Titanium Sponge From the Russian Federation: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

On September 8, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping finding on titanium sponge from the Russian Federation (``Russia''). The review covers the period August 1, 1996, through July 31, 1997. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results. We received comments from Titanium Metals Corporation (``the petitioner'') and rebuttal comments from AVISMA Magnesium-Titanium Works (``AVISMA'') and Interlink Metals & Chemicals S.A. and Interlink Metals, Inc. (collectively ``Interlink''). We did not receive any comments from TMC Trading International, Ltd., the other respondent in this review. After considering these comments, we have not changed the final results from those presented in the preliminary results of review.
