which is consistent with the CIT’s
decision, we will amend our final
results of these reviews to reflect the
recalculation of margins for VFL and
VIL.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Suspension of Liquidation
The CAFC has held that the
Department must publish notice of a
decision of the CIT or the CAFC which
is not in harmony with the Department’s
determination. See Timken Company v.
United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (CAFC
1990). Publication of this notice fulfills
that obligation. The CAFC also held
that, in such a case, the Department
must suspend liquidation until there is
a ‘‘conclusive’’ decision in the action.
Id. Therefore, the Department must
suspend liquidation pending the
expiration of the period to appeal the
CIT’s July 7, 2006, decision affirming
the Department’s remand results or
pending a final decision of the CAFC if
that decision is appealed.
The Department will not order the
lifting of the suspension of liquidation
on entries of stainless steel wire rods
during the review period before a court
decision in this lawsuit becomes final
and conclusive.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with section
516A(c)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 17, 2006.

Certain Tin Mill Products from Japan:
Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on certain tin mill products from
Japan would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and of material injury to an industry in
the United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time, the Department is
publishing notice of the continuation of
this antidumping duty order.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 21, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2005, the Department
initiated and the ITC instituted a sunset
review of the antidumping duty order
on tin mill products from Japan
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See
Initiation of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 70 FR 38101 (July 1, 2005). As
a result of its review, the Department
found that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail were the order to be revoked.
See Certain Tin Mill Products from
Japan; Final Results of the Expedited
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty
Order, 70 FR 67448 (November 7, 2005).
On June 13, 2006, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on tin mill products from Japan
would be likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See Tinand Chromium–Coated Steel Sheet
From Japan, 71 FR 37944 (July 3, 2006),
and ITC Publication 3860 (June 2006),
entitled Tin- and Chromium–Coated
Steel Sheet From Japan: Investigation
No. 731–TA–860 (Review).
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes tin
mill flat–rolled products that are coated
or plated with tin, chromium or
chromium oxides. Flat–rolled steel
products coated with tin are known as
tin plate. Flat–rolled steel products
coated with chromium or chromium
oxides are known as tin–free steel or
electrolytic chromium–coated steel. The
scope includes all the noted tin mill
products regardless of thickness, width,
form (in coils or cut sheets), coating
type (electrolytic or otherwise), edge
(trimmed, untrimmed or further
processed, such as scroll cut), coating
thickness, surface finish, temper,
coating metal (tin, chromium,
chromium oxide), reduction (single–or
double–reduced), and whether or not
coated with a plastic material. All
products that meet the written physical
description are within the scope of this
order unless specifically excluded. The

SUMMARY: On November 1, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a sunset review of
the countervailing duty (CVD) order on
cut–to-length carbon steel plate from
Belgium, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). On the basis of a notice of intent
to participate and an adequate
substantive response filed on behalf of
the domestic interested parties and
adequate responses from respondent
interested parties, the Department
determined to conduct a full sunset
review of this CVD order pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(2). As a result of our
analysis, the Department preliminarily
finds that revocation of the CVD order
would be likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of a countervailable

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2005, the Department
initiated the second sunset review of the
CVD order on cut–to-length carbon steel
plate (CTL plate) from Belgium,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.
See Initiation of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 70 FR 65884 (November 1,
2005). The Department received notices
of intent to participate from the
following domestic interested parties:
Oregon Steel Mills, IPSCO Steel Inc.,
Mittal Steel USA Inc., Nucor
Corporation, United Steel, Paper and
Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
Energy, Allied Industrial and Service
Workers International Union, AFL–CIOCLC (USW) (hereinafter, collectively
domestic interested parties), within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status under sections 771 (9)(C)
and (D) of the Act, as domestic
producers of CTL plate in the United
States or as a certified union which is
representative of an industry engaged in
the manufacture, production, or
wholesale of CTL plate in the United
States. The Department received
substantive responses from the domestic
interested parties and the following
respondent interested parties: the
Government of Belgium (GOB), the
European Union Delegation of the
European Commission (the EC), Duferco
Clabecq S.A. (Duferco), which
purchased Forges de Clabecq
S.A.(Clabecq), and Arcelor S.A.,
claiming to be the successor–in-interest
to both Fabrique de Fer de Charleroi
(Fafer)1 and Cockerill Sambre
(Cockerill).2
1 In other proceedings under this order, Fafer has
at times been referred to as ‘‘Fabfer.’’
2 Although Duferco reported that it purchased
Forges de Clabecq S.A., and Arcelor claims to be
successor-in-interest to the other two original
respondent companies, the Department has not
made a determination in the past that Duferco and
Arcelor are the successors-in-interest to the
respective respondent companies and is not making
such a determination in this sunset review.
However, we have considered in this sunset review
the historical information provided with respect to
Duferco and Arcelor for purposes of our
privatization and change-in-ownership analyses.

Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain tin mill
products from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, the Department is
publishing notice of the continuation of this antidumping duty order.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 21, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2005, the Department initiated and the ITC instituted a
sunset review of the antidumping duty order on tin mill products from
Japan pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 70 FR
38101 (July 1, 2005). As a result of its review, the Department found
that revocation of the antidumping duty order would be likely to lead
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to prevail were the order to be
revoked. See Certain Tin Mill Products from Japan; Final Results of the
Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 67448
(November 7, 2005). On June 13, 2006, the ITC determined, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on tin mill products from Japan would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Tin- and
Chromium-Coated Steel Sheet From Japan, 71 FR 37944 (July 3, 2006), and
ITC Publication 3860 (June 2006), entitled Tin- and Chromium-Coated
Steel Sheet From Japan: Investigation No. 731-TA-860 (Review).
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes tin mill flat-rolled products that
are coated or plated with tin, chromium or chromium oxides. Flat-rolled
steel products coated with tin are known as tin plate. Flat-rolled
steel products coated with chromium or chromium oxides are known as
tin-free steel or electrolytic chromium-coated steel. The scope
includes all the noted tin mill products regardless of thickness,
width, form (in coils or cut sheets), coating type (electrolytic or
otherwise), edge (trimmed, untrimmed or further processed, such as
scroll cut), coating thickness, surface finish, temper, coating metal
(tin, chromium, chromium oxide), reduction (single-or double-reduced),
and whether or not coated with a plastic material. All products that
meet the written physical description are within the scope of this
order unless specifically excluded. The following products, by way of
example, are outside and/or specifically excluded from the scope of
