and from 0.187 inch to 0.875 inch in
total thickness, having a layer on one
side composed principally of a
combination of boron carbides,
chromium carbides, nickel carbides,
silicon carbides, manganese carbides,
niobium carbides, iron carbides,
tungsten carbides, vanadium carbides,
titanium carbides and/or molybdenum
carbides fused to a non–alloy flat–rolled
steel substrate. The carbides are in the
form of MxCx where ‘‘M’’ stands for the
metal and ‘‘x’’ for the atomic ratio. An
example of a common carbide would be
(Cr7C3). The carbide layer is a visually
distinct layer ranging in thickness from
0.062 inch to 0.312 inch with hardness
at the surface of the carbide layer in
excess of 55 HRC.

Scope of Changed Circumstances
Review
The products subject to this changed
circumstances review are corrosion–
resistant carbon steel flat products, from
Germany meeting the following
description: electrolytically zinc coated
flat steel products, with a coating mass
between 35 and 72 grams per meter
squared on each side; with a thickness
range of 0.67 mm or more but not more

less than 30% and not more than 60%
zinc and free of hexavalent chrome. See
ThyssenKrupp letter to the Department
dated August 17, 2006.
Preliminary Results of Reviews and
Intent to Revoke in Part the
Antidumping Duty Order
Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department may revoke an
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, in whole or in part, based on a
review under section 751(b) of the Act
(i.e., a changed circumstances review).
Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a
changed circumstances review to be
conducted upon receipt of a request
which shows changed circumstances
sufficient to warrant a review. Section
782(h)(2) of the Act gives the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Department the authority to revoke if
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product have expressed a lack of
interest in the continuation of relief.
As stated in the Initiation Notice,
ThyssenKrupp, an importer of the
subject merchandise, and Mittal Steel, a
major domestic producer of corrosion–
resistant carbon steel flat products,
attested to their lack of interest in
continued relief from imports of the
product in question. Since the
Department received no comments
during the comment period opposing
the partial revocation of the order as to
the product in question from this
antidumping duty order, the
Department preliminarily concludes
that producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product to which these
orders pertain lack interest in the relief
provided by this order with respect to
the product in question. If these results
become final, the Department will
revoke the order, in part, for all
unliquidated entries of the product in
question not covered by the final results
of an administrative review. The most
recent period for which the Department
has completed an administrative review,
or ordered automatic liquidation, is
August 1, 2004, through July 31, 2005.
Any prior entries are subject either to
final results of review or automatic
liquidation. Therefore, we will instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, shipments of
certain wear plate products entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after August 1, 2005.
The Department will also instruct CBP
to end suspension of liquidation for the
product in question, and to release any
cash deposits or bonds pursuant to 19
CFR 351.222(g)(4). Moreover, the
Department will instruct CBP to pay
interest on such refunds in accordance
with section 778 of the Act.
Interested parties wishing to comment
on these preliminary results may submit
briefs to the Department no later than 15
days after the publication of this notice
in the Federal Register. Parties will
have 7 days subsequent to this due date
to submit rebuttal comments, limited to
the issues raised in those briefs. Parties
who submit briefs or rebuttal comments
in this proceeding are requested to
submit with each argument (1) a
statement of the issue and (2) a brief
summary of the argument (no longer
than five pages, including footnotes).
Any requests for hearing must be filed
within 30 days of the publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.

All written comments must be
submitted in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303, with the exception that only
three (3) copies for each case need be
served on the Department. Any
comments must also be served on all
interested parties on the Department’s
service list, which is available on our
website (https://ia.ita.doc.gov/apo/

its final results in this changed
circumstances review as soon as
practicable following the above
comment period, but not later than 270
days after the date on which the
changed circumstances review was
initiated, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.216(e), and will publish the results
in the Federal Register. While the
changed circumstances review is
underway, the current requirement for a
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties on all subject merchandise,
including the merchandise that is the
subject of this changed circumstances
review, will continue unless and until
this order is revoked, in part, pursuant
to the final results of this changed
circumstances review or an
administrative review.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and

determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 1, 2006, the Department
initiated and the ITC instituted a sunset
review of the antidumping duty order
on ferrovanadium and nitrided
vanadium from Russia, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). See Initiation of
Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 71 FR
25568 (May 1, 2006).
The Department conducted an
expedited sunset review of this order.
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 Final Results of Expedited Sunset
Review: Ferrovanadium and Nitrided
Vanadium from Russia, 71 FR 44998
(August 8, 2006). On October 4, 2006,
the ITC determined, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium
from Russia 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 Ferrovanadium and Nitrided
Vanadium From Russia, 71 FR 58630
(October 4, 2006).

than any other element, except iron in
some instances) and at least 4 percent
by weight of iron. Nitrided vanadium
includes compounds containing

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Determination
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping duty order on
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium

U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will continue to collect antidumping
duty cash deposits at the rates in effect
at the time of entry for all imports of
subject merchandise.
The effective date of continuation of
this order will be the date of publication

Continuation. Pursuant to sections
751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department
intends to initiate the next five-year
review of this order not later than
