Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. We intend to
issue assessment instructions directly to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review. Given that
the Department continues to determine
that the exporters under review had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered
under the exporter’s case number (i.e., at
that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at
the PRC-wide rate, in accordance with
our practice.11

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2016, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review’’ of the
countervailing duty order on citric acid
and certain citrate salts (citric acid) from
the PRC for the period January 1, 2015,
through December 31, 2015.1 In May
2016, the Department received a timely
request, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b), for an administrative review
of this countervailing duty order from
the Archer Daniels Midland Company,
Cargill, Incorporated, and Tate & Lyle
Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively,
the petitioners).2 On July 7, 2016, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation with
respect to 18 individually-named
companies or company groups.3
On October 5, 2016, the petitioners
timely withdrew their administrative
review request.4
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
petitioners withdrew their requests for
review by the 90-day deadline. No other
parties requested an administrative
review of the order. Therefore, we are
rescinding the administrative review of

acid from the PRC covering the period

SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
U.S. International Trade Commission
(USITC) that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on certain hotrolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel
products (hot-rolled steel) from the
Russian Federation (Russia) would

likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, the
Department is publishing a notice of
continuation of this antidumping duty
order.
DATES: Effective date: October 20, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 24, 2014, the
Department published the antidumping
duty order on hot-rolled steel from
Russia.1 On May 2, 2016, the
Department initiated a sunset review of
the Russia Order pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).2
As a result of this sunset review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the Russia Order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the USITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail should the order be
revoked.3
On October 5, 2016, the USITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation
of the Russia Order would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United Sates within a reasonably
foreseeable time.4
Scope of the Order
For the purposes of this order, ‘‘hotrolled steel’’ means certain hot-rolled
flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products
of a rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5
inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor
coated with metal and whether or not
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic
substances, in coils (whether or not in

as titanium and/or niobium added to
stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements.
HSLA steels are recognized as steels
with micro-alloying levels of elements
such as chromium, copper, niobium,
titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum.
The substrate for motor lamination
steels contains micro-alloying levels of
elements such as silicon and aluminum.
Steel products to be included in the
scope of this order, regardless of
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) definitions, are
products in which: (1) Iron
predominates, by weight, over each of
the other contained elements; (2) the
carbon content is 2 percent or less, by
weight; and (3) none of the elements
listed below exceeds the quantity, by
weight, respectively indicated: 1.80
percent of manganese, or 1.50 percent of
silicon, or 1.00 percent of copper, or
0.50 percent of aluminum, or 1.25
percent of chromium, or 0.30 percent of
cobalt, or 0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25
percent of nickel, or 0.30 percent of
tungsten, or 0.012 percent of boron, or
0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 0.10
percent of niobium, or 0.41 percent of
titanium, or 0.15 percent of vanadium,
or 0.15 percent of zirconium.
All products that meet the physical
and chemical description provided
above are within the scope of this order
unless otherwise excluded. The
following products, by way of example,
are outside and/or specifically excluded
from the scope of this order:
—Alloy hot-rolled steel products in
which at least one of the chemical
elements exceeds those listed above
(including e.g., ASTM specifications
A543, A387, A514, A517, and A506).
—SAE/AISI grades of series 2300 and
higher.
—Ball bearing steels, as defined in the
HTSUS.
