administrative review of the
Respondents.
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Rescission of Review
Dated: June 5, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Operations.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of
the Department’s regulations, the
Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review, or withdraws at a
later date if the Department exercises its
discretion to extend the time limit for
withdrawing the request. The
Petitioners withdrew their request
within the 90-day deadline. Therefore,
we are rescinding the review with
respect to all companies.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. 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.

Notifications
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded of their responsibility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.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (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.

Certain Tin Mill Products From Japan:
Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
U.S. International Trade Commission
(USITC) that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on certain tin
mill products from Japan would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, the
Department is publishing a notice of
continuation of this antidumping duty
order.
DATES: Effective Date: June 12, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 28, 2000, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on certain tin mill products from Japan.1
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 Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).2
As a result of this sunset review, the
Department determined that revocation

of the antidumping duty order on
certain tin mill products from Japan
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and, therefore,
notified the USITC of the magnitude of
the margins of dumping likely to prevail
should the order be revoked.3
On June 4, 2012, the USITC published
its determination, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on certain tin
mill products from Japan would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United Sates within a
reasonably foreseeable time.4
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
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
following products, by way of example,
are outside and/or specifically excluded
from the scope of the order:
■ Single reduced electrolytically
chromium coated steel with a thickness
0.238 mm (85 pound base box) (± 10%)
or 0.251 mm (90 pound base box) (±
10%) or 0.255 mm (± 10%) with 770

900 mm (maximum length if sheared)

T2 1⁄2 anneal temper, with a yield

31589 (June 1, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of this sunset review, the Department determined that
revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain tin mill products
from Japan would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the USITC of the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail should the order be revoked.\3\

Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 4, 2012, the USITC published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on certain tin mill products from Japan would be likely to lead
to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United Sates within a reasonably foreseeable time.\4\

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
following products, by way of example, are outside and/or specifically

Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by the Department and the USITC
that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain tin mill
products from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and 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 antidumping duty order on certain tin
mill products from Japan.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect cash
deposits of estimated antidumping duties at the rates in effect at the
time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective
date of the continuation of this order will be the effective date
listed above. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department
intends to initiate the next sunset review of this order not later than
30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
This five-year (sunset) review and this notice are in accordance
with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
Dated: June 6, 2012.
