Pure Magnesium From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary 
Results of the 2009-2010 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

SUMMARY: In response to requests from interested parties, the 
Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period May 
1, 2009, through April 30, 2010.
    We have preliminarily determined that Tianjin Magnesium 
International Co., Ltd. (``TMI''), the sole respondent in this 
administrative review, has not made sales in the United States at 
prices below normal value during the period of review (``POR''). If 
these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of review, 
we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise 
during the period of review (``POR'') for which the importer-specific 
assessment rates are above de minimis.
    We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary 
results. Parties who submit comments are requested to submit with each 
argument a summary of the argument. We intend to issue the final 
results no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act'').

DATES: Effective Date: June 8, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eve Wang or Eugene Degnan, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
6231 and (202) 482-0414, respectively.

Background

    On May 12, 1995, the Department published in the Federal Register 
an antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from the PRC.\1\ On May 3, 
2010, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on pure magnesium from the PRC for the period May 1, 2009, 
through April 30, 2010.\2\ On May 26, 2010, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(b)(2), TMI, a foreign exporter of the subject merchandise, 
requested the Department to review its sales of subject merchandise. On 
June 1, 2010, US Magnesium LLC (``Petitioner'') also requested that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of the exports of subject 
merchandise of TMI. On June 30, 2010, the Department initiated an 
administrative review of the order on pure magnesium from the PRC for 
the POR with respect to TMI.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 30, 2010, the Department issued an antidumping duty 
questionnaire to TMI. TMI submitted its section A questionnaire 
response (``TMI's AQR'') on July 30, 2010, sections C and D 
questionnaire response (``TMI's CQR'' and ``TMI's DQR'') August 27, 
2010.\4\ Petitioner submitted comments concering TMI's AQR on September 
24, 2010, and TMI's CQR and TMI's DQR on November 12, 2010. The 
Department issued supplemental questionnaires to TMI concerning TMI's 
AQR, CQR and DQR between January 6, 2011, and May 5, 2011. TMI 
responded to each of the supplemental questionnaires between February 
3, 2011, and May 10, 2011. Petitioner submitted comments on TMI's 
submissions between April 22, 2011, and May 4, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On July 30, 2010, TMI requested an extension of time to file 
its response to sections C and D of the questionnaire, which the 
Department granted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 12, 2010, Petitioner requested that the Department 
conduct verification of TMI in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.307(b)(1)(iv).
    On October 22, 2010, the Department issued a letter to interested 
parties seeking comments on surrogate country selection and surrogate 
values (``SVs'') to value factors of production (``FOP''). On November 
2, 2010, Petitioner filed a request for an extension of time to submit 
comments on surrogate country selection. On November 15, and November 
19, 2010, Petitioner submitted potential surrogate producer financial 
statements and comments on surrogate country selection, respectively. 
TMI submitted comments concering surrogate country selection on 
November 19, 2010, and SV information on December 7, 2010. Petitioner 
submitted initial SV comments on December 12, 2010, and rebuttal SV 
comments on December 17, 2010. On December 17, 2010, TMI submitted 
rebuttal SV comments. On May 3, 2011, Petitioner submitted comments 
concerning the SV for freight rates.
    On January 4, 2011, the Department extended the time period for 
completion of the preliminary results of this review by 120 days until 
May 31, 2011.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period of Review

    The POR is May 1, 2009, through April 30, 2010.

Scope of Order

    Merchandise covered by the order is pure magnesium regardless of 
chemistry, form or size, unless expressly excluded from the scope of 
the order. Pure magnesium is a metal or alloy containing by weight 
primarily the element magnesium and produced by decomposing raw 
materials into magnesium metal. Pure primary magnesium is used 
primarily as a chemical in the aluminum alloying, desulfurization, and 
chemical reduction industries. In addition, pure magnesium is used as 
an input in producing magnesium alloy. Pure magnesium encompasses 
products (including, but not limited to, butt ends, stubs, crowns and 
crystals) with the following primary magnesium contents:
    (1) Products that contain at least 99.95% primary magnesium, by 
weight (generally referred to as ``ultra pure'' magnesium);
    (2) Products that contain less than 99.95% but not less than 99.8% 
primary magnesium, by weight (generally referred to as ``pure'' 
magnesium); and
    (3) Products that contain 50% or greater, but less than 99.8% 
primary magnesium, by weight, and that do not conform to ASTM 
specifications for alloy magnesium (generally referred to as ``off-
specification pure'' magnesium).

