SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 24, 2014, the
Department published the antidumping
duty order on hot-rolled steel from
Russia.1 On May 2, 2016, the
Department initiated a sunset review of
the Russia Order pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).2
As a result of this sunset review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the Russia Order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the USITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail should the order be
revoked.3
On October 5, 2016, the USITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation
of the Russia Order would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United Sates within a reasonably
foreseeable time.4
Scope of the Order
For the purposes of this order, ‘‘hotrolled steel’’ means certain hot-rolled
flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products
of a rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5
inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor
coated with metal and whether or not
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic
substances, in coils (whether or not in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Management of and regulations for
Pacific halibut in Alaska are developed
on the international, Federal, and state
levels by the International Pacific
Halibut Commission (IPHC), the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
(Council), National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), Alaska Region and the
State of Alaska Department of Fish and
Game (ADF&G). The IPHC and NMFS
manage fishing for Pacific halibut
through regulations established under
authority of the Convention between the
United States Halibut Fishery of the
Northern Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea
(Convention), the Northern Pacific
Halibut Act of 1982, 16 U.S.C. 773c
(Halibut Act), and Section 303(b) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). Regulations that
implement this collection-ofinformation are found at 50 CFR part
300.60 through 300.66 and at 50 CFR
679.5(l)(7).
Annual catch quotas are determined
by the IPHC, and Federal responsibility
for halibut management extends to
halibut stocks and fishing activity
within State of Alaska waters. In order
to manage halibut effectively,
international and Federal managers
need information on halibut fishing
effort and harvest by all user groups,
including the guided sport charter
sector of the fishery.
Federal regulations at 50 CFR 300.65
require charter vessel operators fishing
in IPHC Areas 2C and 3A to comply
with the ADF&G annual registration of
sport fishing guides and businesses and
ADF&G saltwater charter halibut
logbook. NMFS and ADF&G coordinate
closely in the development of this
information collection for the
monitoring and enforcement of the
charter vessel catch limit of halibut.
A Catch Sharing Program was
developed in IPHC Regulatory Areas 2C
and 3A for the guided sport and
commercial fisheries which authorized
commercial halibut quota share (QS)
holders to transfer individual fishing
quota (IFQ) as guided angler fish (GAF)

Scope of the Order
For the purposes of this order, ``hot-rolled steel'' means certain
hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products of a rectangular
shape, of a width of 0.5 inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor
coated with metal and whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic substances, in coils (whether or not in
successively superimposed layers) regardless of thickness, and in
straight lengths, of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and of a width
measuring at least 10 times the thickness.
Universal mill plate (i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on four
faces or in a closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but not
exceeding 1250 mm and of a thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in
coils and without patterns in relief) of a thickness not less than 4.0
mm is not included within the scope of this order.
Specifically included in this scope 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 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.
Steel products to be included in the scope of this order,
regardless of Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
definitions, 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: 1.80 percent
of manganese, or 1.50 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 0.012 percent of boron, or 0.10 percent of
molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of niobium, or 0.41 percent of titanium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15 percent of zirconium.

Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by the Department and the USITC
that revocation of the Russia Order would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the
Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the Russia Order.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect cash
deposits of estimated antidumping duties at the rates in effect at the
time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective
date of the continuation of this order will be the effective date
listed
[[Page 72571]]
above. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department intends
to initiate the next sunset review of this order not later than 30 days
prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
This five-year (sunset) review and this notice are in accordance
with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
