SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This matter arose from a challenge to the Final Results issued by 
the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') regarding the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on Silicon Metal 
from Brazil for the period of review beginning July 1, 1996, through 
June 30, 1997. See Silicon Metal from Brazil: Notice of Final Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 64 FR 6305 (February 9, 
1999) (``Final Results''). Following publication of the Final Results, 
the petitioners\1\ and the respondents Eletrosilex S.A. 
(``Eletrosilex'') and Ligas de Aluminio S.A. filed lawsuits with the 
Court of International Trade (``CIT'') challenging the Department's 
Final Results. Eletrosilex contested the Department's application of 
total adverse facts available (``AFA'') to Eletrosilex, and the 
Department's selected AFA rate of 93.20 percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The petitioners are American Silicon Technologies, Elkem 
Metals Company, Globe Metallurgical, Inc. and SKW Metals & Alloys, 
Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 17, 2000, the CIT issued its decision, remanding the Final 
Results to the Department to reconsider its determination to apply AFA 
to Eletrosilex and the rate which the Department selected as AFA. See 
American Silicon Technologies v. United States, 110 F. Supp. 2d 992, 
1004-5 (2000). On January 29, 2001, the Department submitted remand 
results to the CIT. See ``Silicon Metal From Brazil; Final Results of 
Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, Ct. No. 99-00149.'' In the 
remand results, the Department considered its determination and reached 
the same conclusions as regards applying AFA to Eletrosilex, and the 
appropriate rate to select as AFA, as it did in the Final Results.
    On October 17, 2002, the CIT issued its decision, affirming the 
Department's determination to apply AFA to Eletrosilex but remanding to 
the Department to redetermine an AFA rate. See American Silicon 
Technologies v. United States, 240 F. Supp. 2d 1306, 1313 (2002). 
Pursuant to the CIT's remand instructions, the Department submitted 
remand results to the CIT on January 22, 2003. See ``Silicon Metal From 
Brazil; Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand'' 
(``Second Remand Results''). The Department selected as AFA for 
Eletrosilex a margin of 67.93 percent, a margin calculated for another 
respondent in the administrative review of silicon metal from Brazil 
for the period July 1, 1994, through June 30, 1995. See Silicon Metal 
from Brazil, Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, 
American Silicon Technologies v. United States, Court No. 97-02-00267, 
Slip. Op. 99-34. On June 27, 2003, the CIT sustained the Second Remand 
Results. See American Silicon Technologies v. United States, 273 F. 
Supp. 2d 1342 (2003). However, on October 30, 2003, pursuant to a 
motion by Eletrosilex, the CIT stayed further action pending the 
results of litigation regarding the administrative review of silicon 
metal from Brazil for the 94/95 period of review. See American Silicon 
Technologies v. United States, 27 C.I.T. 1677; 2003 Ct. Intl. Trade 
LEXIS 147 (2003). On May 13, 2004, the CIT sustained the Department's 
remand results regarding the 94/95 period of review. See American 
Silicon Technologies v. United States, 28 C.I.T. 698; 2004 Ct. Intl. 
Trade LEXIS 49 (2004). That decision was not appealed.
    On January 27, 2010, the CIT dissolved the stay of its June 27, 
2003 judgment. As there is now a final and conclusive court decision in 
this case, we are amending our Final Results.

Amended Final Results

    As the litigation in this case has concluded, the Department is 
amending the Final Results in accordance with the CIT's decision. The 
revised dumping margin for Eletrosilex is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Manufacturer/Exporter                       Margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eletrosilex S.A.....................................              67.93%
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department intends to issue instructions to U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to liquidate all entries at the appropriate rates for 
the company listed above, 15 days after the date of publication of this 
notice.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: April 15, 2010.
