The NAC facilitates this process by providing a method for State agencies to share information with each other as they each take the necessary steps to determine and enact the appropriate resolution. Categories of Individuals SNAP applicants, new household members, and recertifying participants are matched against the NAC as part of the eligibility determination process to ensure the individual is not currently receiving benefits in another state. Categories of Records State agencies are required by regulations at 7 CFR 272.18(b) to provide information about SNAP participants and applicants, SNAP case information, and match action and resolution information. The NAC will also contain information created by the system when a match is found. Information on Individuals State agencies are required to put names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth through a PrivacyPreserving Record Linkage (PPRL) process that converts these data elements to a secure cryptographic hash before sharing the information to the NAC. When two or more hashes match, a positive match is identified by the NAC. State agencies are also required to provide a Participant ID to the NAC to allow the State agency to connect the match in the NAC to an individual in the State agency’s system for match resolution. Requirements: 1. Data elements for match: Name, Social Security number, date of birth. 2. Additional information: Participant ID and, when applicable, a vulnerable individual flag. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Jkt 259001 1. Match ID: When a match is found, the NAC will create a match record and generate a unique match ID to identify the record in the NAC. The match ID will be provided to the affected State agencies as part of the match notification to allow them to find the match record in the NAC. 2. Match record: The match record will contain information about the match itself, such as the date of the match and the affected States and the SNAP case information previously provided by the State agencies, including the Participant ID. Each State agency will use the Participant ID provided in the match record to identify the matched individual in its own eligibility system. This is needed because the NAC will not contain the names, Social Security numbers, or dates of birth of matched individuals.

Therefore, Commerce notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail should the Order be revoked, pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act.3 On May 19, 2023, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.4 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.

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

[[Page 33863]]

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 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.

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that 
revocation of the Order would likely lead to 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 Order. 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 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, Commerce intends to initiate 
the next five-year review of the Order 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 
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or 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 with the 
regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which may be subject to 
sanctions.
