Background
On May 6, 2009, the Department
published its final results in the
countervailing duty administrative
review of HRCS from India covering the
POR of January 1, 2007, through
December 31, 2007 (‘‘fifth POR’’ or ‘‘fifth
administrative review’’).1 See Final
Results. In the Final Results, the
Department applied adverse facts
available (‘‘AFA’’) pursuant to sections
776(a) and (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’), in finding that
Essar used and benefited from the nine
subprograms under the State
Government of Chhattisgarh Industrial
Policy (‘‘CIP’’). See Final Results, and
accompanying I&D Memorandum at
‘‘SGOC’s Industrial Policy’’ section,
‘‘SGOC Industrial Policy 2004–2009’’
section, and Comment 2. In Essar I, the
CIT remanded this issue, explaining that
the Department’s conclusions in its July
2010 remand redetermination regarding
the fourth administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on HRCS from
India (‘‘fourth POR’’ or ‘‘fourth
administrative review’’), which found
that Essar did not benefit from the CIP,
cast ‘‘grave doubt’’ upon the
1 The administrative review covering the 2007
period is the fifth administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on HRCS from India. The
administrative review covering the 2006 period is
the ‘‘fourth’’ administrative review. See Final
Results and the accompanying I&D Memorandum at
‘‘Sale of High-Grade Iron Ore for LTAR’’ section
(referring to the 2006 administrative review as the
fourth administrative review).

Department’s findings that Essar
benefited from the CIP during the fifth
POR. See Essar I at 1300; see also Final
Results of Redetermination Pursuant to
Court Remand, in United States Steel
Corp. v. United States, CIT No., 08–239
(Department of Commerce July 15, 2010)
(‘‘Fourth Administrative Review
Redetermination’’) at 5–6, 22–23. Thus,
the CIT ordered the Department to
reopen and place on the administrative
record of the fifth administrative review
certain documents from the fourth
administrative review remand
proceeding, and to consider those
documents in its reassessment of
whether Essar benefited from the CIP.
On October 28, 2010, the Department
issued its final results of
redetermination pursuant to Essar I. The
remand redetermination explained that,
in accordance with the CIT’s order, and
under respectful protest, the Department
placed certain documents from the
fourth administrative review remand
proceeding on the record of the fifth
administrative review. In light of certain
statements by the CIT in Essar I and
those documents that the CIT ordered
the Department to place on the
administrative record, the Department
reassessed whether Essar benefited from
the CIP during the fifth POR and
determined that Essar did not benefit
from the CIP during the fifth POR. See
Remand Redetermination at 26. The
Department’s redetermination resulted
in a change to the Final Results
concerning Essar’s net subsidy rate for
the CIP from 54.69 percent to zero.
Therefore, Essar’s total net
countervailable rate from the Final
Results, 76.88 percent, decreased by
54.69 percentage points, to a total net
countervailable subsidy rate of 22.19
percent. The CIT sustained the
Department’s remand redetermination
on January 25, 2011. See Essar II.
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at
341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,
the CAFC held that, pursuant to section
516A(c) of the Act, the Department must
publish a notice of a court decision that
is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Department
determination and must suspend
liquidation of entries pending a
‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s
judgment in Essar I on January 25, 2011,
sustaining the Department’s decision in
the Remand Redetermination that Essar
did not benefit from the CIP during the
fifth POR constitutes a final decision of
that court that is not in harmony with
the Department’s Final Results. This
notice is published in fulfillment of the
publication requirements of Timken.
Accordingly, the Department will
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

