None.
In accordance with section 351.213(b)
of the regulations, an interested party as
defined by section 771(9) of the Act,
may request in writing that the
Secretary conduct an administrative
review. For both antidumping and
countervailing duty reviews, the
interested party must specify the
individual producers or exporters
covered by an antidumping finding or
an antidumping or countervailing duty
order or suspension agreement for
which it is requesting a review, and the
requesting party must state why it
desires the Secretary to review those
particular producers or exporters. If the
interested party intends for the
Secretary to review sales of merchandise
by an exporter (or a producer if that
producer also exports merchandise from
other suppliers) which were produced
in more than one country of origin and
each country of origin is subject to a
separate order, then the interested party
must state specifically, on an order-byorder basis, which exporter(s) the
request is intended to cover.
As explained in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 69
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the Department
has clarified its practice with respect to
the collection of final antidumping
duties on imports of merchandise where
intermediate firms are involved. The
public should be aware of this
clarification in determining whether to
request an administrative review of
merchandise subject to antidumping
findings and orders. See also the Import
Administration Web site at https://
www.ia.ita.doc.gov.
Six copies of the request should be
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street &

review of entries covered by an order,
finding, or suspended investigation
listed in this notice and for the period
identified above, the Department will
instruct the Customs Service to assess
antidumping or countervailing duties on
those entries at a rate equal to the cash
deposit of (or bond for) estimated
antidumping or countervailing duties
required on those entries at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from use, for
consumption and to continue to collect
the cash deposit previously ordered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 19, 1993, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published an antidumping duty order
on certain corrosion-resistant carbon
steel flat products from Japan. See
Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain
Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products From Japan, 58 FR 44163
(August 19, 1993). On October 26, 2004,
Taiho requested that the Department
revoke the antidumping duty order on
24 separate bushing alloy-lined
corrosion-resistant carbon steel coil
products from Japan through the
initiation of a changed circumstances
review. See section 751(b) of the Tariff
Act of 1930 (the Act). Taiho also
requested that the Department conduct
an expedited changed circumstances
review pursuant to 19 CFR
351.221(c)(3)(ii).
Taiho asserts that the domestic
producers, United States Steel (U.S.
Steel), and International Steel Group
(ISG), do not have any interest in the
continuation of the order with respect to
the 24 products. The Department
received a letter on November 22, 2004,
on behalf of U.S. Steel stating they have
no objection to the initiation of the
changed circumstances review, and on
December 3, 2004, received a letter on
behalf of ISG, attesting to their lack of
interest regarding continuation of the
order with respect to the specified 24
products.
In response to Taiho’s request and
based on the information provided by
U.S. Steel and ISG, on December 20,
2004, the Department simultaneously
initiated a changed circumstances
review and issued a notice of
preliminary intent to revoke the order,
in part (69 FR 75907). The Department
provided interested parties an
opportunity to comment on our
preliminary intent to revoke the order,
in part, with respect to the specified 24
products. We did not receive any
comments. Therefore, the final results of
review are not different from the
preliminary results and we are revoking

Final Results of Review and Revocation
of Antidumping Duty Order, In Part
Pursuant to sections 751(d)(1) and
782(h)(2) of the Act, as amended (the
Act), the Department may revoke an
antidumping or countervailing duty
order based on a review under section
751(b) of the Act (i.e., a changed
circumstances review). Section 751(b)(1)
of the Act requires a changed
circumstances review to be conducted
upon receipt of a request which shows
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant a review.
In this case, based on the information
provided by Taiho, and comments from
U.S. Steel and ISG, the Department
preliminarily found that the continued
relief provided by the order with respect
to the 24 separate products from Japan
is no longer of interest to the domestic
industry. We did not receive any
comments. Therefore, the Department is
revoking the order on CORE from Japan
with regard to the products that meet
the specifications detailed above.
We will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate
without regard to antidumping duties,
and to refund any estimated
antidumping duties collected on all
unliquidated entries of the 24 separate
products which are not covered by the
final results of an administrative review
or automatic liquidation. The most
recent period for which the Department
has completed an administrative review,
or ordered automatic liquidation, is
August 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003.
Therefore, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after August 1, 2003, i.e., after the close
of the last completed review. Any prior
entries are subject to either the final
results of review or automatic
liquidation. We will also instruct CBP to
pay interest on such refunds in
accordance with section 778 of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(4).
This changed circumstances
administrative review, partial
revocation of the antidumping duty
order and notice are in accordance with
sections 751(b) and (d) and 782(h) of the
Act and section 351.216(e) and

Amendment to Final Determination
In accordance with sections 735(a)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended, (the Act), on December 23,
2004, the Department published its
notice of final determination of sales at
less than fair value (LTFV) in the
investigation of certain frozen and
canned warmwater shrimp from Brazil.
See Notice of Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain
Frozen and Canned Warmwater Shrimp
from Brazil, 69 FR 76910 (Final
Determination). On December 23, 2004,
we received an allegation, timely filed
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2), from
the petitioners (i.e., Ad Hoc Shrimp
Trade Action Committee, Versaggi
Shrimp Corporation, and Indian Ridge
Shrimp Company) that the Department
made a ministerial error with respect to
1 On January 21, 2005, the International Trade
Commission (ITC) notified the Department of
Commerce (the Department) of its final
determination that two domestic like products exist
for the merchandise covered by the Department’s
investigation: 1) certain non-canned warmwater
shrimp and prawns; and 2) canned warmwater
shrimp and prawns. The ITC determined that
imports of canned warmwater shrimp and prawns
from Brazil were negligible; therefore, canned
warmwater shrimp and prawns will not be covered
by the antidumping duty order.

