SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The International Trade
Administration’s (ITA) Advocacy Center
marshals federal resources to assist U.S.
firms competing for foreign government
procurements worldwide. The
Advocacy Center works closely with the
Trade Promotion Coordination
Committee, which is chaired by the
Secretary of Commerce, and includes 19
federal agencies involved in Export
Promotion. Advocacy assistance is wide
and varied, but most often it is used to
assist U.S. companies that must deal
with foreign governments or
government-owned entities to win or
maintain business transactions in
foreign markets. The Advocacy Center’s
goal is to ensure opportunities for
American companies in the
international marketplace.
The purpose of the Advocacy
questionnaire is to collect the
information necessary to evaluate
whether it would be appropriate to
provide U.S. Government (USG)
advocacy assistance on a given
transaction. The Advocacy Center,
appropriate ITA officials, officers/
Ambassadors at U.S. Embassies/
Consulates worldwide and other federal
agencies that provide advocacy support
to U.S. companies, request companies
seeking USG advocacy support to
complete the questionnaire. The
information derived from a completed
questionnaire is critical in helping the
Advocacy Center determine whether it
is in the U.S. national interest to
advocate on a specific transaction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 29, 2001, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on hot-rolled steel from Thailand. See
Notice of Antidumping Duty Order:
Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat
Products From Thailand, 66 FR 59562
(November 29, 2001) (Order). On
November 3, 2008, the Department
published the opportunity to request an
administrative review of, inter alia, hotrolled steel from Thailand for the period
November 1, 2007, through October 31,
2008. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 73
FR 65288 (November 3, 2008).
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(1), on December 1, 2008,
United States Steel Corporation (U.S.
Steel or petitioner) and G Steel
requested that we conduct an
administrative review of G Steel’s sales
of subject merchandise. G J Steel also
requested that we review sales of G J
Steel, asserting in its request the
Department should ‘‘treat both
companies [i.e., G Steel and G J Steel]
as affiliated, and as affiliated producers,
as a single entity entitled to a single
antidumping duty rate as a result of this
administrative review.’’ On December
24, 2008, the Department published in
the Federal Register a notice of
initiation of this antidumping duty
administrative review covering the
period November 1, 2007, through
October 31, 2008. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 73 FR 79055
(December 24, 2008).
On January 13, 2009, the Department
issued its antidumping questionnaire to
G Steel and G J Steel under separate
cover letters. On February 1, 2009, G
Steel and G J Steel submitted a
combined section A questionnaire
response (Section A Response). On
March 12, 2009, prior to the deadlines
for the remainder of their additional
questionnaire responses, G Steel and G
J Steel withdrew their requests for a
review, and asked the Department to
rescind the review with respect to G
Steel and G J Steel, noting that in the
case of G J Steel no other party had
requested a review. G Steel and G J Steel
noted their request for withdrawal
comes within 90 days of the publication
of the notice of initiation. Finally, both
companies requested the return of

results of the administrative review of G
Steel.

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
information disclosed under the
Department’s Administrative Protective
Order, to which request the Department
acceded in its April 9, 2009 letter to G
Steel and G J Steel.
On April 7, 20, and 28, 2009,
domestic interested parties Nucor
Corporation (Nucor) and U.S. Steel
submitted comments and additional
information for the record in support of
their position that the review should not
be rescinded.
Dated: June 19, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
[FR Doc. E9–15177 Filed 6–25–09; 8:45 am]
Rescission of Administrative Review
BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the parties
that requested a review withdraw the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. On March 12,
2009, G J Steel withdrew its request for
an administrative review. G J Steel
withdrew its request before the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested
an administrative review of this
antidumping duty order with respect to
G J Steel for the 2007–2008 period.
Therefore, in response to the
withdrawal by G J Steel of its request for
an administrative review, and pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department
rescinds the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
hot-rolled carbon steel flat products
from Thailand with respect to G J Steel.
As regards G Steel, the petitioner U.S.
Steel requested a review of G Steel and
therefore, as not all parties have
withdrawn their requests for a review of
G Steel, the review will continue with
respect to G Steel.
Assessment
The Department will not issue
liquidation instructions or cash deposit
instructions with respect to G J Steel at
this time because the Department may
decide to ‘‘collapse’’ G Steel with G J
Steel based upon G Steel’s request for
the Department to collapse the two
companies under 19 CFR 351.401(f) of
the Department’s regulations and also
based upon U.S. Steel’s and Nucor’s
comments to the Department concerning
whether G Steel and G J Steel should be
treated as a single entity. The
Department therefore intends to explore
the issue of G Steel and G J Steel’s
affiliation and the proper treatment of
these firms in the context of the
administrative review that is still
ongoing with respect to G Steel. We will
include our findings in our preliminary
results of review with respect to G Steel.
Accordingly, the Department expects to
issue liquidation instructions with
respect to G J Steel following the final