continue the suspension of liquidation
of the subject merchandise pending the
expiration of the period of appeal or, if
appealed, pending a final and
conclusive court decision.
Amended Final Results
Because there is now a final court
decision, the total net countervailable
subsidy rate for Essar for the period
January 1, 2007, through December 31,
2007, is 22.19 percent. The cash deposit
rate for Essar is also 22.19 percent. The
Department will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to collect cash
deposits for Essar at the rate indicated.
In the event the CIT’s ruling is not
appealed or, if appealed, upheld by the
CAFC, the Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to assess
countervailing duties on entries of the
subject merchandise during the POR
from Essar based on the revised
assessment rates calculated by the
Department.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 516A(c),
751(a), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 7, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 21, 2011, Globe
Metallurgical Inc. (‘‘Globe’’), Petitioner,
submitted ministerial error allegations
with respect to the Final Results of the
June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009,
administrative review. On January 26,
2011, Shanghai Jinneng submitted a
letter alleging that Globe’s submission
was not timely filed and should be
rejected; it also claimed it was
prejudiced by accepting Globe’s
ministerial allegations. On January 31,
2011, Globe submitted a response to
Shanghai Jinneng’s letter.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b), on January 14, 2011, the
Department notified both parties of the
availability of disclosure documents for
pickup from the Administrative
Protective Orders (‘‘APO’’) office. See
Shanghai Jinneng’s letter dated January
26, 2011, at Exhibit 1. According to APO
office records, Mayer Brown, counsel to
Shanghai Jinneng, received the
disclosure documents on Friday,
January 14, 2011. APO records indicate
that DLA Piper, counsel to Globe,
received disclosure documents on
Tuesday, January 18, 2011, the next
business day, because Monday, January
17, 2011, was a Federal holiday. See
Memorandum to the file titled
‘‘Disclosure of Documents for Final
Results’’ dated January 28, 2011.
The Department’s regulations at 19
CFR 351.224(c)(ii) state that a party to
the proceeding must file comments
concerning ministerial errors within five
days after the date on which the
Secretary released disclosure documents
to that party. Because the Secretary
released the disclosure documents on
January 14, 2011, ministerial error
allegations were due on January 19,
2011. However, 19 CFR 351.302(b)
provides that, unless expressly
precluded by statute, the Secretary may,
for good cause, extend any time limit
established by this part.
We have determined that good cause
exists for extending the deadline set
forth in 19 CFR 351.224(c) and
accepting Globe’s ministerial error
allegations, which were filed on January
21, 2011. In its January 31, 2011 letter,
counsel for Globe states that it was not
able to receive the documents on the
day of release because it did not have
a messenger available who was
authorized to handle APO documents,
and was informed by a Department
official on Tuesday, January 18, 2011,
that the five-day period for submitting
ministerial error allegations began on
January 18, 2011. While the Department
finds that because it informed Globe
that the five-day period began on
January 18, 2011, rather than January
14, 2011, it should have informed
Shanghai Jinneng that the deadline had
been extended, we disagree with
Shanghai Jinneng that it has been
prejudiced. Shanghai Jinneng neither
submitted ministerial error allegations
nor requested that the January 19, 2011,
deadline be extended so that it could
file allegations after this deadline. In
addition, Shanghai Jinneng was able to
respond to Globe’s allegations, and did
comment on its submission on January
26, 2011. For these reasons, the
Department has determined that good
cause exists to extend the deadline and
has accepted Globe’s ministerial error
allegations.
Ministerial Errors
A ministerial error as defined in
section 751(h) of the Act includes
‘‘errors in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ See also 19 CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing Globe’s comments, we
have determined, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(e), that ministerial errors
existed in certain calculations in the
Final Results. Correction of these errors
results in a change to Shanghai
Jinneng’s final antidumping duty
margin. For a detailed discussion of
these ministerial errors, as well as the
Department’s analysis, see Final Results
of the 2008–2009 Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
for Silicon Metal from the People’s
Republic of China: Allegation of
Ministerial Errors, dated concurrently
with this notice (‘‘Ministerial Error
Memo’’). The Ministerial Error Memo is
on file in the Central Records Unit,
room 7046 in the main Department
building.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
we are amending the Final Results of the
administrative review of silicon metal
from the PRC. Listed below is the
revised weighted-average dumping
margin resulting from these amended
final results:

Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department
will determine, and U.S. Customs and

