SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 2, 2006, the Department
initiated and the ITC instituted a sunset
review of the antidumping duty order
on pure magnesium in granular form
from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).1
As a result of its review, the
Department found that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail were the order to be revoked.2
On March 1, 2007, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on pure magnesium in granular
form from the PRC would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.3
Scope of the Order
There is an existing antidumping duty
order on pure magnesium from the
PRC.4 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
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

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’’5 (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
such a mixture may be imported free of
antidumping duties. The merchandise
subject to this order is currently
classifiable under item 8104.30.00 of the
HTSUS. Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this order is
dispositive.
Determination
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of this antidumping duty
order would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
5 The meaning of this term is the same as that
used by the American Society for Testing and
Materials in its Annual Book of ASTM Standards:
Volume 01.02 Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys.

Background
On August 30, 2006, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published a notice of initiation of
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on Stainless
Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from
Taiwan. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 71 FR 51573 (Aug. 30, 2006). The
period of review is July 1, 2005, through

producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise to the United States.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping order within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the date of publication of the order.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further
provides, however, that the Department
may extend the 245-day period to 365
days if it determines it is not practicable
to complete the review within the
foregoing time period. We determine
that it is not practicable to complete this
administrative review within the time
limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act because we require additional
time to analyze the respondent’s cost of
production response and issue
supplemental questionnaires. Therefore,
we have fully extended the deadline for
completing the preliminary results until
July 31, 2007, which is 365 days from
the last day of the anniversary month of
the date of publication of the order. The
deadline for the final results of the
review continues to be 120 days after
the publication of the preliminary
results.
This extension notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 2, 2006, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on TRBs from
the PRC for the period June 1, 2005,
through May 31, 2006. See Antidumping
or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,
or Suspended Investigation:
Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 71 FR 32032 (June 2, 2006). On
June 30, 2006, The Timken Company
(‘‘Timken’’ or ‘‘Petitioner’’) requested
that the Department conduct an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order covering TRBs
from the PRC for entries of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported
by Chin Jun Industrial Ltd. (‘‘Chin
Jun’’), and Peer Bearing Company Changshan (‘‘CPZ’’). Additionally, on
June 30, 2006, Hebei Longsheng Metals
& Minerals Co., Ltd. (‘‘Hebei
Longsheng’’) and Yantai Timken
Company Limited (‘‘Yantai’’)
independently requested that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of their respective sales. Further,
on June 30, 2006, Koyo Corporation of
U.S.A. (‘‘Koyo’’), a U.S. producer of
TRBs, requested that the Department
conduct an administrative review of
Yantai’s sales. On July 27, 2006, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of the initiation of the
antidumping duty administrative review
of TRBs from the PRC for the period
June 1, 2005, through May 31, 2006, for
Chin Jun, CPZ, Hebei Longsheng, and
Yantai. See Initiation of Antidumping

Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 71 FR 42626 (July 27, 2006)
(‘‘Initiation Notice’’).
On August 9, 2006, the Department
issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to all of the above
respondents.
On August 28, 2006, Chin Jun
reported to the Department that it was
a dormant company during the POR and
had no sales of subject merchandise. On
September 6, 2006, Yantai withdrew its
request for review, stating that it did not
intend to participate further in the
review because of the limited value of
its exports. Also on September 6, 2006,
Hebei Longsheng submitted its Section
A response to the Department’s original
questionnaire. On September 8, 2006,
CPZ reported to the Department that it
did not intend to submit questionnaire
responses because of the limited value
of its exports. On September 29, 2006,
Hebei Longsheng withdrew its request
for review, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Notice of Intent to Rescind in Part and
Partial Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, with respect to a particular
exporter or producer, if the Secretary
concludes that, during the period
covered by the review, there were no
entries, exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise. The Department explains
this practice in the preamble to the
Department’s regulations. See
Antidumping Duties; Countervailing
Duties, 62 FR 27296, 27317 (May 19,
1997) (‘‘Preamble’’); see also Stainless
Steel Plate in Coils From Taiwan:
Preliminary Results and Rescission in
Part of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 67 FR 5789,

Steel Plate in Coils from Taiwan: Final
Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 66 FR 18610
(April 10, 2001). Because Chin Jun
reported to the Department that it was
a dormant company during the POR and
it had no sales of subject merchandise,
and we have received no evidence that
Chin Jun had any shipments to the
United States of subject merchandise
during the POR, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), the Department
preliminarily rescinds this review as to
Chin Jun.
The Department’s regulations at 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1) further provide that
the Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of
