Silicon Metal from the People's Republic of China: Notice of 
Correction of Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 5, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Quigley or Juanita Chen, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
4047 or (202) 482-1904, respectively.

CORRECTION:

    On December 21, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published its continuation of the antidumping duty order on silicon 
metal from the People's Republic of China. See Silicon Metal from the 
People's Republic of China: Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order, 71 
FR 76636 (December 21, 2006)

[[Page 532]]

(``Continuation Notice''). Subsequent to the signature of the 
Continuation Notice, we identified an inadvertent error in the above-
referenced notice.
    Specifically, the ``Scope of the Order'' listed in the Continuation 
Notice was incorrect. It should read as follows:

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is silicon metal containing 
at least 96.00 percent but less than 99.99 percent silicon by weight. 
Also covered by this antidumping order is silicon metal containing 
between 89.00 and 96.00 percent silicon by weight but which contains 
more aluminum than the silicon metal containing at least 96.00 percent 
but less than 99.99 percent silicon by weight. Silicon metal is 
currently provided for under subheadings 2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50 of 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') as a 
chemical product, but is commonly referred to as a metal. Semiconductor 
grade silicon (silicon metal containing by weight not less than 99.99 
percent silicon and provided for in subheading 2804.61.00 of the HTSUS) 
is not subject to the order. Although the HTSUS item numbers are 
provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the written 
description remains dispositive.

Conclusion

    This notice serves solely to correct the scope as it was detailed 
in the Continuation Notice. The Department's findings in the 
Continuation Notice remain unchanged. This notice is issued and 
published in accordance with section 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended.

    Dated: December 27, 2006.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
