International Trade Administration December 23, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On June 18, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published in the Federal Register the preliminary results in the 2008- 2009 antidumping duty administrative review of pure magnesium from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ The period of review (``POR'') is May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009. We initiated an administrative review of the antidumping order on pure magnesium from the PRC with respect to Tianjin Magnesium International Co., Ltd. (``TMI''), Tianjin Xianghaiqi Resources Import & Export Trade Co., Ltd. (``TXR''), and Pan Asia Magnesium Co., Ltd. (``Pan Asia''). Because neither TXR nor Pan Asia responded to the Department's antidumping duty questionnaire, we determined that they were not entitled to a separate rate in the Preliminary Results and included them in the PRC-Wide Entity.\2\ We determined that TMI, the only responsive respondent in this proceeding, made sales in the United States at prices below normal value (``NV''). We invited interested parties to comment on our Preliminary Results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made changes to the margin calculations for TMI. The final dumping margin for this review is listed in the ``Final Results Margins'' section below.
