SUMMARY: On December 3, 2007, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on ferrovanadium from the People(s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) and the Republic of South Africa (‘‘South Africa’’), pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’).

Based on the notices of intent to participate and adequate responses filed by the domestic interested parties, and the lack of response from any respondent interested party, the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of the PRC Order and South Africa Order pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department finds that revocation of either the PRC Order or the South Africa Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset Reviews’’ section of this notice, infra. EFFECTIVE DATE: April 9, 2008. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:06 Apr 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Juanita H.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 3, 2007, the Department initiated sunset reviews of the PRC Order and South Africa Order on ferrovanadium pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Sunset Initiations. On December 18, 2007, the Department received timely notices of intent to participate in both sunset reviews (as joint submissions) from the Vanadium Producers and Reclaimers Association (‘‘VPRA’’), and its members Gulf Chemical & Metallurgical Corporation (‘‘Gulf’’), Gulf(s wholly owned subsidiary Bear Metallurgical Company (‘‘Bear Metallurgical’’), Metallurg Vanadium Corporation (‘‘MVC’’), and Strategic Minerals Corporation (on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Stratcor, Inc.) (‘‘Stratcor’’) (collectively ‘‘Domestic Producers’’), pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 351.218(d)(1)(i). In accordance with 19 C.F.R. 351.218(d)(1)(ii)(A), VPRA claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(E) of the Act as a trade or business association, a majority of whose members produce or wholesale a domestic like product in the United States. Gulf, Bear Metallurgical, MVC, and Stratcor claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as domestic producers and/or wholesalers of subject merchandise. On January 2, 2008, Domestic Producers jointly filed substantive responses in both sunset reviews, within the 30-day deadline as specified in 19 C.F.R. 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party in either sunset review. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of the PRC Order and the South Africa Order. SCOPE OF THE ORDERS The scope of the orders covers all ferrovanadium regardless of grade, chemistry, form, shape, or size. Ferrovanadium is an alloy of iron and vanadium that is used chiefly as an additive in the manufacture of steel. The merchandise is commercially and scientifically identified as vanadium. The scope specifically excludes vanadium additives other than ferrovanadium, such as nitrided PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 vanadium, vanadium–aluminum master alloys, vanadium chemicals, vanadium oxides, vanadium waste and scrap, and vanadium–bearing raw materials such as slag, boiler residues and fly ash. Merchandise under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) item numbers 2850.00.2000, 8112.40.3000, and 8112.40.6000 are specifically excluded. Ferrovanadium is classified under HTSUS item number 7202.92.00. Although the HTSUS item number is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the Department(s written description of the scope of these orders remains dispositive. ANALYSIS OF COMMENTS RECEIVED A complete discussion of all issues raised in these sunset reviews is addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. See ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results in the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Ferrovanadium from the People(s Republic of China and from the Republic of South Africa,’’ from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated April 1, 2008 (‘‘I&D Memo’’). The issues discussed in the accompanying I&D Memo include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the dumping margin likely to prevail if either the PRC Order or the South Africa Order were revoked. Parties can obtain a public copy of the I&D Memo on file in the Central Records Unit, room 1117, of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete public version of the I&D Memo can be accessed directly on the Web at https:// ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and electronic version of the I&D Memo are identical in content. FINAL RESULTS OF SUNSET REVIEWS The Department determines that revocation of the PRC Order on ferrovanadium would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the rates listed below: Manufacturers/Exporters/Producers Pangang Group International Economic & Trading Corporation .. PRC–Wide Entity .......... Weighted–Average Margin (Percent) 12.97% 66.71% The Department determines that revocation of the South Africa Order on ferrovanadium would likely lead to E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1

Order No. 1554


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, MPM Silicones, LLC 
(Silicone-Based Products and Intermediaries), Waterford, New York

     Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
    Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ''...the 
establishment... of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the United 
States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for other 
purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant to 
qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
cannot serve the specific use involved, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Capital District Regional Planning Commission, grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 121, has made application to the Board for 
authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the silicone-based 
products and intermediaries manufacturing and warehousing facility of 
MPM Silicones, LLC located in Waterford, New York (FTZ Docket 4-2007, 
filed 2-2-07);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 6518, 2/12/07; 72 FR 16764, 4-5-07; 72 FR 24272, 5-2-
07; 72 FR 53989, 9-21-07) and a public hearing was held on 4-18-07; 
and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest if subject to the 
restrictions and limitations listed below;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to silicone-based products and 
intermediaries manufacturing at the facility of MPM Silicones, LLC, 
located in Waterford, New York (Subzone 121C), as described in the 
application and Federal Register notice, and subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28, and subject to the 
following restrictions and limitations:
    1. Silicon metal subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty 
order that is admitted into the subzone in foreign status must 
ultimately be re-exported (regardless of whether it has been 
manufactured into a downstream product).
    2. Admission of foreign-status silicon metal subject to an 
antidumping or countervailing duty order is limited to 10,000 metric 
tons per year.
    3. Approval is for an initial period of five-years, subject to 
extension upon review.
