SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On June 1, 2010, the Department of
Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) published
a notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review for the period of
review covering June 1, 2009, through
May 31, 2010 (‘‘POR’’). See Antidumping

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,
or Suspended Investigation;
Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review, 75 FR 30383 (June 1, 2010). In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1),
Globe Metallurgical Inc. (‘‘Globe’’), a
domestic producer of silicon metal,
requested an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on silicon
metal from the PRC with respect to the
following companies: Jiangxi Gangyuan
Silicon Industry Company Ltd.
(‘‘Gangyuan’’); Shanghai Jinneng
International Trade Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai
Jinneng’’); and Zhejiang Kaihua
Yuantong Silicon Industry Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Zhejiang’’).1 No other party requested
a review. The Department published the
initiation of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on silicon
metal from the PRC on July 28, 2010, in
which the Department initiated an
administrative review of the
aforementioned three companies
covering the period June 1, 2009,
through May 31, 2010. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocations in Part, 75 FR 44224
(July 28, 2010).
On August 18, 2010, Gangyuan and
Shanghai Jinneng notified the
Department that they had no entries,
exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR. On September 20, 2010, the
Department issued a no shipments
e-mail to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) requesting
notification within 10 days of receipt of
the e-mail if CBP had information
contrary to the no shipments claims of
Gangyuan and Shanghai Jinneng. Also,
the Department conducted a CBP data
query to ascertain whether there were
entries of subject merchandise from
Gangyuan or Shanghai Jinneng. See
August 11, 2010, Memorandum from
Analyst to File entitled ‘‘2009–2010
Administrative Review of Silicon Metal
from the People’s Republic of China,
Placing CBP Data on the Record.’’ See

Protection entitled ‘‘Request for U.S.

On January 11, 2011, Globe withdrew
its request for review of Zhejiang. On
February 15, 2011, the Department

issued a memorandum of intent to
rescind the antidumping administrative
review with respect to Gangyuan and
Shanghai Jinneng and provided parties
with an opportunity to comment on the
Department’s intent to rescind the
review. See Silicon Metal From the
People’s Republic of China:

Rescission of Review
The Department may rescind an
administrative review with respect to an
exporter or producer if the Department
concludes that there were no entries,
exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). As
noted above, Gangyuan and Shanghai
Jinneng reported that they did not have
any entries of subject merchandise
during the POR. To test Gangyuan’s and
Shanghai Jinneng’s claim, the
Department examined the CBP
documentation, and found that the
record provides no information to
contradict Gangyuan’s and Shanghai
Jinneng’s claim of no sales or shipments
to the United States during the POR.
Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), since there were no
entries, export or sales of the subject
merchandise by Gangyuan and
Shanghai Jinneng during the POR, the
Department has determined to rescind
this administrative review with respect
to these two companies.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review. The Department may extend
this time limit if it decides that it is
reasonable to do so. As noted above,
Globe withdrew its request for review of
Zhejiang on January 11, 2011. While
Globe withdrew its request for an
administrative review after the 90-day
deadline, the Department has
determined that it is reasonable to
extend the time for Globe to file a
withdrawal of its request for a review of
Zhejiang because the review is not at an
advanced stage such that significant
resources have been expended in
conducting the review. Accordingly, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
we are also rescinding this review of the
antidumping duty order with respect to
Zhejiang.

Assessment
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after publication of this rescission
notice. The Department will instruct
CBP to assess antidumping duties at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i).
Notification to Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
