The Foreign-Trade Zone Application
is the vehicle by which individual firms
or organizations apply for foreign-trade
zone (FTZ) status, for subzone status,
manufacturing authority or for
expansions and reorganizations of
existing zones. The FTZ Act and
Regulations require that an application
with a description of the proposed
project be made to the FTZ Board (19
U.S.C. 81b and 81f; 15 CFR 400.24–26)
before a license can be issued or a zone
can be expanded. The Act and
Regulations require that applications
contain detailed information on
facilities, financing, operational plans,
proposed manufacturing operations,
need, and economic impact.
Manufacturing activity in zones and
subzones can involve issues related to
domestic industry and trade policy
impact. Such applications must include
specific information on the customstariff related savings that result from
zone procedures and the economic
consequences of permitting such
savings. The FTZ Board needs complete
and accurate information on the
proposed operation and its economic
effects because the Act and Regulations
authorize the Board to restrict or
prohibit operations that are detrimental
to the public interest.

Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality
Steel Products From Brazil and Japan:
Revocation of the Antidumping Duty
Orders on Brazil and Japan and the
Countervailing Duty Order on Brazil
Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On August 6, 2010, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published the final results
of the sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) orders on
certain hot-rolled flat-rolled carbonquality steel products (‘‘hot-rolled

steel’’) from Brazil and Japan, and on
December 3, 2010, the final results of
the sunset review of the countervailing
duty (‘‘CVD’’) order on hot-rolled steel
from Brazil. In the final results, the
Department determined that revocation
of these orders would be likely to lead
to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and subsidization,
respectively. On June 6, 2011, the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
determined that revocation of these
orders would not be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time. Therefore, the Department is
revoking the AD orders on hot-rolled
steel from Brazil and Japan and the CVD
order on hot-rolled steel from Brazil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 1, 2010, the Department
initiated the second sunset reviews of
the AD orders on hot-rolled steel from
Brazil and Japan and the CVD order on
hot-rolled steel from Brazil in
accordance with section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’). See Initiation of Five-Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 75 FR 16437 (April
1, 2010). The Department completed
expedited reviews for the AD orders.
The Department found that revocation
of the AD orders would be likely to lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and notified the ITC of the
margins likely to prevail should the
orders be revoked. See Hot-Rolled FlatRolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products
from Brazil and Japan: Final Results of
Expedited Sunset Reviews of the
Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 47541
(August 6, 2010).
After receiving adequate responses
from domestic and respondent
interested parties, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A), the Department
conducted a full sunset review of the
CVD order on hot-rolled steel from
Brazil. The Department found that
revocation of the CVD order would be
likely to lead to a continuation or
recurrence of subsidization, and notified
the ITC of the net subsidy rates likely to
prevail should the order be revoked. See

Quality Steel Products From Brazil:
Final Results of Full Sunset Review of
Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 75455
(December 3, 2010).
On June 10, 2011, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the AD orders on hotrolled steel from Brazil and Japan and
the CVD order on hot-rolled steel from
Brazil would not be likely to lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time. See Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled
Carbon-Quality Steel Products From
Brazil, Japan, and Russia, 76 FR 34101
(June 10, 2011).
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders 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

Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products From Brazil
and Japan: Revocation of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Brazil and
Japan and the Countervailing Duty Order on Brazil
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On August 6, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published the final results of the sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty (``AD'') orders on certain hot-rolled flat-rolled
carbon-quality steel products (``hot-rolled steel'') from Brazil and
Japan, and on December 3, 2010, the final results of the sunset review
of the countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on hot-rolled steel from
Brazil. In the final results, the Department determined that revocation
of these orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping and subsidization, respectively. On June 6, 2011, the
International Trade Commission (``ITC'') determined that revocation of
these orders would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence
of material injury to an industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. Therefore, the Department is revoking the
AD orders on hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan and the CVD order
on hot-rolled steel from Brazil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 1, 2010, the Department initiated the second sunset
reviews of the AD orders on hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan and
the CVD order on hot-rolled steel from Brazil in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See
Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 75 FR 16437 (April 1,
2010). The Department completed expedited reviews for the AD orders.
The Department found that revocation of the AD orders would be likely
to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping, and notified the
ITC of the margins likely to prevail should the orders be revoked. See
Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products from Brazil and
Japan: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping
Duty Orders, 75 FR 47541 (August 6, 2010).
After receiving adequate responses from domestic and respondent
interested parties, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A), the
Department conducted a full sunset review of the CVD order on hot-
rolled steel from Brazil. The Department found that revocation of the
CVD order would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of
subsidization, and notified the ITC of the net subsidy rates likely to
prevail should the order be revoked. See Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled
Carbon-

Quality Steel Products From Brazil: Final Results of Full Sunset Review
of Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 75455 (December 3, 2010).
On June 10, 2011, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Act, that revocation of the AD orders on hot-rolled steel from
Brazil and Japan and the CVD order on hot-rolled steel from Brazil
would not be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time. See Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel
Products From Brazil, Japan, and Russia, 76 FR 34101 (June 10, 2011).
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the antidumping and countervailing duty
orders 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

and of a thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in coils and without
patterns in relief) of a thickness not less than 4.0 mm is not included
within the scope of the orders.
Specifically included in the scope are vacuum degassed, fully
stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free (``IF'')) steels,
high strength low alloy (``HSLA'') steels, and the substrate for motor
lamination steels. IF steels are recognized as low carbon steels with
micro-alloying levels of elements such as titanium and/or niobium added
to stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA steels are recognized
as steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as chromium,
copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. The substrate for
motor lamination steels contains micro-alloying levels of elements such
as silicon and aluminum.
Steel products to be included in the scope of the orders,
regardless of Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(``HTSUS'') definitions, are products in which: (1) Iron predominates,
by weight, over each of the other contained elements; (2) the carbon
content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and (3) none of the elements
listed below exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated:
1.80 percent of manganese, or 1.50 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent
of copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum, or 1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25 percent of
nickel, or 0.30 percent of tungsten, or 0.012 percent of boron, or 0.10
percent of molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of niobium, or 0.41 percent of
titanium, or 0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15 percent of zirconium.

Revocation
As a result of the determination by the ITC that revocation of
these AD and CVD orders is not likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States
within a reasonably foreseeable time, the Department is now revoking
the AD orders on hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan and the CVD
order on hot-rolled steel from Brazil, pursuant to section 751(d) of
the Act.
Effective Date of Revocation
The effective date of revocation is May 26, 2010, the fifth
anniversary of the date of publication in the Federal Register of the
most recent notice of continuation of the AD orders and the CVD order.
See 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the
Department intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to
these AD orders and the CVD order entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption, on or after May 26, 2010.
Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of
revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and
AD and CVD deposit requirements. The Department will complete any
pending administrative reviews of the orders and will conduct
administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the
effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed
requests for review.
This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written notification
of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply is a violation
of the APO, which may be subject to sanctions.
This revocation pursuant to five-year (sunset) reviews and this
notice are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(c),
751(d)(2), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
