Silicomanganese from Brazil, Ukraine,
and the People’s Republic of China;
Five-year Sunset Reviews of
Antidumping Duty Orders; Final
Results

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On January 3, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated sunset reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on
silicomanganese from Brazil, Ukraine,
and the People’s Republic of China
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On
the basis of the notice of intent to
participate and adequate substantive
responses filed on behalf of the sole
domestic interested party and
inadequate responses from respondent
interested parties, the Department
conducted expedited sunset reviews. As
a result of these sunset reviews, the
Department finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail is set forth in the section entitled
‘‘Final Results of Reviews.’’
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 9, 2006.

AGENCY:
Background
On January 3, 2006, the Department
initiated sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty orders on
silicomanganese from Brazil, Ukraine,
and the People’s Republic of China
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.
See Initiation of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 71 FR 91 (January 3, 2006).
The Department received a Notice of
Intent to Participate from Eramet
Marietta Inc. (Eramet) within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i), (Sunset Regulations).
Eramet claimed interested–party status
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a
manufacturer of a domestic like product
in the United States. We received
complete substantive responses from
Eramet within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). In
its substantive response, Eramet
indicated that Elkem was the petitioner
in the original investigation but that,
since Eramet purchased Elkem’s
silicomanganese operations in 1999, it
has participated actively in all
administrative reviews and sunset
reviews.
We did not receive substantive
responses from any respondent
interested parties in the sunset reviews
of the antidumping duty orders on
silicomanganese from Brazil, Ukraine,
and the People’s Republic of China. As
a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
conducted expedited sunset reviews of
these orders.
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders is silicomanganese.
Silicomanganese, which is sometimes
called ferrosilicon manganese, is a
ferroalloy composed principally of
manganese, silicon and iron, and
normally contains much smaller
proportions of minor elements, such as
carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur.
Silicomanganese generally contains by
weight not less than 4 percent iron,
more than 30 percent manganese, more
than 8 percent silicon, and not more
than 3 percent phosphorous. All
compositions, forms, and sizes of
silicomanganese are included within the
scope of the order, including
silicomanganese slag, fines, and
briquettes. Silicomanganese is used
primarily in steel production as a source
of both silicon and manganese.
Silicomanganese is currently
classifiable under subheading
7202.30.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Some silicomanganese may also
currently be classifiable under HTSUS
subheading 7202.99.5040. These orders
cover all silicomanganese, regardless of
its tariff classification. Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of these orders
remain dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in these cases are
addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ from Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, to David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated May 3, 2006
(Decision Memorandum), which is
hereby adopted by this notice. The
issues discussed in the Decision
Memorandum include the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail if the orders were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in these sunset
reviews and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
memorandum, which is on file in the
CRU, Room B–099 of the main
Department building.
In addition, a complete version of the
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the Web at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper copy and
electronic version of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Reviews
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on
silicomanganese from Brazil, Ukraine,
and the People’s Republic of China
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping at the following
percentage weighted–average margins:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 3, 2006, the Department initiated sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty orders on silicomanganese from Brazil, Ukraine, and
the People's Republic of China pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.
See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 71 FR 91 (January 3,

Eramet Marietta Inc. (Eramet) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR

We did not receive substantive responses from any respondent
