Galva did not ship subject merchandise
during the POR. See Preliminary
Results. From October 20 through
October 21, 2005, the Department
conducted verification of the sales
questionnaire responses provided by
Sorevco for this antidumping
administrative review. From October 26
through October 28, 2005, the
Department conducted a verification of
the sales questionnaire responses
submitted by Dofasco Inc. In addition,
from October 24 through October 25,

Scope of the Review
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is certain
corrosion-resistant steel, and includes
flat-rolled carbon steel products, of
rectangular shape, either clade, plated,
or coated with corrosion-resistant
metals such as zinc, aluminum, or
zinc-, aluminum-, nickel- or iron-based
alloys, whether or not corrugated or
painted, varnished or coated with
plastics or other nonmetallic substances
in addition to the metallic coating, in
coils (whether or not in successively
superimposed layers) and of a width of
0.5 inch or greater, or in straight lengths
which, if of a thickness less than 4.75
millimeters, are of a width of 0.5 inch
or greater and which measures at least
10 times the thickness or if a thickness
of 4.75 millimeters or more are of a
width which exceeds 150 millimeters
and measures at least twice the
thickness, as currently classifiable in the

Analysis of Comments Received
We gave interested parties an
opportunity to comment on our
Preliminary Results following the
release of our verification results for
Dofasco, Sorevoco, and Stelco. The
issues raised in all case and rebuttal
briefs by parties to this administrative
review are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum for the Final
Results of the Administrative Review of
the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products from Canada, from Stephen J.
Claeys to David M. Spooner, dated
March 8, 2006 (Decision Memorandum),
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
A list of the issues discussed in the
Decision Memorandum is appendid to
this notice. The Decision Memorandum
is on file in the CRU, and can be
accessed directly on the Web at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we have corrected certain
ministerial errors and made minor
adjustments in the methodology that
was used in the Preliminary Results
concerning SAS programming errors for
both Dofasco and Stelco, and
disregarded Stelco’s sales of off-spec,
excess prime material sold through
public offerings since we found them
outside the ordinary course of trade. the
adjustments are discussed in detail in
the Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
determine that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
period August 1, 2003, through July 31,

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department
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 that importer. Where
the assessment rate is above de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to assess duties on
all entries of subject merchandise by
that importer.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review produced by companies
included in these final results of
reviews for which the reviewed
companies did not know their
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. For a full
discussion of this clarification, see
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003). In accordance with 19 CFR
356.8(a), the Department will issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP on or after 41 days
following the date of publication of
these final results of review.
Cash Deposits
Furthermore, the following deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
adminisrative review for all shipments
of corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat
products from Canada entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of these final results, as provided
by section 751(a) of the Act: (1) For
companies covered by this review, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate listed
above; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the
investigation, but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be that established
for the producer of the merchandise in
these final results of review, a prior
review, or in the final determination;
and (4) if neither the exporter nor the
producer is a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the
investigation, the cash deposit rate will
be 18.71 percent, the ‘‘All Others’’ rate

established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation. These deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until
publication of the final results of the
next administrative review.
Reimbursement
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) 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 in the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice is the only reminder to
parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and the terms of an APO is
a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these
results and notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
Dated: March 8, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 29, 2005, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
pasta from Italy, covering the period
from July 1, 2004, to June 30, 2005. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 70 FR 51009 (August 29, 2005).
The preliminary results of this review
are currently due no later than April 3,
2006.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to make a
preliminary determination within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order or finding for which
a review is requested. Consistent with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department may extend the 245-day
period to 365 days if it is not practicable
to complete the review within a 245-day
period.
We determine that completion of the
preliminary results of this review within
the 245-day period is not practicable
because additional time is needed by
the Department to gather supplemental
responses from the companies
participating in the review. In order to
obtain and analyze necessary additional
information, and in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of review by 45
days to May 18, 2006. Therefore, the
preliminary results are now due no later
than May 18, 2006. The final results
continue to be due 120 days after
publication of the preliminary results.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(I) of the Act.

Include in this order are corrosion-resistant flat-rolled products
of non-rectangular cross-section where such cross-section is achieved
subsequent to the rolling process (i.e., products which have been
``worked after rolling'')--for example, products which have been
beveled or rounded at the edges. Excluded from this order 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 this order 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 this order 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.
Analysis of Comments Received
We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on our
Preliminary Results following the release of our verification results
for Dofasco, Sorevoco, and Stelco. The issues raised in all case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this administrative review are addressed
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from Canada, from
Stephen J. Claeys to David M. Spooner, dated March 8, 2006 (Decision
Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum is appendid to this notice.
The Decision Memorandum is on file in the CRU, and can be accessed
directly on the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments received, we have corrected
certain ministerial errors and made minor adjustments in the
methodology that was used in the Preliminary Results concerning SAS
programming errors for both Dofasco and Stelco, and disregarded
Stelco's sales of off-spec, excess prime material sold through public
offerings since we found them outside the ordinary course of trade. the
adjustments are discussed in detail in the Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period August 1, 2003,
through July 31, 2004:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted
average
Manufacturer/exporter margin

Assessment
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection
[[Page 13584]]
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department 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 that importer. Where the
assessment rate is above de minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess
duties on all entries of subject merchandise by that importer.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period of review produced by companies
included in these final results of reviews for which the reviewed
companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). In
accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a), the Department will issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP on or after 41 days following
the date of publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposits
Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective
upon publication of the final results of this adminisrative review for
all shipments of corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from
Canada entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of these final results, as provided by
section 751(a) of the Act: (1) For companies covered by this review,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate listed above; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the investigation, but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be that established for the producer of the
merchandise in these final results of review, a prior review, or in the
final determination; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the producer
is a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the investigation,
the cash deposit rate will be 18.71 percent, the ``All Others'' rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. These deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until publication of the final
results of the next administrative review.
Reimbursement
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 in the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely
written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 8, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
