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 1,250 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 two
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

subject to the order is dispositive.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
As noted in the ‘‘Background’’ section
above, Baosteel has submitted a timelyfiled certification indicating that it had
no sales of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.4 In
addition, in response to our request for
information on entries of subject
merchandise during the POR, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
did not provide any evidence
contradicting Baosteel’s claim of no
sales. Further on June 5, 2013, the
Department released to interested
parties the results of the CBP used to
corroborate Baosteel’s no sales claim
which indicated that there were no
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR from any exporter, including
Baosteel.5 The Department received no
comments from any interested parties
concerning the results of the CBP query.
Based on the certification of Baosteel
and our analysis of CBP information, the
Department preliminarily determines
that Baosteel did not have any
reviewable transactions during the POR.
In addition, consistent with the
Department’s refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) cases, the
Department finds that it is appropriate
not to rescind the review in these
circumstances but rather, to complete
the review with respect to Baosteel and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP
based on the final results of the review.6

Requests should contain: (1) The party’s
name, address and telephone number;
(2) the number of participants; and (3)
a list of issues to be discussed. Issues
raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case
briefs.
The Department will issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs,
not later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of
review. Pursuant to the refinement to its
assessment practice in NME cases, if the
Department continues to determine that
an exporter under review had no
shipments of subject merchandise, any
suspended entries that entered under
that exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
PO 00000
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the
PRC-wide rate.11
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Baosteel,
which claimed no shipments, the cash
deposit rate will remain unchanged
from the rate assigned to the company
in the most recently completed review
of the company; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the PRCwide rate of 90.83 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
The Department is issuing and
publishing these results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.
Dated: July 8, 2013.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 1,250 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
two 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

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the ``Background'' section above, Baosteel has
submitted a timely-filed certification indicating that it had no sales
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.\4\ In
addition, in response to our request for information on entries of
subject merchandise during the POR, U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') did not provide any evidence contradicting Baosteel's claim
of no sales. Further on June 5, 2013, the Department released to
interested parties the results of the CBP used to corroborate
Baosteel's no sales claim which indicated that there were no entries of
subject merchandise during the POR from any exporter, including
Baosteel.\5\ The Department received no comments from any interested
parties concerning the results of the CBP query.

Based on the certification of Baosteel and our analysis of CBP
information, the Department preliminarily determines that Baosteel did
not have any reviewable transactions during the POR. In addition,
consistent with the Department's refinement to its assessment practice
in non-market economy (``NME'') cases, the Department finds that it is
appropriate not to rescind the review in these circumstances but
rather, to complete the review with respect to Baosteel and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the
review.\6\

Refinement'').

The Department will issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in
any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act'').
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final results of review. Pursuant
to the refinement to its assessment practice in NME cases, if the
Department continues to determine that an exporter under review had no
shipments of subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered
under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will
be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\11\

Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694-95.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Baosteel, which
claimed no shipments, the cash deposit rate will remain unchanged from
the rate assigned to the company in the most recently completed review
of the company; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and
non-PRC exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 90.83 percent;
and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC exporter.
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
The Department is issuing and publishing these results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 8, 2013.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
