Laminated woven sacks are bags or
sacks consisting of one or more plies of
fabric consisting of woven
polypropylene strip and/or woven
polyethylene strip, regardless of the
width of the strip; with or without an
extrusion coating of polypropylene and/
or polyethylene on one or both sides of
the fabric; laminated by any method
either to an exterior ply of plastic film
such as biaxially-oriented
polypropylene (‘‘BOPP’’) or to an
exterior ply of paper that is suitable for
high quality print graphics.4 Effective
July 1, 2007, laminated woven sacks are
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 6305.33.0050
and 6305.33.0080. Laminated woven
sacks were previously classifiable under
HTSUS subheading 6305.33.0020.5 The

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:

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department preliminarily determined
that Baosteel did not have any
reviewable transactions of subject
merchandise during the POR because
there was no evidence on the record
indicating that Baosteel had entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.2
We stated, consistent with the
refinement to the Department’s
assessment practice in non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) cases, that we would
not to rescind the review in these
circumstances but, rather, would
complete the review with respect to
Baosteel and issue appropriate
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) based on the final
results of the review.3 As stated above,
we did not receive any comments on
our Preliminary Results. Therefore, we
continue to determine that Baosteel had
no reviewable transactions of subject
merchandise during the POR. Consistent
with our ‘‘automatic assessment’’
clarification, the Department will issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on our final results.4
Assessment
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. The Department announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in
NME cases.5 Pursuant to this refinement
in practice, for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the NME-wide
rate. In addition, if the Department
determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under that exporter’s case

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 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; (2)
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 (3) 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
exporters that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Notifications
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 POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to the administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
notification of the destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these
results and this notice in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the
Act.

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
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 which at least one of
the chemical elements exceeds those listed above (including, e.g.,
American Society for Testing and Materials (``ASTM'') specifications

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily determined
that Baosteel did not have any reviewable transactions of subject
merchandise during the POR because there was no evidence on the record
indicating that Baosteel had entries of subject merchandise during the
POR.\2\ We stated, consistent with the refinement to the Department's
assessment practice in non-market economy (``NME'') cases, that we
would not to rescind the review in these circumstances but, rather,
would complete the review with respect to Baosteel and issue
appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') based on the final results of the review.\3\ As stated above,
we did not receive any comments on our Preliminary Results. Therefore,
we continue to determine that Baosteel had no reviewable transactions
of subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with our ``automatic
assessment'' clarification, the Department will issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on our final results.\4\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (``Assessment
Practice Refinement''); see also the ``Assessment'' section of this
notice, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
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. The
Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in NME
cases.\5\ Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for entries that
were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the NME-wide rate. In addition, if the
Department determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of
the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that
exporter's case
[[Page 64475]]
number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the NME-
wide rate.

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 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; (2) 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 (3) 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 exporters that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notifications
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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: October 23, 2013.