[[Page 33195]]

    ``Off-specification pure'' magnesium is pure primary magnesium 
containing magnesium scrap, secondary magnesium, oxidized magnesium or 
impurities (whether or not intentionally added) that cause the primary 
magnesium content to fall below 99.8% by weight. It generally does not 
contain, individually or in combination, 1.5% or more, by weight, of 
the following alloying elements: aluminum, manganese, zinc, silicon, 
thorium, zirconium and rare earths.
    Excluded from the scope of the order are alloy primary magnesium 
(that meets specifications for alloy magnesium), primary magnesium 
anodes, granular primary magnesium (including turnings, chips and 
powder) having a maximum physical dimension (i.e., length or diameter) 
of one inch or less, secondary magnesium (which has pure primary 
magnesium content of less than 50% by weight), and remelted magnesium 
whose pure primary magnesium content is less than 50% by weight.
    Pure magnesium products covered by the order are currently 
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS'') subheadings 8104.11.00, 8104.19.00, 8104.20.00, 8104.30.00, 
8104.90.00, 3824.90.11, 3824.90.19 and 9817.00.90. Although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our 
written description of the scope is dispositive.

Non-Market Economy Country Status

    The Department has treated the PRC as a non-market economy 
(``NME'') country in all past antidumping duty investigations and 
administrative reviews and continues to do so in this case.\6\ The 
Department has previously examined the PRC's market-economy status and 
determined that NME status should continue for the PRC.\7\ In 
accordance with section 771(18)(C)(i) of the Act, any determination 
that a foreign country is an NME country shall remain in effect until 
revoked by the administering authority.\8\ No interested party to this 
proceeding has contested such treatment. Accordingly, we calculated 
normal value (``NV'') using an FOP methodology in accordance with 
section 773(c) of the Act, which applies to NME countries.

    \8\ See section 771(18)(C)(i) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surrogate Country

    When the Department is investigating imports from an NME country, 
section 773(c)(1) of the Act directs it to base NV on the NME 
producer's FOPs. The Act further instructs that valuation of the FOPs 
shall be based on the best available information from a surrogate 
market-economy country or countries considered to be appropriate by the 
Department.\9\ When valuing the FOPs, the Department shall utilize, to 
the extent possible, the prices or costs of FOPs in one or more market-
economy countries that are: (1) At a level of economic development 
comparable to that of the NME country; and (2) significant producers of 
comparable merchandise.\10\ Further, the Department normally values all 
FOPs in a single surrogate country.\11\ The sources of SVs are 
discussed under the ``Normal Value'' section below and in the Factor 
Valuation Memorandum, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, 
Room 1117 of the main Department building.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See section 773(c)(1) of the Act.
    \10\ See section 773(c)(4) of the Act.
    \11\ See 19 CFR 351.408(c)(2).
    \12\ See Memorandum to the File, ``2009-2010 Administrative 
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Pure Magnesium from the 
People's Republic of China: Factor Valuation Memorandum for the 
Preliminary Results,'' dated May 31, 2011 (``Factor Valuation 
Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In examining which country to select as its primary surrogate 
country for this proceeding, the Department first determined that 
India, Indonesia, Peru, the Philippines, Thailand, and Ukraine are 
countries comparable to the PRC in terms of economic development.\13\ 
The Department has also determined India to be a significant producer 
of primary aluminum, a product that the Department has found to be 
comparable to pure magnesium. Both Petitioner and TMI agreed that India 
is the most appropriate surrogate country for this administrative 
review. Both Petitioner and TMI submitted Indian-sourced data to value 
FOPs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Memorandum from Carole Showers, Director, Office of 
Policy, ``Request for a List of Surrogate Countries for an 
Adminstrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Pure Magnesium 
(``Magnesium'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''),'' 
dated July 20, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After evaluating interested parties' comments, the Department has 
determined that India is the appropriate surrogate country to use in 
this review in accordance with section 773(c)(4) of the Act. The 
Department based its decision on the following facts: (1) India is at a 
level of economic development comparable to that of the PRC; (2) India 
is a significant producer of comparable merchandise, i.e., primary 
aluminum; and (3) India provides the best opportunity to use quality, 
publicly available data to value the FOPs. All the data submitted by 
both Petitioner and TMI for our consideration as potential SVs and 
surrogate financial ratios are sourced from India. Finally, on the 
record of this review, we have usable SV data (including financial 
data) from India, but no such surrogate data from other potential 
surrogate country.
    Therefore, because India best represents the experience of 
producers of comparable merchandise operating in a surrogate country, 
we have selected India as the surrogate country and, accordingly, have 
calculated NV using Indian prices to value TMI's FOPs, when available 
and appropriate. We have obtained and relied upon publicly available 
information wherever possible.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(ii), interested parties may 
submit publicly available information to value the FOPs within 20 days 
after the date of publication of the preliminary results of review.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(1), for the final 
determination of this review, interested parties may submit factual 
information to rebut, clarify, or correct factual information 
submitted by an interested party less than ten days before, on, or 
after the applicable deadline for submission of such factual 
information. However, the Department notes that 19 CFR 351.301(c)(1) 
permits new information only insofar as it rebuts, clarifies, or 
corrects information recently placed on the record. The Department 
generally cannot accept the submission of additional, previously 
absent-from-the-record alternative SV information pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.301(c)(1). See Glycine from the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final 
Rescission, in Part, 72 FR 58809 (October 17, 2007), and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (``IDM'') at Comment 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    In proceedings involving NME countries, the Department has a 
rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are 
subject to government control and thus should be assessed a single 
antidumping duty rate. See Policy Bulletin 05.1: Separate-Rates 
Practice and Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping 
Investigations involving Non-Market Economy Countries, available at 
http://ia.ita.doc.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf. It is the Department's 
policy to assign all exporters of subject merchandise in an NME country 
this single rate unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is

