Revocation of Antidumping Duty

Order: Silicon Metal From Argentina

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of revocation of

antidumping duty order: silicon metal

from Argentina.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the

Act’’), the United States International

Trade Commission (‘‘the Commission’’)

determined that revocation of the

antidumping duty order on silicon

metal from Argentina is not likely to

lead to continuation or recurrence of

material injury to an industry in the

United States within a reasonably

foreseeable time (66 FR 8981 (February

5, 2001)). Therefore, pursuant to section

751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.222(i)(1), the Department of

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is

revoking the antidumping duty order on

silicon metal from Argentina. Pursuant

to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and

19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(ii) the effective

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

Background

On November 2, 1999, the Department

initiated (64 FR 59160), and the

Commission instituted (64 FR 59209), a

sunset review of the antidumping duty

order on silicon metal from Argentina,

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. As

a result of its review, the Department

found that revocation of the

antidumping duty order on silicon

metal from Argentina would likely lead

to continuation or recurrence of

dumping, and notified the Commission

of the magnitude of the margin likely to

prevail were the antidumping duty

order revoked. See Silicon Metal From

Argentina; Final Results of Expedited

Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty

Order, 65 FR 35608 (June 5, 2000).

On February 5, 2001, the Commission

determined, pursuant to section 751(c)

of the Act, that revocation of the

antidumping duty order on silicon

metal from Argentina would not likely

lead to continuation or recurrence of

material injury to an industry in the

United States within a reasonably

foreseeable time. See Silicon Metal From

Argentina, 66 FR 8981 (February 5,

2001), and USITC Pub. 3385, (January

2001), Investigations Nos. 731-TA–470–

472 (Review).

Scope

The merchandise subject to this

antidumping duty order is silicon metal

containing at least 96.00 percent, but

less than 99.99 percent of silicon by

weight. Also subject to this order is

silicon metal containing between 89.00

and 96.00 percent silicon by weight but

which contains a higher aluminum

content than the silicon metal

containing at least 96.00 percent but less

than 99.99 percent silicon by weight (65

FR 5311, February 3, 2000). Silicon

metal is currently provided under

subheadings 2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule

(‘‘HTS’’) as a chemical product, but is

commonly referred to as a metal.

Semiconductor-grade silicon (silicon

metal containing by weight not less than

99.99 percent of silicon is provided

under subheading 2804.61.00 of the

HTS is not subject to this antidumping

duty order. Although the HTS numbers

are provided for convenience and

customs purposes, the written

description remains dispositive.

Determination

As a result of the determination by the

Commission that revocation of this

antidumping duty order is not likely to

lead to continuation or recurrence of

material injury to an industry in the

United States, the Department, pursuant

to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19

CFR 351.222(i)(1), is revoking the

antidumping duty order on silicon

metal from Argentina.

Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of

the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(ii), this

revocation is effective January 1, 2000.

The Department will instruct the

Customs Service to discontinue the

suspension of liquidation and collection

of cash deposit rates on entries of the

subject merchandise entered or

withdrawn from warehouse on or after

January 1, 2000 (the effective date). The

Department will complete any pending

administrative reviews of this order and

will conduct administrative reviews of

subject merchandise entered prior to the

effective date of revocation in response

to appropriately filed requests for

review.

This notice is published pursuant to

section 703(c)(2) of the Act. Effective

January 20, 2001, Bernard T. Carreau is

fulfilling the duties of the Assistant

Secretary for Import Administration.
