Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Amended Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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


DATES: Effective Date: October 4, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hermes Pinilla, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 5, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3477.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 13, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the final results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on magnesium metal from the Russian Federation. 
See Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 56396 (September 13, 
2011) (Final Results).
    We received a timely allegation of ministerial errors pursuant to 
19 CFR 351.224(c) from US Magnesium LLC, the petitioner, alleging that 
we relied on unadjusted cost data to calculate constructed value for 
the respondent, PSC VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation (AVISMA), and that we 
inadvertently set constructed value selling expenses to zero in the 
calculations. We agree with the petitioner that the alleged errors are 
ministerial errors. Therefore, we are hereby amending the Final Results 
with respect to AVISMA to correct ministerial errors in our calculation 
of AVISMA's weighted-average margin in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(e).
    For details regarding the ministerial errors, see the memorandum 
from Hermes Pinilla to the File entitled ``Administrative Review of the 
Antidumping Duty Order on Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation--
Amended Final Results Analysis Memorandum for PSC VSMPO-AVISMA 
Corporation covering the period April 1, 2009, through March 31, 
2010,'' concurrently with this notice.

Amended Final Results of the Review

    As a result of our correction of ministerial errors, we determine 
that, for the period April 1, 2009, through March 31, 2010, a weighted-
average dumping margin of 22.38 percent exists for AVISMA.

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated an 
importer-specific assessment rate for AVISMA reflecting these amended 
final results of review.
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by AVISMA for which AVISMA did not 
know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such 
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries of 
merchandise produced by AVISMA at the all-others rate if there is no 
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For 
a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
    The Department intends to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after 
the publication of these amended final results of review.

Cash-Deposit Requirements

    Because we revoked the order effective April 15, 2010, no cash 
deposit for estimated antidumping duties on future entries of subject 
merchandise is required.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also 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 notification of 
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

    Dated: September 27, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
