SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 14, 2006, the
International Trade Commission
determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on cut-tolength plate from certain countries,

including Romania, would not likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States. See Certain Carbon Steel

TA–573, 574, 576, 578, 582–587, 612,
and 614–618 (Second Review) (January
2007). Pursuant to sections 751(c) and
751(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’), the Department
revoked the antidumping duty order on
cut-to-length plate from Romania. See
Revocation Pursuant to Second FiveYear (Sunset) Reviews: Countervailing
Duty Orders on Certain Steel Products
from Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and
Sweden; Antidumping Duty Orders on

Sweden, and the United Kingdom;
Antidumping Finding on Carbon Steel
Plate from Taiwan, 72 FR 6519
(February 12, 2007) (‘‘Revocation of
Plate from Romania’’). The Department
stated in the Revocation of Plate from
Romania that it will complete any
pending administrative reviews of these
orders and will conduct administrative
reviews of subject merchandise entered
prior to the effective date of revocation
in response to appropriately filed
requests for review. 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. As a
result, the Department is completing the
instant review of cut-to-length plate
from Romania.
On July 5, 2007, the Department
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on cut-to-length
plate from Romania. See Certain Cut-toLength Carbon Steel Plate from
Romania: Preliminary Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Intent to Rescind in Part, 72
FR 36658 (July 5, 2007) (‘‘Preliminary

to comment on the Preliminary Results.
On August 7, 2007, we received a case
brief from MS Galati. We did not receive
any case or rebuttal briefs from the
domestic interested party IPSCO Steel

Corporation (‘‘Nucor’’). No interested
parties requested a public hearing in
this review.

Final Partial Rescission
We preliminarily determined to
rescind the review with respect to MEI,
MS Galati’s unaffiliated exporter,
because MS Galati stated on the record
that MEI did not serve as an exporter for
any of MS Galati’s U.S. sales during the
POR, and there were no identifiable
entries of cut-to-length plate during the
POR manufactured or exported by MEI,
according to the Department’s U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
data inquiry. See Preliminary Results.
Additionally, in the previous
antidumping duty administrative review
of cut-to-length plate from Romania,
covering the period August 1, 2004,
through July 31, 2005, the Department
found that (a) MEI is not a producer of
subject merchandise, (b) MEI does not
take title to the merchandise which MS
Galati exports through MEI, and (c) MS
Galati has knowledge of the destination
of its subject merchandise exports. See
Notice of Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Final
Partial Rescission: Certain Cut-to-Length
Carbon Steel Plate from Romania. 72 FR
6522 (February 12, 2007). 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.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
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 coil 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 flatrolled 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

review are flat-rolled products of
nonrectangular 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 bevelled or rounded at
the edges. Excluded from this review is
grade X–70 plate. These HTSUS item
numbers are provided for convenience
and customs purposes. The written
description remains dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised in the case brief by
the respondent to this administrative
review are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum to David M.
Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, from Stephen Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary (‘‘Decision
Memorandum’’), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues addressed in the Decision
Memorandum is appended to this
notice. The Decision Memorandum is
on file in the Central Records Unit in
Room B–099 of the main Commerce
building, and can also be accessed
directly on the Web at https://

electronic version of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.

Assessment
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries, pursuant to
section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). The Department will
direct CPB to liquidate any entries
manufactured by MS Galati, and entered
or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption during the POR, at the rate
above. We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department notified CBP 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 the
antidumping duty order.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) 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 presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
Percent
Mittal Steel Galati S.A. .............
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (‘‘Assessment
Policy Notice’’). This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did
not know that the merchandise they
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the ‘‘All
Others’’ rate if there is no rate for the
intermediary involved in the
transaction. See Assessment Policy
Notice for a full discussion of this
clarification.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation that
is subject to sanction.
This administrative review and notice
are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.

