Notice of Antidumping Order: Ferrovanadium and Nitrided Vanadium
From the Russian Federation

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 10, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger or Louis Apple,
Office of Antidumping Investigations, Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC, 20230; telephone:
(202) 482-4136 or (202) 482-1769, respectively.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the
Department of Commerce (the Department) regulations are in reference to
the provisions as they existed on December 31, 1994.

Scope of Order

The products covered by this order are ferrovanadium and nitrided
vanadium, regardless of grade, chemistry, form or size, unless
expressly excluded from the scope of this order. Ferrovanadium includes
alloys containing ferrovanadium as the predominant element by weight
(i.e., more weight than any other element, except iron in some
instances) and at least 4 percent by weight of iron. Nitrided vanadium
includes compounds containing vanadium as the predominant element, by
weight, and at least 5 percent, by weight, of nitrogen. Excluded from
the scope of this order are vanadium additives other than

[[Page 35551]]
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium, such as vanadium-aluminum master
alloys, vanadium chemicals, vanadium waste and scrap, vanadium-bearing
raw materials, such as slag, boiler residues, fly ash, and vanadium
oxides.
The products subject to this order are currently classifiable under
subheadings 2850.00.20, 7202.92.00, 7202.99.5040, 8112.40.3000, and
8112.40.6000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, our written description of the scope is
dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order

In accordance with sections 735(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')
made its final determination that ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium
from the Russian Federation (``Russia'') is being sold at less than
fair value (60 FR 27957, May 26, 1995). On July 3, 1995, the
International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department of its
final determination, pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act,
that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason
of imports of the subject merchandise from Russia.
Therefore, all unliquidated entries of ferrovanadium and nitrided
vanadium from Russia that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after January 4, 1995, the date of publication of the
Department's preliminary determination (60 FR 438), are liable for the
assessment of antidumping duties.
In accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department
will direct Customs officers to assess, upon further advice by the
administering authority, antidumping duties equal to the amount by
which the foreign market exceeds the United States price for all
relevant entries of ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from Russia.
Customs officers must require, at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit
equal to the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margins as
noted below.
The ad valorem weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
Manufacturer/Producer/Exporter Average
Margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Galt Alloys, Inc............................................ 3.75
Gesellschaft far Elektrometallurgie m.b.H. (and its related
companies Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation, and
Metallurg, Inc.)........................................... 11.72
Odermet..................................................... 10.10
Russia-wide Rate............................................ 108.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This notice constitutes the antidumping duty order with respect to
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from Russia. Interested parties may
contact the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the Main Commerce
Building, for copies of an updated list of antidumping duty orders
currently in effect.
This order is published in accordance with section 736(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 353.21.

Dated: July 3, 1995.
Barbara R. Stafford,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
