evidence other than factual information
described in (i)–(iv). The final rule
requires any party, when submitting
factual information, to specify under
which subsection of 19 CFR
351.102(b)(21) the information is being
submitted and, if the information is
submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct
factual information already on the
record, to provide an explanation
identifying the information already on
the record that the factual information
seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The
final rule also modified 19 CFR 351.301
so that, rather than providing general
time limits, there are specific time limits
based on the type of factual information
being submitted. These modifications
are effective for all proceeding segments
initiated on or after May 10, 2013, and
thus are applicable to this investigation.
Interested parties should review the
final rule, available at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/
1304frn/2013-08227.txt prior to
submitting factual information in this
investigation.
Revised Extension of Time Limits
Regulation
On September 20, 2013, the
Department modified its regulation
concerning the extension of time limits
for submissions in AD and CVD
proceedings.46 The modification
clarifies that parties may request an
extension of time limits before a time
limit established under 19 CFR part 351
expires, or as otherwise specified by the
Secretary. In general, an extension
request will be considered untimely if it
is filed after the time limit established
under Part 351 expires. For submissions
which are due from multiple parties
simultaneously, an extension request
will be considered untimely if it is filed
after 10:00 a.m. on the due date.
Examples include but are not limited to:
(1) Case and rebuttal briefs, filed
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual
information to value factors under 19
CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the
adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR
351.511(a)(2) filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification
and correction information filed
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3)
comments concerning the selection of a
surrogate country and surrogate values
and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
data; and (5) quantity and value
questionnaires. Under certain
circumstances, the Department may
elect to specify a different time limit by
which extension requests will be

considered untimely for submissions
which are due from multiple parties
simultaneously. In such a case, the
Department will inform parties in a
letter or memorandum setting forth the
deadline (including a specified time) by
which extension requests must be filed
to be considered timely. This
modification also requires that an
extension request be made in a separate,
stand-alone submission, and clarifies
the circumstances under which the
Department will grant untimely-filed
requests for the extension of time limits.
These modifications are effective for all
segments initiated on or after October
21, 2013, and thus are applicable to this
investigation. Interested parties should
review Extension of Time Limits; Final
Rule, available at https://www.gpo.gov/
fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/201322853.htm, prior to submitting requests
to extend time limits in this
investigation.
Certification Requirements
Any party submitting factual
information in an AD or CVD
proceeding must certify to the accuracy
and completeness of that information.47
Parties are hereby reminded that revised
certification requirements are in effect
for company/government officials, as
well as their representatives.
Investigations initiated on the basis of
petitions filed on or after August 16,
2013, and other segments of any AD or
CVD proceedings initiated on or after
August 16, 2013, should use the formats
for the revised certifications provided at
the end of the Final Rule.48 The
Department intends to reject factual
submissions if the submitting party does
not comply with the applicable revised
certification requirements.
Notification to Interested Parties
Interested parties must submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders
(‘‘APO’’) in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305. On January 22, 2008, the
Department published Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:

Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation covers all
forms, sizes and compositions of
silicomanganese, except low-carbon
silicomanganese, including silicomanganese
briquettes, fines, and slag. Silicomanganese is
a ferroalloy composed principally of
manganese, silicon, and iron, and normally
contains much smaller proportions of minor
elements, such as carbon, phosphorus, and
sulfur. Silicomanganese is sometimes
referred to as ferrosilicon manganese.
Silicomanganese generally contains by
weight not less than 4 percent iron, more
than 30 percent manganese, more than 8
percent silicon and not more than 0.2 percent
phosphorus. Silicomanganese is properly
classifiable under subheading 7202.30.0000
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).
Low-carbon silicomanganese is excluded
from the scope of this investigation. It is
sometimes referred to as ferromanganesesilicon. The low-carbon silicomanganese
excluded from this investigation is a
ferroalloy with the following chemical
specifications by weight: minimum 55
percent manganese, minimum 27 percent
silicon, minimum 4 percent iron, maximum
0.10 percent phosphorus, maximum 0.10
percent carbon, and maximum 0.05 percent
sulfur. Low-carbon silicomanganese is
classifiable under HTSUS subheading
7202.30.0000.
The HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes. The
written description of the scope is
dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 7, 2014, the Department

accordance with section 751 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
are HSLWs. The product is currently
classified under subheading

