such cross-section is achieved

products which have been ‘‘worked

which have been beveled or rounded at
the edges. Excluded from these orders
are flat–rolled steel products either
plated or coated with tin, lead,
chromium, chromium oxides, both tin
and lead (‘‘terne plate’’), or both
chromium and chromium oxides (‘‘tin–
free steel’’), whether or not painted,
varnished or coated with plastics or
other nonmetallic substances in
addition to the metallic coating. Also
excluded from these orders are clad
products in straight lengths of 0.1875
inch or more in composite thickness
and of a width which exceeds 150
millimeters and measures at least twice
the thickness. Also excluded from these
orders are certain clad stainless flat–
rolled products, which are three–
layered corrosion–resistant carbon steel
flat–rolled products less than 4.75
millimeters in composite thickness that
consist of a carbon steel flat–rolled
product clad on both sides with
stainless steel in a 20%-60%-20% ratio.

(AlSi) foils in accordance with St3 LG

less than 0.08; manganese is less than
0.30; phosphorous is less than 0.20;
sulfur is less than 0.015; aluminum is
less than 0.01; and the cladding material
is a minimum of 99% aluminum with
silicon/copper/iron of less than 1%. The
products are in strips with thicknesses
of 0.07mm to 4.0mm (inclusive) and
widths of 5mm to 800mm (inclusive).
The thickness ratio of aluminum on
either side of steel may range from 3%/
94%/3% to 10%/80%/10%.

Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Reviews
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Act, the Department will conduct a
changed circumstances review upon
receipt of information concerning, or a
request from an interested party for a
review of, an AD duty order which
shows changed circumstances sufficient
to warrant a review of the order. As
noted above, on November 7, 2005,
Eutectic requested a ruling from the
Department in accordance with 19 CFR
351.216(b) to exclude the ‘‘wear plate’’
product described above from these AD
orders. Therefore, pursuant to section
751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.216(b), we are initiating changed
circumstances reviews. Although
petitioners and domestic interested
parties have expressed a lack of interest
in the orders with respect to the ‘‘wear
plate’’ product in question, they did not
claim that they represent substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product, nor has the Department
made such a determination. Therefore,
the Department is not, at this time,
preliminarily revoking the AD orders
with respect to the product in question
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i).
Interested parties are invited to
comment on this initiation, or to
demonstrate that the petitioners and
domestic interested parties account for
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product.
Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from
Germany, 64 FR 51292 (September 22, 1999). The
Department noted that the affirmative statement of
no interest by petitioners, combined with the lack
of comments from interested parties, is sufficient to
warrant partial revocation.

Public Comment
Interested parties may submit
comments which the Department will
take into account in the preliminary
results of these reviews. The due date
for filing any such comments is no later

notice. Responses to those comments
may be submitted not later than 7 days
following submission of the comments.
All written comments must be
submitted in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303.
The Department will publish in the
Federal Register a notice of preliminary
results of changed circumstances
reviews in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4) and 351.221(c)(3)(i),
which will set forth the Department’s
preliminary factual and legal
conclusions. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(ii), interested parties will
have an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results. The Department
will issue its final results of review in
accordance with the time limits set forth
in 19 CFR 351.216(e).
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and

Background
On September 8, 2005, the

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 248 / Wednesday, December 28, 2005 / Notices
Department’’) published the preliminary
results of this administrative review of
certain cut–to-length carbon steel plate
(‘‘cut–to-length plate’’) from Romania.
See Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel
Plate from Romania: Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Partial
Rescission, 70 FR 53333 (September 8,
2005) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). In the
Preliminary Results we stated that we
would make our final determination for
the antidumping duty review no later
than 120 days after the date of
publication of the preliminary results
(i.e., January 6, 2006).
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results
The Department is extending the time
limit for the final results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on cut–tolength plate from Romania. This review
covers the period August 1, 2003,
through July 31, 2004.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), states
that if it is not practicable to complete
the review within the time specified, the
administering authority may extend the
120-day period, following the date of
publication of the preliminary results, to
issue its final results by an additional 60
days. Due to the complexity of issues
raised in this review segment, including
the respondent’s notification of
unreported sales following the
Department’s preliminary results, and
the respondent’s withdrawal of its
business proprietary versions of all
information submitted on the record of
this review, the completion of the final
results within the 120-day period is not
practicable.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time period for issuing
the final results of review by an
additional 31 days until no later than
February 6, 2006.
Dated: December 21, 2005.

Qingdao Camel, Qingdao Saturn,

not export fresh garlic to the United
States during the period of investigation
(‘‘POI’’). In addition, Lufang and

Camel and Qingdao Saturn,
respectively, provided certifications that
they did not export the subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POI, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(ii)(B). Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), all companies
discussed above certified that, since the
initiation of the investigation, they have
never been affiliated with any exporter
or grower who exported fresh garlic to
the United States during the POI,
including those not individually
examined during the investigation. As
required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B),
these companies also certified that their
export activities are not controlled by
the central government of the PRC.
In addition to the certifications
described above, each exporter

withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption; (2) the volume of its first
shipment and the volume of subsequent
shipments; and (3) the date of its first
sale to an unaffiliated customer in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 8, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the
[[Page 76765]]
Department'') published the preliminary results of this administrative
review of certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate (``cut-to-length
plate'') from Romania. See Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate

(``Preliminary Results''). In the Preliminary Results we stated that we
would make our final determination for the antidumping duty review no
later than 120 days after the date of publication of the preliminary
results (i.e., January 6, 2006).
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results
The Department is extending the time limit for the final results of
the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on cut-to-
length plate from Romania. This review covers the period August 1,
2003, through July 31, 2004.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the
Act''), states that if it is not practicable to complete the review
within the time specified, the administering authority may extend the
120-day period, following the date of publication of the preliminary
results, to issue its final results by an additional 60 days. Due to
the complexity of issues raised in this review segment, including the
respondent's notification of unreported sales following the
Department's preliminary results, and the respondent's withdrawal of
its business proprietary versions of all information submitted on the
record of this review, the completion of the final results within the
120-day period is not practicable.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results
of review by an additional 31 days until no later than February 6,
2006.
