(December 1, 2005). In response to a

initiated an administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on HRC from
India with respect to Essar. On February
16, 2006, Essar requested that the

States during the POR. See letter from
Arent Fox PLLC, on behalf of Essar,
dated February 16, 2006, on file in the
Central Records Unit (CRU).
Scope of Order
The merchandise subject to this order

quality steel products of a rectangular
shape, of a width of 0.5 inch or greater,
neither clad, plated, nor coated with
metal and whether or not painted,
varnished, or coated with plastics or
other non–metallic substances, in coils
(whether or not in successively
superimposed layers), regardless of
thickness, and in straight lengths, of a
thickness of less than 4.75 mm and of
a width measuring at least 10 times the

1250 mm, and of a thickness of not less
than 4 mm, not in coils and without
patterns in relief) of a thickness not less
