Background
On May 3, 2004, the Department
initiated and the ITC instituted a sunset
review of the suspended antidumping
duty investigation on certain hot-rolled
flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products
from Russia, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’).1 As a result of its review,
the Department found that termination
of the suspended antidumping duty
investigation would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and notified the ITC of the magnitude of
the margin likely to prevail were the
suspended investigation to be revoked.2
On May 5, 2005, the ITC determined
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that termination of the suspended
antidumping duty investigation on

certain hot-rolled flat-rolled carbonquality steel products from Russia
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.3
Scope of the Suspended Investigation
See Appendix 1.
Determination
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC pursuant to
section 751(d)(2) of the Act that
termination of this antidumping
suspended duty investigation would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of subsidies and material injury to an
industry in the United States, the
Department hereby orders the
continuation of the suspended
antidumping duty investigation on
certain hot-rolled flat-rolled carbonquality steel products from Russia.
Normally, the effective date of
continuation of this suspended
investigation would be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this Notice of Continuation.
Except as provided in 19 CFR sections
351.218 (d)(1)(iii)(B)(3) and
351.222(i)(1)(i), the Department
normally will issue its determination to
continue an order or suspended
investigation, or to revoke an order or
terminate a suspended investigation, as
applicable, not later than seven days
after the date of publication in the
Federal Register of the ITC’s
determination concluding the sunset
review. The Department immediately
thereafter will publish notice of its
determination in the Federal Register.
In the instant case, however, the
Department’s publication of the Notice
of Continuation was delayed. Therefore,
we determine that the effective date of
continuation of this finding is May 12,
2005, seven days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the ITC’s determination. Pursuant to
sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6)(A) of
the Act, the Department intends to
initiate the next five-year review of this
finding not later than April 2010.
These five-year (sunset) review and
notice are in accordance with sections
751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218
(f)(4).

Appendix 1
Scope of the Suspended Investigation on HotRolled Steel From Russia (A–821–809)
The products covered under the suspended
investigation are 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
successively superimposed layers) regardless
of thickness, and in straight lengths, of a
thickness less than 4.75 mm and of a width
measuring at least 10 times the thickness.
Universal mill plate (i.e., flat-rolled products
rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass,
of a width exceeding 150 mm but not
exceeding 1250 mm and of a thickness of not
less than 4 mm, not in coils and without
patterns in relief) of a thickness not less than
4.0 mm is not included within the scope of
this review.
Specifically included in this scope are
vacuum degassed, fully stabilized (commonly
referred to as interstitial-free (‘‘IF’’)) steels,
high strength low alloy (‘‘HSLA’’) steels, and
the substrate for motor lamination steels. IF
steels are recognized as low carbon steels
with micro-alloying levels of elements such
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 microalloying levels of elements such as silicon
and aluminum.
Steel products to be included in the scope
of this review, regardless of 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 review unless
otherwise excluded. The following products,
by way of example, are outside and/or
specifically excluded from the scope of this
review:
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.Tool steels, as defined in the HTSUS.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel plate in coils (SSPC) from Belgium.
For the period May 1, 2003, through
April 30, 2004, we have preliminarily
determined that U.S. sales have been
made below normal value (NV). If these
preliminary results are adopted in our
final results, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties based on the
difference between the constructed
export price (CEP) and NV. See

Federal Register. In the instant case, however, the Department's
publication of the Notice of Continuation was delayed. Therefore, we
determine that the effective date of continuation of this finding is
May 12, 2005, seven days after the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the ITC's determination. Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and
751(c)(6)(A) of the Act, the Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of this finding not later than April 2010.
These five-year (sunset) review and notice are in accordance with
sections 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218 (f)(4).
Dated: May 27, 2005

Appendix 1
Scope of the Suspended Investigation on Hot-Rolled Steel From
Russia (A-821-809)
The products covered under the suspended investigation are
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 successively superimposed layers) regardless of
thickness, and in straight lengths, of a thickness less than 4.75 mm
and of a width measuring at least 10 times the thickness. Universal
mill plate (i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on four faces or in a
closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 1250
mm and of a thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in coils and
without patterns in relief) of a thickness not less than 4.0 mm is
not included within the scope of this review.
Specifically included in this scope are vacuum degassed, fully
stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free (``IF''))
steels, high strength low alloy (``HSLA'') steels, and the substrate
for motor lamination steels. IF steels are recognized as low carbon
steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such 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 review,
regardless of 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.[FEDREG][VOL]*[/
