molybdenum. The steel also contains,
by weight, carbon of between 1.0 and
1.1 percent, sulfur of 0.020 percent or
less, and includes between 0.20 and
0.30 percent copper and between 0.20
and 0.50 percent cobalt. This steel is
sold under proprietary names such as
‘‘GIN4 Mo.’’ The second excluded
stainless steel strip in coils is similar to
AISI 420–J2 and contains, by weight,
carbon of between 0.62 and 0.70
percent, silicon of between 0.20 and
0.50 percent, manganese of between
0.45 and 0.80 percent, phosphorus of no
more than 0.025 percent and sulfur of
no more than 0.020 percent. This steel
has a carbide density on average of 100
carbide particles per 100 square
microns. An example of this product is
‘‘GIN5’’ steel. The third specialty steel
has a chemical composition similar to
AISI 420 F, with carbon of between 0.37
and 0.43 percent, molybdenum of
between 1.15 and 1.35 percent, but
lower manganese of between 0.20 and
0.80 percent, phosphorus of no more
than 0.025 percent, silicon of between
0.20 and 0.50 percent, and sulfur of no
more than 0.020 percent. This product
is supplied with a hardness of more
than Hv 500 guaranteed after customer
processing, and is supplied as, for
example, ‘‘GIN6’’.5

sunset review of the countervailing duty
order (‘‘CVD’’) on stainless steel plate in

Steelworkers) (collectively, ‘‘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 a
domestic producer of stainless steel
plate in coils in the United States and
a certified union representing workers
in the domestic industry producing
stainless steel plate in coils in the
United States.
The Department received an adequate
substantive response collectively from
the domestic interested parties within
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, the
Department did not receive a
substantive response from any
government or respondent interested
party to this proceeding. As a result,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2),
the Department conducted an expedited
review of the CVD order.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the CVD
order consists of stainless steel plate in
coils. 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 order
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 order is currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) at subheadings:
