Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.

BILLING CODE 3510–DS–S
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR § 351.216 (2005), the
Department will conduct a changed–
circumstances review upon receipt of
information concerning, or a request
from an interested party for a review of,
an antidumping duty order which
shows changed circumstances sufficient
to warrant a review of the order. SNFA
and SKF France claim that they have
satisfied the criteria to warrant such a
review. See 19 CFR § 351.216(d). We
agree that the information submitted by
SNFA and SKF France demonstrates
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant a review. Therefore, in
accordance with the above–referenced
regulation, the Department is initiating
a changed–circumstances review.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
SNFA and SKF France also claim that
the information contained in their
January 9, 2007, request demonstrates
that the post–acquisition SNFA is the
successor–in-interest to the pre–
acquisition SNFA. The requesting
parties ask that the Department thus
refrain from issuing a changed–
circumstances questionnaire. The
Department finds that the request does
not clearly establish the entity to which
SNFA is the successor–in-interest.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
§ 351.221(b)(2) and (4) and 19 CFR
§ 351.221(c)(3)(i), we will issue a
questionnaire requesting factual
information for the review and will
publish a notice of preliminary results
of the antidumping duty changed–
circumstances review in the Federal
Register. The notice will set forth the
factual and legal conclusions upon
which our preliminary results are based.
Pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.221(b)(4)(ii),
interested parties will have an
opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results of review. We will
issue final results of review no later
than the regulatory deadline in
accordance with 19 CFR § 351.216(e).
During the course of this antidumping
duty changed–circumstances review, we
will not change the cash–deposit
requirements for the subject
merchandise. The cash–deposit rate will
be altered, if warranted, pursuant only
to the final results of this review.
This notice of initiation is in
accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the
Act, 19 CFR § 351.216(b) and (d), and 19
CFR § 351.221(b)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 1, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register its
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on CORE from
France. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 71
FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). In response,
on August 31, 2006, United States Steel
Corporation (U.S. Steel), a domestic
interested party, requested an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on CORE from
France for the period of review (POR) of
August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006,
with respect to entries of merchandise
exported or shipped by Duferco Coating
SA and Sorral SA (collectively, Duferco
Sorral). Respondent Duferco Sorral did
not request an administrative review.
On September 29, 2006, the Department
initiated an administrative review of
Duferco Sorral. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative, 71 FR 57465 (September
29, 2006). On October 16, 2006, the
Department issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to Duferco Sorral. On
November 13, 2006, Duferco Sorral and
its U.S. affiliate, Duferco Steel, Inc.,
filed certifications that they did not,
directly or indirectly, enter for
consumption, or sell, export, or ship for
entry for consumption in the United
States, subject merchandise during the
POR. See Letter to the Secretary from
White and Case LLP, dated November
13, 2006.
On December 11, 2006, the
Department issued a ‘‘No Shipment
Inquiry’’ to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to confirm that there
were no shipments or entries of CORE
from France exported by Duferco Sorral
during the POR of the instant
administrative review. On December 27,
2006, the Department confirmed, based
on its internal review of CBP data and
the results of its CBP inquiry, there were
no entries of subject merchandise
exported or shipped by Duferco Sorral

by Duferco Sorral. See Letter from

Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
19 C.F.R. § 351.213(d)(1) provides that
the Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, or
withdraws at a later date if the
Department determines it is reasonable
to extend the time limit for withdrawing
the request. U.S. Steel’s request is past
the 90-day time limit; however, we find
that it is reasonable to extend the
deadline. In response to U.S. Steel’s
withdrawal of its request for an
administrative review as well as the fact
that Duferco Sorral had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR
pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 351.213(d)(3),
the Department hereby rescinds the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on CORE from
France for the period August 1, 2005,
through July 31, 2006.
The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of the
publication of this notice. The
Department will direct CBP to assess
antidumping duties for Duferco Sorral at
the cash deposit rate in effect on the
date of entry for entries during the
period August 1, 2005, through July 31,
2006.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 C.F.R. § 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s assumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative

with 19 C.F.R. § 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return/

conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.

rolled carbon steel flat products (‘‘hot–

Extension of Time Limits for Final
Results of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to issue the
final results within 120 days after the
date on which the preliminary results
are published. However, if it is not
practicable to complete the review
within that time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit of
the final results to 180 days from the
date of publication of the preliminary
results.
Due to the complexity of the
affiliation issue present in this
administrative review, as well as the
demands of other proceedings handled
by the office administering this review,
the Department has determined that it is
not practicable to complete this review
within the original time period.
Accordingly, the Department is
extending the time for completion of the
final results to 180 days from the
publication date of the preliminary
results, until no later than May 7, 2007,
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 23, 2007.
