    On June 1, 2007, the Department published in the Federal Register 
its Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 72 FR 
30542 (Notice of Opportunity). In the Notice of Opportunity, the 
Department stated ``for any party the Department was unable to locate 
in prior segments, the Department will not accept a request for an 
administrative review of that party absent new information as to the 
party's location. Moreover, if the interested party who files a request 
for review is unable to locate the producer or exporter for which it 
requested the review, the interested party must provide an explanation 
of the attempts it made to locate the producer or exporter at the same 
time it files its request for review, in order for the Secretary to 
determine if the interested party's attempts were reasonable, pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii).'' See Notice of Opportunity, 72 FR at 
30543.
    The Department received a timely request from Globe Metallurgical 
Inc. (petitioner) in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1) for an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicon metal 
from the PRC. Petitioner requested an administrative review for 18 
companies. Therefore, the Department is hereby initiating an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicon metal 
from the PRC for the 18 companies for which the Department has received 
a request for review.

Initiation

    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), we are initiating an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on silicon metal from the PRC (i.e., silicon 
metal originating in the PRC). We intend to issue the final results of

  the single PRC entity of which the named exporter is a part.
\2\ Some companies may appear to be listed twice, but there are two addresses provided in the administrative
  review requests for similar named companies and, therefore, we are listing them separately.
