Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 7, 2007, the
United States Court of International
Trade (CIT) affirmed the final remand
results made by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) pursuant to
the CIT’s remand of the final results of
antidumping duty administrative review
of the antidumping order on certain cutto-length carbon steel plate from
Romania. See Mittal Steel Galati S.A.,
Formerly Known as Ispat Sidex S.A. v.
United States, Slip Op. 07–110 (CIT)
(July 18, 2007) (Mittal Steel). This case
arises out of the Department’s final
results in the administrative review
covering the period August 1, 2002,
through July 31, 2003. See Certain Cutto-Length Carbon Steel Plate from

case was not in harmony with the
Department’s Final Results.
DATES: Effective Date: November 23,

telephone: (202) 482–0195 or (202) 482–
3362, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Mittal
Steel, the CIT remanded the underlying
Final Results to the Department to reexamine its use of Filipino data to value
limestone as well as the decision to
value scrap as an input. The Department
issued a draft redetermination on
remand to interested parties for
comment on September 21, 2007. No
parties commented on the draft
redetermination.
On October 1, 2007, the Department
issued to the CIT its final remand
results. In the final remand results, the
Department provided an offset for scrap
generated and re-used in the production
process by Mittal Steel Galati S.A.,
formerly known as Ispat Sidex (Mittal),
and reconsidered its valuation of the
limestone input used to manufacture
cut-to-length carbon steel plate for this
proceeding. Thus, the Department
recalculated the antidumping duty rate
applicable to Mittal. On November 7,
2007, the CIT sustained the
Department’s final remand results. The
recalculated margin for these final
remand results is 7.29 percent.
In its decision in Timken Co., v.
United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed.
Cir. 1990) (Timken), the United States
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
(CAFC) held that, pursuant to section
516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), the Department
must publish a notice of a court
decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with
a Department determination, and must
suspend liquidation of entries pending
a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s
decision in this case on November 7,
2007, constitutes a decision of the court
that is not in harmony with the
Department’s Final Results. This notice
is published in fulfillment of the
publication requirements of Timken.
Accordingly, the Department will
continue the suspension of liquidation
of the subject merchandise pending the
expiration of the period of appeal or, if
E:\FR\FM\23NON1.SGM
23NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 225 / Friday, November 23, 2007 / Notices
appealed, pending a final and
conclusive court decision. In the event
the CIT’s ruling is not appealed or, if
appealed, upheld by the CAFC, the
Department will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to revise the cash
deposit rate covering the subject
merchandise.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 516A(c)(1) of
the Act.
Dated: November 16, 2007.

SUMMARY: In response to requests by
interested parties, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) is
conducting an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate
products from the Republic of Korea.
This review covers three producers/
exporters of the subject merchandise.
The period of review (POR) is February
1, 2006, through January 31, 2007.
The Department has preliminarily
determined that certain companies
subject to this review made U.S. sales at
prices less than normal value. If these
preliminary results are adopted in our
final results of administrative review,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results of
review. We will issue the final results of
review no later than 120 days from the
publication date of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 10, 2000, the Department
published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on certain cutto-length carbon-quality steel plate
products (steel plate) from the Republic
of Korea (Korea). See Notice of
Amendment of Final Determinations of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value and
Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain CutTo-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate
Products From France, India, Indonesia,
Italy, Japan and the Republic of Korea,
65 FR 6585 (February 10, 2000). On
February 2, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review’’ of the order.
See Antidumping or Countervailing
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 72 FR 5007
(February 2, 2007). In accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), on February 26,
2007, Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd.
(DSM), a producer/exporter, requested
that the Department conduct an
administrative review of its sales and
entries of subject merchandise into the
United Stated during the POR.
Additionally, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(b)(1), on February 28,
2007, a domestic producer and
interested party, Nucor Corporation
(Nucor), requested that the Department
conduct a review of DSM, Tae Chang
Steel Co., Ltd. (TC Steel), and DSEC Co.,
Ltd., a subsidiary of Daewoo
Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering
(DSEC). On March 28, 2007, the
Department initiated an administrative
review of DSM. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 14516
(March 28, 2007). Because the
Department inadvertently omitted the
names of TC Steel and DSEC from the
initiation notice that was published on
March 28, 2007, on April 27, 2007, the
Department initiated an administrative
review of TC Steel and DSEC. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 72 FR 20986 (April 27, 2007).
On November 6, 2007, we extended the
due date for the preliminary results of
review by 15 days to November 15,
2007. See Certain Cut-to-Length CarbonQuality Steel Plate Products From the
Republic of Korea: Extension of Time
Limit for Preliminary Results of

