Steel products included in the scope of this
order 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, or
• 0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
• 0.10 percent of niobium, 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,
the substrate for 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. The substrate for motor
lamination steels contains micro-alloying
levels of elements such as silicon and
aluminum. AHSS and UHSS are considered
high tensile strength and high elongation
steels, although AHSS and UHSS are covered
whether or not they are high tensile strength
or high elongation steels.
Subject merchandise includes hot-rolled
steel that has been further processed in a
third country, including but not limited to
pickling, oiling, levelling, annealing,
tempering, temper rolling, skin passing,
painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting,
punching, and/or slitting, or any other
processing that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of the orders
if performed in the country of manufacture
of the hot-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 these orders unless specifically
excluded. The following products are outside
of and/or specifically excluded from the
scope of this order:

Determinations’’ sections below for
further discussion.
On September 26, 2016, the ITC
notified the Department of its
affirmative determination that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of LTFV imports of hot-rolled
steel from Australia, Brazil, Japan,
Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the
United Kingdom and of its
determination that critical
circumstances do not exist with respect
to imports of hot-rolled steel from Brazil
and Japan.8
Scope of the Orders
The product covered by these orders
is hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil,
Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey,
and the United Kingdom. For a
complete description of the scope of
these orders, see Appendix I.
Amendment to Australia Final
Determination
As discussed above, the Department
reviewed the record and agrees that the
two errors referenced in Petitioners’
allegation constitute ministerial errors
within the meaning of section 735(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f).9
Specifically, the Department neglected
to fully adjust BlueScope Steel Ltd.’s
normal value for processing revenue
and freight revenue.10 Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.224(e), the Department is
amending the Australia Final to reflect
the correction of the ministerial errors
described above. Based on our
correction, BlueScope Steel Ltd.’s
weighted-average dumping margin
increased from 29.37 percent to 29.58
percent. Because the Australian ‘‘allothers’’ rate is based solely on
BlueScope Steel Ltd.’s dumping margin,
the corrections noted above also
increase the all-others rate determined
in the Australia Final to 29.58 percent.11
8 See Letter to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and
Compliance, from Irving Williamson, Chairman of
the U.S. International Trade Commission, regarding
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations
concerning imports of certain hot-rolled steel flat
products from Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the
Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom

Amendment to Korea Final
Determination
The Department reviewed the record
and agrees that the error referenced in
Petitioners’ allegation with respect to
POSCO constitutes a ministerial error
within the meaning of section 735(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), whereas
neither the errors alleged by Hyundai
Steel Company, nor the error alleged by
Petitioners with respect to Hyundai
Steel Company, are ministerial errors.12
Specifically, the programming code
used in POSCO’s final margin
calculation program did not correctly
implement certain revised indirect
selling expense figures.13 Additionally,
we find that the alleged errors regarding
our final Hyundai Steel Company
margin calculation are methodological,
rather than ministerial, in nature.14
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), the
Department is amending the Korea Final
to reflect the correction of the
ministerial error in POSCO’s final
margin calculation described above.
Based on our correction, POSCO’s
weighted-average dumping margin
increased from 3.89 percent to 4.61
percent. Because the Korean ‘‘allothers’’ rate is based in part on POSCO’s
dumping margin, the correction noted
above also increases the all-others rate
determined in the Korea Final to 6.05
percent.15
Amendment to Turkey Final
Determination
The Department reviewed the record
and agrees that the error referenced in
Colakoglu’s allegation and the errors
referenced in Petitioners’ allegation
constitute ministerial errors within the
meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.224(f).16 Specifically, the
Department utilized the incorrect
denominator in its calculation of
Colakoglu’s indirect selling expenses
ratio.17 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
the Department is amending the Turkey
Final to reflect the correction of the
ministerial error described above. Based

on our correction, Colakoglu’s weightedaverage dumping margin decreased from
7.15 percent to 6.77 percent.18 In
reference to the ministerial errors
alleged by Petitioners, the Department
inadvertently omitted direct credit
˘
expenses from the calculation of Eregli
Demir ve Celik Fabrikalari T.A.S. and its
¸
¸
Affiliates (collectively Erdemir)
comparison market gross unit price
adjustment.19 The Department also
erred in inputting raw data into the
comparison market program to account
for the control numbers that were sold
but not produced during the POI for
Erdemir.20 Finally, the Department
incorrectly applied the export subsidy
adjustment to the U.S. net price for
Erdemir.21 Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e), the Department is amending
the Turkey Final to reflect the correction
of the ministerial errors described
above. However, because the ITC found
imports subsidized by the government
of Turkey to be negligible,22 thereby
resulting in the termination of the
companion countervailing duty
investigation of hot-rolled steel from
Turkey,23 we are further amending the
Turkey Final to eliminate any
adjustment to cash deposit rates for
export subsidies.24 Based on our
corrections, Erdemir’s weighted-average
dumping margin increased from 3.66
percent to 4.15 percent.25 Because the
Turkish ‘‘all-others’’ rate is based on
Colakoglu’s and Erdemir’s dumping
margins, the corrections noted above
also increases the all-others rate
determined in the Turkey Final to 6.41
percent.26
Antidumping Duty Orders
In accordance with sections
735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the
ITC has notified the Department of its
final determinations that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
by reason of the LTFV imports of certain
hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil,
Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey,
and the United Kingdom.27 Therefore,
in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of
the Act, we are publishing these
antidumping duty orders. Because the
ITC determined that imports of hotrolled steel from Australia, Brazil,
Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey,
and the United Kingdom are materially

