International Trade Administration December 1, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In response to a request from Globe Metallurgical Inc. (Globe), a domestic producer of silicon metal, the Department of Commerce initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicon metal from Brazil. The period of review covers July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006. Because the respondents reported that they had no sales or shipments to the United States during the period of review, we intend to rescind the review of these companies.

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published its preliminary results of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on non-malleable cast iron pipe fittings (``NMP fittings'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') on May 25, 2006. See Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 30116 (May 25, 2006) (``Preliminary Results''). The period of review (``POR'') is April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes to our calculations. The final dumping margins for this review are listed in the ``Final Results of Review'' section below.
