Steel products to be included in the
scope are of rectangular, square, circular
or other shape and of rectangular or
non-rectangular cross-section where
such non-rectangular cross-section is
achieved subsequent to the rolling
process (i.e., products which have been
‘‘worked after rolling’’)—for example,
products which have been beveled or
rounded at the edges. Steel products
that meet the noted physical
characteristics that are painted,
varnished or coated with plastic or other
non-metallic substances are included
within the scope. Also, specifically
included in the scope are high strength,
low alloy (‘‘HSLA’’) steels. HSLA steels
are recognized as steels with microalloying levels of elements such as
chromium, copper, niobium, titanium,
vanadium, and molybdenum.
Steel products to be included in the
scope, 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 two
percent or less, by weight, and (3) none
of the elements listed below is equal to
or 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
0.10 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 zirconium. All products
that meet the written physical
description, and in which the chemistry
quantities do not equal or exceed any
one of the levels listed above, are within
the scope unless otherwise specifically
excluded. The following products are
specifically excluded from the orders:

Background
On November 1, 2010, the Department
initiated and the ITC instituted sunset
reviews of the AD and CVD orders on
CTL Plate from India, Indonesia, Italy,
Japan, and Korea, pursuant to sections
751(c) and 752 of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), respectively.
See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Review, 75 FR 67082 (November 1,
2010). As a result of its reviews, the
Department found that revocation of the
AD orders would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and that revocation of the CVD orders
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of countervailable
subsidization, and notified the ITC of
the margins of dumping and the subsidy
rates likely to prevail were the orders
revoked. See Certain Cut-to-Length
Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From India,
Indonesia, Italy, Japan, and the
Republic of Korea; Final Results of the
Expedited Second Sunset Reviews of the

India, Indonesia, Italy, and the Republic
of Korea: Final Results of Expedited
Sunset Review, 76 FR 12702 (March 8,
2011).
On December 27, 2011, the ITC
determined that revocation of the AD
and CVD orders on CTL Plate from
India, Indonesia, and Korea would
likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of material injury within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See Cut-ToLength Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From
India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, and

likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, that revocation
of the countervailing duty (``CVD'') orders on CTL Plate from India,
Indonesia, and Korea would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of a countervailable subsidy, and that revocation of these
AD and CVD orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2010, the Department initiated and the ITC
instituted sunset reviews of the AD and CVD orders on CTL Plate from
India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, and Korea, pursuant to sections 751(c)
and 752 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''),
respectively. See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 75 FR
67082 (November 1, 2010). As a result of its reviews, the Department
found that revocation of the AD orders would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD
orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidization, and notified the ITC of the margins of
dumping and the subsidy rates likely to prevail were the orders
revoked. See Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From
India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, and the Republic of Korea; Final
Results of the Expedited Second Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty

Korea: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review, 76 FR 12702 (March 8,
2011).
On December 27, 2011, the ITC determined that revocation of the AD
and CVD orders on CTL Plate from India, Indonesia, and Korea would
likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury within
a reasonably foreseeable time. See Cut-To-Length Carbon-Quality Steel

(December 27, 2011) and USITC Publication 4296 (December 2011),
entitled Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From India,
Indonesia, Italy, Japan, and the Republic of Korea (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-
388-391 and 731-TA-817-821 (Second Review)).
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise subject to the AD and CVD orders is certain hot-
rolled carbon-quality steel: (1) Universal mill plates (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 nominal or
actual thickness of not less than 4 mm, which are cut-to-length (not in
coils) and without patterns in relief), of iron or non-alloy-quality
steel; and (2) flat-rolled products, hot-rolled, of a nominal or actual
thickness of 4.75 mm or more and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and
measures at least twice the thickness, and which are cut-to-length (not
in coils).
Steel products to be included in the scope are of rectangular,
square, circular or other shape and of rectangular or non-rectangular
cross-section where such non-rectangular cross-section is achieved
subsequent to the rolling process (i.e., products which have been
``worked after rolling'')--for example, products which have been
beveled or rounded at the edges. Steel products that meet the noted
physical characteristics that are painted, varnished or coated with
plastic or other non-metallic substances are included within the scope.
Also, specifically included in the scope are high strength, low alloy
(``HSLA'') steels. HSLA steels are recognized as steels with micro-
alloying levels of elements such as chromium, copper, niobium,
titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum.
Steel products to be included in the scope, 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
two percent or less, by weight, and (3) none of the elements listed
below is equal to or 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 0.10 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 zirconium. All products that
meet the written physical description, and in which the chemistry
quantities do not equal or exceed any one of the levels listed above,
are within the scope unless otherwise specifically excluded. The
following products are specifically excluded from the orders: (1)
Products clad, plated, or coated with metal, whether or not painted,
varnished or coated with plastic or other non-metallic substances; (2)
SAE grades (formerly AISI grades) of series 2300 and above; (3)
products made to ASTM A710 and A736 or their proprietary equivalents;
(4) abrasion-resistant steels (i.e., USS AR 400, USS AR 500); (5)
products made to ASTM A202, A225, A514 grade S, A517 grade S, or their
proprietary equivalents; (6) ball bearing steels; (7) tool steels; and
(8) silicon manganese steel or silicon electric steel. The merchandise
subject to the orders is currently classifiable in the HTSUS under
subheadings: 7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045,
7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000, 7208.53.0000, 7208.90.0000, 7210.70.3000,
7210.90.9000, 7211.13.0000, 7211.14.0030, 7211.14.0045, 7211.90.0000,
7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, 7212.50.0000, 7225.40.3050, 7225.40.7000,

7226.99.0000.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to
the orders is dispositive.
Determination
As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC
that revocation of these AD and CVD orders would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping or a countervailable subsidy, and
of material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to
section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders the
continuation of the AD and CVD orders on CTL Plate from India,
Indonesia, and Korea. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue
to collect cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry
for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the
continuation of these orders is the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this Notice of Continuation.
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next five-year review of these
orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of continuation.
These five-year (sunset) reviews and notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1)
of the Act.