[[Page 33196]]

sufficiently independent so as to be entitled to a separate rate. 
Exporters can demonstrate this independence through the absence of both 
de jure and de facto governmental control over export activities. The 
Department analyzes each entity exporting the subject merchandise under 
a test arising from the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value: Sparklers From the People's Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 
6, 1991) (``Sparklers''), as further developed in Notice of Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide From 
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994) (``Silicon 
Carbide''). However, if the Department determines that a company is 
wholly foreign-owned or located in a market economy, then a separate 
rate analysis is not necessary to determine whether it is independent 
from government control.

Separate Rate Recipients

    TMI is the only respondent in this administrative review. TMI 
reported that it is a wholly Chinese-owned company. Therefore, the 
Department must analyze whether it can demonstrate the absence of both 
de jure and de facto government control over export activities.

a. Absence of De Jure Control

    The Department considers the following de jure criteria in 
determining whether an individual company may be granted a separate 
rate: (1) An absence of restrictive stipulations associated with an 
individual exporter's business and export licenses; (2) any legislative 
enactments decentralizing control of companies; and (3) other formal 
measures by the government decentralizing control of companies.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Sparklers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The evidence provided by TMI supports a preliminary finding of de 
jure absence of government control based on the following: (1) An 
absence of restrictive stipulations associated with its business and 
export licenses; (2) applicable legislative enactments decentralizing 
control of companies; and (3) formal measures by the government 
decentralizing control of companies.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China, 
contained in TMI's AQR, at Exhibit A-2; see also Regulations of the 
People's Republic of China on Administration of Registration of 
Companies contained in TMI's AQR at Exhibit A-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

b. Absence of De Facto Control

    Typically, the Department considers four factors in evaluating 
whether each respondent is subject to de facto government control of 
its export functions: (1) Whether the export prices are set by or are 
subject to the approval of a government agency; (2) whether the 
respondent has authority to negotiate and sign contracts and other 
agreements; (3) whether the respondent has autonomy from the government 
in making decisions regarding the selection of management; and (4) 
whether the respondent retains the proceeds of its export sales and 
makes independent decisions regarding disposition of profits or 
financing of losses.\17\ The Department has determined that an analysis 
of de facto control is critical in determining whether respondents are, 
in fact, subject to a degree of governmental control, which would 
preclude the Department from assigning separate rates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Silicon Carbide, 59 FR at 22587; see also Notice of 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Furfuryl 
Alcohol From the People's Republic of China, 60 FR 22544, 22545 (May 
8, 1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The evidence provided by TMI supports a preliminary finding of de 
facto absence of government control based on the following: (1) The 
absence of evidence that the export prices are set by or are subject to 
the approval of a government agency; \18\ (2) the respondent has 
authority to negotiate and sign contracts and other agreements; \19\ 
(3) the respondent has autonomy from the government in making decisions 
regarding the selection of management; \20\ and (4) the respondent 
retains the proceeds of its export sales and makes independent 
decisions regarding disposition of profits or financing of losses.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See TMI's AQR, at 2-3, 6; see also the contract and the 
purchase order between TMI and a U.S. Customer contained in TMI's 
AQR at Exhibit A-6. See also TMI's 1st ASQR Exhibit SA-8.
    \19\ See TMI's AQR at 7; see also TMI's 1st SQR at SA-10a.
    \20\ See TMI's AQR at 8.
    \21\ See TMI's AQR at 9-10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, the evidence placed on the record of this review by TMI 
demonstrates an absence of de jure and de facto government control with 
respect to TMI's exports of the merchandise under review, in accordance 
with the criteria identified in Sparklers and Silicon Carbide. 
Accordingly, we have determined that TMI has demonstrated its 
eligibility for a separate rate.

