Silicon Metal From Brazil: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: 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 February 15, 2006. Because the respondents had no sales 
or shipments to the United States during the period of review, we are 
now rescinding the review of these companies.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 19, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janis Kalnins at (202) 482-1392 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of its intent to rescind the administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on silicon metal from Brazil. See Silicon 
Metal from Brazil: Notice of Intent to Rescind Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 69550 (December 1, 2006) (Notice of Intent 
to Rescind). In that notice, the Department explained that, in response 
to its initiation of the administrative review, the respondents 
notified the Department that they had no entries, exports, or sales of 
the subject merchandise during the period July 1, 2005, through June 
30, 2006. The Department examined the results of a customs data query 
and found no evidence of entries or shipments of the subject 
merchandise during the period of review that would contradict the 
respondents' claims.
    On December 21, 2006, the Department published the revocation of 
the antidumping duty order on silicon metal from Brazil. See Silicon 
Metal from Brazil: Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order, 71 FR 76635 
(December 21, 2006). The effective date of the revocation is February 
16, 2006. As such, the period of review covering sales of subject 
merchandise is now July 1, 2005, through February 15, 2006.

Rescission of the Administrative Review

    The Department will rescind an administrative review with respect 
to an exporter or producer if the Department concludes that there were 
no entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise during the 
period of review. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). The Department gave 
interested parties 15 days from the date of publication of the Notice 
of Intent to Rescind to comment on its intent to rescind this review. 
No interested party has submitted comments on our intent to rescind 
this review within the given time period. Accordingly, we are 
rescinding this administrative review.
    In accordance with the Department's clarification of its assessment 
policy (seeAntidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003)), in the event any 
entries were made during the period of review through intermediaries 
under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) case numbers for the 
respondents, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries 
at the all-others rate in effect on the date of entry.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.
