Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to make a preliminary
determination within 245 days after the
last day of the anniversary month of an
order for which a review is requested
and a final determination within 120
days after the date on which the
preliminary determination is published.
If it is not practicable to complete the
review within these time periods,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows
the Department to extend the time limit
for the preliminary determination to a
maximum of 365 days after the last day
of the anniversary month.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this review within the original time
limit because we need additional time
to obtain and analyze information
regarding suspended entries of the
subject merchandise during the period
of review. Therefore, we are extending
the time period for issuing the
preliminary results of this review by 45
days until December 3, 2007.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: October 10, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 31, 2007, the Department
published the preliminary results of the
antidumping duty new shipper
administrative review of certain forged
stainless steel flanges from India. See
Preliminary Results. The review covers
Micro Forge, and the POR is February 1,
2006, through July 31, 2006. In the
Preliminary Results, we assigned Micro
Forge a margin based on adverse facts
available. We invited parties to
comment. We received no comments.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are certain forged stainless steel flanges,
both finished and not finished,
generally manufactured to specification
ASTM A–182, and made in alloys such
as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. The scope
includes five general types of flanges.
They are weld–neck, used for butt–weld
line connection; threaded, used for
threaded line connections; slip–on and
lap joint, used with stub–ends/butt–
weld line connections; socket weld,
used to fit pipe into a machined
recession; and blind, used to seal off a
line. The sizes of the flanges within the
scope range generally from one to six
inches; however, all sizes of the above–
described merchandise are included in
the scope. Specifically excluded from
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the scope of this order are cast stainless
steel flanges. Cast stainless steel flanges
generally are manufactured to
specification ASTM A–351. The flanges
subject to this order are currently
classifiable under subheadings
7307.21.10.00 and 7307.21.50.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
under review is dispositive of whether
or not the merchandise is covered by the
scope of the order.
Final Results of the Review
We determine the following
percentage weighted–average margin
exists for the period February 1, 2006,
through July 31, 2006:
Manufacturer / Exporter
Weighted Average
Margin (percentage)
Micro Forge ..................
210.00
Liquidation
The Department shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. In this
review, the Department is applying an
adverse facts available rate of 210.00
percent to Micro Forge’s U.S. sales. The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review. We will direct CBP to assess
the appropriate assessment rate (210
percent) against the entered Customs
values for the subject merchandise on
each of Micro Forge’s entries under the
relevant order during the POR.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Tariff Act): (1) for the
company named above, the cash deposit
rates will be the rate shown; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company–specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original less–than–fair–
value (LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 162.14
percent. This rate is the ‘‘All Others’’
rate from the amended final
determination in the LTFV
investigation. See Amended Final
Determination and Antidumping Duty
Order; Certain Forged Stainless Steel
Flanges From India, 59 FR 5994
(February 9, 1994). These cash deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping or countervailing duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a
violation which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

the People’s Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of the 2005/2006
New Shipper Reviews, 72 FR 28467
(May 21, 2007) (Preliminary Results).
Based on our analysis of the record,
including information obtained since
the preliminary results, we have made
changes to the margin calculations for
both Jiangxi Gangyuan Silicon Industry
Co. Ltd. (‘‘Jiangxi Gangyuan’’) and
Shanghai Jinneng International Trade
Co., Ltd.(Shanghai Jinneng’’). See Final
Results of Review section, below.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 16, 2007.

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230;
telephone: (202) 482–1386 or (202) 482–
4047, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 21, 2007, the Department
published the preliminary results of its
new shipper reviews of the antidumping
duty order on silicon metal from the
PRC, and invited parties to comment on
the preliminary results. See Preliminary
Results. The new shipper reviews cover
one exporter, Shanghai Jinneng and its
affiliated producer, Datong Jinneng
Industrial Silicon Co., Inc. (‘‘Datong
Jinneng’’), and one producer/exporter:
Jiangxi Gangyuan (hereinafter
collectively ‘‘Respondents’’). See
Preliminary Results. The period of
review (‘‘POR’’) for these new shipper
reviews is June 1, 2005, through May 31,
2006.
On June 11, 2007, we received
additional data from both Respondents
and Globe Metallurgical Inc.
(‘‘Petitioner’’) regarding factors of
production. On June 25, 2007, we
received Respondents’ case brief, and on
June 26, 2007, we received Petitioner’s
case brief. On July 2, 2007, we received
the Respondents’ rebuttal brief, and on
July 3, 2007, we received the
Petitioner’s rebuttal brief. On July 30,
2007, we held both a public and a
closed hearing, and the transcripts of
these hearings were placed on the
record on August 6, 2007.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order and
this review is silicon metal containing at
least 96.00 but less than 99.99 percent
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

of silicon by weight, and silicon metal
with a higher aluminum content
containing between 89 and 96 percent
silicon by weight. The merchandise
under investigation is currently
classifiable under item numbers
2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) as a chemical
product, but is commonly referred to as
a metal. Semiconductor–grade silicon
(silicon metal containing by weight not
less than 99.99 percent of silicon and
provided for in subheading 2804.61.00
of the HTSUS) is not subject to this
order. This order is not limited to
silicon metal used only as an alloy agent
or in the chemical industry. Although
the HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
is dispositive.
New Shipper Status
For these final results, no party has
contested the bona fides of either
Respondent’s sales, therefore we
continue to find, as in the Preliminary
Results, that both Respondents have met
the requirements to qualify as a new
shipper during the POR and that the
Respondents’ sale of silicon metal to the
United States is an appropriate
transaction for a new shipper.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from
the interested parties, we have made
changes to the margin calculation for
both Jiangxi Gangyuan and Shanghai
Jinneng.
Analysis of Comments Received
In the case and rebuttal briefs
received from the parties after the
Preliminary Results, we received
comments on several issues, including
the surrogate country selection and
surrogate values used to value (1)
electricity and (2) overhead, selling,
general and administrative expenses,
and profit . All issues raised in the case
briefs are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues raised, all of which are in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, is
attached to this notice as Appendix I.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in the briefs and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum on file in the
Central Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’), room B–
099 of the Herbert C. Hoover Building.
