(a)(1) 

of the Act, the Department will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to assess, upon further 

information from the Department, 

antidumping duties equal to the amount 

by which the normal value of the 

merchandise exceeds the export price 

(or the constructed export price) of the 

merchandise for all relevant entries of 

EMD from Australia. These 

antidumping duties will be assessed on 

all entries of EMD entered, or 

withdrawn from the warehouse, for 

consumption on or after March 26, 

2008, the date on which the Department 

published its notice of preliminary 

determination in the Federal Register. 

See Notice of Preliminary Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and

affirmative preliminary determination

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of the exporter 

that accounts for a significant 

proportion of EMD in Australia, we 

extended the four-month period to no 

more than six months. See Letter from 

Delta EMD Australia Ltd. (March 25, 

2008). In the underlying investigation, 

the six-month period beginning on the 

date of the publication of the 

preliminary determinations ended on 

September 22, 2008. Furthermore, 

section 737(b) of the Act states that 

definitive duties are to begin on the date 

of publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination. Therefore, in accordance 

with section 733(d) of the Act and our 

practice, we will instruct CBP to

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of EMD from Australia entered,