Background
On March 28, 2007, the Department
published a notice of initiation of a
review of HFHTs from the PRC covering
the period February 1, 2006, through
January 31, 2007. See Initiation of

Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 14516
(March 28, 2007). The preliminary
results of this administrative review are
currently due no later than October 31,
2007.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
The Department determines that
completion of the preliminary results of
this review within the 245-day period is
not practicable because of: (1) The need
to analyze and issue supplemental
questionnaires regarding Respondent’s
claim of no shipments, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data, and
Petitioners’ submissions related thereto;
and, (2) the current case workload and
other statutory deadlines. Therefore, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the preliminary
results by 120 days.
Given the number and complexity of
issues in this case and the current case
workload, and in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of review by 120
days until February 28, 2008. The final
results continue to be due 120 days after
the publication of the preliminary
results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 3, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published
in the Federal Register the preliminary
results and partial rescission of the
antidumping duty administrative review
of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils
from Taiwan covering the period July 1,

administrative review are currently due
no later than December 3, 2007, the next
business day after 120 days from the
date of publication of the preliminary
results of review.
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires the
Department to issue the final results of
an administrative review within 120
days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published. 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 deadline for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete this administrative review
within the original time limits
mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act because we require additional time
to properly consider the complex issues
raised by interested parties in their case
briefs. Therefore, we are extending the
time limit for completion of the final
results of this administrative review by
60 days, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Accordingly, the
final results are now due no later than
January 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 14, 2006, the International Trade Commission determined
that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on cut-to-length plate
from certain countries, including Romania, would not likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States. See Certain Carbon Steel Products From Australia,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea,
Mexico, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom,
72 FR 4529 (January 31, 2007) and USITC Publication 3899 entitled

(Second Review) (January 2007). Pursuant to sections 751(c) and 751(d)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department
revoked the antidumping duty order on cut-to-length plate from Romania.
See Revocation Pursuant to Second Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews:
Countervailing Duty Orders on Certain Steel Products from Belgium,
Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Sweden; Antidumping Duty Orders on Certain

Germany, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, and the United
Kingdom; Antidumping Finding on Carbon Steel Plate from Taiwan, 72 FR
6519 (February 12, 2007) (``Revocation of Plate from Romania''). The
Department stated in the Revocation of Plate from Romania that it will

conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to
the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed
requests for review. 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. As a result, the Department is completing the instant review of
cut-to-length plate from Romania.
On July 5, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on cut-to-

We preliminarily determined to rescind the review with respect to
MEI, MS Galati's unaffiliated exporter, because MS Galati stated on the
record that MEI did not serve as an exporter for any of MS Galati's
U.S. sales during the POR, and there were no identifiable entries of
cut-to-length plate during the POR manufactured or exported by MEI,
according to the Department's U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') data inquiry. See Preliminary Results. Additionally, in the
previous antidumping duty administrative review of cut-to-length plate
from Romania, covering the period August 1, 2004, through July 31,
2005, the Department found that (a) MEI is not a producer of subject
merchandise, (b) MEI does not take title to the merchandise which MS
Galati exports through MEI, and (c) MS Galati has knowledge of the
destination of its subject merchandise exports. See Notice of Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Partial
Rescission: Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania. 72
FR 6522 (February 12, 2007). 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.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order 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 coil 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
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') under item
numbers 7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045,
7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000, 7208.53.0000, 7208.90.0000, 7210.70.3000,
7210.90.9000, 7211.13.0000, 7211.14.0030, 7211.14.0045, 7211.90.0000,
7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, and 7212.50.0000. Included under this
review are flat-rolled products of nonrectangular 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 bevelled or rounded at the edges. Excluded
from this review is grade X-70 plate. These HTSUS item numbers are
provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written description
remains dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised in the case brief by the respondent to this
administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, from Stephen Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary
(``Decision Memorandum''), which is hereby adopted by this notice. A
list of the issues addressed in the Decision Memorandum is appended to
this notice. The Decision Memorandum is on file in the Central Records
Unit in Room B-099 of the main Commerce building, and can also be
accessed directly on the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper
copy and electronic version of the Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.

Assessment
The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries, pursuant to section 751(a)(1)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department will direct CPB to
liquidate any entries manufactured by MS Galati, and entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during the POR, at the rate
above. We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after
the date of publication of these final results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003)
(``Assessment Policy Notice''). This clarification will apply to
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review for which the reviewed
companies did not know that the merchandise they sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the ``All Others'' rate if there is
no rate for the intermediary involved in the transaction. See
Assessment Policy Notice for a full discussion of this clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department notified CBP 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 the antidumping duty
order.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation that is subject
to sanction.
This administrative review and notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
