Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the

notified U.S. Customs and Border

Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries, pursuant to
section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.212(b). The Department
calculated importer- specific duty
assessment rates (or, when the importer
was unknown by the respondent,
customer–specific duty assessment
rates) on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales
observations involving each importer to
the total entered value of the examined
sales observations for that importer. The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did
not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the ‘‘All
Others’’ rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. For a discussion of this
clarification, see Notice of Policy

responsibility concerning the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 13, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated the antidumping
duty investigation of sodium metal from
France. See Sodium Metal from France:
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Investigation, 72 FR 65295
(November 20, 2007). The notice of
initiation stated that the Department
would issue its preliminary
determination for this investigation no
later than 140 days after the date of
issuance of the initiation, in accordance
with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The
preliminary determination is currently
due no later than April 1, 2008.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
On February 29, 2008, the petitioner,
E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. Inc.,
made a timely request pursuant to
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.205(b)(2) and (e) for a 50-day
postponement of the preliminary
determination. The petitioner requested
postponement of the preliminary
determination in order to allow for
additional time to evaluate the
respondent’s questionnaire response in
this investigation. Under section
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, if the petitioner
makes a timely request for an extension
of the period within which the
preliminary determination must be
made under subsection (b)(1), then the
Department may postpone making the
preliminary determination under
subsection (b)(1) until not later than the
190th day after the date on which the
administrative authority initiated the
investigation. For the reason identified
by the petitioner and because there are
no compelling reasons to deny the
request, the Department is postponing
the deadline for the preliminary
determination under section
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act by 50 days to
May 21, 2008. The deadline for the final
determination will continue to be 75
days after the date of the preliminary
determination, unless extended.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department revoked this order and notified U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discontinue suspension of
liquidation and collection of cash deposits on entries of the subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse on or after July 25,
2006, the effective date of revocation of this antidumping duty AD
order. See Revocation.
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries, pursuant to section 751(a)(1)(B) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department calculated importer-
specific duty assessment rates (or, when the importer was unknown by
the respondent, customer-specific duty assessment rates) on the basis
of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for
the examined sales observations involving each importer to the total
entered value of the examined sales observations for that importer. The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these
final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know
their merchandise was destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
``All Others'' rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a discussion of this
clarification, see Notice of Policy Concerning Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 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 duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a). Timely written notification
of the return/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 sanctionable violation.
These final results of administrative review and this notice are
issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 10, 2008.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