Fair Value Comparisons

    To determine whether sales of pure magnesium to the United States 
by TMI were made at NV, we compared export price (``EP'') to NV, as 
described in the ``Export Price'' and ``Normal Value'' sections of this 
notice.

Export Price

    In accordance with section 772(a) of the Act, EP is the price at 
which the subject merchandise is first sold (or agreed to be sold) 
before the date of importation by the producer or exporter of the 
subject merchandise outside of the United States to an unaffiliated 
purchaser in the United States or to an unaffiliated purchaser for 
exportation to the United States, as adjusted under section 772(c) of 
the Act. In accordance with section 772(a) of the Act, we have used EP 
for TMI's U.S. sales because the subject merchandise was sold directly 
to the unaffiliated customers in the United States prior to importation 
and because constructed export price was not otherwise warranted.
    We have based the EP on delivered prices to unaffiliated purchasers 
in the United States. In accordance with section 772(c)(2)(A) of the 
Act, we have made deductions from the starting price for movement 
expenses, including expenses for foreign inland freight from the plant 
to the port of exportation, domestic brokerage and handling, 
international freight, marine insurance, brokerage and handling 
expenses incurred in the United States, U.S. customs duty, freight from 
the U.S. port to the customer, rebanding, inventory and warehouse 
handling expenses. TMI neither reported nor claimed other adjustments 
to EP.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Memorandum to the File ``Analysis Memorandum for the 
Preliminary Results of the 2009-2010 Administrative Review of Pure 
Magnesium from the People's Republic of China: Tianjin Magnesium 
International Co., Ltd. (``TMI'')'' (``TMI's Analysis Memorandum''), 
dated May 31, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normal Value

    Section 773(c)(1) of the Act provides that, the Department shall 
determine NV using an FOP methodology if the merchandise is exported 
from an NME country and the Department finds that the available 
information does not permit the calculation of NV using home-market 
prices, third-country prices, or constructed value under section 773(a) 
of the Act. When determining NV in an NME context, the Department will 
base NV on FOPs because the presence of government controls on various 
aspects of these economies renders price comparisons and the 
calculation of production costs invalid under our normal methodologies. 
The Department's questionnaire requires that TMI provide information 
regarding the weighted-average FOPs across all of the company's plants 
that produce the subject merchandise, not just the FOPs from a single 
plant. This methodology

[[Page 33197]]

ensures that the Department's calculations are as accurate as 
possible.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See, e.g., Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value and Critical Circumstances: Certain Malleable Iron Pipe 
Fittings From the People's Republic of China, 68 FR 61395 (October 
28, 2003), and accompanying Issue and Decision Memorandum at Comment 
19.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.408(c)(1), the Department will 
normally use publicly available information to find an appropriate SV 
to value FOPs, but when a producer sources an input from a market 
economy and pays for it in market economy (``ME'') currency, the 
Department may value the factor using the actual price paid for the 
input.\24\ TMI reported that it did not purchase inputs from ME 
suppliers for the production of the subject merchandise.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See 19 CFR 351.408(c)(1); see also Shakeproof Assembly 
Components, Div. of Ill. Tool Works, Inc. v. United States, 268 F.3d 
1376, 1382-1383 (Fed. Cir. 2001) (affirming the Department's use of 
market-based prices to value certain FOPs).
    \25\ See TMI's DQR at D-16.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We calculated NV based on FOPs in accordance with sections 
773(c)(3) and (4) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.408(c). The FOPs include 
but are not limited to: (1) Hours of labor required; (2) quantities of 
raw materials employed; (3) amounts of energy and other utilities 
consumed; and (4) representative capital costs. The Department used 
FOPs reported by TMI for materials, energy, labor, by-products, and 
packing.
    TMI stated that its producer generated three by-products during the 
production process: magnesium waste, cement clinker, and coal tar.\26\ 
TMI requested by-product offsets to NV for all three products. TMI 
provided record evidence establishing that all three by-products 
generated during the course of production have commercial value.\27\ 
Therefore, for these preliminary results, we have granted TMI three by-
product offsets to its NV.\28\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Factor Valuations

