srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of
these reviews. For assessment purposes,
we calculated exporter/importer- (or
customer) specific assessment rates for
merchandise subject to this review.91
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
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. We intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate entries
containing subject merchandise
exported by the PRC-wide entity at the
PRC-wide rate we determine in the final
results of this review.
For Muzi Carbon, a company
receiving a separate rate that was not
selected for individual review, we will
calculate an assessment rate based on
the weighted average of the cash deposit
rates calculated for the companies
selected for individual review
consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of
the Act. Where the weighted average ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties. See 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2).
Cash-Deposit Requirements
The following cash-deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
Fangda Group, Fushun Jinly, and Muzi
Carbon the cash deposit rate will be
91 See
19 CFR. 351.212(b)(1).

Jkt 223001
their respective rates established in the
final results of this review, except if the
rate is zero or de minimis no cash
deposit will be required; (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 159.64 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 nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under section
351.402(f) of the Department’s
regulations 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 antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This administrative review and this
notice are in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and
sections 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4) of
the Department’s regulations.
Dated: February 28, 2011.

domestic producer of silicon metal,
requested an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on silicon

entries of subject merchandise from
Gangyuan or Shanghai Jinneng. See
