Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. See generally
19 CFR 351.212. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review.
For Hubschercorp’s U.S. sales, we
will base the assessment rate assigned to
the corresponding entries on AFA,
determined as noted above.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for Hubschercorp
will be the rate shown above; (2) for
previously investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the LTFV investigation; (3)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, or the LTFV investigation,
but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the LTFV investigation for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 4.37 percent, the allothers rate made effective by the LTFV
investigation.3 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to

Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products From Germany and the
Republic of Korea: Final Results of Full
Sunset Reviews
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On July 27, 2012, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) issued the preliminary
results of the full third sunset reviews
of the antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) orders
on certain corrosion-resistant carbon
steel flat products (‘‘CORE’’) from
Germany and the Republic of Korea
(‘‘Korea’’).1 We received comments from
interested parties on our Preliminary
Results. As a result of our analysis, the
Department finds that revocation of
these AD orders would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at margins of dumping specified in the
‘‘Final Results of Reviews’’ section of
this notice.
DATES: Effective Date: December 6, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Background

On January 3, 2012, the Department
initiated the third sunset review of the
AD orders on CORE from Germany and
Korea pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’).2 The Department received notices
of intent to participate from the
following domestic interested parties:
United States Steel Corporation (‘‘U.S.
Steel’’); ArcelorMittal USA LLC
(‘‘AMUSA’’); and Nucor Corporation
(‘‘Nucor’’), within the deadline specified

in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The
domestic interested parties claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S. producers of
the subject merchandise. The
Department received complete
substantive responses from the domestic
interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).
The Department did not receive a
substantive response from any
respondent in either of the sunset
reviews of the AD orders on CORE from
Germany and Korea. As a result,
pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
determined to conduct expedited
reviews of these orders. However, on
April 20, 2012, the Department revised
its original adequacy determination and
determined to conduct full sunset
reviews.3 The conversion to full sunset
reviews and extension of the deadlines
for the preliminary results were done to
provide interested parties with an
opportunity to comment concerning the
implementation of the Final
Modification for Reviews.4
On July 27, 2012, the Department
published in the Preliminary Results of
the full third sunset review of the AD
order on CORE from Germany and
Korea.5 We preliminarily found that
dumping was likely to continue or
recur.
The Department invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results. On September 17, 2012, we
received case briefs from AMUSA and
U.S. Steel. We did not receive a rebuttal
brief. We did not conduct a hearing in
either review because a hearing was not
requested.
As explained in the memorandum
from the Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, the Department
exercised its discretion to toll deadlines
for the duration of the closure of the
Federal Government from October 29,
through October 30, 2012. Thus, all

Scope of the Orders
The products subject to the orders
include flat-rolled carbon steel
products, of rectangular shape, either
clad, plated, or coated with corrosionresistant metals such as zinc, aluminum,
or zinc-, aluminum-, nickel- or ironbased alloys, whether or not corrugated
or painted, varnished or coated with
plastics or other nonmetallic substances
in addition to the metallic coating, in
coils (whether or not in successively
superimposed layers) and of a width of
0.5 inch or greater, or in straight lengths
which, if of a thickness less than 4.75
mm, are of a width of 0.5 inch or greater
and which measures at least 10 times
the thickness, or if of a thickness of 4.75
mm or more, are of a width which
exceeds 150 mm and measures at least
twice the thickness, as currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) under item numbers:

Included in the orders are flat-rolled
products of nonrectangular cross-section
where such 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.
Excluded from the scope of the orders
are flat-rolled steel products either
plated or coated with tin, lead,
chromium, chromium oxides, both tin
and lead (‘‘terne plate’’), or both
chromium and chromium oxides (‘‘tinfree steel’’), whether or not painted,
varnished or coated with plastics or
other nonmetallic substances in
addition to the metallic coating. Also
