SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On August 3, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative Review’’ of the antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from Ukraine for the period of review (POR), August 1, 2014, through July 31, 2015.1 On September 3, 2015, we received an untimely-filed request 2 for an administrative review from two Ukrainian producers and/or exporters of silicomanganese, JSC Zaporizhya Ferroalloy Plant (ZFP) and JSC Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant (NFP), requesting an administrative review of exports of subject merchandise for the period of September 1, 2014, through August 31, 2015. On September 21, 2015, we received comments from a domestic interested party, Eramet Marietta, Inc. (Eramet), objecting to initiation and placing on the record certain import statistics stating that 1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 80 FR 45952 (August 3, 2015) (August 2015 Opportunity Notice). 2 The Ukrainian producers’ September 3, 2015, request for an administrative review was untimely under 19 CFR 351.213(b) and 19 CFR 351.302(d) because we did not receive it during the anniversary month of August 2015, as required by the regulations and specified in the August 2015 Opportunity Notice. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 22211 there were no entries of subject merchandise from Ukraine during the period of review. On October 6, 2015, the Department initiated the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from Ukraine with respect to ZFP and NFP for the POR, August 1, 2014, through July 31, 2015,3 notwithstanding the untimely nature of the Ukrainian producers’ request for review. In accordance with our practice, we requested information from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) concerning imports of subject merchandise from these companies during the POR. We received the requested CBP information, which showed that neither ZFP nor NFP had suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR. On October 6, 2015, we documented this finding and invited comments from interested parties regarding this CBP query result.4 On October 19, 2015, we received comments from domestic interested parties, Eramet and Felman Production, LLC (collectively, U.S. producers). On October 20, 2015, we received comments from ZFP and NFP (Ukrainian producers). ZFP’s and NFP’s October 20, 2015, submission contained documentation establishing that both companies made both a sale and an entry of subject merchandise in August 2015. Because there is no evidence that there were entries of subject merchandise into the United States from Ukraine during the POR, on November 17, 2015, the Department placed a memorandum on the record notifying interested parties of its intent to rescind the 2014–2015 administrative review of silicomanganese from Ukraine, and invited comments.5 In its November 17, 2015, memorandum, the Department rejected the Ukrainian producers’ arguments that the Department provided defective or inadequate notice concerning the correct anniversary month of the antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from Ukraine, and found no basis to alter the POR to capture the Ukrainian producers’ entries 3 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 60356 (October 6, 2015). 4 See Memorandum to the File, ‘‘Silicomanganese from Ukraine—U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Data’’ dated October 6, 2015. 5 See Memorandum to James Maeder, Senior Director for AD/CVD Operations, Office I, ‘‘2014– 2015 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Silicomanganese from Ukraine; Intent to Rescind Administrative Review’’ dated November 17, 2015.
