Foreign-Trade Zone 93—RaleighDurham, North Carolina, Application
for Reorganization (Expansion of
Service Area) Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Triangle J Council of Governments,
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 93,
requesting authority to reorganize the
zone to expand its service area under
the alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec.
400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for
grantees for the establishment or
reorganization of zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new subzones or ‘‘usagedriven’’ FTZ sites for operators/users
located within a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’
in the context of the FTZ Board’s
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for
a zone. The application was submitted
pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u),
and the regulations of the FTZ Board (15
CFR part 400). It was formally docketed
on May 17, 2016.
FTZ 93 was approved by the FTZ
Board on November 4, 1983 (Board
Order 233, 48 FR 52108, November 16,
1983) and reorganized under the ASF on
November 30, 2012 (Board Order 1872,
77 FR 73978–73979, December 12,
2012), and the service area was
expanded on January 9, 2015 (Board
Order 1963, 80 FR 3551, January 23,
2015). The zone currently has a service
area that includes the Counties of
Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Granville,
Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Orange,
Person, Sampson, Vance, Wake and
Warren.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the service area of
the zone to include Wilson County, as
described in the application. If
approved, the grantee would be able to
serve sites throughout the expanded
service area based on companies’ needs
for FTZ designation. The application
indicates that the proposed expanded
service area is adjacent to the RaleighDurham Customs and Border Protection
port of entry.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 7, 2016, the Department
published its preliminary affirmative
determination of sales at LTFV and
preliminary affirmative determination of
critical circumstances, in part, in the
LTFV investigation of cold-rolled steel
from Japan.1 We invited interested
parties to comment on our preliminary
determination. We only received
comments regarding the scope of this
investigation. No interested party
requested a hearing.
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this
investigation are certain cold-rolled
(cold-reduced), flat-rolled steel
products, whether or not annealed,
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic
substances. For a full description of the
scope of this investigation, see the
‘‘Scope of the Investigation,’’ in
Appendix I.
Since the Preliminary Determination,
eight interested parties (i.e., JFE Steel
Corporation, Electrolux Home Products,
Inc., Electrolux Home Care Products,
Inc., ArcelorMittal USA LLC, AK Steel
Corporation, Nucor Corporation, Steel
Dynamics Inc., and United States Steel
Corporation) commented on the scope
of the investigation. The Department
reviewed these comments and has made
no changes to the scope of the
investigation. For further discussion, see
the ‘‘Final Scope Comments
Memorandum.’’ 2 The scope in
Appendix I reflects the final unmodified

Verification
None of the mandatory respondents in
the investigation provided information
requested by the Department. Hence, no
verification was conducted.
Analysis of Comments Received and
Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
We made no changes to the
Preliminary Determination because we
received no comments pertaining to the
Preliminary Determination.
Final Affirmative Determinations of
Critical Circumstances, in Part
In accordance with section 733(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, we
preliminarily found critical
circumstances exist with respect to both
of the mandatory respondents in the
investigation of cold-rolled steel from
Japan. With respect to the ‘‘All-Others’’
group, we preliminarily found that
critical circumstances did not exist.3
As stated above, the Department did
not receive any comments concerning
the preliminary determination. Thus, for
the final determination, we continue to
find that, in accordance with section
735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206,
critical circumstances exist with respect
to both mandatory respondents and that
critical circumstances do not exist for
the non-individually examined
companies receiving the ‘‘All-Others’’
rate in this investigation.
Use of Adverse Facts Available
As stated in the Preliminary
Determination, neither JFE nor NSSMC
responded to the Department’s
questionnaire.4 Accordingly, for the
final determination, pursuant to section
776(b) of the Act, we applied adverse
facts available to JFE and NSSMC.
Final Determination
sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
As stated above, we made no changes
to our preliminary affirmative LTFV
determination. Therefore, we continue
to determine that the following
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the following
producers or exporters for the period
July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

