Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order on silicon metal from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and of material
injury to an industry in the United
States, respectively, the Department is
publishing notice of the continuation of
the antidumping duty order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 1, 2011, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
third sunset review of the antidumping
duty order on silicon metal from the
PRC, pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’).1 The Department conducted an
expedited sunset review of the order.2
As a result of its review, the Department
found that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and, thus, notified the ITC of
the magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail if the order were revoked.3

Scope of the Order
Imports covered by this order are
shipments of silicon metal containing at
least 96.00 but less than 99.99 percent
of silicon by weight. Also covered by
this order is silicon metal from the PRC
containing between 89.00 and 96.00
percent silicon by weight but which
contains a higher aluminum content
than the silicon metal containing at least
96.00 percent but less than 99.99
percent silicon by weight. Silicon metal
is currently provided for under
subheadings 2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(HTS) as a chemical product, but is
commonly referred to as a metal.
Semiconductor-grade silicon (silicon
metal containing by weight not less than
99.99 percent of silicon and provided
for in subheading 2804.61.00 of the
HTS) is not subject to this order.
Although the HTS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.

the Act, the Department hereby orders
the continuation of the antidumping
duty order on silicon metal from the
PRC. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect
antidumping duty cash deposits at the
rates in effect at the time of entry for all
imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of continuation of
the order will be the date of publication
