EFFECTIVE DATE: November 1, 2005. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce determines that imports of superalloy degassed chromium from Japan are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value, as provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The final weighted–average dumping margins are listed below in the section entitled ‘‘Final Determination of Investigation.’’ AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:02 Oct 31, 2005 Jkt 208001 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janis Kalnins or Minoo Hatten, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–1392 or (202) 482– 1690, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 18, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value (LTFV) in the antidumping investigation of superalloy degassed chromium from Japan. See Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Superalloy Degassed Chromium from Japan, 70 FR 48538 (August 18, 2005) (Preliminary Determination). We requested that parties comment on the Preliminary Determination. We did not make a decision on scope–clarification comments submitted by parties prior to the Preliminary Determination, as there was insufficient information on the record to draw a conclusion. Therefore, we invited parties to provide any new factual information on this issue and scope comments. We received new factual information and scope comments from Tosoh Corporation and Tosoh Specialty Materials Corporation (collectively, Tosoh) and from Eramet Marietta Inc. (Eramet) and the Paper Allied– Industrial Chemical and Energy Workers International Union (collectively, the petitioners). We did not receive any comments, scope or otherwise, from JFE Material Co., Ltd. (JFE Material), during this investigation. While Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc. (Mitsui), submitted scope comments prior to the Preliminary Determination, we have not received any comments from Mitsui since the Preliminary Determination. On September 21, 2005, the petitioners requested a hearing to discuss scope comments or rebuttal comments raised by interested parties in the investigation but then withdrew their request for a hearing on September 30, 2005. We did not receive any case or rebuttal briefs from any interested parties. Scope Comments All comments raised by parties to this investigation on superalloy degassed chromium from Japan are addressed in the Scope Comments Memorandum from Laurie Parkhill, Office Director, to Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary, dated October 25, 2005. As discussed in the Scope Comments Memorandum, the scope of the PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 investigation remains unchanged from our preliminary determination. This Scope Comments Memorandum, which is a public document, is on file in the Department’s Central Records Unit, Herbert C. Hoover building, Room B– 099. 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. Adverse Facts Available For the final determination, we continue to find that, by failing to provide information we requested, JFE E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM 01NON1
