pursuant to 15 CFR 742.7(a), including
shotguns with a barrel length equal to or

BIS is not seeking comments on
license requirements for shotguns with
a barrel length of less than 18 inches,
rifles or pistols because their export and
reexport is subject to the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations, which are
administered by the Department of
State.
Requests for Comments
BIS is seeking public comments on
whether the scope of items subject to
the crime control license requirements
of 15 CFR 742.7(a)(1) through (4) should
be modified. Such modification might
include adding items, removing items or
altering the descriptions of items
currently subject to such license
requirements. BIS is particularly, but
not exclusively, interested in comments
on whether items such as biometric
devices, integrated security systems,

and training software, particularly
firearms training software, should be
subject to crime control license
requirements.
BIS is also seeking public comments
on whether the universe of destinations
to which a license is required should be
changed, either by adding or removing
destinations. Comments that address
practical considerations such as
defining license requirements with
sufficient clarity to be understood by the
public and sufficient precision to
support the U.S. foreign policy to
promote human rights without placing
excessive costs on transactions that do
not impact human rights are likely to be
more useful than comments that do not
address those considerations. Comments
that provide a reasoned explanation in
support of the position taken in the
comment are likely to be more useful
than comments that merely assert a
position without such explanation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the CVD
order are certain hot–rolled 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 to be
included in the scope of the order are
of rectangular, square, circular or other
shape and of rectangular or non–
rectangular cross–section 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 to be
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

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
of this order unless otherwise
specifically excluded. The following
products are specifically excluded from
the order: (1) Products clad, plated, or
coated with metal, whether or not
painted, varnished or coated with
plastic or other non–metallic
substances; (2) SAE grades (formerly
AISI grades) of series 2300 and above;
(3) products made to ASTM A710 and
A736 or their proprietary equivalents;
(4) abrasion–resistant steels (i.e., USS
AR 400, USS AR 500); (5) products
made to ASTM A202, A225, A514 grade
S, A517 grade S, or their proprietary
equivalents; (6) ball bearing steels; (7)
tool steels; and (8) silicon manganese
steel or silicon electric steel.

Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department
received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. Therefore,
consistent with the Preliminary Results,
we continue to find the net subsidy for
DSM to be 0.29 percent ad valorem,
which is de minimis. See 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1). As there have been no
changes to or comments on the
Preliminary Results, we are not
attaching a decision memorandum to
this Federal Register notice. For further

not equal or exceed any one of the levels listed above, are within the
scope of this order unless otherwise specifically excluded. The
following products are specifically excluded from the order: (1)
Products clad, plated, or coated with metal, whether or not painted,

Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise covered by
the order is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. Therefore, consistent with the Preliminary
Results, we continue to find the net subsidy for DSM to be 0.29 percent
ad valorem, which is de minimis. See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1). As there
have been no changes to or comments on the Preliminary Results, we are
not attaching a decision memorandum to this Federal Register notice.
For further details of the programs included in this proceeding, see
the Preliminary Results.
Final Partial Rescission
The Department preliminarily rescinded the administrative review
with respect to DSEC. The Department did not receive any comments from
interested parties regarding its decision to preliminarily rescind the
administrative review of DSEC. Therefore, for purposes of these final
results, we are rescinding the administrative review of DSEC.
Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of review to liquidate shipments of
subject merchandise by DSM entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006,
without regard to countervailing duties. We will also instruct CBP not
to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties on
shipments of the subject merchandise by DSM entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this review.
For all non-reviewed companies, we will instruct CBP to continue to
collect cash deposits at the most recent company-specific or country-
wide rate applicable to the company. Accordingly, the cash deposit
rates that will be applied to non-reviewed companies covered by this
order are those established in the CVD order. Notice of Amended Final
Determination: Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From
India and the Republic of Korea; and Notice of Countervailing Duty
Orders: Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From France,
India, Indonesia, Italy, and the Republic of Korea, 65 FR 6587
(February 10, 2000). These rates shall apply to all non-reviewed
companies until reviews of companies assigned these rates are
completed.
Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion

with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
