of sharpened lead on one end and a
rubber eraser on the other end.
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Scope of the Order
Imports covered by this order are
shipments of certain cased pencils of
any shape or dimension (except as
noted below) which are writing and/or
drawing instruments that feature cores
of graphite or other materials, encased
in wood and/or man–made materials,
whether or not decorated and whether
or not tipped (e.g., with erasers, etc.) in
any fashion, and either sharpened or
unsharpened. The pencils subject to the
order are currently classifiable under
subheading 9609.10.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Specifically
excluded from the scope of the order are
mechanical pencils, cosmetic pencils,
pens, non–cased crayons (wax), pastels,
charcoals, chalks, and pencils produced
under U.S. patent number 6,217,242,
from paper infused with scents by the
means covered in the above–referenced
patent, thereby having odors distinct
from those that may emanate from
pencils lacking the scent infusion. Also
excluded from the scope of the order are
pencils with all of the following
physical characteristics: 1) length: 13.5
or more inches; 2) sheath diameter: not
less than one–and-one quarter inches at
any point (before sharpening); and 3)
core length: not more than 15 percent of
the length of the pencil.
In addition, pencils with all of the
following physical characteristics are
excluded from the scope of the order:
novelty jumbo pencils that are octagonal
in shape, approximately ten inches long,
one inch in diameter before sharpening,
and three–and-one eighth inches in

Amended Final Results
In accordance with section 751(a) the
Act, on July 6, 2006, the Department
published its final results and partial
rescission of the administrative review
of certain cased pencils from the
People’s Republic of China. See Final
Results.
On July 10, 2006, CFP/Three Star
submitted a ministerial error allegation
with respect to the final results of
administrative review. No other
interested party submitted ministerial
error allegations. No party submitted
comments on the ministerial error
allegation submitted by CFP/Three Star.
In accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act, we have determined that a
ministerial error was made in the
calculation of the final margin for CFP/
Three Star. See Memorandum from
Charles Riggle, Program Manager, AD/

(‘‘the Act’’). The Department conducted
an expedited (120-day) sunset review of
this order. As a result of this sunset

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background:
On May 1, 2006, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
second sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium
from Russia pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 71 FR 25568 (May
1, 2006). The Department received the
Notice of Intent to Participate from the
Vanadium Producers and Reclaimers
Association (VPRA) and its members:
Gulf Chemical and Metallurgical
Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Bear Metallurgical
Corporation; and Metallurg Vanadium
Corporation (collectively ‘‘the domestic
interested parties’’), within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
The domestic interested parties claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) and (E) of the Act, as
manufacturers of a domestic–like
product in the United States, and a trade
or business association of a majority of
whose members manufacture, produce,
or wholesale a domestic like product in
the United States. We received complete
substantive responses from the domestic
interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no
responses from any respondent
interested parties. As a result, pursuant
to section 751(c)(4)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the
Department conducted an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of the order.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium,
regardless of grade, chemistry, form or
size, unless expressly excluded from the
scope of this order. Ferrovanadium
includes alloys containing
ferrovanadium as the predominant
element by weight (i.e., more weight
than any other element, except iron in
some instances) and at least 4 percent
by weight of iron. Nitrided vanadium
includes compounds containing
vanadium as the predominant element,
by weight, and at least 5 percent, by
weight, of nitrogen.
Excluded from the scope of the order
are vanadium additives other than
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium,
such as vanadium–aluminum master
alloys, vanadium chemicals, vanadium
waste and scrap, vanadium–bearing raw
materials, such as slag, boiler residues,
fly ash, and vanadium oxides.
Manufacturers/Exporters/Producers
The products subject to this order are
currently classifiable under subheadings
2850.00.20, 7202.92.00, 7202.99.5040,
8112.40.3000, and 8112.40.6000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope is
dispositive.

addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Results
Expedited Sunset Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on

is hereby adopted by this notice. The
issues discussed in the Decision Memo
include the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping and the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail if the orders were to be revoked.

from Russia would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at the following weighted–average
percentage margins:
