Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review
Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On April 27, 2010, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published a notice of
initiation of an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon quality steel
flat products (hot-rolled steel) from
Brazil. The review covers four
producers/exporters of hot-rolled steel
from Brazil, all mandatory respondents.
Based on the withdrawal of requests
from Nucor Corporation (Nucor) and
United States Steel Corporation (U.S.
Steel), domestic producers of hot-rolled
steel, we are now rescinding this
administrative review in full.
DATES: Effective Date: October 25, 2010.

Background
On March 1, 2010, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on hot-rolled
steel from Brazil for the period March 1,
2009, through February 28, 2010. See

Administrative Review, 75 FR 9162
(March 1, 2010). On March 31, 2010, the
Department received requests from
Nucor and U.S. Steel (collectively,
domestic producers), that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on hot-rolled steel from Brazil. Domestic
producers requested that the review
cover four producers/exporters of hotrolled steel from Brazil, namely Usinas
Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A.—
USIMINAS,1 Companhia Siderurgica
Paulista—Cosipa (hereafter referred to
as USIMINAS/COSIPA),2 Companhia
Siderurgica de Tubarao (CST), and
Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN).
On April 27, 2010, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
notice of initiation of this administrative
review of hot-rolled steel from Brazil.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 75 FR 22107 (April 27, 2010).
On May 4, 2010, the Department
issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to all four mandatory
respondents. Also, on May 4, 2010,
respondent CSN timely submitted its
certificate of no shipments, entries or
sales of subject merchandise to the
United States during the period of
review (POR) March 1, 2009, through
February 28, 2010, and requested
rescission of its administrative review.
CST, on May 17, 2010, filed a timely
certification that CST had no shipments,
sales or entries to the United States
during the POR, and consequently also
requested that its review be rescinded.
In addition, it claimed that
ArcelorMittal Brasil is the successor-ininterest to CST and requested the
Department rescind its review.
USIMINAS/COSIPA submitted, on May
26, 2010, a certification that it had no
sales, shipments or entries of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR.
On June 3, 2010, the Department
issued a letter to CST and ArcelorMittal
1 In the initiation notice published on April 27,
2010 (75 FR 22108), the company Usinas
Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A. (USIMINAS),
was incorrectly initiated as Usiminas Siderurgicas
de Minas Gerais S.A. (USIMINAS). The correction
of this spelling error was published in the following
month’s notice of initiation of antidumping and
countervailing duty administrative reviews. See
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 29976 (May 28,
2010).
2 In the final determination of the investigation of
hot-rolled steel from Brazil, the Department
determined that USIMINAS and COSIPA were
affiliated parties, and collapsed these entities. See
Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value; Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon
Quality Steel Products From Brazil, 64 FR 38756,

Brasil clarifying that in order to be
recognized as the successor-in-interest
of CST it has to formally request the
Department to conduct a changed
circumstances review pursuant to
section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.216 and 351.221(c)(3).
The Department issued a ‘‘No
Shipment Inquiry’’ to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) on June 15,
2010, to confirm that there were no
shipments or entries of hot-rolled steel
from Brazil produced or exported by
USIMINAS/COSIPA, CSN and CST
during the POR of the instant
administrative review. CBP only
responds to the Department’s inquiry
when CBP finds that there have been
shipments or entries of the merchandise
in question. CBP did not respond to the
Department’s inquiry, and no party
submitted comments. Based on this
information, on July 6, 2010, the
Department substantiated USIMINAS/
COSIPA’s, CST’s, and CSN’s claims that
they did not have any shipments or
entries of hot-rolled steel from Brazil
during the instant POR. See
Memorandum to the File titled, ‘‘Usinas
Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A.
(USIMINAS), Companhia Siderurgica
Paulista (Cosipa), Companhia
Siderurgica de Tubarao (CST), and
Companhia Siderurgica Nacional
(CSN)—No Shipments of Certain HotRolled, Flat-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel
Flat Products From Brazil Pursuant to
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Inquiry’’ from Ericka Ukrow,
International Trade Compliance
Analyst, dated July 6, 2010 (CBP
Memo).
On July 22, 2010, and July 23, 2010,
respectively, Nucor and U.S. Steel
timely filed letters withdrawing their
requests for review of the four
companies for which the Department
initiated this review basing their
decision on the Department’s
substantiation of respondents’ claims of
no shipments or entries of the subject
merchandise during the POR. See Letter
from Nucor titled, ‘‘Certain Hot-Rolled
Carbon Steel Flat Products From Brazil:
Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,’’ dated July 22,
2010; Letter from U.S. Steel titled,
‘‘Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat
Products From Brazil,’’ dated July 23,
2010, citing the Department’s CBP
memo, dated July 6, 2010.
Period of Review
The POR is March 1, 2009, through
February 28, 2010.

that requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. Because parties
submitted their requests to rescind the
administrative review of all four
companies within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation,
the Department is rescinding this review
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Assessment Instructions
The Department will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For companies for
which this review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
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.

Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel Flat Products
From Brazil: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On April 27, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the
Department) published a notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled flat-rolled
carbon quality steel flat products (hot-rolled steel) from Brazil. The
review covers four producers/exporters of hot-rolled steel from Brazil,
all mandatory respondents. Based on the withdrawal of requests from
Nucor Corporation (Nucor) and United States Steel Corporation (U.S.
Steel), domestic producers of hot-rolled steel, we are now rescinding
this administrative review in full.
DATES: Effective Date: October 25, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Cordell, Ericka Ukrow, or
Angelica Mendoza, AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 1, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register
the notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on hot-rolled steel from Brazil for the period
March 1, 2009, through February 28, 2010. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation;
Opportunity To Request
[[Page 65454]]
Administrative Review, 75 FR 9162 (March 1, 2010). On March 31, 2010,
the Department received requests from Nucor and U.S. Steel
(collectively, domestic producers), that the Department conduct an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled steel
from Brazil. Domestic producers requested that the review cover four
producers/exporters of hot-rolled steel from Brazil, namely Usinas
Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A.--USIMINAS,\1\ Companhia Siderurgica
Paulista--Cosipa (hereafter referred to as USIMINAS/COSIPA),\2\
Companhia Siderurgica de Tubarao (CST), and Companhia Siderurgica
Nacional (CSN). On April 27, 2010, the Department published in the
Federal Register the notice of initiation of this administrative review
of hot-rolled steel from Brazil. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation
in Part, 75 FR 22107 (April 27, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In the initiation notice published on April 27, 2010 (75 FR
22108), the company Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A.
(USIMINAS), was incorrectly initiated as Usiminas Siderurgicas de
Minas Gerais S.A. (USIMINAS). The correction of this spelling error
was published in the following month's notice of initiation of
antidumping and countervailing duty administrative reviews. See
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 75 FR 29976 (May 28, 2010).
\2\ In the final determination of the investigation of hot-
rolled steel from Brazil, the Department determined that USIMINAS
and COSIPA were affiliated parties, and collapsed these entities.
See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value;
Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel Products From
Brazil, 64 FR 38756, 38759 (July 19, 1999).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 4, 2010, the Department issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to all four mandatory respondents. Also, on May 4, 2010,
respondent CSN timely submitted its certificate of no shipments,
entries or sales of subject merchandise to the United States during the
period of review (POR) March 1, 2009, through February 28, 2010, and
requested rescission of its administrative review. CST, on May 17,
2010, filed a timely certification that CST had no shipments, sales or
entries to the United States during the POR, and consequently also
requested that its review be rescinded. In addition, it claimed that
ArcelorMittal Brasil is the successor-in-interest to CST and requested
the Department rescind its review. USIMINAS/COSIPA submitted, on May
26, 2010, a certification that it had no sales, shipments or entries of
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.
On June 3, 2010, the Department issued a letter to CST and
ArcelorMittal Brasil clarifying that in order to be recognized as the
successor-in-interest of CST it has to formally request the Department
to conduct a changed circumstances review pursuant to section 751(b) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.216 and
351.221(c)(3).
The Department issued a ``No Shipment Inquiry'' to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) on June 15, 2010, to confirm that there were no
shipments or entries of hot-rolled steel from Brazil produced or
exported by USIMINAS/COSIPA, CSN and CST during the POR of the instant
administrative review. CBP only responds to the Department's inquiry
when CBP finds that there have been shipments or entries of the
merchandise in question. CBP did not respond to the Department's
inquiry, and no party submitted comments. Based on this information, on
July 6, 2010, the Department substantiated USIMINAS/COSIPA's, CST's,
and CSN's claims that they did not have any shipments or entries of
hot-rolled steel from Brazil during the instant POR. See Memorandum to
the File titled, ``Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A. (USIMINAS),
Companhia Siderurgica Paulista (Cosipa), Companhia Siderurgica de
Tubarao (CST), and Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN)--No Shipments
of Certain Hot-Rolled, Flat-Rolled Carbon Quality Steel Flat Products
From Brazil Pursuant to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Inquiry''
from Ericka Ukrow, International Trade Compliance Analyst, dated July
6, 2010 (CBP Memo).
On July 22, 2010, and July 23, 2010, respectively, Nucor and U.S.
Steel timely filed letters withdrawing their requests for review of the
four companies for which the Department initiated this review basing
their decision on the Department's substantiation of respondents'
claims of no shipments or entries of the subject merchandise during the
POR. See Letter from Nucor titled, ``Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel
Flat Products From Brazil: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated July 22, 2010; Letter from U.S. Steel titled, ``Certain
Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From Brazil,'' dated July 23,
2010, citing the Department's CBP memo, dated July 6, 2010.
Period of Review
The POR is March 1, 2009, through February 28, 2010.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are certain hot-rolled flat-
rolled carbon-quality steel products of a rectangular shape, of a width
of 0.5 inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor coated with metal and
whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other
non-metallic substances, in coils (whether or not in successively
superimposed layers) regardless of thickness, and in straight lengths,
of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and of a width measuring at least 10
times the thickness. Universal mill plate (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,

Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party
[[Page 65456]]
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested
review. Because parties submitted their requests to rescind the
administrative review of all four companies within 90 days of the date
of publication of the notice of initiation, the Department is
rescinding this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment Instructions
The Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries. For companies for which this review is
rescinded, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
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 Administrative Protective Orders
This notice serves as a 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 Sec. 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or 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 sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: October 19, 2010.
