hunting, fishing, and wildlife watching
activities. The mail operation will
include three panels. The first panel
will receive a letter and a selfadministered paper pre-screener
questionnaire. The letter will ask a
household member to complete the
paper questionnaire and to return it by
mail to the Census Bureau. The second
panel will receive a letter with an
Internet invitation for a household
member to complete the pre-screener on
the Internet. The third panel will
receive a letter, paper questionnaire,
and information on how to complete an
interview by Internet. In this panel, the
household member is given a choice for
conducting the pre-screener by paper or
by Internet. We estimate that both the
paper and Internet pre-screener will
take approximately 5 minutes to
complete. If a household does not
complete the pre-screener in the
requested time frame, we will mail up
to two additional packages (that include
the same materials as the initial mailing)
requesting the household’s
participation. The sample size for each
of the panels will be 5,000 sample
households.
The second part of the test is a
telephone follow-up operation in which
we will verify that the phone numbers
collected from the mail and Internet prescreener either reached, or did not
reach, the sample addresses. This
telephone interview will last
approximately 2 minutes.
Since our methodology for reaching
our sample addresses by telephone for
the 2011 FHWAR yielded poor results,
we need to research and analyze
alternative methods to help us obtain
household phone numbers for the 2016
FHWAR. If we find a methodology that
is successful, we will use the results
internally to determine the percentage
of pre-screeners needed to obtain the
2016 FHWAR sample workload.

households.

On February 27, 2013, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) published the
Preliminary Results of the 2011–2012
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on silicon
metal from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’).1 The period of review
(‘‘POR’’) is June 1, 2011, through May
31, 2012. In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that the sole company under
review, Shanghai Jinneng International
Trade Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Jinneng’’),
did not have any reviewable
transactions during the POR. We gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results,
but none were received. In these final
results of review, we continue to find
that Shanghai Jinneng did not have any
reviewable transactions during the POR.
DATES: Effective Date: May 20, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
On February 27, 2013, the Department
published the Preliminary Results. We
invited interested parties to submit
comments on the Preliminary Results,
but none were received. The
Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).
Scope of the Order
Imports covered by the order are
shipments of silicon metal containing at
least 96.00 but less than 99.99 percent
of silicon by weight. Also covered by
the order is silicon metal from the PRC
containing between 89.00 and 96.00
percent silicon by weight but which
contain 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 of
the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) as a
chemical product, but is commonly
referred to as a metal. Semiconductorgrade silicon (silicon metal containing
by weight not less than 99.99 percent of
silicon and provided for in subheading
2804.61.00 of the HTSUS) is not subject

to the order. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and for customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise, as set forth in the order,
is dispositive.2
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we
preliminarily determined that Shanghai
Jinneng did not have any reviewable
transactions during the POR. Shanghai
Jinneng submitted a timely-filed
certification that it had no sales of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.3 Consistent with
the Department’s assessment practice in
non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) cases, we
stated in the Preliminary Results that
the Department would not rescind the
review in these circumstances but,
rather, would complete the review with
respect to Shanghai Jinneng and issue
appropriate instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
based on the final results of the review.
As stated above, we did not receive any
comments on our Preliminary Results
nor did we receive information from
CBP indicating that there were
reviewable transactions from Shanghai
Jinneng during the POR. Therefore, we
continue to determine that Shanghai
Jinneng had no reviewable transactions
of subject merchandise during the POR.
Consistent with our ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ clarification, the
Department will issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on our final
results.4
Assessment
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review. The Department recently
announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in NME cases.5
Pursuant to this refinement in practice,
if the Department determines that an
exporter under review had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered
under that exporter’s case number (i.e.,
at that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated
at the NME-wide rate.6

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 Shanghai
Jinneng, which claimed no shipments,
the cash deposit rate will remain
unchanged from the rate assigned to the
company in the most recently
completed review of the company; (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
PRC and non-PRC exporters who are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but who 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 that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 139.49
percent; 7 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 exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to the administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
notification of the destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