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we made revisions that have
changed the results for Jiangsu RC.
These changes include changes to the
valuation of certain factors of
production and calculation
programming changes. For further
details on the changes we made for
these final results, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
PRC-Wide Rate and PRC-Wide Entity
For the Preliminary Results, the
Department assigned to the PRC-wide
entity the rate of 128.63 percent, the rate
determined for the PRC-wide entity in
this proceeding.4 Based on comments
from interested parties in this
administrative review, as discussed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
we have calculated a final margin for
Jiangsu RC of 192.88 percent, which is
also the new rate for the PRC-wide
entity.5
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department determined that Guoxin,
which ceased participating in this
review, did not demonstrate its
eligibility for a separate rate and,
therefore, Guoxin is part of the PRC3 On

wide entity. No party commented on
this finding. For the final results, we
have continued to treat Guoxin as part
of the PRC-wide entity.
In the Preliminary Results we also
determined that, while the request for
review had been timely withdrawn for
Winnsen, Winnsen did not have a
separate rate prior to the Preliminary
Results. Accordingly, the Department
did not rescind the review with respect
to Winnsen and it remained part of the
PRC-wide entity, which remained under
review.6 No party commented on this
finding. For the final results, we
continue to treat Winnsen as part of the
PRC-wide entity.

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. For customers or importers of
Jiangsu RC for which we do not have
entered value, we calculated customer/importer-specific antidumping duty
assessment amounts based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping duties
calculated for the examined sales of
subject merchandise to the total sales
quantity of those same sales.7 For

antidumping duty assessment rates
based on customer/importer-specific ad
valorem rates in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).
The Department announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in
NME cases.8 Pursuant to this refinement
in practice, for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, including,
in this case, Guoxin and Winnsen, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the revised
PRC-wide rate of 192.88 percent. In
addition, for companies for which the
Department determined that the
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 PRC-wide rate.
We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon

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 subject merchandise
exported by the companies listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in these final results of review for each
exporter as listed above; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate; (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 that for the PRC-wide entity; (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 that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification
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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Timely written notification of the return
or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
These final results of review are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the
Act.

eligibility for a separate rate and, therefore, Guoxin is part of the
PRC-wide entity. No party commented on this finding. For the final
results, we have continued to treat Guoxin as part of the PRC-wide
entity.
In the Preliminary Results we also determined that, while the
request for review had been timely withdrawn for Winnsen, Winnsen did
not have a separate rate prior to the Preliminary Results. Accordingly,
the Department did not rescind the review with respect to Winnsen and
it remained part of the PRC-wide entity, which remained under
review.\6\ No party commented on this finding. For the final results,
we continue to treat Winnsen as part of the PRC-wide entity.

Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
the Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review. For customers or importers of Jiangsu RC for
which we do not have entered value, we calculated customer-/importer-
specific antidumping duty assessment amounts based on the ratio of the
total amount of dumping duties calculated for the examined sales of
subject merchandise to the total sales quantity of those same sales.\7\
For customers or importers of Jiangsu RC for which we received entered-
value
[[Page 13835]]
information, we have calculated customer/importer-specific antidumping
duty assessment rates based on customer/importer-specific ad valorem
rates in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in
NME cases.\8\ Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for entries that
were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this review, including, in this case,
Guoxin and Winnsen, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the revised PRC-wide rate of 192.88 percent. In addition,
for companies for which the Department determined that the 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 PRC-wide rate.

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of 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 subject merchandise exported by the
companies listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in these final results of review for each
exporter as listed above; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed
PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate; (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 that for the PRC-wide
entity; (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 that supplied that non-PRC exporter.
These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notification
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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
These final results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: March 9, 2015.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
