Sales Below Cost in the Home Market
As explained in the Preliminary
Results, 76 FR at 30104, in accordance
with section 773(b) of the Act, the
Department tested whether TPBI made
sales at prices below the cost of
production. For these final results of
review and based on the statutory
criteria concerning below-cost sales, the
Department disregarded home-market
sales by TPBI that failed the cost-ofproduction test.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
determine that the following percentage
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for PRCBs from Thailand for the
period August 1, 2009, through July 31,
2010:

Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries.
We calculated importer/customerspecific duty-assessment amounts with
respect to sales by Landblue and TPBI
by dividing the total dumping margins
(calculated as the difference between
normal value and the export price) for
each importer or customer by the total
number of kilograms Landblue and TPBI
sold to that importer or customer. We
will direct CBP to assess the resulting
per-kilogram dollar amount against each
kilogram of merchandise on each of that
importer’s or customer’s entries during
the period of review. See 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
Because the order on PRCBs from
Thailand was revoked in part with
respect to TPBI effective July 28, 2010,
we will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties with respect to
TPBI on entries made through July 27,
2010. For further information, see
Notice of Implementation of

Determination Under Section 129 of the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act and
Partial Revocation of the Antidumping
Duty Order on Polyethylene Retail
Carrier Bags From Thailand, 75 FR
48940 (August 12, 2010) (Section 129
Determination).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
Landblue, TPBI, Hi-Pak Company
Limited, and ITW Minigrip (Thailand)
Co., Ltd., for which they did not know
that the merchandise they sold to an
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the
intermediary(ies) involved in the
transaction. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination and
which did not submit statements of no
shipments, we will instruct CBP to
apply the rates listed above to all entries
of subject merchandise produced and/or
exported by such firms.
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these final results of
review.
Cash-Deposit Requirements
With the exception of TPBI as a result
of the revocation, the following deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication consistent with section
751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cashdeposit rates for the companies subject
to the review will be the rates shown
above; (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed companies not listed above,
the cash-deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this or
a previous review or the original lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation but
the manufacturer is, the cash-deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; (4) the cash-deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will be 4.69 percent, the allothers rate from the amended final
determination of the LTFV investigation
revised as a result of the Section 129

These deposit requirements shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification Requirements
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
19 CFR 351.402(f) 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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also 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 351.305(a)(3). Timely
notification of the destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On
the basis of a notice of intent to
participate and adequate substantive
responses filed on behalf of domestic
interested parties and no response from
respondent interested parties, the
Department conducted an expedited
(120-day) sunset review. As a result of
this sunset review, the Department finds
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping.
The dumping margins are identified in
the Final Results of Review section of
this notice.

Background
On June 1, 2011, the Department
initiated the second sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on certain tin
mill products from Japan pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation
of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 76 FR
31588 (June 1, 2011). The Department
received notices of intent to participate
from three domestic interested parties,
United States Steel Corporation,
ArcelorMittal USA, LLC, and USS–
POSCO Industries (collectively,
domestic interested parties), within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). Domestic interested
parties claimed interested party status
under sections 771(9)(C) and (D) of the
Act as U.S. producers of the domestic
like product. We received complete
substantive responses from the domestic
interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, we did not
receive any response from any
respondent interested parties. 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 sunset review
of the order.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping duty order are tin mill flatrolled products that are coated or plated
with tin, chromium or chromium
oxides. Flat-rolled steel products coated
with tin are known as tin plate. Flatrolled steel products coated with

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this sunset review
are addressed in the ‘‘Issues and
Decision Memorandum’’ from Christian
Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated September 29,
2011 (Decision Memorandum), which is
hereby adopted by this notice. The
issues discussed in the Decision
Memorandum include the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and the magnitude of the margin likely
to prevail if the order were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in this sunset review
and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
memorandum, which is on file in the
Central Records Unit of the main
Department building.
In addition, a complete version of the
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the Web at https://

electronic version of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Review
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on certain tin
mill products from Japan would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the following percentage
weighted-average margins:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Executive Order 13158 directs the
Department of Commerce (DOC) and the
Department of the Interior (DOI) to work
with partners to strengthen the
protection of U.S. oceans and coastal
resources by developing a national
system of marine protected areas
(MPAs). These departments are working
closely with state, territorial, local, and
tribal governments, as well as other
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
stakeholders, to identify and inventory
the nation’s existing MPAs. Toward this
end, the DOC’s National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and DOI have created the Marine
Protected Areas Inventory, an online
spatial database that provides detailed
information on MPAs nationwide. The
inventory stores data on over 1,600
sites, across different management
programs and all levels of government.
In order to keep this data resource

Certain Tin Mill Products From Japan; Final Results of the Second
Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
initiated the second sunset review of the antidumping duty order on
certain tin mill products from Japan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff
[[Page 60002]]
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On the basis of a notice of intent
to participate and adequate substantive responses filed on behalf of
domestic interested parties and no response from respondent interested
parties, the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review.
As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation
of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of dumping. The dumping margins are identified in the Final
Results of Review section of this notice.
DATES: Effective Date: September 28, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Angelica Mendoza or David Cordell, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

3019 or 202-482-0408 respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 1, 2011, the Department initiated the second sunset review
of the antidumping duty order on certain tin mill products from Japan
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-Year
(``Sunset'') Review, 76 FR 31588 (June 1, 2011). The Department
received notices of intent to participate from three domestic
interested parties, United States Steel Corporation, ArcelorMittal USA,
LLC, and USS-POSCO Industries (collectively, domestic interested
parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
Domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under
sections 771(9)(C) and (D) of the Act as U.S. producers of the domestic
like product. We received complete substantive responses from the
domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19
CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). However, we did not receive any response from any
respondent interested parties. 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 sunset review of the order.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the antidumping duty order are tin mill
flat-rolled products that are coated or plated with tin, chromium or
chromium oxides. Flat-rolled steel products coated with tin are known
as tin plate. Flat-rolled steel products coated with chromium or
chromium oxides are known as tin-free steel or electrolytic chromium-
coated steel. The scope includes all the noted tin mill products
regardless of thickness, width, form (in coils or cut sheets), coating
type (electrolytic or otherwise), edge (trimmed, untrimmed or further
processed, such and scroll cut), coating thickness, surface finish,
temper, coating metal (tin, chromium, chromium oxide), reduction
(single- or double-reduced), and whether or not coated with a plastic
material. All products that meet the written physical description are
within the scope of the order unless specifically excluded. The
