after the date on which the preliminary
results were issued. The Department
may, however, extend the deadline for
completion of the final results of a new
shipper review to 150 days if it
determines that the case is
extraordinarily complicated (19 CFR
351.214 (i)(2)).
The Department has determined that
the review is extraordinarily
complicated as the Department must
consider numerous arguments presented
in the case briefs of the three
respondents and petitioner’s rebuttal
brief including arguments regarding the
respondents’ sales prices, quantities,
and issues relating to two respondents’
U.S. affiliates. Based on the timing of
the case, the final results of this new
shipper review cannot be completed
within the statutory time limit of 90
days. Accordingly, the Department is
extending the time limit for the
completion of the final results by 30
days from the original May 24, 2006,
deadline, to June 23, 2006, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.

December 1, 2005, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order for the period
of review covering December 1, 2004,
through November 30, 2005. See Notice
of Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review of Antidumping
or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,
or Suspended Investigation, 70 FR
72109 (December 1, 2005). In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1),
the petitioner, Eramet Marietta Inc.,
requested an administrative review of
this order with respect to the following
ˆ
respondents: Rio Doce Manganes S.A.,
Companhia Paulista de Ferro–Ligas, and
Urucum Mineracao S.A. (collectively
¸˜
RDM/CPFL).
The Department published the
initiation of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
silicomanganese from Brazil on
February 1, 2006. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 71 FR 5241
(February 1, 2006).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order 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. This order
covers all silicomanganese, regardless of
its tariff classification. Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the order remains
dispositive.
Intent to Rescind Administrative
Review
The Department will rescind an
administrative review with respect to an

exporter or producer if the Department
concludes that there were no entries,
exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise to the United States during
the period of review. See 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3). In response to the
Department’s questionnaire, RDM/CPFL
notified the Department that the
company had no entries, exports, or
sales of the subject merchandise to the
United States during the period of
review. Eramet Marietta Inc. submitted
no information rebutting RDM/CPFL’s
response.
The Department conducted a customs
data query to ascertain whether there
were suspended entries of subject
merchandise. See April 12, 2006,
Memorandum to File entitled
‘‘Silicomanganese from Brazil: Internal
Customs Data Query.’’ Based on the data
query, there is no evidence of entries or
shipments of the subject merchandise
by RDM/CPFL during the period of
review. Therefore, we intend to rescind
the review.
In accordance with the Department’s
clarification of its assessment policy
(see Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003)), in the event any entries were
made during the period of review
through intermediaries under U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
case numbers for RDM/CPFL, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the all–others
rate in effect on the date of entry.
