Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review Pursuant to section 751(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (‘‘the Act’’), the Department may revoke an antidumping duty order based on a review under section 751(b) of the Act. 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i) provides that the Department may revoke an order, in whole or in part, based on changed circumstances if ‘‘(p)roducers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the order (or part of the order to be revoked) have expressed a lack of interest in the order, in whole or in part.’’ See also section 781(h)(2) of the Act. In this context, the Department has interpreted ‘‘substantially all’’ production normally to mean at least 85 percent of domestic production of the like product. See Oil Country Tubular Goods from Mexico: Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 64 FR 14213, 14214 (March 24, 1999). See also Certain Tin Mill Products from Japan: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 66 FR 52109, 52110 (October 12, 2001). U.S. Steel objects to the revocation, in part, of the order and claims that it constitutes over 15 percent of the total domestic production. See Letter from U.S. Steel, December 27, 2004. Metal One has not shown, as required by 351.222(g)(1)(i) of the Department’s regulations, that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product have expressed a lack of interest in the order. Therefore, the Department preliminarily determines that there is insufficient evidence to warrant exclusion of the products included in Metal One’s VerDate jul<14>2003 22:07 Jun 20, 2005 Jkt 205001 0 ¥ 8 microns with both sides having a coating of at least 0.2 microns. 0.035 mm to 0.762 mm. changed circumstances review request from the scope of the order. As Metal One has not met the requirement showing that substantially all of the producers of the domestic like product are no longer interested in the products included in Metal One’s changes circumstances review request, Metal One’s claim that its products is similar to products already excluded from the order is moot. Public Comment Any interested party may request a hearing within 10 days of publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). Any hearing, if requested, will be held 21 days after the date of publication of this notice, or the first working day thereafter. Interested parties may submit case briefs and/or written comments no later than 14 days after the date of publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii). Rebuttal briefs and rebuttals to written comments, which must be limited to issues raised in such briefs or comments, may be filed no later than 19 days after the date of publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 351.309(d). Parties who submit arguments are requested to submit with the argument (1) a statement of the issue, (2) a brief summary of the argument, and (3) a table of authorities. Consistent with 19 CFR 351.216(e), we will issue the final results of this changed circumstances review no later than 270 days after the date on which this review was initiated. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(I)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216.

See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Cut– to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania, 58 FR 44167 (August 19, 1993) (‘‘Order’’). On March 14, 2005, Mittal Steel submitted a letter stating that it is the successor–in-interest to Sidex and, as such, is entitled to receive the same antidumping duty treatment previously accorded to Sidex. See Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania: Notice of Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 12651 (March 15, 2005). In that same letter, Mittal Steel explained that on February 7, 2005, Sidex changed its corporate name to Mittal Steel, following the approval of the name change by Sidex’s General Meeting of Shareholders on January 10, 2005. Mittal provided record evidence indicating that the name change was unconditionally recorded and approved by the Trade Register Office of the Galati Tribunal and the National Office of the Trade Registry, a bureau of the Romanian Ministry of Justice, on February 7, 2005. In the March 14, 2005, letter, Mittal Steel also requested that the Department conduct an expedited changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on carbon steel plate from Romania pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act (‘‘the Act’’), as amended, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). Because the record evidence supporting Mittal Steel’s claim was sufficient, the Department found that an expedited review was practicable and, on May 3, 2005, issued a combined notice of initiation with the preliminary results. See Preliminary Results. In its Preliminary Results, the Department provided the interested parties with an opportunity to comment or request a public hearing regarding the Department’s finding that Mittal Steel is the successor–in-interest to Sidex.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 19, 1993, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the antidumping duty order on carbon steel plate from Romania. 
See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon 
Steel Plate from Romania, 58 FR 44167 (August 19, 1993) (``Order''). On 
March 14, 2005, Mittal Steel submitted a letter stating that it is the 
successor-in-interest to Sidex and, as such, is entitled to receive the 
same antidumping duty treatment previously accorded to Sidex. See 
Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania: Notice of Final 
Results and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 70 FR 12651 (March 15, 2005). In that same letter, Mittal Steel 
explained that on February 7, 2005, Sidex changed its corporate name to 
Mittal Steel, following the approval of the name change by Sidex's 
General Meeting of Shareholders on January 10, 2005. Mittal provided 
record evidence indicating that the name change was unconditionally 
recorded and approved by the Trade Register Office of the Galati 
Tribunal and the National Office of the Trade Registry, a bureau of the 
Romanian Ministry of Justice, on February 7, 2005. In the March 14, 
2005, letter, Mittal Steel also requested that the Department conduct 
an expedited changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order 
on carbon steel plate from Romania pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 
Tariff Act (``the Act''), as amended, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). 
Because the record evidence supporting Mittal Steel's claim was 
sufficient, the Department found that an expedited review was 
practicable and, on May 3, 2005, issued a combined notice of initiation 
with the preliminary results. See Preliminary Results.
    In its Preliminary Results, the Department provided the interested 
parties with an opportunity to comment or request a public hearing 
regarding the Department's finding that Mittal Steel is the successor-
in-interest to Sidex. No comments were submitted, nor was a public 
hearing requested.

Scope of the Order

    For a complete description of the scope of the order, see Certain 
Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania: Notice of Final Results 
and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
70 FR 12651 (March 15, 2005).

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, and because we 
received no comments to the contrary, we continue to find that Mittal 
Steel is the successor-in-interest to Sidex. We will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to apply the cash deposit rate 
determination in this changed circumstances review to all entries of 
the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of 
this changed circumstances review. See Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene 
Resin from Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 
Circumstances Review, 68 FR 25327 (May 12, 2003). The cash deposit rate 
shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the 
next administrative review in which Mittal Steel participates.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion 
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply 
with the regulations and the terms of APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) 
of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.216.

    Dated: June 13, 2005.
