Pursuant to Sections 766.25(h) and
766.23 of the Export Administration
Regulations1 (‘‘EAR’’), the Bureau of
Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’), U.S.
Department of Commerce, through its
Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’),
has requested that I make the Denial
Order that was imposed against the
individual Ruo Ling Wang (‘‘Wang’’) on
April 18, 2006 (71 FR 23896, April 25,
2006) applicable to Jian Gou Qu (‘‘Qu’’),

Wang.
Section 766.23 of the EAR provides
that ‘‘[i]n order to prevent evasion,
certain types of orders under this part
may be made applicable not only to the
respondent, but also to other persons
then or thereafter related to the

or business. Orders that may be made
applicable to related persons include
those that deny or affect export
privileges * * *’’ 15 CFR 766.23(a).
On April 18, 2006, I issued an Order
pursuant to section 11(h) of the Export
Administration Act of 1970, as amended
(currently codified at 50 U.S.C. app.
Sections 2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘Act’’) 2
and section 766.25 of the EAR denying
the export privileges under the
Regulations of Ruo Ling Wang, No. 2
Zhong Guan Cun South Avenue, Cyber
Mode Room 1001, Haidian District,
Beijing, China 100086 for 10 years and
naming Beijing Rich Linscience
Electronics Company, No. 2 Zhong
Guan Cun South Avenue, Cyber Mode
Room 1001, Haidian District, Beijing,
China 100086 as a Related Person. The
Order was based on Wang’s conviction
of violating the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–
1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’) for making
unlicensed exports of electronic
components and semiconductor chips to
the People’s Republic of China.
BIS has presented evidence that
indicates that Qu is related to Wang by
ownership, control, position of
responsibility, affiliation, or other
connection in the conduct of trade or
business, and that it is necessary to add
this individual to the Wang Denial
Order in order to avoid evasion of that
Order. The basis for naming Qu to the
Wang Denial Order include the facts
that Qu is Wang’s husband and Wang
and Qu are the owners of Beijing Rich
Linscience Electronics Company
(‘‘BRLE’’) and BRLE was receiving
illegal exports from the United States of
electronic components and
semiconductor chips, items subject to
the EAR.
On April 19, 2006, I gave notice to
Qu, by Federal Express and registered
mail at his address in Chicago, Illinois,
(Inmate Number 07512–089, MCC
Chicago, Metropolitan Correctional
Center, 71 West Van Buren Street,
Chicago, IL 60605) notifying Qu that his
export privileges under the EAR could
be denied for up to 10 years as BIS
2 From August 21, 1994 through November 12,
2000, the Act was in lapse. During that period, the
President, through Executive Order 12924, which
had been extended by successive Presidential
Notices, the last of which was August 3, 2000 (3
CFR, 2000 Comp. 397 (2001)), continued the
Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–
1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). On November 13, 2000, the
Act was reauthorized and it remained in effect
through August 20, 2001. Since August 21, 2001,
the Act has been in lapse and the President, through
Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR,
2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as extended by the Notice
of August 2, 2005 (70 FR 45273, August 5, 2005),
has continued the Regulations in effect under the
IEEPA.

believes that Qu is related to Wang and
adding him to the Wang Denial Order is
necessary to prevent evasion.
Having received no response from Qu,
I, following consultations with the
Export Enforcement, including the
Director, Office of Export Enforcement,
have decided to name Qu as a related
person to the Wang Denial Order,
thereby denying Qu’s export privileges
from 10 years from the date of Wang’s
conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all
licenses issued pursuant to the Act or
EAR in which Qu had an interest at the
time of Wang’s conviction. The 10-year
denial period ends on May 2, 2015.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 9, 2005, the Department
published the preliminary results and
intent to revoke and partial rescission of
its administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain hot–
rolled carbon steel flat products from
Thailand. See Certain Hot–Rolled
Carbon Steel Flat Products From
Thailand; Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Intent to Revoke and
Rescind in Part, 70 FR 73197 (December
9, 2005) (Preliminary Results).
We invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. On December 22,
2005, United States Steel Corporation
(petitioner) requested that the
Department issue a questionnaire to SSI
requesting certain financial information
for the post–POR period. On January 4,
2006, the Department contacted
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom
LLP, counsel to petitioner, and
requested that petitioner provide a more
thorough explanation for its December
22, 2005, request for certain post–POR
financial information from SSI. See the
Department’s Memorandum to the File
from Stephen Bailey, International
Trade Compliance Analyst, dated
January 5, 2006. On January 6, 2006,
petitioner and Nucor Corporation
(Nucor), a domestic interested party in
this administrative review, submitted a
joint letter providing a detailed
explanation as to the relevance of the
financial information petitioner
requested the Department collect from
SSI. On January 13, 2006, the
Department requested SSI submit
certain financial information for the
post–POR period, which SSI did on
January 18, 2006.
On January 17, 2006, SSI submitted a
letter on the record of the 2004–2005
administrative review 2 requesting that
the 2004–2005 administrative review be
rescinded with respect to SSI because
certain entries into the U.S. during the
2004–2005 POR were actually sold
pursuant to sales in the 2003–2004 POR,
and these sales have already been
examined and verified by the
Department in the 2003–2004
administrative review. On January 18,
2006, SSI submitted a letter on the
2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 76024
(December 22, 2005).