    In accordance with section 773(c) of the Act, the Department 
calculated NV based on FOPs reported by TMI for the POR. To calculate 
NV, the Department multiplied the reported per-unit factor consumption 
quantities by publicly available Indian SVs. In selecting the SVs, the 
Department considered the quality, specificity, and contemporaneity of 
the data. The Department adjusted input prices by including freight 
costs to make them delivered prices, as appropriate. Specifically, the 
Department added to Indian import SVs a surrogate freight cost using 
the shorter of the reported distance from the domestic supplier to the 
factory or the distance from the nearest seaport to the factory of 
production. This adjustment is in accordance with the decision of the 
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (``CAFC'') in Sigma Corp. 
v. United States, 117 F.3d 1401, 1407-08 (Fed. Cir. 1997). A detailed 
description of all SVs used to value TMI's reported FOPs may be found 
in the Factor Valuation Memorandum.
    The Department calculated SVs for the majority of reported FOPs 
purchased from NME sources using the contemporaneous, weighted-average 
unit import value derived from the Monthly Statistics of the Foreign 
Trade of India, as published by the Directorate General of Commercial 
Intelligence and Statistics of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, 
Government of India in the Global Trade Atlas (``GTA''), available at 
http://www.gtis.com/wta.htm (``GTA Indian Import Statistics'').\29\ GTA 
Indian Import Statistics were reported in India Rupees and are 
contemporaneous with the POR. In selecting the best available 
information for valuing FOPs in accordance with section 773(c)(1) of 
the Act, the Department's practice is to select, to the extent 
practicable, SVs which are non-export average values, most 
contemporaneous with the POR, product-specific, and tax-exclusive.\30\

    In those instances where the Department could not obtain publicly 
available information contemporaneous with the POR with which to value 
FOPs, the Department adjusted the publicly available SVs using the 
Indian Wholesale Price Index, as published in the International 
Financial Statistics of the International Monetary Fund.\31\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, with regard to Indian import-based SVs, we have 
disregarded prices that we have reason to believe or suspect may be 
subsidized, such as those from Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand. We 
have found in other proceedings that these countries maintain broadly 
available, non-industry-specific export subsidies and, therefore, it is 
reasonable to infer that all exports to all markets from these 
countries may be subsidized.\32\ We are also guided by the statute's 
legislative history that explains that it is not necessary to conduct a 
formal investigation to ensure that such prices are not subsidized.\33\ 
Rather, the Department was instructed by Congress to base its decision 
on information that is available to it at the time it is making its 
determination. In accordance with the foregoing, we have not used 
prices from these countries in calculating the Indian import-based SVs.

    The Department used GTA Indian Import Statistics to calculate SVs 
for raw materials (i.e., ferrosilicon, fluorite powder, sulphur powder, 
and sulfuric acid), packing materials (i.e., plastic bags, steel bands, 
and plastic bands), and by-products (i.e., magnesium waste, cement 
clinker, and coal tar).
    For dolomite, we continue to find, as we did in the previous 
segments of this proceeding, that it is reasonable to conclude that GTA 
data represent prices of imported dolomite in the high-end, value-added 
product range while the dolomite used to produce subject merchandise is 
more of a high-bulk, low-value commodity.\34\ Therefore, as in the 
2008-2009 administrative review, we have preliminarily determined to 
use the audited financial statements of Indian producers submitted on 
the record of this review for the SV for dolomite.\35\ TMI placed the 
audited financial statements of two companies on the record covering 
the period April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010: Bisra Stone Lime 
Company Ltd. (``Bisra'') and Anjani Portland Cement Limited

[[Page 33198]]

(``Anjani'').\36\ Petitioner placed on the record the audited financial 
statements for two Indian metal companies covering the same period: 
Tata Sponge Iron Ltd (``Tata'') and Bhushan Steel Limited 
(``Bhushan''). In examining these financial statements, we have 
determined that the prices reflected in the financial statements of the 
four companies represent the best available information on the record 
with which to value dolomite. All of these financial statements are 
fully legible and generally contemporaneous with the POR. The companies 
were profitable and did not receive subsidies that the Department has 
found to be countervailable and would otherwise taint the prices of 
materials that it sold or consumed. Therefore, we have preliminary 
determined the SV of dolomite based on the simple average of domestic 
prices for dolomite provided in the audited financial statements of 
these four companies.

