Background
On February 19, 2019, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of
this review in the Federal Register 1 and
invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. On March 25, 2019,
we received case briefs from NLMK and
the Ministry of Economic Development
of the Russian Federation. On April 1,
2019, we received a rebuttal brief from
a petitioner (i.e., Nucor Corporation).
Further, on June 27, 2019, we held a
public hearing regarding issues raised in
case and rebuttal briefs.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this
administrative review is certain hotrolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel
products (hot-rolled steel) from Russia.
For the full text of the scope of the
order, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.2
Analysis of the Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs submitted in this review
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues raised
is attached as an appendix to this
notice. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and

Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

Bona Fides Analysis
For the Preliminary Results,
Commerce analyzed the bona fide
nature of NLMK’s single sale and
preliminarily found it was not a bona
fide sale.3 Based on Commerce’s
complete analysis of all the information
and comments on the record of this
review, Commerce continues to find
that NLMK’s sale is not a bona fide sale.
Commerce reached this conclusion
based on its consideration of the totality
of circumstances, including: (a) The
atypical nature of both the price and
quantity of the sale; (b) reason to
question the arm’s-length nature of the
transaction; and (c) the circumstances of
the sale/customer correspondence. In
addition to the above factors, which
Commerce determined are a sufficient
basis to find NLMK’s sale to be nonbona fide, it determined that additional
factors—i.e., the timing of the sale, late
payment by the customer, the sales
agent agreement, affiliation concerns,
and the fact that NLMK only made one
sale during the POR—constituted
additional support for its non-bona fide
finding.
Because we have determined that
NLMK had no bona fide sales during the
POR, we are rescinding this
administrative review.
Assessment
Because Commerce is rescinding this
administrative review, we have not
calculated a company-specific dumping
margin for NLMK. NLMK’s entries will
be liquidated at the all-others rate
applicable to Russian exporters who do
not have their own company-specific
rate. The all-others rate is 184.56
percent.4
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because we did not calculate a
dumping margin for NLMK, NLMK
continues to be subject to the all-others
rate at which its merchandise entered,
184.56 percent.5 These cash deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
