Background
At the request of interested parties,
the Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on polyethylene retail carrier bags from
Thailand for the period August 1, 2009,
through July 31, 2010. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 60076
(September 29, 2010). The preliminary
results of this administrative review are
currently due no later than May 3, 2011.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to complete the
preliminary results within 245 days
after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order for which a review
is requested and the final results within
120 days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published in the
Federal Register. If it is not practicable
to complete the review within these
time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the preliminary results to
a maximum of 365 days after the last
day of the anniversary month.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this review by the current deadline of
May 3, 2011, because we require
additional time to analyze complex cost
issues raised by the petitioner in this
administrative review. Therefore, in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), we
are extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of this review by
15 days to May 18, 2011.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Republic of China: Final Results of
Expedited Sunset Review of
Antidumping Duty Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On January 3, 2011, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated the third sunset
review of the antidumping duty order
on paper clips from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Based on the
notice of intent to participate and
adequate substantive response filed by a
domestic interested party, and the lack
of response from any respondent
interested party, the Department
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on paper clips from the PRC,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).
As a result of this sunset review, the
Department finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, at the levels indicated in the
‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this
notice, infra.
DATES: Effective Date: May 6, 2011.

deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). ACCO claimed
interested parties status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, as a producer in the
United States of a domestic like
product. On February 2, 2011, the
Department received a complete and
adequate substantive response from
ACCO within 30 days of publication of
the initiation. The Department did not
receive a response from any respondent
interested parties to this proceeding. As
a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on paper clips from the PRC.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain paper clips, wholly of wire of
base metal, whether or not galvanized,
whether or not plated with nickel or
other base metal (e.g., copper), with a
wire diameter between 0.025 inches and
0.075 inches (0.64 to 1.91 millimeters),
regardless of physical configuration,
except as specifically excluded. The
products subject to the order may have
a rectangular or ring-like shape and
include, but are not limited to, clips
commercially referred to as No. 1 clips,
No. 3 clips, Jumbo or Giant clips, Gem
clips, Frictioned clips, Perfect Gems,
Marcel Gems, Universal clips, Nifty
clips, Peerless clips, Ring clips, and
Glide-On clips. The products subject to
the order are currently classifiable
under subheading 8305.90.3010 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).
Specifically excluded from the scope
of the order are plastic and vinyl
covered paper clips, butterfly clips,
binder clips, or other paper fasteners
that are not made wholly of wire of base
metal and are covered under a separate
subheading of the HTSUS.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
A complete discussion of all issues
raised in this sunset review is provided
in the accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum (‘‘I&D Memo’’),
dated concurrently with this notice. The
issues discussed in the I&D Memo
include the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping and the

revocation of the antidumping duty
order on paper clips from the PRC
would be likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping at the
following weighted-average margins:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 25, 2011, AMG
Vanadium submitted a request that the
Department initiate an
anticircumvention inquiry (AMG
Request), pursuant to section 781(a) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), and 19 CFR 351.225(c) and (g), to
determine whether imports of vanadium
pentoxide from Russia that is processed
into ferrovanadium in the United States
are circumventing the antidumping duty
order on ferrovanadium from Russia.
Specifically, AMG Vanadium alleges
that the Evraz Group 1 is importing
vanadium pentoxide, an intermediate
product used in the production of
ferrovanadium, from its Russian affiliate
OAO Vanady-Tula. The imported
vanadium pentoxide is then tollconverted into ferrovanadium in the
United States by an unaffiliated
processor (which never takes title), prior
to sale in the United States. AMG
Vanadium alleges that this trade pattern
is circumventing the antidumping duty
order within the meaning of section
781(a) of the Act.
AMG Vanadium further claims that:
(1) The ferrovanadium sold in the
United States is of the same class or
kind of merchandise as the
ferrovanadium that is subject to the
order; (2) the ferrovanadium is
1 The Evraz Group includes OAO Vanady-Tula,
East Metals S.A., and East Metals N.A.

completed or assembled in the United
States from parts or components
produced in Russia; (3) the process of
converting vanadium pentoxide to
ferrovanadium in the United States is
minor or insignificant; and (4) the value
of the Russian vanadium pentoxide
constitutes a significant portion of the
value of the finished ferrovanadium
sold in the United States. Accordingly,
AMG Vanadium requests that the
Department include within the scope of
the ferrovanadium order vanadium
pentoxide manufactured in Russia,
regardless of form, that is produced,
exported, or imported by the Evraz
Group or any of its affiliates.
In response to the Department’s
March 9, 2011, request, on March 16,
2011, AMG Vanadium provided
additional information pertinent to its
anticircumvention inquiry request
(March 16 Submission).
On March 25, 2011, the Evraz Group
filed comments opposing AMG
Vanadium’s circumvention allegation
on the grounds that the Department is
legally precluded from including
vanadium pentoxide in the scope of the
order. The Evraz Group included in its
submission calculations performed
using a cost-based methodology, as an
alternative to the value-based
methodology used by AMG Vanadium,
arguing that AMG Vandium’s approach
leads to misleading results. Between
April 1 and 22, 2011, AMG Vanadium
and the Evraz Group submitted
additional comments with respect to
whether the Department should initiate
this anticircumvention inquiry. The
Department met with representatives of
AMG Vanadium and the Evraz Group on
March 3, and April 5, 2011,
respectively, to discuss the request.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping duty order are
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium,
regardless of grade, chemistry, form or
size, unless expressly excluded from the
scope of this order. Ferrovanadium