In addition, the Department continues
to determine that voluntary respondent
Hitachi Metals Limited had no sales of
subject merchandise during to POI to
examine.
All-Others Rate
We cannot apply the methodology
described in section 735(c)(5)(A) of the
Act to calculate the ‘‘All-Others’’ rate, as
all of the margins in the preliminary
determination were calculated under
section 776 of the Act.5 In cases where
no weighted-average dumping margins
besides zero, de minimis, or those
determined entirely under section 776
of the Act have been established for
individually estimated entities, in
accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of
the Act, the Department averages the
margins calculated by the Petitioners in
the Petition and applies the result to
‘‘All-Other’’ entities not individually
examined. In this case, however,
Petitioners calculated only one margin
in the Petition. Therefore, for the final
determination, we continue to assign as
the ‘‘All-Others’’ rate the only margin in
the Petition, which is 71.35 percent.6
Continuation and Partial Termination
of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, for the final
determination, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to continue to suspend liquidation of all
entries of cold-rolled steel from Japan,
as described in the scope of the
investigation, from the mandatory
respondents (i.e., JFE and NSSMC) that
are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
December 8, 2015, 90 days prior to the
date of publication of the Preliminary
Determination because we continue to
find that critical circumstances exist
with regard to imports exported by the
mandatory respondents. In accordance

Disclosure
We described the calculations used to
determine the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins based on
adverse facts available, in the
Preliminary Determination. We made no
changes to our calculations since the
Preliminary Determination. Thus, no
additional disclosure of calculations is
necessary for this final determination.
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the International
Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) of our final
affirmative determination of sales at
LTFV and final affirmative
determination of critical circumstances,
in part. Because the final determination
in the proceeding is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports of
cold-rolled steel from Japan no later
than 45 days after our final
determination. If the ITC determines
that such injury does not exist, this
proceeding will be terminated and all
securities posted will be refunded or
canceled. If the ITC determines that
such injury does exist, the Department
will issue an antidumping duty order
directing CBP to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties on appropriate
imports of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice will serve as a reminder
to the parties subject to administrative

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation
are certain cold-rolled (cold reduced), flatrolled steel products, whether or not
annealed, painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic substances.
The products covered do not include those
that are clad, plated, or coated with metal.
The products covered include coils that have
a width or other lateral measurement
(‘‘width’’) of 12.7 mm or greater, regardless
of form of coil (e.g., in successively
superimposed layers, spirally oscillating,
etc.). The products covered also include
products not in coils (e.g., in straight lengths)
of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and a width
that is 12.7 mm or greater and that measures
at least 10 times the thickness. The products
covered also include products not in coils
(e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness of 4.75
mm or more and a width exceeding 150 mm
and measuring at least twice the thickness.
The products described above may be
rectangular, square, circular, or other shape
and include products of either rectangular or
non-rectangular cross section where such
cross-section is achieved subsequent to the
rolling process, i.e., products which have
been ‘‘worked after rolling’’ (e.g., products
which have been beveled or rounded at the
edges). For purposes of the width and
thickness requirements referenced above:
(1) Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within the
scope if application of either the nominal or
actual measurement would place it within
the scope based on the definitions set forth
above, and
(2) where the width and thickness vary for
a specific product (e.g., the thickness of
certain products with non-rectangular crosssection, the width of certain products with
non-rectangular shape, etc.), the
measurement at its greatest width or
thickness applies.
Steel products included in the scope of
these investigations are products in which:
(1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each
of the other contained elements; (2) the
carbon content is 2 percent or less, by weight;
and (3) none of the elements listed below
exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively
indicated:
• 2.50 percent of manganese, or
• 3.30 percent of silicon, or
• 1.50 percent of copper, or
• 1.50 percent of aluminum, or
• 1.25 percent of chromium, or
• 0.30 percent of cobalt, or

