Manganese Metal From the People's Republic of China; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review

Résumé

In response to requests by Elkem Metals Company and Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation and by China Hunan International Economic Development Corporation, China Metallurgical Import & Export Hunan Corporation/Hunan Nonferrous Metals Import & Export Associated Corporation, Minmetals Precious & Rare Minerals Import & Export Corporation, and China National Electronics Import and Export Hunan Company, the Department of Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on manganese metal from the People's Republic of China. The period of review is June 14, 1995 through January 31, 1997. We have preliminarily determined that sales have been made below normal value. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative review, we will instruct U.S. Customs to assess antidumping duties equal to the difference between the export price and NV on all appropriate entries. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments in this proceeding are requested to submit with each argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument.