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. For assessment purposes, we
calculated importer (or customer)specific assessment rates for
merchandise subject to this review.
Where appropriate, we calculated an ad
valorem rate for each importer (or
customer) by dividing the total dumping
margins for reviewed sales to that party
by the total entered values associated

with those transactions. For dutyassessment rates calculated on this
basis, we will direct CBP to assess the
resulting ad valorem rate against the
entered customs values for the subject
merchandise. Where appropriate, we
calculated a per-unit rate for each
importer (or customer) by dividing the
total dumping margins for reviewed
sales to that party by the total sales
quantity associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates
calculated on this basis, we will direct
E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM
11FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 29 / Friday, February 11, 2011 / Notices
CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate
against the entered quantity of the
subject merchandise. Where an importer
(or customer)-specific assessment rate is
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent),
the Department will instruct CBP to
assess that importer (or customer’s)
entries of subject merchandise without
regard to antidumping duties, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of the amended final results of these
reviews.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective
retroactively on any entries made on or
after January 19, 2011, the date of
publication of the Final Results, for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
Shanghai Jinneng, the cash deposit rate
will be the amended final margin rate
shown above in the ‘‘Ministerial Errors’’
section of this notice; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the PRCwide rate of 139.49 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporters that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
These amended final results are
published in accordance with sections
751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

this review.
Scope of the Order
Merchandise covered by this order is
pure magnesium regardless of
chemistry, form or size, unless expressly
excluded from the scope of this order.
Pure magnesium is a metal or alloy
containing by weight primarily the
element magnesium and produced by
decomposing raw materials into
magnesium metal. Pure primary
magnesium is used primarily as a
chemical in the aluminum alloying,
desulfurization, and chemical reduction
industries. In addition, pure magnesium
is used as an input in producing
magnesium alloy. Pure magnesium
encompasses products (including, but
not limited to, butt ends, stubs, crowns
and crystals) with the following primary
magnesium contents:
(1) Products that contain at least
99.95% primary magnesium, by weight
(generally referred to as ‘‘ultra pure’’
magnesium);
(2) Products that contain less than
99.95% but not less than 99.8% primary
magnesium, by weight (generally
referred to as ‘‘pure’’ magnesium); and
(3) Products that contain 50% or
greater, but less than 99.8% primary
magnesium, by weight, and that do not
conform to ASTM specifications for
alloy magnesium (generally referred to
as ‘‘off-specification pure’’ magnesium).
‘‘Off-specification pure’’ magnesium is
pure primary magnesium containing
magnesium scrap, secondary
magnesium, oxidized magnesium or
impurities (whether or not intentionally
added) that cause the primary
magnesium content to fall below 99.8%
by weight. It generally does not contain,
individually or in combination, 1.5% or
more, by weight, of the following
alloying elements: Aluminum,
manganese, zinc, silicon, thorium,
zirconium and rare earths.
Excluded from the scope of this order
are alloy primary magnesium (that
meets specifications for alloy
magnesium), primary magnesium
anodes, granular primary magnesium
(including turnings, chips and powder)
having a maximum physical dimension
(i.e., length or diameter) of one inch or
less, secondary magnesium (which has
pure primary magnesium content of less
than 50% by weight), and remelted
magnesium whose pure primary
magnesium content is less than 50% by
weight.
Pure magnesium products covered by
this order are currently classifiable

