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,
France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden,

\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-

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

The products covered by these countervailing and antidumping duty
orders include hot-rolled carbon steel universal mill plates (i.e.,
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
substances, 4.75 millimeters or more in thickness and of a width which
exceeds 150 millimeters and measures at least twice the thickness, as
currently classifiable in the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS)
under item numbers 7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030,

7211.90.0000, 7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, and 7212.50.0000. Included
are flat-rolled products of non-rectangular cross-section where such
cross-section is achieved subsequent to the rolling process (i.e.,
products which have been ``worked after rolling'') -- for example,
products which have been beveled or rounded at the edges. Excluded is
grade X-70 plate. These HTSUS item numbers are provided for convenience
and customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive.
As a result of changed circumstances reviews with respect to
Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom,\3\ the
[[Page 6521]]
antidumping duty orders on all three countries and the countervailing
duty order on the United Kingdom\4\ were partially revoked with respect
to certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate with a maximum thickness of
80 mm in steel grades BS 7191, 355 EM and 355 EMZ, as amended by Sable
Offshore Energy Project specification XB MOO Y 15 0001, types 1 and 2.

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.