Review, 72 FR 62625 (November 6,

The Department is conducting this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping duty order are certain hotrolled carbon-quality steel: (1) Universal
mill plates (i.e., flat-rolled products
rolled on four faces or in a closed box
pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but
not exceeding 1250 mm, and of a
nominal or actual thickness of not less
than 4 mm, which are cut-to-length (not
in coils) and without patterns in relief),
of iron or non-alloy-quality steel; and (2)
flat-rolled products, hot-rolled, of a
nominal or actual thickness of 4.75 mm
or more and of a width which exceeds
150 mm and measures at least twice the
thickness, and which are cut-to-length
(not in coils). Steel products included in
the scope of the order are of rectangular,
square, circular, or other shape and of
rectangular or non-rectangular crosssection where such non-rectangular
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. Steel
products that meet the noted physical
characteristics that are painted,
varnished, or coated with plastic or
other non-metallic substances are
included within this scope. Also,
specifically included in the scope of the
order are high strength, low alloy
(HSLA) steels. HSLA steels are
recognized as steels with micro-alloying
levels of elements such as chromium,
copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium,
and molybdenum. Steel products
included in this scope, regardless of
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) definitions, are
products in which: (1) Iron
predominates, by weight, over each of
the other contained elements, (2) the
carbon content is two percent or less, by
weight, and (3) none of the elements
listed below is equal to or exceeds the
quantity, by weight, respectively
indicated: 1.80 percent of manganese, or
1.50 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent
of copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum,
or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 0.30
percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of
lead, or 1.25 percent of nickel, or 0.30
percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of
molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of
niobium, or 0.41 percent of titanium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15
percent zirconium. All products that
meet the written physical description,
and in which the chemistry quantities
do not equal or exceed any one of the
levels listed above, are within the scope

Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate From Romania: Notice of
Court Decision Not in Harmony With Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 7, 2007, the United States Court of International
Trade (CIT) affirmed the final remand results made by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) pursuant to the CIT's remand of the final
results of antidumping duty administrative review of the antidumping
order on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Romania. See
Mittal Steel Galati S.A., Formerly Known as Ispat Sidex S.A. v. United
States, Slip Op. 07-110 (CIT) (July 18, 2007) (Mittal Steel). This case
arises out of the Department's final results in the administrative
review covering the period August 1, 2002, through July 31, 2003. See
Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania: Final Results
and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,
70 FR 12651 (March 15, 2005), and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum (Final Results). The judgment in this case was not in
harmony with the Department's Final Results.
DATES: Effective Date: November 23, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Drury or Dena Crossland, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
0195 or (202) 482-3362, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Mittal Steel, the CIT remanded the
underlying Final Results to the Department to re-examine its use of
Filipino data to value limestone as well as the decision to value scrap
as an input. The Department issued a draft redetermination on remand to
interested parties for comment on September 21, 2007. No parties
commented on the draft redetermination.
On October 1, 2007, the Department issued to the CIT its final
remand results. In the final remand results, the Department provided an
offset for scrap generated and re-used in the production process by
Mittal Steel Galati S.A., formerly known as Ispat Sidex (Mittal), and
reconsidered its valuation of the limestone input used to manufacture
cut-to-length carbon steel plate for this proceeding. Thus, the
Department recalculated the antidumping duty rate applicable to Mittal.
On November 7, 2007, the CIT sustained the Department's final remand
results. The recalculated margin for these final remand results is 7.29
percent.
In its decision in Timken Co., v. United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341
(Fed. Cir. 1990) (Timken), the United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit (CAFC) held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department must publish a
notice of a court decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a Department
determination, and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a
``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's decision in this case on
November 7, 2007, constitutes a decision of the court that is not in
harmony with the Department's Final Results. This notice is published
in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly,
the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the
subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of appeal or,
if
[[Page 65701]]
appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision. In the event
the CIT's ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, upheld by the CAFC,
the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
revise the cash deposit rate covering the subject merchandise.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
516A(c)(1) of the Act.
Dated: November 16, 2007.