entries of such merchandise from these
countries, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the
Netherlands, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom
In accordance with section 736(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of hot-rolled steel from
Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the
Netherlands, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom. Antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of hotrolled steel products from Australia,
Brazil, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands,
Turkey, and the United Kingdom
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after March 22,
2016, the date of publication of the

CBP to continue to suspend liquidation
on all relevant entries of hot-rolled steel
from Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the
Netherlands, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom. These instructions
suspending liquidation will remain in
effect until further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits equal to the amounts as
indicated below. Accordingly, effective
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final affirmative injury determination,
CBP will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins listed below.29 The ‘‘all others’’
rate applies to all producers or exporters
not specifically listed, as appropriate.
For the purpose of determining cash
deposit rates, the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins for imports of
subject merchandise from Brazil and
Korea have been adjusted, as
appropriate, for export subsidies found
in the final determinations of the
companion countervailing duty
investigations of this merchandise
imported from Brazil and Korea.30 For
Turkey, as noted above, because of the
ITC’s finding of negligible subsidized
imports, we have not made any
adjustment to cash deposit rates for
export subsidies for imports of subject
merchandise from Turkey.31
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil,
Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey,
and the United Kingdom, the
Department extended the four-month
period to six months in each case.32 In
the underlying investigations, the
Department published the preliminary

determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice,33 we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of hot-rolled steel from
Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the
Netherlands, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption after
September 17, 2016, until and through
the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation will resume
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final determination in the Federal
Register.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC’s negative
critical circumstances determination on
imports of hot-rolled steel from Brazil
and Japan, we will instruct CBP to lift
suspension and to refund any cash
deposits made to secure the payment of
estimated antidumping duties with
respect to entries of hot-rolled steel from
Brazil and Japan entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after December 23, 2015 (i.e., 90 days
prior to the date of publication of the
preliminary determinations), but before
March 22, 2016 (i.e., the date of
publication of the preliminary
determinations).

Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are
certain hot-rolled, flat-rolled steel products,
with or without patterns in relief, and
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 thickness, and
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 of 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 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 achieve 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 unless the resulting measurement

(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 orders 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, or
• 0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
• 0.10 percent of niobium, or
• 0.30 percent of vanadium, or
• 0.30 percent of zirconium.
Unless specifically excluded, products are
included in these scopes regardless of levels
of boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in these
scopes are vacuum degassed, fully stabilized
(commonly referred to as interstitial-free (IF))
steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels,
the substrate for 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. The substrate for motor
lamination steels contains micro-alloying
levels of elements such as silicon and
aluminum. AHSS and UHSS are considered
high tensile strength and high elongation
steels, although AHSS and UHSS are covered
whether or not they are high tensile strength
or high elongation steels.
Subject merchandise includes hot-rolled
steel that has been further processed in a
third country, including but not limited to
pickling, oiling, levelling, annealing,
tempering, temper rolling, skin passing,
painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting,
punching, and/or slitting, or any other
processing that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of these
orders if performed in the country of
manufacture of the hot-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 these orders unless specifically
excluded. The following products are outside
of and/or specifically excluded from the

On August 15, 2016, Petitioners \2\ alleged that the Department
made ministerial errors in the Australia Final.\3\ A ministerial error
is defined as an error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional
error which the Secretary considers ministerial.\4\ On August 10, 2016,
Petitioners and Hyundai Steel Company alleged that the Department made
ministerial errors in the Korea Final. On August 15, 2016, POSCO
submitted rebuttal comments to Petitioners' allegation, and Petitioners
submitted rebuttal comments to Hyundai Steel Company's allegation.\5\
On August 11 and 12, 2016, mandatory respondent Colakoglu Metalurji
A.S. and its affiliates (collectively Colakoglu),\6\ and Petitioners
\7\ alleged that the Department made ministerial errors in the Turkey
Final. See ``Amendment to the Australia Final Determination,''
``Amendment to the Korea Final Determination,'' and ``Amendment to the
Turkey Final Determinations'' sections below for further discussion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) submitted

