31, 2012 period of review. See Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR
13631 (February 28, 2013). The
Department examined U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) import data for
the 2012 calendar year and determined
that CTL plate produced by Severstal
accounted for substantially all (not less
than 85 percent) of the subject
merchandise imported into the United
States during the January 1, 2012
through December 31, 2012 period of
review. See Memo to the file from Anne
D’Alauro dated September 27, 2013,
with attached summary of CBP import
data for 2012. On March 14, 2013, and
May 31, 2013, the Department issued its
questionnaire and supplemental
questionnaire, respectively, to Severstal.
Severstal submitted its responses on
April 23, 2013, and June 27, 2013,
respectively.
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(C) of the Act, which specifies
that the Department shall ‘‘review the
current status of, and compliance with,
any agreement by reason of which an
investigation was suspended.’’ In this
case, the Department and Severstal
signed the Agreement, suspending the
underlying antidumping duty
investigation, on December 20, 2002.
Pursuant to the Agreement, each
signatory producer/exporter
individually agrees to make any
necessary price revisions to eliminate
completely any amount by which the
normal value (NV) of the subject
merchandise exceeds the U.S. price of
its merchandise subject to the
Agreement. See Agreement, 68 FR at
3860–61. Our review of the information
submitted by Severstal indicates that the
company has adhered to the terms of the
Agreement and that the Agreement is
functioning as intended. For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

(‘‘Department’’) initiated the second

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The antidumping duty order on
silicon metal from the Russian
Federation was published on March 26,
2003.2
On June 3, 2013, the Department
initiated the second sunset review of
this order, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’).3 On June 13, 2013, the
Department received a timely notice of
intent to participate in this sunset
review from a domestic interested party,
Globe Metallurgical Inc. (Globe),
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1). Globe
claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a
manufacturer in the United States of the
domestic like product and as a
petitioner in the investigation.
On July 3, 2013, the Department
received an adequate substantive
response in this sunset review from
Globe within the 30-day deadline in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did
not receive a substantive response from
any respondent interested party in this
sunset review. 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 determined to conduct an
expedited sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on silicon
metal from Russia.
As a result of this sunset review, the
Department finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty order is likely to lead
to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the rates indicated in the
‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
silicon metal, which generally contains
at least 96.00 percent but less than 99.99
percent silicon by weight. The
merchandise covered by this order also
includes silicon metal from Russia
containing between 89.00 and 96.00
percent silicon by weight, but
containing more aluminum than the
silicon metal which contains at least

the United States (HTSUS). This order
covers all silicon metal meeting the
above specification, regardless of tariff