    We valued flux No.2, which consists of magnesium chloride, 
potassium chloride, and sodium chloride, using data from Chemical 
Weekly. We consider both Chemical Weekly and GTA Indian Import 
Statistics to be reliable sources and, as such, the Department has used 
them in past cases to value chemical component inputs. In the instant 
case, however, we have determined, as we have been in the three 
immediately preceding segments of this proceeding, that Chemical Weekly 
is the best available information for valuing flux because the data are 
publicly available prices, are contemporaneous with the POR, are 
specific to TMI's input, and are representative of prices in India.\37\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a consequence of the decision of the CAFC in Dorbest Ltd. v. 
United States, 604 F. 3d 1363 (Fed. Cir. 2010), the Department no 
longer relies on the regression-based wage rate described in 19 CFR 
351.408(c)(3). The Department is continuing to evaluate options for 
determining labor values in light of the recent CAFC decision. For 
these preliminary results, we have calculated an hourly wage rate to 
use in valuing the reported labor input by averaging earnings and/or 
wages in countries that are economically-comparable to the PRC and that 
are significant producers of comparable merchandise. To calculate the 
hourly wage data, we used wage rate data reported by the International 
Labor Organization (``ILO'').\38\ Because an industry-specific dataset 
relevant to this proceeding exists within the Department's preferred 
ILO source, we used industry-specific data to calculate a surrogate 
wage rate for this review, in accordance with section 773(c)(1) of the 
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \38\ The ILO industry-specific data is reported according to the 
International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic 
Activities (``ISIC'') code, which is maintained by the United 
Nations Statistical Division and is periodically updated. These 
updates are referred to as ``Revisions.'' The ILO, an organization 
under the auspices of the United Nation, utilizes this 
classification for reporting purposes. Currently, wage and earnings 
data are available from the ILO under the following revisions: ISIC-
Rev.2, ISIC-Rev.3, and most recently, ISIC-Rev.4. The ISIC code 
establishes a two-digit breakout for each manufacturing category, 
and also often provides a three- or four-digit sub-category for each 
two-digit category. Depending on the country, data may be reported 
at either the two-, three- or four-digit subcategory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For this review, the Department has calculated the wage rate using 
a simple average of the data provided to the ILO under Sub-
Classification 27 (``Manufacture of basic metal'') of the ISIC-Revision 
3 by countries determined to be both economically-comparable and 
significant producers to the PRC. The Department finds the two-digit 
description under Sub-Classification 27 is the best available wage rate 
surrogate value on the record because it is specific to, and derived 
from, industries that produce merchandise comparable to the subject 
merchandise. Consequently, we average the ILO industry-specific wage 
rate data or earnings data vailable from the following countries found 
to be economically comparable to the PRC and to be significant 
producers of comparable merchandise: Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines, 
Ukraine, Jordan, Thailand, Ecuador, and Peru.\39\ On this basis, the 
Department calculated a simple average, industry specific wage rate of 
$1.96 for these preliminary results.\40\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \39\ Although India is used as the primary surrogate country for 
the other FOPs, India is not included in the list of countries used 
to calculate the industry-specific wage rate because there were no 
earnings or wage data available from the ILO for the applicable 
period.
    \40\ See the Factor Value Memorandum at 9 and Exhibit 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We valued electricity using the updated electricity price data for 
small, medium, and large industries, as published by the Central 
Electricity Authority, an administrative body of the Government of 
India, in its publication titled Electricity Tariff & Duty and Average 
Rates of Electricity Supply in India, dated March 2008.\41\ These 
electricity rates represent actual country-wide, publicly-available 
information on tax-exclusive electricity rates charged to small, 
medium, and large industries in India. We did not inflate this value 
because utility rates represent current rates, as indicated by the 
effective dates listed for each of the rates provided.

