SUMMARY: On August 19, 2005, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the new shipper review of the
antidumping duty order on certain hot–
rolled flat–rolled carbon quality steel
products (hot–rolled steel products)
from Brazil. The review covers one
manufacturer/exporter, Companhia
´
˜
Siderurgica de Tubarao (CST). Although
interested parties had an opportunity to
comment on our preliminary results, we
received no comments. The Department
has not made any changes in its analysis
following the publication of the
preliminary results. Therefore, the final
results of review are unchanged from
those presented in the preliminary
results of review.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 31, 2005.

of greater, neither clad, plated, nor
coated with metal and whether or not
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics of 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. Specifically
included in this scope are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (IF) steels,
high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels,
and the substrate for motor lamination
steels. Steel products to be included in
the scope of this agreement, regardless

Final Results of Review
We determine that a margin of 0.00
percent exists for CST for the period
March 1, 2004, through August 31,
2004.
Assessment
The Department will determine, and
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b). We have calculated
importer–specific duty assessment rates
on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the examined
sales for each importer. We will direct
CBP to assess the resulting assessment
rates against the entered customs values
for the subject merchandise on each of
the importer’s entries during the review
period. The Department will issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to the CBP within 15 days of
publication of these final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Bonding is no longer permitted to
fulfill security requirements for
shipments from CST of hot–rolled steel
products from Brazil entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of these final results of new shipper
review. The following cash–deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
new shipper review for all shipments of
subject merchandise entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption on or after the publication
date as provided for by section 751(a)(1)
and 751 (a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act):
• for subject merchandise manufactured
and exported by CST the cash deposit
rate shall be 0.00 percent;
• for subject merchandise exported by
CST but not manufactured by CST the
cash–deposit rate will continue to be the
‘‘all others’’ rate or the rate applicable
to the manufacturer, if so established;
• the cash deposit rate for exporters who
received a rate in a prior segment of the
proceeding will continue to be the rate
assigned in that segment of the
proceeding;
• if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review or in any previous
segment of this proceeding, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be that established for the
manufacturer in the most recent
segment of these proceedings in which
that manufacturer participated;

• if neither the exporter nor the
manufacturer is a firm covered in this
review or in any previous segment of
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will be 42.12 percent, the all others rate
established in the less–than-fair–value
investigation. (See Notice of
Antidumping Duty Order and Sales at
Less Than Fair Value: Certain Hot–
Rolled Flat–Rolled Carbon Quality Steel
Products from Brazil, 67 FR 11093
(March 12, 2002)).
These deposit requirements shall
remain in effect until publication of the
final results of the next administrative
review.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR § 351.402(f)
to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
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. Timely written
notification of return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing this
new shipper review and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)
and 777(i) of the Act.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is extending the time
limit for the final results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
stainless steel butt–weld pipe fittings
from Taiwan. The period of review is
June 1, 2003, through May 31, 2004.
This extension is made pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended by the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act (the Act).
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 31, 2005.

telephone: (202) 482–0405 and (202)
482–8221, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 11, 2005, the Department
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
stainless steel butt–weld pipe fittings
from Taiwan covering the period June 1,
2003, through May 31, 2004. See 70 FR
39735. The final results for the
antidumping duty administrative review
of certain stainless steel butt–weld pipe
fittings from Taiwan are currently due
no later than November 8, 2005.
Extension of Time Limits for Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
requires the Department to make a final
determination in an administrative
review within 120 days after the date on
which the preliminary determination is
published. However, if it is not
practicable to complete the review
within this time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the final results to 180 days (or 300 days
if the Department does not extend the
time limit for the preliminary results)
from the date of publication of the
preliminary results.
In accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2), the Department finds that
it is not practicable to complete the
review within the original time frame
(i.e., by November 8, 2005) because of
voluminous affiliation allegations raised
in petitioners’ case briefs, requiring
more time for analysis. Because it is not
practicable to complete this
administrative review within the time
limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the

and (202) 482-7871, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 19, 2005, the Department published the preliminary
results of new shipper review of certain hot-rolled steel products from
Brazil. See Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel
Products from Brazil; Preliminary Results of New Shipper Review, 70 FR
48668 (August 19, 2005). No party submitted comments on the preliminary
results.
Period of Review
The period of review (POR) is March 1, 2004, through August 31,
2004.
Scope of Review
The products covered by this order are certain hot-rolled flat-
rolled carbon-quality steel products of a rectangular shape, of a width
of 0.5 inch of greater, neither clad, plated, nor coated with metal and
whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics of 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. Specifically included in this scope are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (IF) steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA)
steels, and the substrate for motor lamination steels. Steel products
to be included in the scope of this agreement, regardless of Harmonized
Tariff Schedule (HTS) definitions, are products in which: (1) iron
predominates, by weight, over each of the other contained elements; (2)
the carbon content is 2 percent of less, by weight; and (3) none of the
elements listed below exceeds certain specified quantities.
The merchandise subject to the order is currently classifiable
under subheadings 7208.10.15.00, 7208.10.30.00, 7208.10.60.00,

7226.99.00.00. Although the HTS subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under
review is dispositive of whether or not the merchandise is covered by
the scope of the order.
Final Results of Review
We determine that a margin of 0.00 percent exists for CST for the
period March 1, 2004, through August 31, 2004.
Assessment
The Department will determine, and the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b). We have calculated importer-
specific duty assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the examined sales for each importer. We will
direct CBP to assess the resulting assessment rates against the entered
customs values for the subject merchandise on each of the importer's
entries during the review period. The Department will issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to the CBP within 15 days of
publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Bonding is no longer permitted to fulfill security requirements for
shipments from CST of hot-rolled steel products from Brazil entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication
date of these final results of new shipper review. The following cash-
deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final
results of this new shipper review for all shipments of subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or
after the publication date as provided for by section 751(a)(1) and 751
(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act):
for subject merchandise manufactured and exported by CST the
cash deposit rate shall be 0.00 percent;
for subject merchandise exported by CST but not manufactured
by CST the cash-deposit rate will continue to be the ``all others''
rate or the rate applicable to the manufacturer, if so established;
the cash deposit rate for exporters who received a rate in a
prior segment of the proceeding will continue to be the rate assigned
in that segment of the proceeding;
if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be that established for the manufacturer in the most
recent segment of these proceedings in which that manufacturer
participated;
[[Page 62298]]
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered
in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will be 42.12 percent, the all others rate established in
the less-than-fair-value investigation. (See Notice of Antidumping Duty
Order and Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled
Carbon Quality Steel Products from Brazil, 67 FR 11093 (March 12,
2002)).
These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication
of the final results of the next administrative review.
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR Sec. 351.402(f) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
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 Sec. 351.305. Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