On September 26, 2016, the ITC notified the Department of its
affirmative determination that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act, by reason of LTFV imports of hot-rolled steel from Australia,
Brazil, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom
and of its determination that critical circumstances do not exist with
respect to imports of hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Letter to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, from Irving Williamson,
Chairman of the U.S. International Trade Commission, regarding
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations concerning
imports of certain hot-rolled steel flat products from Australia,
Brazil, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-545-547 and 731-TA-1291-1297
(September 26, 2016) (ITC Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The product covered by these orders is hot-rolled steel from
Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the
United Kingdom. For a complete description of the scope of these
orders, see Appendix I.
Amendment to Australia Final Determination
As discussed above, the Department reviewed the record and agrees
that the two errors referenced in Petitioners' allegation constitute
ministerial errors within the meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.224(f).\9\ Specifically, the Department neglected to fully
adjust BlueScope Steel Ltd.'s normal value for processing revenue and
freight revenue.\10\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), the Department is
amending the Australia Final to reflect the correction of the
ministerial errors described above. Based on our correction, BlueScope
Steel Ltd.'s weighted-average dumping margin increased from 29.37
percent to 29.58 percent. Because the Australian ``all-others'' rate is
based solely on BlueScope Steel Ltd.'s dumping margin, the corrections
noted above also increase the all-others rate determined in the
Australia Final to 29.58 percent.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Memorandum to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations
regarding, ``Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Hot-Rolled
Steel Flat Products from Australia: Allegation of Ministerial Errors
in the Final Determination,'' (September 16, 2016).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amendment to Korea Final Determination
The Department reviewed the record and agrees that the error
referenced in Petitioners' allegation with respect to POSCO constitutes
a ministerial error within the meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.224(f), whereas neither the errors alleged by Hyundai Steel
Company, nor the error alleged by Petitioners with respect to Hyundai
Steel Company, are ministerial errors.\12\ Specifically, the
programming code used in POSCO's final margin calculation program did
not correctly implement certain revised indirect selling expense
figures.\13\ Additionally, we find that the alleged errors regarding
our final Hyundai Steel Company margin calculation are methodological,
rather than ministerial, in nature.\14\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
the Department is amending the Korea Final to reflect the correction of
the ministerial error in POSCO's final margin calculation described
above. Based on our correction, POSCO's weighted-average dumping margin
increased from 3.89 percent to 4.61 percent. Because the Korean ``all-
others'' rate is based in part on POSCO's dumping margin, the
correction noted above also increases the all-others rate determined in
the Korea Final to 6.05 percent.\15\

Amendment to Turkey Final Determination
The Department reviewed the record and agrees that the error
referenced in Colakoglu's allegation and the errors referenced in
Petitioners' allegation constitute ministerial errors within the
meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f).\16\
Specifically, the Department utilized the incorrect denominator in its
calculation of Colakoglu's indirect selling expenses ratio.\17\
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), the Department is amending the Turkey
Final to reflect the correction of the ministerial error described
above. Based
[[Page 67964]]
on our correction, Colakoglu's weighted-average dumping margin
decreased from 7.15 percent to 6.77 percent.\18\ In reference to the
ministerial errors alleged by Petitioners, the Department inadvertently
omitted direct credit expenses from the calculation of Ere[gbreve]li
Demir ve [Ccedil]elik Fabrikalari T.A.[Scedil]. and its Affiliates
(collectively Erdemir) comparison market gross unit price
adjustment.\19\ The Department also erred in inputting raw data into
the comparison market program to account for the control numbers that
were sold but not produced during the POI for Erdemir.\20\ Finally, the
Department incorrectly applied the export subsidy adjustment to the
U.S. net price for Erdemir.\21\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), the
Department is amending the Turkey Final to reflect the correction of
the ministerial errors described above. However, because the ITC found
imports subsidized by the government of Turkey to be negligible,\22\
thereby resulting in the termination of the companion countervailing
duty investigation of hot-rolled steel from Turkey,\23\ we are further
amending the Turkey Final to eliminate any adjustment to cash deposit
rates for export subsidies.\24\ Based on our corrections, Erdemir's
weighted-average dumping margin increased from 3.66 percent to 4.15
percent.\25\ Because the Turkish ``all-others'' rate is based on
Colakoglu's and Erdemir's dumping margins, the corrections noted above
also increases the all-others rate determined in the Turkey Final to
6.41 percent.\26\

