ferrovanadium was more stable during
2010, and provides reasonable support
for AMG Vanadium’s contention that
the value of processing vanadium
pentoxide into ferrovanadium may be
considered minor or insignificant for
purposes of initiating this
anticircumvention inquiry. At the same
time, we acknowledge the Evraz Group’s
comments regarding the use of this
pricing information and an alternative,
cost-based comparison methodology for
determining whether the value of
processing vanadium pentoxide into
ferrovanadium in the United States is
minor or insignificant. We will consider
this issue further during our
anticircumvention inquiry.
With respect to the value of the
merchandise produced in Russia, AMG
Vanadium relied on the information and
arguments in the ‘‘minor or insignificant
process’’ portion of its
anticircumvention request to indicate
that the value of the Russian vanadium
pentoxide is significant relative to the
total value of finished ferrovanadium
sold in the United States. We find that
this information adequately meets the
requirements of this factor, as discussed
above.
Finally, AMG Vanadium argued that
the Department should also consider the
pattern of trade, affiliation, and
subsequent import volume as factors in
determining whether to initiate the
anticircumvention inquiry. The import
volume data submitted by AMG
Vanadium indicates that vanadium
pentoxide imports from Russia have
increased significantly in recent years,
while imports of ferrovanadium from
Russia ceased within a few years after
imposition of the antidumping duty
order. In addition, AMG Vanadium
provided information suggesting that
the Evraz Group, through its various
affiliates, is managing the importation of
vanadium pentoxide from Russia, the
processing of this vanadium pentoxide
into ferrovanadium in the United States,
and the sale of the ferrovanadium in the
United States, which together reflect an
intention to shift to the United States
completion of merchandise subject to
the order on ferrovanadium from Russia.
Accordingly, we are initiating an
anticircumvention inquiry concerning
the antidumping duty order on
ferrovanadium from Russia, pursuant to
section 781(a) of the Act. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), if the
Department issues a preliminary
affirmative determination, we will then
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to suspend liquidation and
require a cash deposit of estimated
duties, at the applicable rate, for each
unliquidated entry of the merchandise

at issue, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption on or after
the date of initiation of the inquiry.
The Department is focusing its
analysis of the significance of the
ferrovanadium production process in
the United States based on the entries of
vanadium pentoxide produced in Russia
by OAO Vanady-Tula that are imported
by or consigned to any company in the
Evraz Group, as discussed in the AMG
Request and about which sufficient
information to initiate an
anticircumvention inquiry has been
provided. If the Department receives a
request from an interested party
regarding potential circumvention by
other companies involved in processing
Russian vanadium pentoxide into
ferrovanadium in the United States
within sufficient time, we will consider
conducting the inquiries concurrently.
The Department will, following
consultation with interested parties,
establish a schedule for questionnaires
and comments on the issues. The
Department intends to issue its final
determination within 300 days of the
date of publication of this initiation
consistent with section 781(f) of the Act.
This notice is published in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(f).
Dated: May 2, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.
