On December 31, 2007, United States
Steel Corporation (‘‘Petitioner’’) and
Nucor Corporation requested an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain hot–

rolled carbon steel flat products
(‘‘Indian Hot–Rolled’’), which were
produced or exported by Ispat
Industries Limited (‘‘Ispat’’), JSW Steel
Limited (‘‘JSW’’), Tata Steel Limited
(‘‘Tata’’), and Essar Steel Limited
(‘‘Essar’’). On January 28, 2008, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of antidumping duty
administrative review of Indian Hot–
Rolled for the period December 1, 2006,
through November 30, 2007. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 73 FR 4829 (January 28, 2008)
(Initiation Notice). The preliminary
results are currently due no later than
September 1, 2008.
Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review with Respect to Ispat, JSW, and
Tata
On February 25, 2008, the Department
issued a memorandum informing the
interested parties of the Department’s
intention to limit the number of
companies it would examine in this
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
‘‘Act’’). The Department indicated that
its respondent selection would be made
based on the entry data from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
for Indian Hot–Rolled during the period
of review (‘‘POR’’). The Department set
aside a period of seven calendar days for
interested parties to raise issues
regarding the use of CBP data for
respondent selection in this review. See
Memorandum to File, Re: ‘‘2006–2007
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review of Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon
Steel Flat Products from India, ‘‘
Subject: ‘‘Customs and Border
Protection Data for Selection of
Respondents for Individual Review,’’
from Cindy Robinson, Senior Financial
Analyst, through James Terpstra,
Program Manager, and Melissa Skinner,
Office Director, Office 3, AD/CVD
Operations, dated February 25, 2008
(‘‘Hot–Rolled Memo’’).
On February 26–27, 2008, Ispat, Tata,
and JSW each informed the Department
that they did not have shipments of the
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR. On March 3,
2008, Petitioner submitted its comments
in response to the Hot–Rolled Memo
stating that since the Department issued
the Hot–Rolled Memo, Ispat, JSW, and
Tata have each certified that they had
no shipments of subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR, and
their assertions are confirmed by the
CBP data. Therefore, Petitioner asserted
that the Department should rescind the
PO 00000
Frm 00011

instant administrative review with
respect to Ispat, JSW, and Tata.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind an
administrative review, ‘‘with respect to
a particular exporter or producer, if the
Secretary concludes that, during the
period covered by the review, there
were no entries, exports, or sales of the
subject merchandise, as the case may
be.’’ We examined CBP entry data for
the three exporters/manufacturers: Ispat,
JSW, and Tata, and we are satisfied that
the record indicates that there were no
U.S. entries of subject merchandise from
these three companies during the POR.
Accordingly, following the
Department’s practice, we are
preliminarily rescinding this review
with respect to Ispat, JSW, and Tata.
See, e.g., Certain Frozen Fish Fillets
From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:

Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Partial Rescission, 73 FR
15479, 15480 (March 24, 2008).
After the preliminary partial
rescission of Ispat, JSW, and Tata, only
one respondent, Essar, remains in this
review.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
requires the Department to make a
preliminary determination within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order or finding for which
a review is requested. Section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further states that
if it is not practicable to complete the
review within the time period specified,
the administering authority may extend
the 245-day period to issue its
preliminary results to up to 365 days.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete this administrative review
within the time limits mandated by
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because
we require additional time to analyze
the sales and cost data submitted by
Essar and issue supplemental
questionnaires to the company.
Therefore, we are extending the time
period for issuing the preliminary
results of review by 60 days. The
preliminary results are now due no later
than October 31, 2008. The final results
continue to be due 120 days after
publication of the preliminary results.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751 of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days

Assessment
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
19 CFR 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 presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 31, 2007, United States Steel Corporation
(``Petitioner'') and Nucor Corporation requested an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel
flat products (``Indian Hot-Rolled''), which were produced or exported
by Ispat Industries Limited (``Ispat''), JSW Steel Limited (``JSW''),
Tata Steel Limited (``Tata''), and Essar Steel Limited (``Essar''). On
January 28, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')
published a notice of initiation of antidumping duty administrative
review of Indian Hot-Rolled for the period December 1, 2006, through
November 30, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 73 FR
4829 (January 28, 2008) (Initiation Notice). The preliminary results
are currently due no later than September 1, 2008.
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review with Respect to Ispat, JSW,
and Tata
On February 25, 2008, the Department issued a memorandum informing
the interested parties of the Department's intention to limit the
number of companies it would examine in this review pursuant to section
777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''). The
Department indicated that its respondent selection would be made based
on the entry data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') for
Indian Hot-Rolled during the period of review (``POR''). The Department
set aside a period of seven calendar days for interested parties to
raise issues regarding the use of CBP data for respondent selection in
this review. See Memorandum to File, Re: ``2006-2007 Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products
from India, `` Subject: ``Customs and Border Protection Data for
Selection of Respondents for Individual Review,'' from Cindy Robinson,
Senior Financial Analyst, through James Terpstra, Program Manager, and
Melissa Skinner, Office Director, Office 3, AD/CVD Operations, dated
February 25, 2008 (``Hot-Rolled Memo'').
On February 26-27, 2008, Ispat, Tata, and JSW each informed the
Department that they did not have shipments of the subject merchandise
to the United States during the POR. On March 3, 2008, Petitioner
submitted its comments in response to the Hot-Rolled Memo stating that
since the Department issued the Hot-Rolled Memo, Ispat, JSW, and Tata
have each certified that they had no shipments of subject merchandise
to the United States during the POR, and their assertions are confirmed
by the CBP data. Therefore, Petitioner asserted that the Department
should rescind the instant administrative review with respect to Ispat,
JSW, and Tata.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an
administrative review, ``with respect to a particular exporter or
producer, if the Secretary concludes that, during the period covered by
the review, there were no entries, exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise, as the case may be.'' We examined CBP entry data for the
three exporters/manufacturers: Ispat, JSW, and Tata, and we are
satisfied that the record indicates that there were no U.S. entries of
subject merchandise from these three companies during the POR.
Accordingly, following the Department's practice, we are preliminarily
rescinding this review with respect to Ispat, JSW, and Tata. See, e.g.,
Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Notice of Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of the Third

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Partial Rescission, 73 FR 15479, 15480 (March
24, 2008).
After the preliminary partial rescission of Ispat, JSW, and Tata,
only one respondent, Essar, remains in this review.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to make a
preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is
requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further states that if it is
not practicable to complete the review within the time period
specified, the administering authority may extend the 245-day period to

We determine that it is not practicable to complete this
administrative review within the time limits mandated by section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because we require additional time to analyze
the sales and cost data submitted by Essar and issue supplemental
questionnaires to the company. Therefore, we are extending the time
period for issuing the preliminary results of review by 60 days. The
preliminary results are now due no later than October 31, 2008. The
final results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the
preliminary results.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
