SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 20, 2002, the
Department signed an agreement under
section 734(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), with Russian steel
producers/exporters, including J.S.C.
Severstal (Severstal), which suspended
the antidumping duty investigation on
certain cut–to-length carbon steel plate
(CTL plate) from Russia. See Suspension
of Antidumping Duty Investigation:
Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel
Plate from the Russian Federation, 68
FR 3859 (January 27, 2003).
On January 31, 2007, Nucor submitted
a request for an administrative review
pursuant to Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 72
FR 99 (January 3, 2007). On February
28, 2007, the Department initiated a
review of the Agreement. See Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR
8969 (February 28, 2007). On March 14,
2007, and October 5, 2007, the
Department issued its Questionnaire
and Supplemental Questionnaire,
respectively, to Severstal. Severstal
submitted its responses on April 20,
2007, and October 26, 2007,
respectively.
On October 1, 2007, the Department
postponed the preliminary results of
this review until January 31, 2008. See
Notice of Extension of Time Limit for

Scope of Review
The products covered by the
Agreement are hot–rolled iron and non–
alloy steel 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 thickness of not less
than 4 mm, not in coils 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 iron and non–alloy steel flat–
rolled products not in coils, 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 mm or
more in thickness and of a width which
exceeds 150 mm and measures at least
twice the thickness. Included as subject
merchandise in this petition are flat–
rolled products of nonrectangular crosssection 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. This merchandise
is currently classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS) under item
numbers 7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060,
7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045,

merchandise within the scope of this
Agreement is grade X–70 plate.

purposes, our written description of the
scope of this investigation is dispositive.

Final Results of Review
Our review of the information
submitted by Severstal indicates that the
company has adhered to the terms of the
Agreement, as indicated in our
preliminary results. See Preliminary
Results. The Department finds no
evidence in the information submitted
by Severstal of any discrepancies in
Severstal’s exports to the United States,
either directly or through third
countries, which would constitute a
violation of the Agreement.
Furthermore, the Department has not
received any comments on the matter
from Nucor nor any other interested
party, either prior or subsequent to the
issuance of the Preliminary Results.
Therefore, we continue to find that
Severstal has been in compliance with
the Agreement.
This notice serves as the only
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 return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation. We are
issuing and publishing this
determination and notice in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the
Act.
