SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 11, 2006, the
Department published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on cut–tolength plate from Romania. See Certain
Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from
Romania: Preliminary Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Partial Rescission, 71 FR
53377 (September 11, 2006)
(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results.
On October 11, 2006, we received
case briefs from MS Galati and the
domestic interested party IPSCO Steel
Inc. (‘‘IPSCO’’). Additionally, on
October 11, 2006, we received a letter
from petitioner, Nucor Corporation
(‘‘Nucor’’), stating its support for the
case brief filed by IPSCO. We received
rebuttal briefs from IPSCO, Nucor, and
MS Galati on October 18, 2006. On
October 11, 2006, MS Galati requested
a public hearing in this review, but
withdrew its request on October 20,
2006. Therefore, no public hearing was
held.
Final Partial Rescission
We preliminarily determined to
rescind the review with respect to MEI
because we found during verification
that MEI is not the producer of subject
merchandise, MEI does not take title to
the merchandise which MS Galati
exports through MEI, and MS Galati has
knowledge of the destination of its
subject merchandise exports. See
Preliminary Results. No parties
commented on this issue. Therefore, we
have received no new information or
evidence of changed circumstances that
would cause the Department to
reconsider that determination. Thus, we
are finally rescinding the administrative
review with respect to MEI.