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 21, 2011, Globe Metallurgical Inc. (``Globe''),
Petitioner, submitted ministerial error allegations with respect to the
Final Results of the June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009, administrative
review. On January 26, 2011, Shanghai Jinneng submitted a letter
alleging that Globe's submission was not timely filed and should be
rejected; it also claimed it was prejudiced by accepting Globe's
ministerial allegations. On January 31, 2011, Globe submitted a
response to Shanghai Jinneng's letter.
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b), on January 14, 2011, the
Department notified both parties of the availability of disclosure
documents for pickup from the Administrative Protective Orders
(``APO'') office. See Shanghai Jinneng's letter dated January 26, 2011,
at Exhibit 1. According to APO office records, Mayer Brown, counsel to
Shanghai Jinneng, received the disclosure documents on Friday, January
14, 2011. APO records indicate that DLA Piper, counsel to Globe,
received disclosure documents on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, the next
business day, because Monday, January 17, 2011, was a Federal holiday.
See Memorandum to the file titled ``Disclosure of Documents for Final
Results'' dated January 28, 2011.
The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.224(c)(ii) state that a
party to the proceeding must file comments concerning ministerial
errors within five days after the date on which the Secretary released
disclosure documents to that party. Because the Secretary released the
disclosure documents on January 14, 2011, ministerial error allegations
were due on January 19, 2011. However, 19 CFR 351.302(b) provides that,
unless expressly precluded by statute, the Secretary may, for good
cause, extend any time limit established by this part.
We have determined that good cause exists for extending the
deadline set forth in 19 CFR 351.224(c) and accepting Globe's
ministerial error allegations, which were filed on January 21, 2011. In
its January 31, 2011 letter, counsel for Globe states that it was not
able to receive the documents on the day of release because it did not
have a messenger available who was authorized to handle APO documents,
and was informed by a Department official on Tuesday, January 18, 2011,
that the five-day period for submitting ministerial error allegations
began on January 18, 2011. While the Department finds that because it
informed Globe that the five-day period began on January 18, 2011,
rather than January 14, 2011, it should have informed Shanghai Jinneng
that the deadline had been extended, we disagree with Shanghai Jinneng
that it has been prejudiced. Shanghai Jinneng neither submitted
ministerial error allegations nor requested that the January 19, 2011,
deadline be extended so that it could file allegations after this
deadline. In addition, Shanghai Jinneng was able to respond to Globe's
allegations, and did comment on its submission on January 26, 2011. For
these reasons, the Department has determined that good cause exists to
extend the deadline and has accepted Globe's ministerial error
allegations.
Ministerial Errors
A ministerial error as defined in section 751(h) of the Act
includes ``errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error
which the administering authority considers ministerial.'' See also 19
CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing Globe's comments, we have determined, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that ministerial errors existed in certain
calculations in the Final Results. Correction of these errors results
in a change to Shanghai Jinneng's final antidumping duty margin. For a
detailed discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the
Department's analysis, see Final Results of the 2008-2009
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order for Silicon Metal
from the People's Republic of China: Allegation of Ministerial Errors,
dated concurrently with this notice (``Ministerial Error Memo''). The
Ministerial Error Memo is on file in the Central Records Unit, room
7046 in the main Department building.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results of the administrative
review of silicon metal from the PRC. Listed below is the revised
weighted-average dumping margin resulting from these amended final
results:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Amended
Exporter final final
margin margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shanghai Jinneng International Trade Co., Ltd..... 3.14% 3.30%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations performed for these amended final
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice to
interested parties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department will
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For
assessment purposes, we calculated importer (or customer)-specific
assessment rates for merchandise subject to this review. Where
appropriate, we calculated an ad valorem rate for each importer (or
customer) by dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to
that party by the total entered values associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates calculated on this basis, we
will direct CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem rate against the
entered customs values for the subject merchandise. Where appropriate,
we calculated a per-unit rate for each importer (or customer) by
dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to that party by
the total sales quantity associated with those transactions. For duty-
assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct
[[Page 7813]]
CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate against the entered quantity
of the subject merchandise. Where an importer (or customer)-specific
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), the
Department will instruct CBP to assess that importer (or customer's)
entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after
publication of the amended final results of these reviews.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective
retroactively on any entries made on or after January 19, 2011, the
date of publication of the Final Results, for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Shanghai Jinneng, the cash
deposit rate will be the amended final margin rate shown above in the
``Ministerial Errors'' section of this notice; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 139.49 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements shall remain
in effect until further notice.
These amended final results are published in accordance with
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 7, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