on December 30, 2004, we received
allegations, timely filed pursuant to 19
CFR 351.224(c)(2), from the petitioners
and the respondents (i.e, Central de
Industrializacao e Distribuicao de
¸˜
¸˜
Alimentos Ltda. (CIDA) and Empresa de
Armazenagem Frigorifica Ltda.
(EMPAF)) that the Department also
made ministerial errors in the final
margin calculations. On January 5 and
10, 2005, we received submissions
containing rebuttal comments from the
petitioners with respect to the
ministerial error allegations made by
EMPAF and CIDA, respectively.
After analyzing the submissions filed
by CIDA, EMPAF, the petitioners, and
the other interested parties, we have
determined, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(e), that we made the following
ministerial errors in our calculations
performed for the final determination:
Æ We inadvertently failed to convert
third country variable costs to the same
unit of measure as U.S. variable costs
before calculating the difference–inmerchandise adjustment for CIDA.
Æ We inadvertently used incorrect
programming to convert normal values
to the same unit of measure as the
United States price which resulted in an
incomplete conversion of normal value
for CIDA.
Æ We inadvertently used an incorrect
dataset (CEPTOT) in the final margin
program for EMPAF that was not
created by the comparison market
program.
Æ We inadvertently allocated the entire
amount of the unreconciled difference
between the financial statements and
the submitted cost to the cost of fresh
shrimp for EMPAF.
Correcting these errors results in
revised margins for CIDA and EMPAF.
In addition, we have revised the
calculation of the ‘‘all others’’ rate
accordingly.
For a detailed discussion of the
ministerial errors alleged by the
petitioners and the respondents, as well
as the Department’s analysis, see the
January 24, 2005, memorandum to Louis
Apple from the Team entitled
‘‘Ministerial Error Allegations in the
Final Determination of the Antidumping
Duty Investigation of Certain Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil.’’
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(e), we are amending the final
determination of sales at LTFV in the

Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances
Review and Revocation, in Part: Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon
Steel Flat Products From Japan
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective Date: February 1, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Hargett, George McMahon,
or James Terpstra, AD/CVD Operations, Office 3, Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 19, 1993, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published an antidumping duty order on certain corrosion-resistant
carbon steel flat products from Japan. See Antidumping Duty Orders:
Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products From Japan, 58
FR 44163 (August 19, 1993). On October 26, 2004, Taiho requested that
the Department revoke the antidumping duty order on 24 separate bushing
alloy-lined corrosion-resistant carbon steel coil products from Japan
through the initiation of a changed circumstances review. See section
751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act). Taiho also requested that
the Department conduct an expedited changed circumstances review
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii).
Taiho asserts that the domestic producers, United States Steel
(U.S. Steel), and International Steel Group (ISG), do not have any
interest in the continuation of the order with respect to the 24
products. The Department received a letter on November 22, 2004, on
behalf of U.S. Steel stating they have no objection to the initiation
of the changed circumstances review, and on December 3, 2004, received
a letter on behalf of ISG, attesting to their lack of interest
regarding continuation of the order with respect to the specified 24
products.
In response to Taiho's request and based on the information
provided by U.S. Steel and ISG, on December 20, 2004, the Department
simultaneously initiated a changed circumstances review and issued a
notice of preliminary intent to revoke the order, in part (69 FR
75907). The Department provided interested parties an opportunity to
comment on our preliminary intent to revoke the order, in part, with
respect to the specified 24 products. We did not receive any comments.
Therefore, the final results of review are not different from the
preliminary results and we are revoking
[[Page 5138]]
the order, in part, with respect to the specified 24 products as
described in the ``Scope of the Order'' section of this notice.
Scope of the Order
The products subject to this order include flat-rolled carbon steel
products, of rectangular shape, either clad, plated, or coated with

Final Results of Review and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order, In
Part
Pursuant to sections 751(d)(1) and 782(h)(2) of the Act, as amended
(the Act), the Department may revoke an antidumping or countervailing
duty order based on a review under section 751(b) of the Act (i.e., a
changed circumstances review). Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a
changed circumstances review to be conducted upon receipt of a request
which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review.
In this case, based on the information provided by Taiho, and
comments from U.S. Steel and ISG, the Department preliminarily found
that the continued relief provided by the order with respect to the 24
separate products from Japan is no longer of interest to the domestic
industry. We did not receive any comments. Therefore, the Department is
revoking the order on CORE from Japan with regard to the products that
meet the specifications detailed above.
We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate without regard to antidumping duties, and to refund any
estimated antidumping duties collected on all unliquidated entries of
the 24 separate products which are not covered by the final results of
an administrative review or automatic liquidation. The most recent
period for which the Department has completed an administrative review,
or ordered automatic liquidation, is August 1, 2002 through July 31,
2003. Therefore, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 1, 2003,
i.e., after the close of the last completed review. Any prior entries
are subject to either the final results of review or automatic
liquidation. We will also instruct CBP to pay interest on such refunds
in accordance with section 778 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(4).
This changed circumstances administrative review, partial
revocation of the antidumping duty order and notice are in accordance
with sections 751(b) and (d) and 782(h) of the Act and section
351.216(e) and 351.222(g)(1)(i) of the Department's regulations.
Dated: January 26, 2005.
