SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 15, 2000, the Department published the continuation of 
the countervailing duty orders on CTL plate from Belgium, Brazil, 
Mexico, Spain, and Sweden; the antidumping duty orders on CTL plate 
from Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Spain, 
Sweden, and the United Kingdom; and the antidumping finding on carbon 
steel plate from Taiwan. See Continuation of Antidumping and

South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and the 
United Kingdom, 65 FR 78469 (December 15, 2000)(Continuation 
Notice).\2\ On November 1, 2005, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.218, the Department initiated, and the Commission 
instituted, the sunset reviews of these countervailing and antidumping 
duty orders, and antidumping finding, by publishing the respective 
notices of initiation in the Federal Register. See Initiation of Five-
Year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 70 FR 65884 (November 1, 2005) and Certain 
Carbon Steel Products From Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland,

Taiwan, and United Kingdom, 70 FR 62324 (October 31, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ In addition to the continuations of the CTL plate orders, 
this notice included in the continuations of orders on corrosion-
resistant carbon steel flat products, which are not subject to the 
instant revocation notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of the sunset reviews, the Department found that 
revocation of the countervailing duty orders would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies, and notified 
the Commission of the countervailing duty rates likely to prevail were 
the orders revoked. See Cut-to Length Carbon Steel Plate from Brazil:

    The Department also found that revocation of the antidumping duty 
orders and finding would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of 
dumping, and notified the Commission of the magnitude of the margins 
likely to prevail were the orders and finding to be revoked. See Cut-

11577 (March 8, 2006).
    On December 14, 2006, the Commission determined that revocation of 
these countervailing and antidumping duty orders, and of the 
antidumping finding on carbon steel plate from Taiwan, would not be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an 
industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. The Commission notified the 
Department and published its decision on January 31, 2007. See Certain

flat-rolled products rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a 
width exceeding 150 millimeters but not exceeding 1,250 millimeters and 
of a thickness of not less than 4 millimeters, not in coils and without 
patterns in relief), of rectangular shape, neither clad, plated nor 
coated with metal, whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with 
plastics or other nonmetallic substances; and certain hot-rolled carbon 
steel flat-rolled products in straight lengths, of rectangular shape, 
hot rolled, neither clad, plated, nor coated with metal, whether or not 
painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other nonmetallic

Determination

    As a result of the determination by the Commission that revocation 
of these countervailing and antidumping duty orders, and antidumping 
finding, is not likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is 
revoking the countervailing duty orders on CTL plate from Belgium, 
Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Sweden; the antidumping duty orders on CTL 
plate from Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Romania, 
Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom; and the antidumping finding on 
carbon steel plate from Taiwan, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 751(d) 
of the Act. Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation is December 15, 2005 
(i.e., the fifth anniversary of the date of publication in the Federal 
Register of the Continuation Notice). The Department will notify U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection to discontinue suspension of liquidation 
and collection of cash deposits on entries of the subject merchandise 
entered or withdrawn from warehouse on or after December 15, 2005, the 
effective date of revocation of these countervailing and antidumping 
duty orders, and antidumping finding. The Department will complete any 
pending administrative reviews of these orders or finding and will 
conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to 
the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed 
requests for review.
    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return/destruction or conversion to judicial protective 
order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation of the APO which 
may be subject to sanctions.
    These revocations pursuant to five-year sunset reviews and this 
notice are in accordance with sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 
and are published pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
