The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on July 21, 2010.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce determines that certain magnesia carbon bricks (bricks) from Mexico are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less–than-fair–value (LTFV), as provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The estimated margins of sales at LTFV are shown in the ‘‘Final Determination Margins’’ section of this notice. EFFECTIVE DATE: (August 2, 2010.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 11, 2010, the Department of Commerce (Department) published in the Federal Register the preliminary determination of sales at LTFV in the antidumping duty investigation of certain magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico. See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico: Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 75 FR 11517 (March 11, 2010) (Preliminary Determination). On April 9, 2010, the Department issued a post–preliminary determination analysis for the respondent in this investigation, RHI– Refmex S.A. de C.V. (Refmex) in which the Department applied a quarterly costing methodology to recalculate the cost of production (COP). See Memorandum entitled ‘‘Cost of Production and Constructed Value Calculation Adjustments for the Post– Preliminary Analysis RHI–Refmex S.A. de C.V.,’’ dated April 7, 2010; and Memorandum entitled ‘‘Post– Preliminary Determination Analysis Utilizing Quarterly Cost Methodology for Refmex,’’ dated April 9, 2010. Based on the data and methodology described in these memoranda, we calculated a post–preliminary dumping margin for Refmex of 50.28 percent. During April and May 2010, we verified the sales and COP questionnaire responses of Refmex. During May 2010, we issued the COP, U.S. sales, and home market sales verification reports. See Memorandum to the File entitled ‘‘Verification of the Cost Response of RHI–Refmex S.A. de C.V. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico,’’ dated May 10, 2010 (CVR); Memorandum to the File entitled ‘‘Verification of the CEP Sales Response of RHI–Refmex S.A. de C.V.,’’ dated May 12, 2010 (CEPVR); and Memorandum to the File entitled ‘‘Verification of the Home Market Sales Response of RHI– Refmex S.A. de C.V.,’’ dated June 1, 2010 (HMVR). On June 8 and June 15, 2010, respectively, the petitioner in this investigation, Resco Products Inc, and Refmex each submitted case and rebuttal briefs. Period of Investigation (POI) The POI is July 1, 2008, to June 30, 2009. This period corresponds to the four most recent fiscal quarters prior to PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45097 the month of the filing of the petition. See 19 CFR 351.204(b)(1). Scope of Investigation The merchandise under investigation consists of certain chemically–bonded (resin or pitch), magnesia carbon bricks with a magnesia component of at least 70 percent magnesia (MgO) by weight, regardless of the source of raw materials for the MgO, with carbon levels ranging from trace amounts to 30 percent by weight, regardless of enhancements (for example, magnesia carbon bricks can be enhanced with coating, grinding, tar impregnation or coking, high temperature heat treatments, anti–slip treatments or metal casing) and regardless of whether or not antioxidants are present (for example, antioxidants can be added to the mix from trace amounts to 15 percent by weight as various metals, metal alloys, and metal carbides). Certain magnesia carbon bricks that are the subject of this investigation are currently classifiable under subheadings 6902.10.1000, 6902.10.5000, 6815.91.0000, 6815.99.2000, and 6815.99.40001 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description is dispositive. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by the parties to this investigation are addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Determination in the Less– Than-Fair–Value Investigation of Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico’’ from Edward C. Yang, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration (Decision Memo), dated July 26, 2010, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues that parties have raised and to which we have responded, all of which are in the Decision Memo, is attached to this notice as an appendix. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this investigation and the corresponding recommendations in the Decision Memo, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, Room 1117 of the Commerce Department. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memo 1 In the Preliminary Determination, we included HTSUS subheading 6815.99 in our description of the scope of the investigation. Subsequently, we determined that all of the ten-digit subheadings under this subheading must be used instead. Accordingly, the HTSUS ten-digit subheadings have been listed.

Columbus, Franklin County; Site 16 (74 acres, expires 9/1/2010) -- 
located at 1809 Wilson Road, Columbus, Franklin County; Site 17 (9

based on companies' needs for FTZ designation. The proposed service 
area is within and adjacent to the Columbus Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry. The grantee also proposes to retain its 
existing site (Site 2) in Lima (Allen County).
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project to include Sites 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 15 as ``magnet'' sites 
and Sites 13, 14, 16, 17 and 18 as ``usage-driven'' sites. The ASF 
allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the 
``sunset'' time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and 
the applicant proposes that Site 1 be so exempted. The applicant is 
also requesting authority to remove 193 acres of undeveloped land from 
Site 1 (Alum Creek West Industrial Park), to remove 41 acres from Site 
2, to delete Site 3 in its entirety, to remove 29 acres from Site 4, to 
remove 6 acres from Site 6, to remove 33 acres from Site 13, to remove 
20 acres from Site 14, and to delete Site 19 in its entirety. Because 
the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose 
zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 138's authorized 
subzones.
