Bureau also uses these data to select
samples for its demographic surveys.
Policymakers, planners, businessmen/

The Department of Commerce will

following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau requests authorization from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to extend the expiration date for
the 2004 Panel of the Survey of Income
and Program Participation (SIPP) to
February 28, 2008.
This will provide the time necessary
to conduct the Wave 10, 11, and 12
interviews for the 2004 Panel of the
SIPP. The interviews will include the
core SIPP, which has already been
approved by OMB under Authorization
No. 0607–0905. Due to budget
constraints, there are no topical
modules for the Wave 10, 11, and 12
interviews.
The SIPP represents a source of
information for a wide variety of topics
and allows information for separate
topics to be integrated to form a single
and unified database so that the
interaction between tax, transfer, and
other government and private policies
can be examined. Government domestic
policy formulators depend heavily upon
the SIPP information concerning the
distribution of income received directly
as money or indirectly as in-kind
benefits and the effect of tax and
transfer programs on this distribution.
They also need improved and expanded
data on the income and general
economic and financial situation of the
U.S. population. The SIPP has provided
these kinds of data on a continuing basis
since 1983, permitting levels of
economic well-being and changes in
these levels to be measured over time.
The survey is molded around a
central ‘‘core’’ of labor force and income
questions that remain fixed throughout
the life of a panel.
The SIPP is designed as a continuing
series of national panels of interviewed
households that are introduced every
few years, with each panel having
durations of 3 to 4 years. The 2004
Panel is scheduled for 4 years and will
include 12 waves which began on
February 1, 2004. All household
members 15 years old or over are
interviewed using regular proxyrespondent rules. They are interviewed
a total of 12 times (12 waves), at 4month intervals, making the SIPP a
longitudinal survey. Sample people (all
household members present at the time
of the first interview) who move within
the country and reasonably close to a
SIPP primary sampling unit will be

followed and interviewed at their new
address. Individuals 15 years old or over
who enter the household after Wave 1
will be interviewed; however, if these
people move, they are not followed
unless they happen to move along with
a Wave 1 sample individual.
Data provided by the SIPP are being
used by economic policymakers, the
Congress, state and local governments,
and federal agencies that administer
social welfare or transfer payment
programs, such as the Department of
Health and Human Services and the
Department of Agriculture.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Every 4 months.

SUMMARY: On October 2, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated a sunset review
of the antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium in granular form from the

response filed on behalf of domestic
interested parties and inadequate
response from respondent interested
parties, the Department conducted an
expedited (120-day) sunset review. As a
result of this sunset review, the
Department finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping. The dumping margins are
identified in the Final Results of Review
section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 2, 2006, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
second sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium in granular form from the
PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Act. See Initiation of Five-year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 71 FR 57921
(October 2, 2006). The Department
received the Notice of Intent to
Participate from US Magnesium LLC1
(‘‘US Magnesium’’), the domestic party,
within the deadline specified in section
351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s
regulations (‘‘Sunset Regulations’’). US
Magnesium claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the
Act, as a domestic producer of pure
magnesium in granular form. The
Department received a complete
substantive response only from US
Magnesium within the 30-day deadline
specified in section 351.218(d)(3)(i) of
the Department’s regulations. The
Department received no responses from
the respondent interested parties. As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(A)
of the Act and section
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the
Department’s regulations, the
Department conducted an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of this order.

Amended Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value: Antidumping
Duty Investigation of Pure Magnesium
From the Russian Federation, 60 FR
25691 (May 12, 1995). The scope of this
order excludes pure magnesium that is
already covered by the existing order on
pure magnesium in ingot form and
currently classifiable under item
numbers 8104.11.00 and 8104.19.00 of
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). The scope of
this order includes imports of pure
magnesium products, regardless of
chemistry, including, without
limitation, raspings, granules, turnings,
chips, powder, and briquettes, except as
noted above. Pure magnesium includes:
(1) Products that contain at least 99.95
percent primary magnesium, by weight
(generally referred to as ‘‘ultra- pure’’
magnesium); (2) products that contain
less than 99.95 percent but not less than
99.8 percent primary magnesium, by
weight (generally referred to as ‘‘pure’’
magnesium); (3) chemical combinations
of pure magnesium and other material(s)
in which the pure magnesium content is
50 percent or greater, but less than 99.8
percent, by weight that do not conform
to an ‘‘ASTM Specification for
Magnesium Alloy’’2 (generally referred
to as ‘‘off–specification pure’’
magnesium); and (4) physical mixtures
of pure magnesium and other material(s)
in which the pure magnesium content is
50 percent or greater, but less than 99.8
percent, by weight. Excluded from this
order are mixtures containing 90
percent or less pure magnesium by
weight and one or more of certain non–
magnesium granular materials to make
magnesium–based reagent mixtures.
The non–magnesium granular materials
of which the Department is aware used
to make such excluded reagents are:
Lime, calcium metal, calcium silicon,
calcium carbide, calcium carbonate,
carbon, slag coagulants, fluorspar,
nephaline syenite, feldspar, aluminum,
alumina (Al2O3), calcium aluminate,
soda ash, hydrocarbons, graphite, coke,
silicon, rare earth metals/mischmetal,
cryolite, silica/fly ash, magnesium
oxide, periclase, ferroalloys, dolomitic
lime, and colemanite. A party importing
a magnesium–based reagent which
includes one or more materials not on
this list is required to seek a scope
clarification from the Department before

which 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 order were to be
revoked. Parties can find a complete

Final Results of Review
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium in granular form from the