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 29, 2001, the Department
published the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled steel from Thailand.
See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel
Flat Products From Thailand, 66 FR 59562 (November 29, 2001) (Order).
On November 3, 2008, the Department published the opportunity to
request an administrative review of, inter alia, hot-rolled steel from
Thailand for the period November 1, 2007, through October 31, 2008. See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 73 FR
65288 (November 3, 2008).
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), on December 1, 2008,
United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel or petitioner) and G Steel
requested that we conduct an administrative review of G Steel's sales
of subject merchandise. G J Steel also requested that we review sales
of G J Steel, asserting in its request the Department should ``treat
both companies [i.e., G Steel and G J Steel] as affiliated, and as
affiliated producers, as a single entity entitled to a single
antidumping duty rate as a result of this administrative review.'' On
December 24, 2008, the Department published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of this antidumping duty administrative review
covering the period November 1, 2007, through October 31, 2008. See
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 79055 (December 24,
2008).
On January 13, 2009, the Department issued its antidumping
questionnaire to G Steel and G J Steel under separate cover letters. On
February 1, 2009, G Steel and G J Steel submitted a combined section A
questionnaire response (Section A Response). On March 12, 2009, prior
to the deadlines for the remainder of their additional questionnaire
responses, G Steel and G J Steel withdrew their requests for a review,
and asked the Department to rescind the review with respect to G Steel
and G J Steel, noting that in the case of G J Steel no other party had
requested a review. G Steel and G J Steel noted their request for
withdrawal comes within 90 days of the publication of the notice of
initiation. Finally, both companies requested the return of information
disclosed under the Department's Administrative Protective Order, to
which request the Department acceded in its April 9, 2009 letter to G
Steel and G J Steel.
On April 7, 20, and 28, 2009, domestic interested parties Nucor
Corporation (Nucor) and U.S. Steel submitted comments and additional
information for the record in support of their position that the review
should not be rescinded.
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On
March 12, 2009, G J Steel withdrew its request for an administrative
review. G J Steel withdrew its request before the 90-day deadline, and
no other party requested an administrative review of this antidumping
duty order with respect to G J Steel for the 2007-2008 period.
Therefore, in response to the withdrawal by G J Steel of its request
for an administrative review, and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department rescinds the administrative review of the antidumping duty
order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from Thailand
with respect to G J Steel. As regards G Steel, the petitioner U.S.
Steel requested a review of G Steel and therefore, as not all parties
have withdrawn their requests for a review of G Steel, the review will
continue with respect to G Steel.
Assessment
The Department will not issue liquidation instructions or cash
deposit instructions with respect to G J Steel at this time because the
Department may decide to ``collapse'' G Steel with G J Steel based upon
G Steel's request for the Department to collapse the two companies
under 19 CFR 351.401(f) of the Department's regulations and also based
upon U.S. Steel's and Nucor's comments to the Department concerning
whether G Steel and G J Steel should be treated as a single entity. The
Department therefore intends to explore the issue of G Steel and G J
Steel's affiliation and the proper treatment of these firms in the
context of the administrative review that is still ongoing with respect
to G Steel. We will include our findings in our preliminary results of
review with respect to G Steel. Accordingly, the Department expects to
issue liquidation instructions with respect to G J Steel following the
final results of the administrative review of G Steel.
This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
