Companhia Siderurgica de Tubarao
(CST). The Department is now
rescinding this review based on record
evidence indicating that the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 12, 2002, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on hot–rolled steel from Brazil. See
Notice of Antidumping Duty Order and
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:
Certain Hot–Rolled Flat–Rolled Carbon
Quality Steel Products from Brazil, 67
FR 11093 (March 12, 2002). On March
2, 2006, the Department published in
the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request administrative
reviews. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 71
FR 10642 (March 2, 2006). On March 31,
2006, Nucor Corporation requested that
the Department conduct an
administrative review of sales of hot–
rolled steel produced and exported by
CSN and CST.
On April 28, 2006, the Department
published a notice of initiation of this
administrative review. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 25145
(April 28, 2006). On May 4 and 17,
2006, respectively, CSN and CST
submitted no–shipment certification
letters to the Department indicating that
they had no U.S. sales or entries of hot–
rolled steel during the POR and
requesting rescission of the
administrative review.
On June 5, 2006, the Department
solicited comments from Wiley Rein &
Fielding LLP, counsel for Nucor
Corporation, stating the Department’s
intention to rescind the review with
respect to CSN and CST. The
Department requested that any
comments regarding the intention to
rescind be submitted by June 12, 2006.
We received no comments.
Period of Review
The POR is March 1, 2005, through
February 28, 2006.
Scope of the Order
For purposes of this order, the
products covered are certain hot–rolled
flat–rolled carbon–quality steel
products, meeting the physical
parameters described below, regardless
of application.
The hot–rolled flat–rolled carbon–
quality steel products subject to this
review are of a rectangular shape, of a
width of 0.5 inch of greater, neither
clad, plated, nor coated with metal and
whether or not painted, varnished, or
coated with plastics of other non–

metallic substances, in coils (whether or
not in successively superimposed
layers) regardless of thickness, and in
straight lengths, of a thickness less than
4.75 mm and of a width measuring at
least 10 times the thickness. Specifically
included in this scope are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (IF) steels,
high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels,
and the substrate for motor lamination
steels. Steel products to be included in
the scope of this agreement, regardless
of HTSUS definitions, are products in
which: (1) iron predominates, by
weight, over each of the other contained
elements; (2) the carbon content is 2
percent of less, by weight; and (3) none
of the elements listed below exceeds
certain specified quantities.
The merchandise subject to the order
is currently classifiable under

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Certain hot–
rolled flat–rolled carbon–quality steel
covered by this agreement, including
vacuum degassed and fully stabilized,
high strength low alloy, and the
substrate for motor lamination steel may
also enter under tariff numbers

7226.99.00.00. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and CBP purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Rescission of Review
On May 4 and May 17, 2006,
respectively, both CSN and CST
informed the Department that they did
not ship hot–rolled steel to the United
States during the POR, and requested
that we rescind the administrative

review. On June 2, 2006, the Department
conducted an internal customs data
query using the Customs and Border
Protection’s (CBP) Automated
Commercial System (ACS). On June 5,
2006, the Department invited Wiley
Rein & Fielding LLP, counsel for Nucor,
to submit comments regarding the
Department’s intention to rescind the
review with regard to CSN and CST.
Furthermore, we sent a no–shipments
inquiry to CBP on June 16, 2006.
The Department did not receive
comments from Wiley Rein & Fielding
LLP regarding our intention to rescind
the review with regard to CSN and CST.
Additionally, the Department found no
entries from either CSN or CST based on
our internal customs query and our no–
shipments inquiry sent to CBP.
Accordingly, the Department has found
no evidence that CSN or CST had any
entries of hot–rolled steel during the
POR. Therefore, we are rescinding this
administrative review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind an
administrative review, in whole or with
respect to a particular exporter or
producer, if the Secretary concludes
that, during the period covered by the
review, there were no entries, exports,
or sales of the subject merchandise.
Because the evidence on the record
shows that there were no entries of hot–
rolled steel made by CSN or CST during
the POR, the Department is rescinding
this review in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP within 15 days of
publication of this notice.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Rescission of Review
On May 4 and May 17, 2006, respectively, both CSN and CST informed

review. On June 2, 2006, the Department conducted an internal customs

sent to CBP. Accordingly, the Department has found no evidence that CSN
or CST had any entries of hot-rolled steel during the POR. Therefore,
we are rescinding this administrative review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an
administrative review, in whole or with respect to a particular
exporter or producer, if the Secretary concludes that, during the
period covered by the review, there were no entries, exports, or sales
