Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate
from the PRC. Included in this
description is hot-rolled iron and nonalloy steel universal mill plates (i.e.,
flat-rolled products rolled on four faces
or in a closed box pass, of a width
exceeding 150 millimeters (‘‘mm’’) but
not exceeding 1250 mm and of a
thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in
coils and without patterns of relief), of
rectangular shape, neither clad, plated
nor coated with metal, whether or not
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other nonmetallic substances;
and certain iron and non-alloy steel flatrolled products not in coils, of
rectangular shape, hot-rolled, neither
clad, plated nor coated with metal,
whether or not painted, varnished, or
covered with plastics or other
nonmetallic substances, 4.75 mm or
more in thickness and of a width which
exceeds 150mm and measures at least
twice the thickness. Included as subject
merchandise in this order 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. This merchandise is currently
classified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) under item numbers
7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060,
7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045,

7210.70.3000, 7212.40.5000, and
7212.50.0000. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive. Specifically
excluded from subject merchandise
within the scope of the order is grade X–
70 steel plate.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that Hunan Valin did not
have any reviewable transactions during
the POR because Hunan Valin
submitted a timely-filed certification
that it had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR and U.S.
import data did not show any POR
entries of Hunan Valin’s subject
merchandise.2 We did not receive
information from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) indicating
that there were reviewable transactions
for Hunan Valin during the POR.
Consistent with the Department’s
assessment practice in non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) cases, we stated in
the Preliminary Results that the
Department would not rescind the
review in these circumstances but,
rather, would complete the review with
respect to Hunan Valin and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of the review.3 As
stated above, we did not receive any
comments on our Preliminary Results.
In these final results, we continue to
determine that Hunan Valin had no
reviewable transactions of subject
merchandise during the POR.
Treatment of Zhengzhou Shangdao
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that because Zhengzhou
Shangdao did not respond to the
questionnaire and did not provide
separate rate information, it did not
establish its eligibility for separate rate
status and is part of the PRC-wide
entity.4 The Department then
preliminarily determined that it had to
rely on facts otherwise available to
assign a dumping margin to the PRCwide entity in accordance with sections
776(a)(1), 776(a)(2)(A), and 776(a)(2)(C)
of the Act, because necessary
information was not on the record, the
PRC-wide entity (Zhengzhou Shangdao)

Decision Memorandum, at 3.

had withheld information that was
requested of it, and, by not providing
requested information, the entity had
significantly impeded the proceeding.
We further preliminarily found that
Zhengzhou Shangdao’s failure to
provide the requested information
constituted circumstances under which
the company and, hence, the PRC-wide
entity, had not acted to the best of its
ability to comply with the Department’s
request for information. We therefore
preliminarily determined, pursuant to
section 776(b) of the Act, that the PRCwide entity failed to cooperate by not
acting to the best of its ability and that,
accordingly, when selecting from among
the facts otherwise available, an adverse
inference was warranted with respect to
the PRC-wide entity.
Therefore, for these final results, the
Department finds that Zhengzhou
Shangdao is part of the PRC-wide entity
and that the use of adverse facts
available is warranted with respect to
the PRC-wide entity.
Final Results of Review
The Department determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period November
1, 2012, through October 31, 2013:
Exporter
PRC-wide entity 5 ..................
Weightedaverage
dumping
margin
(percent)
128.59
Assessment
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this
review.6 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of
these final results of review. The
Department intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of subject merchandise
from Zhengzhou Shangdao at the PRCwide rate of 128.59 percent.
Additionally, consistent with the
Department’s assessment practice
refinement in NME cases, because the
Department determined that Hunan
Valin had no reviewable transactions of
subject merchandise during the POR,
any suspended entries that entered
under Hunan Valin’s antidumping duty
case number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate)
will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.7
5 The PRC-wide entity includes Zhengzhou
Shangdao Iron & Steel Co.