    \41\ See Factor Valuation Memorandum at 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To value steam coal, we used steam coal prices from the December 
12, 2007, CIL's Coal Pricing Circular. See CIL: S&M: GM(F): Pricing 
1124, dated 12 December 2007.\42\ Since TMI reports using non-coking 
coal with a useful heat value of 5500 kcal/kg,\43\ we calculated the SV 
for steam coal by averaging the prices of long-flame grade C non-coking 
coal and non-long-flame grade C non-coking steam coal, both of which 
have UHV exceeding 4940 kcal/kg, but not exceeding 5600 kcal/kg, from 
the December 12, 2007, CIL's Coal Pricing Circular.\44\ We did not 
inflate this value to the current POR because the steam coal rates 
represent the rates that were in effect until October 16, 2009,\45\ and 
are, therefore, contemporaneous with the POR. Finally, we have applied 
an additional fixed surcharge of 165 rupees (``Rs.'')/metric ton to our 
calculation of the average of the prices of long-flame grade C non-
coking coal and non-long-flame grade C non-coking coal from CIL.\46\

    We valued truck freight expenses using an Indian per-unit average 
rate calculated from data on the following Web site: http://www.infobanc.com/logistics/logtruck.htm \47\ The logistics section of

Indian cities. We did not inflate this rate since it is contemporaneous 
with the POR.

    According to 19 CFR 351.408(c)(4), the Department is directed to 
value overhead, general, and administrative expenses (``SG&A''), and 
profit using non-proprietary information gathered from producers of 
identical or comparable merchandise in the surrogate country. In this 
administrative review, Petitioner and TMI, collectively, placed on the 
record financial statements for ten Indian metal producers. 
Specifically, Petitioner submitted the 2009-2010 financial statements 
for two producers of primary aluminum--National Aluminium Company 
Limited (``NALCO'') and Bharat Aluminum Co., Ltd; one producer of zinc 
products--Hindustan Zinc Limited (``Hindustan Zinc''); and a producer 
of copper--Hindustan Copper Limited.\50\ In addition, Petitioner 
included the 2008-2009 financial statements for one Indian producer of 
alloy steel, titanium, and molybdenum--Midhani Dhatu Nigam Limited for 
the Department's consideration (``Midhani'').\51\ TMI submitted the 
2009-2010 financial statements for one producer of primary aluminum--
Hindalco Industries Limited (``HINDALCO''), and four producers of 
aluminum products--Sudal Industries Ltd. (``Sudal''), Century 
Extrusions Ltd. (``Century''), Bhoruka Aluminum (``Bhoruka'') and 
Gujurat Foils Limited.\52\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \50\ In its May 4, 2011 submission of Petitioner's Comments 
Concerning The Preliminary Results, Petitioner argued that financial 
statements for Madras Aluminum Company (``MALCO'') 2006/2007is the 
second best information for purposes of selecting financial 
statements, notwithstanding the financial statements are not on the 
record. The Department disagrees with Petitioner and rejects the use 
of financial statements because they are not contemporaneous. 
Herein, the financial statements for MALCO 2006/2007 are now 
officially on the record for this review.
    \51\ See Petitioner's SV Submission at Exhibits 5 and 6.
    \52\ See TMI's SV Submission at Exhibits SV-13A through SV-13E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the following reasons, we have determined not to rely on the 
2009-2010 audited financial statements of Sudal, Century, Bhoruka, 
Gujarat, HINDALCO, NALCO, Hindustan Zinc, and Hindustan Copper, and the 
2008-2009 audited financial statements of Midhani, as surrogate 
financial statements under 19 CRF 351.408(c)(4). The Department, as in 
the three immediately preceding segments of this proceeding,\53\ 
continues to prefer selecting financial statements from a producer of 
primary aluminum, which the Department has determined to be comparable 
to pure magnesium for purposes of selecting financial statements.\54\ 
Accordingly, we decline to rely on audited financial statements for 
Sudal, Century, Bhoruka, and Gujurat because these are not producers of 
preliminary aluminum; rather, they produced downstream products of 
aluminum (e.g., aluminum extruders and foils).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, the Department declines to use financial statements for 
Hindustan Zinc and NALCO because the Department has a well-established 
practice of disregarding financial statements where there is evidence 
that the company received subsidies that the Department has previously 
found to be countervailable, and where there are other sufficient 
reliable and representative data on the record for purposes of 
calculating the surrogate financial ratios.\55\ Hindustan Zinc received 
benefits from the Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme (``EPCG''),\56\ 
a subsidy that the Department has determined to be countervailable.\57\ 
Similarly, NALCO received, during the POR, EPCG subsidy notwithstanding 
it produced primary aluminum.\58\ Third, we find that the financial 
statements for HINDALCO are not the best information available for 
purposes of selecting financial statements because only one tenth of 
HINDALCO's production was related to primary aluminum during the 
POR.\59\ In contrast, more than half of its production was related to 
copper, a product that the Department has determined not to be 
comparable to pure magnesium.\60\ Likewise, the Department rejects the 
use of financial statements for Hindustan Copper because it produced 
copper. Fourth, the Department rejects the use of financial statements 
for Midhani because the Department has not determined that any of the 
three principal products made by the company, alloy steel, titanium, 
and molybdenum, are comparable to pure magnesium. Because the 
Department has available to it a financial statement from a primary 
aluminum producer and the period covered in Midhani's financial 
statements is not the most contemporaneous to the POR, we do not need 
to make a finding regarding the comparability of Midhani's merchandise 
to pure magnesium.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Department finds that the financial statements for 
Bharat are the best information available for purposes of selecting 
financial statements. Bharat produced primary aluminum, which the 
Department has determined to be comparable to pure magnesium. There is 
no evidence in the financial statements that Bharat received any 
benefits that the Department has determined to be countervailable. 
Bharat was profitable during the POR. Further, its audited financial 
statements are complete and are sufficiently detailed to disaggregate 
materials, labor, overhead, and SG&A expenses. As a result, we have 
preliminarily determined to use the 2009-2010 audited financial 
statements of Bharat as the basis of the financial ratios in this 
review.
    For a complete listing of all the inputs and a detailed discussion 
about our SV selections, see the Factor Valuation Memorandum.

