Background
On June 1, 2007, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on silicon
metal from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’) for the period of review
(‘‘POR’’) June 1, 2006, through May 31,
2007. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 72
FR 30542 (June 1, 2007). On July 2,
2007, Globe Metallurgical Inc.
(‘‘Petitioner’’), requested that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of 18 companies (collectively,
‘‘Respondents’’). On August 6, 2007, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of an antidumping duty
administrative review on silicon metal
from the PRC, in which it initiated a
review of these Respondents. See Notice
of Initiation of the Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Silicon Metal from the People’s
Republic of China, 72 FR 43597 (August
6, 2007) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’).
On March 7, 2008, we preliminarily
rescinded this review for certain
companies based on evidence on the
record indicating that there were no
entries into the United States, and

to other companies which did not

Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
silicon metal containing at least 96.00
but less than 99.99 percent of silicon by
weight, and silicon metal with a higher
aluminum content containing between
89 and 96 percent silicon by weight.
The subject merchandise 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 subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Period of Review
The POR is June 1, 2006, through May
31, 2007.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in Petitioner’s April
8, 2008 case brief are addressed in the
Silicon Metal from the People’s
Republic of China: Issues and Decision

the 2006–2007 Administrative Review

hereby adopted by this notice. A list of
the issues raised, all of which are
addressed in the I&D Memo, is attached

Final Rescission of Review
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department issued a notice of intent to
rescind this administrative review with
respect to certain companies, as Jiangxi
Gangyuan Silicon Industry
(‘‘Gangyuan’’); MPM Silicones, LLC
(‘‘MPM’’); GE Silicones Canada (‘‘GE
Silicones’’); Global Minerals Corp.
(‘‘GMC’’); Transtrading House Ltd.
(‘‘Transtrading’’); Lorbec Metals Ltd.
(‘‘Lorbec’’); Carbonsi Mettalurgical Inc.
(‘‘Carbonsi’’); Crown All Corporation
(‘‘Crown All’’); Ferro–Alliages&
Mineraux Inc. (‘‘Ferro–Alliages’’);
Chemical & Alloy Inc. (‘‘C&A’’);
IMMECC Resources Inc. (‘‘IMMECC’’);
and Bomet (Canada) Inc. (‘‘Bomet’’),
each certified that they did not export
silicon metal from China to the United
States during the POR. See Preliminary
Results, 73 FR 12378. Subsequent to the
Preliminary Results, Petitioners again
claimed that record evidence indicated
that Ferro–Alliages may have
transshipped silicon metal to the United
States through Canada that originated in
China.1 See Petitioner Case Brief at 1–
12. Petitioner requested that, given these
allegations, the Department should
investigate whether Ferro–Alliages
accurately reported the country of origin
of the silicon metal that it shipped to
the United States during the POR. For
these final results, however, we have
determined not to further investigate
alleged Ferro–Alliages exports of PRC–
origin silicon metal, as CBP data
indicate that no entries exist for PRC–
origin silicon metal exported to the
United States by Ferro–Alliages. In
addition, as this is an administrative
review, not a circumvention or scope
inquiry, we find that this is not the
proper proceeding to pursue Petitioner’s
claims.
Because there is no information on
the record which indicates that
Gangyuan; MPM; GE Silicones; GMC;
Transtrading; Lorbec; Carbonsi; Crown
All; Ferro–Alliages; C&A; IMMECC; and
Bomet made sales to the United States
of subject merchandise during the POR,
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3) and consistent with our
practice, we are rescinding this review
1 Petitioner first raised the issue of alleged
transshipment by Ferro–Alliages in its November
13, 2007, submission to the Department. See
Petitioner’s November 13, 2007, submission, at page
1. The Department addressed these allegations in its
Preliminary Results. See Preliminary Results, 73 FR
at 12379.

Administrative Review, 71 FR 26041,

In addition, in the Preliminary
Results, the Department indicated that it
was unable to directly serve Global
Minerals (Canada), SeaView Trading, or
Coldstone with its Q&V questionnaire.
See Memorandum to the File from
Kristina Horgan, Senior International
Trade Analyst, AD/CVD Operations,
Office 9, regarding ‘‘Antidumping Duty

regarding ‘‘Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Silicon Metal
from the People’s Republic of China:
Record of Mailings to Coldstone Metals
Inc.,’’ dated November 20, 2007
(‘‘Coldstone Memo’’).
In its April 8, 2008, case brief,
Petitioners requested that the
Department apply adverse facts
available (‘‘AFA’’) to Coldstone for not
responding to the Department’s initial
August 24, 2007 Q&V questionnaire.
The Department finds that we cannot
penalize Coldstone for not responding
to the Department’s second Q&V letter,
as the Department was unable to inform
the party of the nature of the deficiency
on the record. See I&D Memo, at
Comment 2. Therefore, the Department
is rescinding the review with respect to
Coldstone, Global Minerals (Canada)
and SeaView Trading, in accordance
with our practice. See, e.g., Certain Steel
Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Turkey:

Review in Part, 71 FR 65082, 65083
(November 7, 2006).Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and the PRC–Wide
Rate
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department found that Hunan
Provincial Import & Export Group Co
(PRC) (‘‘Hunan Provincial’’), Gather
Hope Int’l Co., Ltd. (‘‘Gather Hope’’),
and Alloychem Impex Corp.
(‘‘Alloychem’’) ceased participating in
the administrative review, as the
companies did not respond to the
Department’s requests for Q&V
information. As noted in the
Preliminary Results, the Department
found that Hunan Provincial, Gather
Hope, and Alloychem did not establish
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:22 Aug 08, 2008
Jkt 214001
their eligibility for separate rate status,
and thus such entities are deemed part
of the PRC–wide entity. As the
Department found that the PRC–wide
entity failed to cooperate to the best of
its ability in responding to the
Department’s requests for information,
the Department assigned the PRC–wide
entity a rate based on AFA. The
Department did not receive comments
prior to these final results regarding the
Department’s preliminary application of
AFA to the PRC–wide entity.
Therefore, for these final results, the
Department has not altered its decision
from the Preliminary Results to apply
total AFA to the PRC–wide entity
accordance with sections 776(a)(2)(A)
and (B) and section 776(b) of the Act,
and has assigned an AFA rate of 139.49
percent. See Preliminary Results at
12381.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following
antidumping duty margin exists for the
period June 1, 2006, through May 31,
2007:

The PRC–Wide Entity includes Hunan
Provincial, Gather Hope, and Alloychem.
Assessment Rates
The Department will instruct Customs
Border Patrol (‘‘CBP’’) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. For those companies for which
this review has been rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(I). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded, as of the publication
date of this notice, 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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.

(August 6, 2007) (``Initiation Notice'').
On March 7, 2008, we preliminarily rescinded this review for
certain companies based on evidence on the record indicating that there
were no entries into the United States, and applied adverse facts
available (``AFA'') to other companies which did not respond to our
quantity and value (``Q&V'') questionnaire. See Silicon Metal From The
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Preliminary Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 12378
(March 7, 2008) (``Preliminary Results''). We invited interested
parties to submit comments on our Preliminary Results. We received a
case brief from Petitioner on April 8, 2008 (``Petitioner Case