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 Hunan
Valin, which claimed no shipments, the
cash deposit rate will remain unchanged
from the rate assigned to this company
in the most recently completed review
of the company; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters which are not under
review in this segment of the proceeding
but which 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 that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, including Zhengzhou
Shangdao, the cash deposit rate will be
the PRC-wide rate of 128.59 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 nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 21, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary
Results. We invited interested parties to submit comments on the
Preliminary Results, but no comments were received.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is certain cut-to-length carbon
steel plate from the PRC. Included in this description is hot-rolled
iron and non-alloy steel universal mill plates (i.e., flat-rolled
products rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width
exceeding 150 millimeters (``mm'') but not exceeding 1250 mm and of a
thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in coils and without patterns of
relief), of rectangular shape, neither clad, plated nor coated with
metal, whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or
other nonmetallic substances; and certain iron and non-alloy steel
flat-rolled products not in coils, of rectangular shape, hot-rolled,
neither clad, plated nor coated with metal, whether or not painted,
varnished, or covered with plastics or other nonmetallic substances,
4.75 mm or more in thickness and of a width which exceeds 150mm and
measures at least twice the thickness. Included as subject merchandise
in this order 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. This
merchandise is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (``HTSUS'') under item numbers 7208.40.3030,
7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045, 7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000,
7208.53.0000, 7208.90.0000, 7210.70.3000, 7212.40.5000, and
7212.50.0000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of the order is dispositive. Specifically excluded from subject
merchandise within the scope of the order is grade X-70 steel plate.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that Hunan Valin did not
have any reviewable transactions during the POR because Hunan Valin
submitted a timely-filed certification that it had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR and U.S. import data did not show
any POR entries of Hunan Valin's subject merchandise.\2\ We did not
receive information from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'')
indicating that there were reviewable transactions for Hunan Valin
during the POR. Consistent with the Department's assessment practice in
non-market economy (``NME'') cases, we stated in the Preliminary
Results that the Department would not rescind the review in these
circumstances but, rather, would complete the review with respect to
Hunan Valin and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the
final results of the review.\3\ As stated above, we did not receive any
comments on our Preliminary Results. In these final results, we
continue to determine that Hunan Valin had no reviewable transactions
of subject merchandise during the POR.

Treatment of Zhengzhou Shangdao
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that because Zhengzhou
Shangdao did not respond to the questionnaire and did not provide
separate rate information, it did not establish its eligibility for
separate rate status and is part of the PRC-wide entity.\4\ The
Department then preliminarily determined that it had to rely on facts
otherwise available to assign a dumping margin to the PRC-wide entity
in accordance with sections 776(a)(1), 776(a)(2)(A), and 776(a)(2)(C)
of the Act, because necessary information was not on the record, the
PRC-wide entity (Zhengzhou Shangdao) had withheld information that was
requested of it, and, by not providing requested information, the
entity had significantly impeded the proceeding. We further
preliminarily found that Zhengzhou Shangdao's failure to provide the
requested information constituted circumstances under which the company
and, hence, the PRC-wide entity, had not acted to the best of its
ability to comply with the Department's request for information. We
therefore preliminarily determined, pursuant to section 776(b) of the
Act, that the PRC-wide entity failed to cooperate by not acting to the
best of its ability and that, accordingly, when selecting from among
the facts otherwise available, an adverse inference was warranted with
respect to the PRC-wide entity.

Memorandum, at 3-4.

Therefore, for these final results, the Department finds that
Zhengzhou Shangdao is part of the PRC-wide entity and that the use of
adverse facts available is warranted with respect to the PRC-wide
entity.
Final Results of Review
The Department determines that the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period November 1, 2012, through October
31, 2013:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The PRC-wide entity includes Zhengzhou Shangdao Iron & Steel
Co.

Assessment
The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\6\ The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review. The
Department intends to instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject
merchandise from Zhengzhou Shangdao at the PRC-wide rate of 128.59
percent. Additionally, consistent with the Department's assessment
practice refinement in NME cases, because the Department determined
that Hunan Valin had no reviewable transactions of subject merchandise
during the POR, any suspended entries that entered under Hunan Valin's
antidumping duty case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\7\

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 Hunan Valin, which
claimed no shipments, the cash deposit rate will remain unchanged from
the rate assigned to this company in the most recently completed review
of the company; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and
non-PRC exporters which are not under review in this segment of the
proceeding but which 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 that have not
been found to be entitled to a separate rate, including Zhengzhou
Shangdao, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 128.59
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 Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
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: March 9, 2015.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
