SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 2, 2010, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
notice of initiation of the sunset reviews
of the antidumping duty orders on CMC
from Finland, the Netherlands, Mexico,
and Sweden, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act. See Initiation of Five-Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 75 FR 30777 (June 2,
2010) (Notice of Initiation).
The Department received a notice of
intent to participate from domestic
interested party Aqualon Company
(Aqualon) 2 within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
Aqualon claimed interested party status
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as
the sole manufacturer of a domestic-like
product in the United States.
The Department received adequate
substantive responses to the Notice of
Initiation from Aqualon within the 30day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no

substantive responses from respondent
interested parties with respect to the
antidumping duty orders on CMC from
Finland and Sweden.
On July 2, 2010, respondent Akzo
Nobel filed a response concerning the
sunset review of CMC from the
Netherlands. Using the data provided by
Aqualon in its July 1, 2010, substantive
response, and data provided by Akzo
Nobel in its July, 2, 2010, response, the
Department found that Akzo Nobel
accounted for less than 50 percent of
exports of subject merchandise from the
Netherlands. On July 22, 2010, the
Department determined that Akzo
Nobel’s response was not adequate
because it did not account for more than
50 percent of the total exports of subject
merchandise to the United States over
the relevant five-year period as required
by 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A). See
Memorandum to Richard O. Weible,
Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 7,

Five-Year ‘Sunset Review’ (2005
through 2009) of the Antidumping Duty
Order on Purified
Carboxymethylcellulose from the
Netherlands,’’ dated July 22, 2010.
As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
determined that it would conduct
expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on CMC
from Finland, the Netherlands, and
Sweden and notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission. See
Letter to Ms. Catherine DeFilippo,
Director, Office of Investigations, U.S.

SUMMARY: On June 2, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on stainless
steel plate in coils (SSPC) from Belgium, Italy, South Africa, South
Korea, and Taiwan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). The Department has conducted expedited
(120-day) sunset reviews for these orders pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of these sunset reviews, the
Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would
be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping.
DATES: Effective Date: October 6, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hector Rodriguez or Elizabeth

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 2, 2010, the Department published the notice of initiation
of the sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on SSPC from
Belgium, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'')
Review, 75 FR 30777 (June 2, 2010).
The Department received a notice of intent to participate from
Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, North American Stainless and the United
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers International Union (domestic interested
parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The
domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under
sections 771(9)(C) and (D) of the Act as U.S. producers of SSPC in the
United States or a certified union whose workers are engaged in the
production of SSPC in the United States.
The Department received adequate substantive responses to the
notice of initiation from the domestic interested parties within the
30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no
substantive responses from respondent interested parties with respect
to any of the orders covered by these sunset reviews. As a result,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted
expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on
SSPC from Belgium, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Scope of the Orders
Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing, by weight, 1.2
percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or
without other elements. The subject plate products are flat-rolled
products, 254 mm or over in width and 4.75 mm or more in thickness, in
coils, and annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise
descaled. The subject plate may also be further processed (e.g., cold-
rolled, polished, etc.) provided that it maintains the specified
dimensions of plate following such processing. Excluded from the scope
of the orders are the following: (1) Plate not in coils, (2) plate that
is not annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise
descaled, (3) sheet and strip, and (4) flat bars.
The merchandise subject to the orders is currently classifiable in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at