Currency Conversion

    Where necessary, the Department made currency conversions into U.S. 
dollars, in accordance with section 773A(a) of the Act, based on the 
exchange rates in effect as certified by the Federal Reserve Bank on 
the date of the U.S. sale.

[[Page 33200]]

Duty Absorption

    Section 751(a)(4) of the Act provides for the Department, if 
requested, to determine during an administrative review initiated two 
or four years after publication of the order, whether antidumping 
duties have been absorbed by a foreign producer or exporter, if the 
subject merchandise is sold in the United States through an affiliated 
importer. See also, 19 CFR 351.213(j). On July 10, 2010, Petitioner 
requested that the Department determine whether TMI had absorbed 
antidumping duties for U.S. sales of pure magnesium made during the 
POR. Since the instant review was initiated more than five years after 
publication of the pure magnesium order, this request is untimely and, 
as such, we have not conducted a duty absorption analysis.

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin

    The preliminary weighted-average dumping margin is as follows:

    The Department will disclose calculations performed for these 
preliminary results to the parties within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Any 
interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of publication of 
these preliminary results.\61\ If a hearing is requested, the 
Department will announce the hearing schedule at a later date. 
Interested parties may submit case briefs and/or written comments no 
later than 30 days after the date of publication of the preliminary 
results of review.\62\ Rebuttal briefs and rebuttals to written 
comments, limited to issues raised in such briefs or comments, may be 
filed no later than five days after the time limit for filing the case 
briefs.\63\ Further, we request that parties submitting written 
comments provide the Department with an additional electronic copy of 
those comments on a CD-ROM. The Department intends to issue the final 
results of this administrative review, which will include the results 
of its analysis of issues raised in all comments, and at a hearing, 
within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results, pursuant 
to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance 
with the final results of this review.\64\ For assessment purposes, we 
calculated importer- or customer-specific assessment rates for 
merchandise subject to this review. We calculated an ad valorem rate 
for each importer or customer by dividing the total dumping margins for 
reviewed sales to that party by the total entered value associated with 
those transactions. For duty-assessment rates calculated on this basis, 
we will direct CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem rate against the 
entered customs values for the subject merchandise. Where appropriate, 
we calculated a per-unit rate for each importer or customer by dividing 
the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to that party by the total 
sales quantity associated with those transactions. For duty-assessment 
rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess the 
resulting per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject 
merchandise. Where an importer- or customer-specific assessment rate is 
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in accordance with the 
requirement of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), the Department will instruct CBP 
to assess that importer's or customer's entries of subject merchandise 
without regard to antidumping duties. We intend to instruct CBP to 
liquidate entries containing subject merchandise exported by the PRC-
wide entity at the PRC-wide rate we determine in the final results of 
this review. The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final 
results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For TMI, which has a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that established in the 
final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de 
minimis, zero cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above 
that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, 
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate; 
(3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been 
found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be 
the PRC-wide rate of 111.73 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters 
of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that 
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
