that revocation of the antidumping duty

would likely lead to a continuation or

of continuation of the AD duty order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 10, 1991, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
AD order on silicon metal from China.1
On March 3, 2017, Commerce published
the notice of initiation of the fourth
sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).2 Commerce
conducted this sunset review on an
expedited basis, pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) because it
received a complete timely, and
adequate response from a domestic
interested party 3 but no substantive
responses from respondent interested
parties. As a result of its review,
Commerce determined pursuant to
sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the Order would
likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping. Commerce also
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
dumping margins likely to prevail
should the Order be revoked.4 On May
21, 2018, the ITC published its
determination, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
AD duty order on silicon metal from
China would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is silicon metal containing at least 96.00
percent, but less than 99.99 percent of
silicon by weight. For a complete
description of the scope of the Order,
see the Issues and Decision
memorandum explaining Commerce’s
Final Results.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the AD order on silicon
metal from China. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
collect AD cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports
of subject merchandise. The effective
date of the continuation of the Order
will be the date of publication in the
Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to
initiate the next sunset review of the
Order not later than 30 days prior to the
fifth anniversary of the effective date of
continuation. This five-year sunset
review and this notice are in accordance
with section 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the
Act and published pursuant to section
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(f)(4).
