Background
On August 2, 2010, the Department
published its affirmative final
determination in the countervailing
duty investigation of MCBs from the
PRC. See Certain Magnesia Carbon
Bricks from the People’s Republic of
China: Final Affirmative Countervailing
Duty Determination, 75 FR 45472
(August 2, 2010) (Final Determination).
On September 8, 2010, the ITC notified
the Department of its final
determination pursuant to section
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), that an industry
in the United States is materially
injured by reason of imports of
merchandise from the PRC found to be
subsidized by the Department’s final
determination. See section 705(a)(1) of
the Act; see also Final Determination. In
addition, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determination
that critical circumstances do not exist
with respect to imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC that are

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 182 / Tuesday, September 21, 2010 / Notices
subject to the Department’s affirmative
critical circumstances finding. Pursuant
to section 706(a) of the Act, the
Department is publishing a
countervailing duty order on the subject
merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes
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
order are currently classifiable under
subheadings 6902.10.1000,
6902.10.5000, 6815.91.0000,
6815.99.2000 and 6815.99.4000 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.
Countervailing Duty Order
On September 8, 2010, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination, pursuant to section
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured as a result of
subsidized imports of MCBs from the
PRC.1
As a result of the Department’s
negative preliminary determination and
subsequent affirmative final
determination, liquidation was
suspended effective the publication date
of the Final Determination. See Final
Determination, 75 FR at 45474.
In accordance with section 706 of the
Act, CBP will continue suspension of
liquidation for MCBs from the PRC, and
will assess, upon further advice by the
Department pursuant to section
706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing
duties for each entry of subject
merchandise in an amount based on the
net countervailable subsidy rates for the
subject merchandise.
On or after the date of publication of
the ITC’s final injury determination in
the Federal Register, CBP must require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
this merchandise, a cash deposit equal
to the rates noted below:

With regard to the ITC’s negative

imports of the subject merchandise from
the PRC, as noted above, we did not
instruct CBP to suspend entries and
collect a cash deposit, bond or other
security until publication of our Final
Determination on August 2, 2010.
Accordingly, with respect to
countervailing duties, there are no
entries prior to March 12, 2010, for
which CBP should lift suspension and
release any bond or other security
pursuant to the ITC’s negative critical
circumstances determination.
This notice constitutes the
countervailing duty order with respect
to MCBs from the PRC pursuant to
section 706(a) of the Act. Interested
parties may contact the Department’s
Central Records Unit, Room 1117 of the
main Commerce building, for copies of
an updated list of countervailing duty
orders currently in effect.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 705(c)(2),
706(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
