Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to

Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS, within 30 days after the

The Department will issue the final results of this administrative

any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act, unless that time is extended.

Assessment Rates

Upon completion of the administrative review, 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 intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of this review.
If Nava's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we
will calculate an importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of silicomanganese from India entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the company
under review will be the rate established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5
percent, no cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously reviewed
or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the less-than-fair-value investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4)
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this
or any previous review, the cash deposit rate will be the all others
rate from the investigation of this order, 17.74 percent. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Interested Parties

This notice also 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.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: May 29, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
