Background
On May 9, 2017, the Department
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on
silicomanganese from Ukraine.1 The
administrative review covers two
exporters of the subject merchandise,
PJSC Zaporozhye Ferroalloy Plant
(ZFP), and PJSC Nikopol Ferroalloy
Plant (NFP). The Department gave
interested parties an opportunity to

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review; 2015–2016, 82 FR 21521 (May 9, 2017)

Jkt 241001
The merchandise covered by the
antidumping duty order is
silicomanganese. Silicomanganese,
which is sometimes called ferrosilicon
manganese, is a ferroalloy composed
principally of manganese, silicon, and
iron, and normally containing much
smaller proportions of minor elements,
such as carbon, phosphorous, and
sulfur. Silicomanganese generally
contains by weight not less than four
percent iron, more than 30 percent
manganese, more than eight percent
silicon, and not more than three percent
phosphorous. All compositions, forms
and sizes of silicomanganese are
included within the scope of this order,
including silicomanganese slag, fines,
and briquettes. Silicomanganese is used
primarily in steel production as a source
of both silicon and manganese. This
order covers all silicomanganese,
regardless of its tariff classification.
Most silicomanganese is currently
classifiable under subheading
7202.30.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Some silicomanganese may also
currently be classifiable under HTSUS
subheading 7202.99.8040. Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
Adverse Facts Available
We continue to find that the
application of adverse facts available
(AFA) to the mandatory respondents,
ZPF and NFP, is warranted in
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308, because
these companies failed to provide
requested information, as detailed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum 2
accompanying the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the respondents for the period
of August 1, 2015, through July 31,
2016:
2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for
the Preliminary Results in the Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212,
the Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to

merchandise exported by ZFP and NFP
during the POR at an ad valorem rate of

instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rates for subject
merchandise exported by ZFP and NFP
will be 163.00 percent, equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 163.00
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.3

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
204(e) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the
Secretary of State, with the concurrence
of the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary), and in consultation with the
Council, to negotiate and enter into a
Pacific Insular Area fishery agreement
(PIAFA). A PIAFA would allow foreign
fishing within the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) adjacent to
American Samoa, Guam, or the
Northern Mariana Islands. The Governor
of the Pacific Insular Area to which the
PIAFA applies must request the PIAFA.
The Secretary of State may negotiate
and enter the PIAFA after consultation
with, and concurrence of, the applicable
Governor.
Before entering into a PIAFA, the
applicable Governor, with concurrence
of the Council, must develop and
submit to the Secretary a 3-year MCP
providing details on uses for any funds
collected by the Secretary under the
PIAFA. NMFS is the designee of the
Secretary for MCP review and approval.
The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires
payments received under a PIAFA to be
deposited into the United States
Treasury and then conveyed to the
Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area for
which funds were collected.
In the case of violations by foreign
fishing vessels in the EEZ around any
Pacific Insular Area, amounts received
by the Secretary attributable to fines and
penalties imposed under the MagnusonStevens Act, including sums collected
from the forfeiture and disposition or
sale of property seized subject to its
authority, shall be deposited into the
Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area
adjacent to the EEZ in which the
violation occurred, after direct costs of
SUMMARY:
Notification to Importers
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 antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.

the enforcement action are subtracted.
The Pacific Insular Area government
may use funds deposited into the
Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area for
fisheries enforcement and for
implementation of an MCP.
Federal regulations at 50 CFR 665.819
authorize NMFS to specify catch limits
for longline-caught bigeye tuna for U.S.
territories. NMFS may also authorize
each territory to allocate a portion of
that limit to U.S. longline fishing vessels
that are permitted to fish under the
Fishery Ecosystem Plan for Pelagic
Fisheries of the Western Pacific (FEP).
Payments collected under specified
fishing agreements are deposited into
the Western Pacific Sustainable
Fisheries Fund, and any funds
attributable to a particular territory may
be used only for implementation of that
territory’s MCP.
An MCP must be consistent with the
Council’s FEPs, must identify
conservation and management
objectives (including criteria for
determining when such objectives have
been met), and must prioritize planned
marine conservation projects.
The Council reviewed and concurred
with the Northern Marian Islands MCP
in June 2017. On July 6, 2017, the
Governor of the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands submitted the
Northern Mariana Islands MCP to NMFS
for review and approval. The following
describes the objectives of the MCP.
Please refer to the MCP for planned
projects and activities designed to meet
each objective, the evaluative criteria,
and priority rankings. The MCP
contains seven conservation and
management objectives, listed below.
1. Improve fisheries data collection
and reporting.
2. Conduct resource assessment,
monitoring, and research to gain a better
understanding of marine resources and
fisheries.
3. Conduct enforcement training and
monitoring activities to promote
compliance with federal and local
mandates.
4. Promote responsible domestic
fisheries development to provide longterm economic growth, stability, and
local food production.
5. Conduct education and outreach,
enhance public participation, and build
local capacity.
6. Promote an ecosystem approach to
fisheries management, climate change
adaptation and mitigation, and regional
cooperation.
7. Recognize the importance of island
cultures and traditional fishing practices
in managing fishery resources, and
foster opportunities for participation.
