Final Results of Sunset Reviews
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on certain
circular welded non-alloy steel pipes
from Brazil, Mexico, the Republic of
Korea, and Taiwan; and certain circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Taiwan would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping

Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat
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 nonmetallic substances, in coils (whether or
not in successively superimposed
layers), regardless of thickness, and in
straight lengths of a thickness of 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 4.0
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 order. Specifically included within
the scope of the order 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 or niobium (also commonly
referred to as columbium), or both,
added to stabilize carbon and nitrogen
elements. HSLA steels are recognized as
steels with micro-alloying levels of
elements such as chromium, copper,
niobium, vanadium, and molybdenum.
The substrate for motor lamination
steels contains micro-alloying levels of
elements such as silicon and aluminum.
Steel products included in the scope
of the order, regardless of definitions in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’), are products
in which: (i) Iron predominates, by
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:56 Oct 27, 2011

weight, over each of the other contained
elements; (ii) the carbon content is 2
percent or less, by weight; and, (iii)
none of the elements listed below
exceeds the quantity, by weight,
respectively indicated:
1.80 percent of manganese, or
2.25 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
0.10 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or
0.15 percent of zirconium.
All products that meet the physical
and chemical description provided
above are within the scope of the order
unless otherwise excluded. The
following products, for example, are
outside or specifically excluded from
the scope of the order:
• Alloy hot-rolled steel products in

7226.99.00.00. Subject merchandise
may also enter under 7210.70.30.00,
7210.90.90.00, 7211.14.00.30,
7212.40.10.00, 7212.40.50.00, and
7212.50.00.00. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
subject to the order is dispositive.
Rescission of the Review
Based on its analysis of the record
information, the Department
preliminarily determined that the
merchandise in the Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data and the entry
documentation on the record was not
subject to the scope of the antidumping
duty order on hot-rolled carbon steel flat
products from the PRC.2 Accordingly, in
the Preliminary Results, the Department
indicated that it intended to rescind this
administrative review because there was
no information on the record which
indicated that Baosteel made sales,
shipments, or entries to the United
States of subject merchandise during the
POR. We did not receive comments
concerning the Preliminary Results.
Therefore, the Department continues to
find that the merchandise reflected in
the CBP data and entry documentation
on the record is not subject to the scope
of the antidumping duty order on hotrolled from the PRC. Furthermore,
because Baosteel is the only company
subject to this administrative review, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3),
and consistent with our practice 3, we
are rescinding this review of the
antidumping duty order on hot-rolled
from the PRC for the period of
2 Id.
at 48145.

Notification to Importers
AGENCY:
This notice also serves as a final
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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/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 violation
which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
As noted above, on August 8, 2011, the Department published in the
Federal Register the Preliminary Results of the administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled from the PRC. The
Department did not receive comments from interested parties on our
Preliminary Results.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are certain hot-rolled carbon
steel flat 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 of 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 4.0
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 order.
Specifically included within the scope of the order 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
or niobium (also commonly referred to as columbium), or both, added to
stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA steels are recognized as
steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as chromium, copper,
niobium, vanadium, and molybdenum. The substrate for motor lamination
steels contains micro-alloying levels of elements such as silicon and
aluminum.
Steel products included in the scope of the order, regardless of
definitions in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(``HTSUS''), are products in which: (i) Iron predominates, by weight,
over each of the other contained elements; (ii) the carbon content is 2
percent or less, by weight; and, (iii) none of the elements listed
below exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated:
1.80 percent of manganese, or
2.25 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
0.10 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or
0.15 percent of zirconium.
All products that meet the physical and chemical description
provided above are within the scope of the order unless otherwise
excluded. The following products, for example, are outside or
specifically excluded from the scope of the order:

Rescission of the Review
Based on its analysis of the record information, the Department
preliminarily determined that the merchandise in the Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') data and the entry documentation on the record was
not subject to the scope of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled
carbon steel flat products from the PRC.\2\ Accordingly, in the
Preliminary Results, the Department indicated that it intended to
rescind this administrative review because there was no information on
the record which indicated that Baosteel made sales, shipments, or
entries to the United States of subject merchandise during the POR. We
did not receive comments concerning the Preliminary Results. Therefore,
the Department continues to find that the merchandise reflected in the
CBP data and entry documentation on the record is not subject to the
scope of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled from the PRC.
Furthermore, because Baosteel is the only company subject to this
administrative review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and
consistent with our practice \3\, we are rescinding this review of the
antidumping duty order on hot-rolled from the PRC for the period of
[[Page 66903]]
November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010. The Department intends to
instruct CBP fifteen days after the publication of this notice to
liquidate such entries with respect to the PRC-wide entity. With
respect other entries, as indicated in the Preliminary Results, the
Department will refer this matter to CBP to determine the appropriate
Customs classification for the merchandise in question.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 violation which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended and
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: October 21, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