record of the 2003–2004 administrative
review requesting certain information
contained in its January 17, 2006, letter
to the Department be placed on the
record of the 2003–2004 administrative
review. Specifically, SSI requested that
information regarding its meaningful
participation in the market for the 2004–
2005 administrative review and the date
of entry for merchandise entered during
the 04–05 administrative review be
placed on the record of the 2003–2004
administrative review. See SSI’s January
18, 2006, letter to the Department at
page 2 and exhibit A. On January 25,
2006, the Department issued a
memorandum from Richard Weible,
Office Director, to the File reiterating
the Department’s practice of conducting
administrative reviews based on entries
of subject merchandise during the POR.
Furthermore, we explained that we
intended to exclude sales that entered in
the 04–05 administrative review period
from the 03–04 administrative review.
On January 27, 2006, SSI submitted a
letter objecting to the Department’s
intention to exclude certain sales from
the 03–04 administrative review.
On January 25, 2006, petitioner and
Nucor filed joint comments on SSI’s
post–POR financial information
submission. On January 31, 2006, SSI
filed rebuttal comments to petitioner’s
and Nucor’s January 25, 2006,
comments regarding its post–POR
financial information.
On February 7, 2006, the Department
received case briefs from petitioner,
Nucor and SSI. On February 10, 2006,
SSI submitted a letter claiming that
Nucor had submitted new factual
information in its February 7, 2006, case
brief. On February 13, 2006, the
Department issued a letter to Nucor
requesting that certain new factual
information be edited from its case brief.
On February 14, 2006, petitioner, Nucor
and SSI submitted rebuttal briefs, and
Nucor submitted a revised case brief
excluding the new factual information
as requested by the Department.
Partial Rescission
In our Preliminary Results, we
announced our preliminary decision to
rescind the review with respect to
Nakornthai and G Steel because these
companies had no entries of hot–rolled
steel from Thailand during the POR. See
Preliminary Results. We have received
no new information contradicting this
decision. Therefore, we are rescinding
the administrative review with respect
to Nakornthai and G Steel.
Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order
The products covered by this
antidumping duty order are certain hot–

On April 18, 2006, I issued an Order pursuant to section 11(h) of
the Export Administration Act of 1970, as amended (currently codified
at 50 U.S.C. app. Sections 2401-2420 (2000)) (``Act'') \2\ and section

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIS has presented evidence that indicates that Qu is related to
Wang by ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or
other connection in the conduct of trade or business, and that it is
necessary to add this individual to the Wang Denial Order in order to
avoid evasion of that Order. The basis for naming Qu to the Wang Denial
Order include the facts that Qu is Wang's husband and Wang and Qu are
the owners of Beijing Rich Linscience Electronics Company (``BRLE'')
and BRLE was receiving illegal exports from the United States of
electronic components and semiconductor chips, items subject to the
EAR.
On April 19, 2006, I gave notice to Qu, by Federal Express and
registered mail at his address in Chicago, Illinois, (Inmate Number
07512-089, MCC Chicago, Metropolitan Correctional Center, 71 West Van
Buren Street, Chicago, IL 60605) notifying Qu that his export
privileges under the EAR could be denied for up to 10 years as BIS
believes that Qu is related to Wang and adding him to the Wang Denial
Order is necessary to prevent evasion.
Having received no response from Qu, I, following consultations
with the Export Enforcement, including the Director, Office of Export
Enforcement, have decided to name Qu as a related person to the Wang
Denial Order, thereby denying Qu's export privileges from 10 years from
the date of Wang's conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the
Act or EAR in which Qu had an interest at the time of Wang's
conviction. The 10-year denial period ends on May 2, 2015.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered
First, that having been provided notice and opportunity for comment
as provided in Sections 766.25 and 766.23 of the Export Administration
Regulations (the ``Regulations''), the following individual, Jian Gou
Qu, currently incarcerated at MCC Chicago, Metropolitan Correctional
Center, 71 West Van Buren Street, Chicago, IL 60605 and with an address
at No. 2 Zhong Guan Cun South Avenue, Cyber Mode Room 1001, Haidian
District, Beijing, China 100086, has been determined to be related to
Ruo Ling Wang, No. 2 Zhong Guan Cun South Avenue, Cyber Mode Room 1001,
Haidian District, Beijing, China 100086, by affiliation, ownership,
control, or position of responsibility in the conduct of trade or
related services, and it has been deemed necessary to make the Order
denying the export privileges of Wang applicable to Qu in order to
prevent evasion of the Wang Denial Order.
Second, that the denial of export privileges described in the Wang
Denial Order, which was published in the Federal Register on April 25,
2006 at 71 FR 23896, shall be made applicable to Qu until its
expiration on May 2, 2015, as follows:
I. Jian Gou Qu, currently incarcerated at MCC Chicago, Metropolitan
Correctional Center, 71 West Van Buren Street, Chicago, IL 60605 and
with an address at No. 2 Zhong Guan Cun South Avenue, Cyber Mode Room
1001, Haidian District, Beijing, China 100086, and when acting for or
on behalf of Qu, his officers, representatives, agents, or employees
(collectively, ``Denied Person'') may not participate, directly or
