amended. Interested parties are invited
to comment on this preliminary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On March 24, 2005, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) initiated
the antidumping investigation of
superalloy degassed chromium from
Japan. See Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Investigation: Superalloy Degassed
Chromium from Japan, 70 FR 16220
(March 30, 2005) (Initiation Notice). The
Department set aside a period for all
interested parties to raise issues
regarding product coverage. See
Initiation Notice. We received
comments regarding product coverage
from interested parties. For a detailed
discussion of the comments regarding
the scope of the merchandise under
investigation, please see the ‘‘Scope
Comments’’ section below.
VerDate jul<14>2003
12:20 Aug 17, 2005
Jkt 205001
On March 31, 2005, the Department
issued quantity and value (Q&V)
questionnaires to nine potential
respondents. On April 19, 2005, we
issued a memorandum to the file
including the responses of eight of the
nine companies from which we
requested Q&V information. See
Memorandum from Susan Lehman to
the File entitled ‘‘Superalloy Degassed
Chromium from Japan Mini Quantity
and Value Questionnaire Responses.’’
On April 28, 2005, we concluded that
the only potential respondent was JFE
Material Co., Ltd. (JFE Material). See the
Memorandum from Thomas Schauer to
the File entitled ‘‘Antidumping Duty
Investigation of Superalloy Degassed
Chromium from Japan Respondent
Selection’’ (Respondent Selection
Memo). On May 3, 2005, we issued a
memorandum to the file including the
response of the ninth company (Sojitz
Corporation) from which we requested
Q&V information. The response we
received from Sojitz Corporation to our
Q&V questionnaire did not alter out
conclusion that JFE Material was the
only potential respondent. See
Memorandum from Susan Lehman to
the File entitled ‘‘Antidumping Duty
Investigation of Superalloy Degassed
Chromium from Japan Sojitz
Corporation.’’
On April 21, 2005, the International
Trade Commission (ITC) issued its
affirmative preliminary determination
that there is a reasonable indication that
an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
from Japan of superalloy degassed
chromium. See Superalloy Degassed
Chromium from Japan, 70 FR 20771
(April 21, 2005).
On April 29, 2005, we issued Sections
A, B, C, D, and E1 of the antidumping
questionnaire to JFE Material. We did
not receive a response from JFE Material
by the close of business on June 6, 2005,
the established deadline. On June 8,
2005, we issued a letter to JFE Material
extending the deadline for submission
of the antidumping questionnaire
response to June 15, 2005, thereby
1 Section A of the antidumping duty
questionnaire requests general information
concerning a company’s corporate structure and
business practices, the merchandise under
investigation, and the manner in which it sells that
merchandise in all of its markets. Section B requests
a complete listing of all of the company’s homemarket sales of the foreign like product or, if the
home market is not viable, of sales of the foreign
like product in the most appropriate third-country
market. Section C requests a complete listing of the
company’s U.S. sales of subject merchandise.
Section D requests information of the cost of
production of the foreign like product and the
constructed value of the merchandise under
investigation. Section E requests information on
further-manufacturing activities.

affording it additional time to respond.
We received no response from JFE
Material to our questionnaire nor any
other communication from JFE Material
since we issued the questionnaire.
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.
Scope Comments
In accordance with the preamble to
our regulations (see Antidumping
Duties; Countervailing Duties, 62 FR
27296 (May 19, 1997)), in our Initiation
Notice we set aside a period of time for