• 0.40 percent of lead, or
• 2.00 percent of nickel, or
• 0.30 percent of tungsten (also called
wolfram), or
• 0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
• 0.10 percent of niobium (also called
columbium), or
• 0.30 percent of vanadium, or
• 0.30 percent of zirconium.
Unless specifically excluded, products are
included in this scope regardless of levels of
boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in this
scope are vacuum degassed, fully stabilized
(commonly referred to as interstitial-free
(‘‘IF’’)) steels, high strength low alloy
(‘‘HSLA’’) steels, motor lamination steels,
Advanced High Strength Steels (‘‘AHSS’’),
and Ultra High Strength Steels (‘‘UHSS’’). IF
steels are recognized as low carbon steels
with micro-alloying levels of elements such
as titanium and/or niobium added to
stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements.
HSLA steels are recognized as steels with
micro-alloying levels of elements such as
chromium, copper, niobium, titanium,
vanadium, and molybdenum. Motor
lamination steels contain micro-alloying
levels of elements such as silicon and
aluminum. AHSS and UHSS are considered
high tensile strength and high elongation
steels, although AI–ISS and UHSS are
covered whether or not they are high tensile
strength or high elongation steels.
Subject merchandise includes cold-rolled
steel that has been further processed in a
third country, including but not limited to
annealing, tempering, painting, varnishing,
trimming, cutting, punching, and/or slitting,
or any other processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of the investigation if performed in the
country of manufacture of the cold-rolled
steel.
All products that meet the written physical
description, and in which the chemistry
quantities do not exceed any one of the noted
element levels listed above, are within the
scope of this investigation unless specifically
excluded. The following products are outside
of and/or specifically excluded from the
scope of this investigation:
• Ball bearing steels;7
• Tool steels;8
7 Ball bearing steels are defined as steels which
contain, in addition to iron, each of the following
elements by weight in the amount specified: (i) Not
less than 0.95 nor more than 1.13 percent of carbon;
(ii) not less than 0.22 nor more than 0.48 percent
of manganese; (iii) none, or not more than 0.03
percent of sulfur; (iv) none, or not more than 0.03

Affirmative Determination of Critical
Circumstances, 79 FR 42,501, 42,503 (July 22, 2014)
(‘‘Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel From Germany,
Japan, and Poland’’). This determination defines
grain-oriented electrical steel as ‘‘a flat-rolled alloy
steel product containing by weight at least 0.6
percent but not more than 6 percent of silicon, not
more than 0.08 percent of carbon, not more than 1.0
percent of aluminum, and no other element in an

42 (December 3, 2014) (‘‘Non-Oriented Electrical
Steel From the People’s Republic of China,
Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden,
and Taiwan’’). The orders define NOES as ‘‘coldrolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel products, whether or
not in coils, regardless of width, having an actual
thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which the core
loss is substantially equal in any direction of
magnetization in the plane of the material. The term
‘substantially equal’ means that the cross grain
direction of core loss is no more than 1.5 times the
straight grain direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of
core loss. NOES has a magnetic permeability that
does not exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested at a field
of 800 A/m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e.,
parallel to) the rolling direction of the sheet (i.e.,
B800 value). NOES contains by weight more than
1.00 percent of silicon but less than 3.5 percent of
silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, and
not more than 1.5 percent of aluminum. NOES has
a surface oxide coating, to which an insulation
coating may be applied.’’

Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products From Japan: Final
Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final
Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') determines
that certain cold-rolled steel flat products (``cold-rolled steel'')
from Japan are being, or likely to be, sold in the United States at
less than fair value (``LTFV''), as provided in section 735 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). JFE Steel Corporation
(``JFE'') and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (``NSSMC'') are
the mandatory respondents in this investigation. The period of
investigation (``POI'') is July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. The
estimated weighted average dumping margins of sales at LTFV are shown
in the ``Final Determination'' section of this notice.
DATES: Effective Date: May 24, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 7, 2016, the Department published its preliminary
affirmative determination of sales at LTFV and preliminary affirmative
determination of critical circumstances, in part, in the LTFV
investigation of cold-rolled steel from Japan.\1\ We invited interested
parties to comment on our preliminary determination. We only received
comments regarding the scope of this investigation. No interested party
requested a hearing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products From Japan:
Affirmative Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value and Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical
Circumstances, 81 FR 11747 (March 7, 2016) (``Preliminary
Determination'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation are certain cold-rolled
(cold-reduced), flat-rolled steel products, whether or not annealed,
painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other non-metallic
substances. For a full description of the scope of this investigation,
see the ``Scope of the Investigation,'' in Appendix I.
Since the Preliminary Determination, eight interested parties
(i.e., JFE Steel Corporation, Electrolux Home Products, Inc.,
Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., ArcelorMittal USA LLC, AK Steel
Corporation, Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics Inc., and United States
Steel Corporation) commented on the scope of the investigation. The
Department reviewed these comments and has made no changes to the scope
of the investigation. For further discussion, see the ``Final Scope
Comments Memorandum.'' \2\ The scope in Appendix I reflects the final
unmodified
[[Page 32722]]
scope language as it appeared in the Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Memorandum to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations,
``Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products From Brazil, the People's
Republic of China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian
Federation, and the United Kingdom: Final Scope Comments Decision
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this final determination
(Final Scope Comments Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verification
None of the mandatory respondents in the investigation provided
information requested by the Department. Hence, no verification was
conducted.
Analysis of Comments Received and Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
We made no changes to the Preliminary Determination because we
received no comments pertaining to the Preliminary Determination.
Final Affirmative Determinations of Critical Circumstances, in Part
In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, we
preliminarily found critical circumstances exist with respect to both
of the mandatory respondents in the investigation of cold-rolled steel
from Japan. With respect to the ``All-Others'' group, we preliminarily
found that critical circumstances did not exist.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As stated above, the Department did not receive any comments
concerning the preliminary determination. Thus, for the final
determination, we continue to find that, in accordance with section
735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, critical circumstances exist
with respect to both mandatory respondents and that critical
circumstances do not exist for the non-individually examined companies
receiving the ``All-Others'' rate in this investigation.
Use of Adverse Facts Available
As stated in the Preliminary Determination, neither JFE nor NSSMC
responded to the Department's questionnaire.\4\ Accordingly, for the
final determination, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, we applied
adverse facts available to JFE and NSSMC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination
As stated above, we made no changes to our preliminary affirmative
LTFV determination. Therefore, we continue to determine that the
following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the
following producers or exporters for the period July 1, 2014 through
June 30, 2015.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exporter/Producer Weighted- average margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
JFE Steel Corporation..................... 71.35 percent.
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation. 71.35 percent.
All-Others................................ 71.35 percent.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, the Department continues to determine that voluntary
respondent Hitachi Metals Limited had no sales of subject merchandise
during to POI to examine.
All-Others Rate
We cannot apply the methodology described in section 735(c)(5)(A)
of the Act to calculate the ``All-Others'' rate, as all of the margins
in the preliminary determination were calculated under section 776 of
the Act.\5\ In cases where no weighted-average dumping margins besides
zero, de minimis, or those determined entirely under section 776 of the
Act have been established for individually estimated entities, in
accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department
averages the margins calculated by the Petitioners in the Petition and
applies the result to ``All-Other'' entities not individually examined.
In this case, however, Petitioners calculated only one margin in the
Petition. Therefore, for the final determination, we continue to assign
as the ``All-Others'' rate the only margin in the Petition, which is
71.35 percent.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation and Partial Termination of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, for the final
determination, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of cold-
rolled steel from Japan, as described in the scope of the
investigation, from the mandatory respondents (i.e., JFE and NSSMC)
that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after December 8, 2015, 90 days prior to the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination because we continue to find that critical
circumstances exist with regard to imports exported by the mandatory
respondents. In accordance with sections 733(d)(2) and 735(c)(1)(B) of
the Act, for the final determination, we will direct CBP to continue
the suspension of liquidation of all entries of cold-rolled steel from
Japan, as described in the ``Scope of the Investigation'' section, from
companies receiving the ``All-Others'' rate which were entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 7, 2016,
the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.
Disclosure
We described the calculations used to determine the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins based on adverse facts available, in
the Preliminary Determination. We made no changes to our calculations
since the Preliminary Determination. Thus, no additional disclosure of
calculations is necessary for this final determination.
International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the
International Trade Commission (``ITC'') of our final affirmative
determination of sales at LTFV and final affirmative determination of
critical circumstances, in part. Because the final determination in the
proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or
threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of cold-rolled
steel from Japan no later than 45 days after our final determination.
If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding
will be terminated and all securities posted will be refunded or
canceled. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, the
Department will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties
on appropriate imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the
suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice will serve as a reminder to the parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APOs in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written notification of
return or 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
[[Page 32723]]
sanctionable violation. We are issuing and publishing this
determination in accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c).
Dated: May 16, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation are certain cold-
rolled (cold reduced), flat-rolled steel products, whether or not
annealed, painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other non-
metallic substances. The products covered do not include those that
are clad, plated, or coated with metal. The products covered include
coils that have a width or other lateral measurement (``width'') of
12.7 mm or greater, regardless of form of coil (e.g., in
successively superimposed layers, spirally oscillating, etc.). The
products covered also include products not in coils (e.g., in
straight lengths) of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and a width that
is 12.7 mm or greater and that measures at least 10 times the
thickness. The products covered also include products not in coils
(e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more and a
width exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least twice the thickness.
The products described above may be rectangular, square, circular,
or other shape and include products of either rectangular or non-
rectangular cross section where such cross-section is achieved
subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., products which have been
``worked after rolling'' (e.g., products which have been beveled or
rounded at the edges). For purposes of the width and thickness
requirements referenced above:
(1) Where the nominal and actual measurements vary, a product is
within the scope if application of either the nominal or actual
measurement would place it within the scope based on the definitions
set forth above, and
(2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product
(e.g., the thickness of certain products with non-rectangular cross-
section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape,
etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies.
Steel products included in the scope of these investigations are
products in which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of
the other contained elements; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or
less, by weight; and (3) none of the elements listed below exceeds
the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated:
2.50 percent of manganese, or
3.30 percent of silicon, or
1.50 percent of copper, or
1.50 percent of aluminum, or
1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or
2.00 percent of nickel, or
0.30 percent of tungsten (also called wolfram), or
0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium (also called columbium), or
0.30 percent of vanadium, or
0.30 percent of zirconium.
Unless specifically excluded, products are included in this
scope regardless of levels of boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in this scope are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-
free (``IF'')) steels, high strength low alloy (``HSLA'') steels,
motor lamination steels, Advanced High Strength Steels (``AHSS''),
and Ultra High Strength Steels (``UHSS''). IF steels are recognized
as low carbon steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as
titanium and/or niobium added to stabilize carbon and nitrogen
elements. HSLA steels are recognized as steels with micro-alloying
levels of elements such as chromium, copper, niobium, titanium,
vanadium, and molybdenum. Motor lamination steels contain micro-
alloying levels of elements such as silicon and aluminum. AHSS and
UHSS are considered high tensile strength and high elongation
steels, although AI-ISS and UHSS are covered whether or not they are
high tensile strength or high elongation steels.
Subject merchandise includes cold-rolled steel that has been
further processed in a third country, including but not limited to
annealing, tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting,
punching, and/or slitting, or any other processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigation
if performed in the country of manufacture of the cold-rolled steel.
All products that meet the written physical description, and in
which the chemistry quantities do not exceed any one of the noted
element levels listed above, are within the scope of this
investigation unless specifically excluded. The following products
are outside of and/or specifically excluded from the scope of this
investigation:

