DATES: Effective Date: May 8, 2015. SUMMARY: On January 30, 2015, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), covering the period May 1, 2013, through April 31, 2014.1 This review covers one PRC exporter, Tianjin Magnesium International, Co., Ltd. (‘‘TMI’’) and Tianjin Magnesium Metal, Co., Ltd. (‘‘TMM’’) (collectively ‘‘TMI/TMM’’). The Department gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Results, but we received no comments. Hence, these final results are unchanged from the Preliminary Results, and we continue to find that TMI/TMM did not have reviewable entries during the period of review (‘‘POR’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: Background On January 30, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary Results of the 1 See Pure Magnesium From the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013– 2014, 80 FR 5087 (January 30, 2015) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:38 May 07, 2015 Jkt 235001 instant review.2 TMI/TMM submitted timely-filed certifications indicating that they had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.3 In addition, in response to the Department’s query, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) did not provide any evidence that contradicted TMI/TMM’s claims of no shipments.4 The Department received no comments from interested parties concerning the results of the CBP query. Therefore, based on TMI/TMM’s certification and our analysis of CBP information, we preliminarily determined that TMI/ TMM did not have any reviewable entries during the POR.5 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.6 We received no comments from interested parties. The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Scope of the Order Merchandise covered by the order is pure magnesium regardless of chemistry, form or size, unless expressly excluded from the scope of the order. Pure magnesium is a metal or alloy containing by weight primarily the element magnesium and produced by decomposing raw materials into magnesium metal. Pure primary magnesium is used primarily as a chemical in the aluminum alloying, desulfurization, and chemical reduction industries. In addition, pure magnesium is used as an input in producing magnesium alloy. Pure magnesium encompasses products (including, but not limited to, butt ends, stubs, crowns and crystals) with the following primary magnesium contents: (1) Products that contain at least 99.95% primary magnesium, by weight (generally referred to as ‘‘ultra pure’’ magnesium); (2) Products that contain less than 99.95% but not less than 99.8% primary magnesium, by weight (generally referred to as ‘‘pure’’ magnesium); and (3) Products that contain 50% or greater, but less than 99.8% primary magnesium, by weight, and that do not conform to ASTM specifications for 2 Id. 3 See letter from TMM, ‘‘Pure Magnesium from the People’s Republic of China; A–570–832; Certification of No Sales by Tianjin Magnesium Metal, Co., Ltd.,’’ dated July 23, 2014; see also letter from TMI, ‘‘Pure Magnesium from the People’s Republic of China; A–570–832; Certification of No Sales by Tianjin Magnesium International, Co., Ltd.,’’ dated July 22, 2014. 4 See Preliminary Results, 80 FR at 5088. 5 Id. 6 Id. PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26541 alloy magnesium (generally referred to as ‘‘off-specification pure’’ magnesium). ‘‘Off-specification pure’’ magnesium is pure primary magnesium containing magnesium scrap, secondary magnesium, oxidized magnesium or impurities (whether or not intentionally added) that cause the primary magnesium content to fall below 99.8% by weight. It generally does not contain, individually or in combination, 1.5% or more, by weight, of the following alloying elements: Aluminum, manganese, zinc, silicon, thorium, zirconium and rare earths. Excluded from the scope of the order are alloy primary magnesium (that meets specifications for alloy magnesium), primary magnesium anodes, granular primary magnesium (including turnings, chips and powder) having a maximum physical dimension (i.e., length or diameter) of one inch or less, secondary magnesium (which has pure primary magnesium content of less than 50% by weight), and remelted magnesium whose pure primary magnesium content is less than 50% by weight. Pure magnesium products covered by the order are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 8104.11.00, 8104.19.00, 8104.20.00, 8104.30.00, 8104.90.00, 3824.90.11, 3824.90.19 and 9817.00.90. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope is dispositive. Final Determination of No Shipments As explained above, in the Preliminary Results, the Department found that TMI/TMM did not have reviewable entries during the POR.7 After issuing the Preliminary Results, the Department received no comments from interested parties, nor has it received any information that would cause it to revisit its preliminary results. Therefore, for these final results, the Department continues to find that TMI/ TMM did not have any reviewable entries during the POR. Assessment Rates The Department determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.8 The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the 7 See 8 See E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM Preliminary Results, 80 FR at 5088. 19 CFR 351.212(b). 08MYN1
