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, phosphorous and sulfur.
Silicomanganese is sometimes referred
to as ferrosilicon manganese.
Silicomanganese is used primarily in
steel production as a source of both
silicon and 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 3 percent phosphorous.
Silicomanganese is properly classifiable
under subheading 7202.30.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Some
silicomanganese may also be classified
under HTSUS subheading 7202.99.5040.
The low-carbon silicomanganese
excluded from this scope is a ferroalloy
with the following chemical
specifications: 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. Lowcarbon silicomanganese is used in the
manufacture of stainless steel and
special carbon steel grades, such as
motor lamination grade steel, requiring
a very low carbon content. It is
sometimes referred to as
ferromanganese-silicon. Low-carbon
silicomanganese is classifiable under
HTSUS subheading 7202.99.5040.
This scope covers all
silicomanganese, regardless of its tariff
classification. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope remains
dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Orders would likely lead to a
continuation or a recurrence of dumping
and a continuation or recurrence of
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 Orders on
silicomanganese from India,
Kazakhstan, and Venezuela. 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 Orders will be the date of

publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce
intends to initiate the next five-year
reviews of these orders not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of continuation.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return/destruction or conversion to
judicial protective order of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Failure to comply is a violation of the
APO which may be subject to sanctions.
Notification to Interested Parties
These sunset reviews and notice are
in accordance with sections 751(c), 752,
and published pursuant to 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
