SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 20, 2002, the Department signed an agreement under 
section 734(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), with 
Russian steel producers/exporters, including Severstal, which suspended 
the antidumping duty investigation on certain cut-to-length carbon 
steel plate (CTL plate) from the Russian Federation. See Suspension of 
Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel 
Plate from the Russian Federation, 68 FR 3859 (January 27, 2003) 
(Agreement). On October 3, 2013, the Department published its 
preliminary results of the administrative review of the Agreement for 
certain CTL plate from the Russian Federation produced by Severstal, 
the producer determined to account for substantially all (not less than 
85 percent) of the subject merchandise imported into the United States 
during the January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 POR. See 
Preliminary Results. In its preliminary results, the Department 
determined that information submitted by Severstal indicated that, 
during the POR, Severstal adhered to the terms of the Agreement and 
that the Agreement is functioning as intended. We invited interested 
parties to comment on our preliminary results. No interested parties 
submitted comments.
