Memorandum for the Expedited Sunset
Reviews of the Antidumping Duty
Orders on Stainless Steel Wire Rods
from Brazil, France, and India; Final
Results, from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD
Operations to Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated October 31, 2005
(Decision Memo), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. The issues
discussed in the Decision Memo include
the likelihood of continuation or
recurrence of dumping and the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail if the orders were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in these sunset
reviews and the corresponding
recommendations in this public memo,
which is on file in room B–099 of the
main Commerce Building.
In addition, a complete version of the
Decision Memo can be accessed directly

Final Results of Reviews
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on stainless

Certain Tin Mill Products from Japan; Final Results of the
Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On July 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
initiated the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain
tin mill products from Japan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On the basis of a notice of intent
to participate and adequate substantive responses filed on behalf of
domestic interested parties and no response from respondent interested
parties, the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review.
As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation
of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of dumping. The dumping margins are identified in the Final
Results of Review section of this notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 7, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2005, the Department initiated a sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on tin mill products from Japan pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'')
Reviews, 70 FR 38101 (July 1, 2005). The Department received notices of
intent to participate from two domestic interested parties, United
States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) and Mittal Steel USA ISG Inc.
(Mittal Steel) (collectively, domestic interested parties), within the
deadline specified in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department's
regulations. Domestic interested parties claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S. producers of the
domestic like product. We received complete substantive responses from
the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). However, we did not receive any response from
any respondent interested parties. As a result, pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the
Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of these orders.
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes tin mill flat-rolled products that
are coated or plated with tin, chromium or chromium oxides. Flat-rolled
steel products coated with tin are known as tin plate. Flat-rolled
steel products coated with chromium or chromium oxides are known as
tin-free steel or electrolytic chromium-coated steel. The scope
includes all the noted tin mill products regardless of thickness,
width, form (in coils or cut sheets), coating type (electrolytic or
otherwise), edge (trimmed, untrimmed or further processed, such as
scroll cut), coating thickness, surface finish, temper, coating metal
(tin, chromium, chromium oxide), reduction (single-or double-reduced),
and whether or not coated with a plastic material. All products that
meet the written physical description are within the scope of this
order unless specifically excluded. The following products, by way of

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this sunset review are addressed in the
``Issues and Decision Memorandum'' from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated October 31,
2005, (``Decision Memorandum''), which is hereby adopted by this
notice. The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum include the
likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude
of the margin likely to prevail if the order were revoked. Parties can
find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this sunset review
and the corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum, which
is on file in room B-099 of the main Department building.
In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be
accessed directly on the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn, under the
heading ``November 2005.'' The paper copy and electronic version of the
Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Review
We determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on tin
mill products from Japan would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping at the following percentage weighted-average
margins:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-Average
Manufacturers/Exporters/Producers Margin (Percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nippon Steel Corporation............................ 95.29
Kawasaki Steel Corporation.......................... 95.29
NKK Corporation..................................... 95.29
Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd................................. 95.29
All Other Japanese Manufacturers and Exporters...... 32.52
