On July 15, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published Silicon Metal from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Preliminary Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 41143 (July 15, 2010) (``Preliminary Results''). The period of review (``POR'') is June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009. The Department received a timely request from Petitioner, Globe Metallurgical Inc. (``Globe''), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicon metal from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for three companies: Datong Jinneng Industrial Silicon Co., Ltd. (``Datong Jinneng''),\1\ Jiangxi Gangyuan Silicon Industry Co., Ltd. (``Jiangxi Gangyuan''),\2\ and Shanghai Jinneng International Trade Co., Ltd. (``Shanghai Jinneng''). The Department also received a timely request from Shanghai Jinneng and Datong Jinneng (Shanghai Jinneng's affiliated producer of subject merchandise) for an administrative review of Shanghai Jinneng. On July 29, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation of an antidumping duty administrative review on silicon metal from the PRC, in which we initiated a review of Datong Jinneng, Jiangxi Gangyuan, and Shanghai Jinneng.\3\ In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded this review with respect to Jiangxi Gangyuan and Datong Jinneng \4\ because they certified that they had no shipments and we found no indication through our examination of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data that there were any shipments of subject merchandise by these parties during the POR. The Department has not obtained any evidence to contradict this preliminary finding, and no interested parties commented on the finding. Accordingly, we are rescinding the review with respect to Datong Jinneng and Jiangxi Gangyuan. Consequently, the administrative review covers one respondent, Shanghai Jinneng.
