1. ON 07/02/2012, IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST BY FEDMET RESOURCES CORPORATION (FEDMET), COMMERCE ISSUED A FINAL SCOPE DETERMINATION THAT FEDMET'S BASTION PRODUCT LINE OF MAGNESIA ALUMINA CARBON BRICKS, WHICH IT IMPORTS, IS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON MAGNESIA CARBON BRICKS FROM MEXICO (A-201-837).

2. BECAUSE THE IMPORTED PRODUCT HAS PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS THAT FALL WITHIN THE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ORDER; EXHIBITS THE SAME PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AND APPLICATIONS OF MAGNESIA CARBON BRICKS; AND, IS MARKETED AND ADVERTISED FOR SIMILAR USES AS IN-SCOPE MAGNESIA CARBON BRICKS, COMMERCE FOUND THIS PRODUCT TO BE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ORDER.

3. CONTINUE TO SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF ENTRIES OF MAGNESIA CARBON BRICKS FROM MEXICO, INCLUDING THE BASTION PRODUCT LINE OF MAGNESIA ALUMINA CARBON BRICKS IMPORTED BY FEDMET DESCRIBED ABOVE, SUBJECT TO THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON MAGNESIA CARBON BRICKS FROM MEXICO.
