SUMMARY: On March 28, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
intent to rescind the administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on certain hot–rolled carbon steel flat
products from India. The review covers
Essar Steel, Ltd. (‘‘Essar’’). The period of
review (‘‘POR’’) is January 1, 2005,
through December 31, 2005. The
Department received no comments
concerning the intent to rescind;
therefore, we are rescinding the
administrative review. We have found
that, during the POR, Essar made no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 18, 2006.

Scope of Review
The merchandise subject to this order
is certain hot–rolled flat–rolled carbon–
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
thickness. Universal mill plate (i.e., flat–
rolled products rolled on four faces or
in a closed box pass, of a width

exceeding 150 mm, but not exceeding
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
than 4.0 mm is not included within the
scope of this order.
Specifically included in the scope of
this order are vacuum–degassed, fully
stabilized (commonly referred to as
interstitial–free (‘‘IF’’)) steels, high–
strength low–alloy (‘‘HSLA’’) steels, and
the substrate for motor lamination
steels. IF steels are recognized as low–
carbon steels with micro–alloying levels
of elements such as titanium or niobium
(also commonly referred to as
columbium), or both, added to stabilize
carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA
steels are recognized as steels with
micro–alloying levels of elements such
as chromium, copper, niobium,
vanadium, and molybdenum. The
substrate for motor lamination steels
contains micro–alloying levels of
elements such as silicon and aluminum.
Steel products included in the scope
of this order, regardless of definitions in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’), are products
in which: i) Iron predominates, by
weight, over each of the other contained
elements; ii) the carbon content is 2
percent or less, by weight; and iii) none
of the elements listed below exceeds the
quantity, by weight, respectively
indicated:
1.80 percent of manganese, or
2.25 percent of silicon, or
1.00 percent of copper, or
0.50 percent of aluminum, or
1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or

0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or
0.15 percent of zirconium.
All products that meet the physical
and chemical description provided
above are within the scope of this order
unless otherwise excluded. The
following products, by way of example,
are outside or specifically excluded
from the scope of this order:
• Alloy hot–rolled steel products in
which at least one of the chemical
elements exceeds those listed above
(including, e.g., ASTM
specifications A543, A387, A514,
A517, A506).
• SAE/AISI grades of series 2300 and
higher.
• Ball bearings steels, as defined in
the HTSUS.
• Tool steels, as defined in the
HTSUS.
• Silico–manganese (as defined in the
HTSUS) or silicon electrical steel
with a silicon level exceeding 2.25
percent.
• ASTM specifications A710 and
A736.
• USS Abrasion–resistant steels (USS
AR 400, USS AR 500).
• All products (proprietary or
otherwise) based on an alloy ASTM
specification (sample specifications:
ASTM A506, A507).
• Non–rectangular shapes, not in
coils, which are the result of having
been processed by cutting or
stamping and which have assumed
the character of articles or products
classified outside chapter 72 of the
HTSUS.
The merchandise subject to this order
is currently classifiable in the HTSUS at
subheadings: 7208.10.15.00,

7212.50.00.00. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
merchandise subject to this order is
dispositive.
Rescission of Administrative Review
On February 16, 2006, Essar asserted
that it had made no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR and
requested that the Department rescind
the review. The petitioner did not
comment on Essar’s claim of no
shipments. On February 27, 2006, the
Department conducted a customs query
to ascertain whether there were any
entries of the subject merchandise from
Essar during the POR; the query showed
that there were none. See the March 15,
2006, Memorandum to the File from the
Team regarding Customs Query, the
public version of which is on file in the
Central Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’). Thus, the
Department was able to confirm that
Essar had no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind an
administrative review if the Secretary
concludes that during the POR, there
were no entries, exports, or sales of the
subject merchandise, as the case may be.

because Essar had no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR, consistent
with the regulation and our practice, we
determine to rescind this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
We will instruct CBP to continue to
collect cash deposits for Essar at the rate
set forth in the most recently completed
administrative review.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
