Initiation of Antidumping Duty

Changed-Circumstances Review

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the

Act, the Department will conduct a

changed circumstances review upon

receipt of information concerning, or a

request from an interested party of, an

antidumping duty order which shows

changed circumstances sufficient to

warrant a review of the order.

In making a successor-in-interest

determination, the Department

examines several factors including, but

not limited to, the following changes: (1)

Management; (2) production facilities;

(3) supplier relationships; and (4)

customer base. See, e.g., Brass Sheet

and Strip from Canada; Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 57 FR 20460 (May 13, 1992)

(Canadian Brass).

The information submitted by HDP

shows changed circumstances sufficient

to warrant a review under 19 CFR

351.216. Although HDP did not request

a changed circumstances review, we

consider that, in order to determine

whether Hyundai Hysco is a successorin-interest to HDP, which was the

company originally investigated, we

must conduct a changed circumstances

review. Therefore, we are initiating a

changed circumstances antidumping

duty administrative review pursuant to

section 751(b)(1) of the Act to determine

whether Hyundai Hysco as

manufacturer or exporter should be

excluded from the antidumping duty

order as HDP is.

We will publish in the Federal

Register a notice of preliminary results

of antidumping duty changed

circumstances review, in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and

351.221(c)(3)(i), which will set forth the

factual and legal conclusions upon

which our preliminary results are based

and a description of any action

proposed based on those results. As per

351.221(b)(4), interested parties will

have an opportunity to comment. The

Department will issue its final results of

review in accordance with the time

limitations set forth in 19 CFR

351.216(e). All written comments must

be submitted to the Department and

served on all interested parties on the

Department’s service list in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.303.

During the course of this changed

circumstances review, we will not

change any cash deposit instructions on

the merchandise subject to this changed

circumstances review, unless a change

is determined to be warranted pursuant

to the final results of this review.

This notice is in accordance with

section 751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.216 and 351.221.

Dated: February 23, 2001.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD

Enforcement Group III.

self-contained heating elements. All of

the foregoing are constructed of steel

and are enameled or glazed with

vitreous glasses. This merchandise is

currently classifiable under Harmonized

Kitchenware currently classifiable

under HTSUS subheading 7323.94.00.30

is not subject to the order. Although the

HTSUS subheadings are provided for

convenience and customs purposes, the

written description of the scope of this

Administration, to Bernard T. Carreau,

fulfilling the duties of Assistant

Secretary for Import Administration,

dated February 21, 2001, which is

hereby adopted by this notice. A list of

the issues which parties have raised and

to which we have responded, all of

which are in the Decision Memo, is

Changes From the Preliminary Results

Based on our analysis of comments

received, we have made certain changes

to the margin calculations. For a

discussion of these changes, see the

‘‘Margin Calculations’’ section of the

Decision Memo, which is on file in

room B–099 at the Department and

available on the Web at http://

ia.ita.doc.gov/.

Final Results of Review

We determine that the following

weighted-average margin percentages

exist for the period December 1, 1998,

through November 30, 1999:

Manufacturer/exporter Margin

(percent)

Cinsa ........................................... 10.39

ENASA ........................................ 17.69

The Department shall determine, and

Customs shall assess, antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries. In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b), we

have calculated importer-specific

assessment rates. We will direct

Customs to assess the resulting

percentage margins against the entered

Customs values for the subject

merchandise on each importer’s entries

under the relevant order during the

review period.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following deposit requirements

will be effective upon publication of

this notice of final results of the

administrative review for all shipments

of porcelain-on-steel cookware from

Mexico entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the date of publication, as provided by

section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash

deposit rates for Cinsa and ENASA will

be the rates shown above; (2) for

previously reviewed or investigated

companies not listed above, the cash

deposit rate will continue to be the

company-specific rate published for the

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is

not a firm covered in this review, a prior

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for all other manufacturers

or exporters will continue to be 29.52.

This rate is the ‘‘All Others’’ rate from

the LTFV investigation.

These deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice also serves as a final

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)

to file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties

prior to liquidation of the relevant

entries during this review period.

Failure to comply with this requirement

could result in the Secretary’s

presumption that reimbursement of

antidumping duties occurred and the

subsequent assessment of doubled

antidumping duties.

This notice serves as the only

reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective order (APO) of

their responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely

written notification of return/

destruction of APO materials or

conversion to judicial protective order is

hereby requested. Failure to comply

with the regulations and the terms of an

APO is a sanctionable violation.

We are issuing and publishing this

determination and notice in accordance

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the

Act.

Dated: February 21, 2001.

Silicon Metal From the People’s

Republic of China: Notice of

Rescission of New Shipper

Antidumping Duty Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Rescission of New

Shipper Antidumping Duty Review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 1, 2001.

SUMMARY: On August 16, 2000 the

Department published in the Federal

Register (65 FR 49965) a notice

announcing the initiation of a new

shipper review of the antidumping duty

order on silicon metal from the People’s

Republic of China (PRC), covering

Groupstars Chemical LLC for the period

June 1, 1999 through May 31, 2000. This

new shipper review is now being

rescinded since Groupstars Chemical

LLC (Groupstars Chemical) is not an

exporter or producer of subject

merchandise as required by 19 CFR

351.214(b)(1).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas Gilgunn or Douglas Campau,

AD/CVD Enforcement Group III, Import

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230,

telephone: (202) 482–0648 and (202)

482–1395, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 30, 2000, Groupstars

Chemical, requested a new shipper

review of the antidumping duty order

on silicon metal from the PRC in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(b). In

its request, Groupstars Chemical

certified that it was a producer and

exporter of silicon metal. Based on this

information, the Department initiated a

new shipper review of this order on

August 16, 2000, in accordance with 19

CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). However, a review

of information now on the record with

respect to Groupstars Chemical has led

us to conclude that Groupstars Chemical

is not, in fact, a producer or exporter of

silicon metal. Based on Groupstars

Chemical’s questionnaire response, the

Department determined that Groupstars

Chemical was only a U.S. ‘‘marketing

company’’ and not a producer or

exporter of silicon metal.

Rescission of Review

Since Groupstars Chemical is not an

exporter or producer of silicon metal as

required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(1), the

Department is hereby rescinding

Groupstars Chemical’s new shipper

review.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with section

751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (19 U.S.C. 1675) and 19 CFR

351.214(f). Effective January 20, 2001,

Bernard T. Carreau is fulfilling the

duties of the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration.