Antidumping Duty Orders
In accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act,
the ITC has notified the Department of its final determinations that an
industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of the
LTFV imports of certain hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil, Japan,
Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.\27\ Therefore,
in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are publishing
these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports
of hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the
Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from these
countries, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are
subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ See ITC Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the
United Kingdom
In accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department
will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon
further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the
amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export
price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil, Japan,
Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of hot-rolled steel
products from Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey,
and the United Kingdom entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after March 22, 2016, the date of publication of the
preliminary determination, \28\ but will not include entries occurring
after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before
publication of the ITC's final injury determination as further
described below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries
of hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the
Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. These instructions
suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the
amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP
will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins listed below.\29\ The
``all others'' rate applies to all producers or exporters not
specifically listed, as appropriate. For the purpose of determining
cash deposit rates, the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for
imports of subject merchandise from Brazil and Korea have been
adjusted, as appropriate, for export subsidies found in the final
determinations of the companion countervailing duty investigations of
this merchandise imported from Brazil and Korea.\30\ For Turkey, as
noted above, because of the ITC's finding of negligible subsidized
imports, we have not made any adjustment to cash deposit rates for
export subsidies for imports of subject merchandise from Turkey.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\29\ See section 736(a)(3) of the Act.
\30\ See Brazil Final and Korea Final.
\31\ See ITC Letter; see also Turkey Ministerial Error
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant
proportion of hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea,
the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, the Department
extended the four-month period to six months in each case.\32\ In the
underlying investigations, the Department published the preliminary
determinations on March 22, 2016. Therefore, the extended period,
beginning on the date of publication of the preliminary determination,
ended on September 17, 2016. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act
states that
[[Page 67965]]
definitive duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's
final injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\32\ See Australia Prelim, Brazil Prelim, Japan Prelim, Korea
Prelim, Netherlands Prelim, Turkey Prelim, and United Kingdom
Prelim.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice,\33\ we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of hot-rolled steel from Australia, Brazil, Japan,
Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after September 17, 2016,
until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the
ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final
determination in the Federal Register.

2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances
determination on imports of hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan, we
will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits
made to secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect
to entries of hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after December 23, 2015
(i.e., 90 days prior to the date of publication of the preliminary
determinations), but before March 22, 2016 (i.e., the date of
publication of the preliminary determinations).

Appendix I
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are certain hot-rolled,
flat-rolled steel products, with or without patterns in relief, and
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
thickness, and 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 of 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 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 achieve
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 unless the resulting measurement makes the product
covered by the existing antidumping \36\ or countervailing duty \37\
orders on Certain Cut-To-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products
From the Republic of Korea (A-580-836; C-580-837), and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\36\ Notice of Amendment of Final Determinations of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain Cut-To-
Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products From France, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Japan and the Republic of Korea, 65 FR 6585
(February 10, 2000).
\37\ Notice of Amended Final Determinations: Certain Cut-to-
Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From India and the Republic of
Korea; and Notice of Countervailing Duty Orders: Certain Cut-To-
Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate From France, India, Indonesia,
Italy, and the Republic of Korea, 65 FR 6587 (February 10, 2000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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 orders 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, or
0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.30 percent of vanadium, or
0.30 percent of zirconium.
Unless specifically excluded, products are included in these
scopes regardless of levels of boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in these scopes are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-
free (IF)) steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, the
substrate for 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. The substrate for motor
lamination steels contains micro-alloying levels of elements such as
silicon and aluminum. AHSS and UHSS are considered high tensile
strength and high elongation steels, although AHSS and UHSS are
covered whether or not they are high tensile strength or high
elongation steels.
Subject merchandise includes hot-rolled steel that has been
further processed in a third country, including but not limited to
pickling, oiling, levelling, annealing, tempering, temper rolling,
skin passing, painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting, punching,
and/or slitting, or any other processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope of these orders if performed
in the country of manufacture of the hot-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 these orders
unless specifically excluded. The following products are outside of
and/or specifically excluded from the scope of these orders:
Universal mill plates (i.e., hot-rolled, flat-rolled
products not in coils that have been rolled on four faces or in a
closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 1250
mm, of a thickness not less than 4.0 mm, and without patterns in
relief);
Products that have been cold-rolled (cold-reduced) after
hot-rolling; \38\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\38\ For purposes of this scope exclusion, rolling operations
such as a skin pass, levelling, temper rolling or other minor
rolling operations after the hot-rolling process for purposes of
surface finish, flatness, shape control, or gauge control do not
constitute cold-rolling sufficient to meet this exclusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ball bearing steels; \39\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\39\ 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 percent of phosphorus; (v) not less than
0.18 nor more than 0.37 percent of silicon; (vi) not less than 1.25
nor more than 1.65 percent of chromium; (vii) none, or not more than