\10\ See Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel From Germany, Japan,
and Poland: Final Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
and Certain Final Affirmative Determination of Critical
Circumstances, 79 FR 42,501, 42,503 (July 22, 2014) (``Grain-
Oriented Electrical Steel From Germany, Japan, and Poland''). This
determination defines grain-oriented electrical steel as ``a flat-
rolled alloy steel product containing by weight at least 0.6 percent
but not more than 6 percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent
of carbon, not more than 1.0 percent of aluminum, and no other
element in an amount that would give the steel the characteristics
of another alloy steel, in coils or in straight lengths.''

(December 3, 2014) (``Non-Oriented Electrical Steel From the
People's Republic of China, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea,
Sweden, and Taiwan''). The orders define NOES as ``cold-rolled,
flat-rolled, alloy steel products, whether or not in coils,
regardless of width, having an actual thickness of 0.20 mm or more,
in which the core loss is substantially equal in any direction of
magnetization in the plane of the material. The term `substantially
equal' means that the cross grain direction of core loss is no more
than 1.5 times the straight grain direction (i.e., the rolling
direction) of core loss. NOES has a magnetic permeability that does
not exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested at a field of 800 A/m (equivalent
to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e., parallel to) the rolling direction of
the sheet (i.e., B800 value). NOES contains by weight more than 1.00
percent of silicon but less than 3.5 percent of silicon, not more
than 0.08 percent of carbon, and not more than 1.5 percent of
