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
coated with plastics or other
nonmetallic substances, 4.75 mm or
more in thickness and of a width which
exceeds 150 mm and measures at least
twice the thickness. Included as subject
merchandise in the Agreement are flatrolled products of nonrectangular crosssection 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 bevelled or
rounded at the edges.

Agreement is grade X–70 plate.
Methodology and Preliminary Results
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(C)
of the Act, which specifies that
Commerce shall ‘‘review the current
status of, and compliance with, any
agreement by reason of which an
investigation was suspended.’’ In this
case, Commerce and Ukrainian
producers/exporters Azovstal, Ilyich,
and Alchevsk signed the Agreement on
September 29, 2008 under section
734(b) of the Act. Section 734(b)
provides that Commerce may suspend
an investigation if the exporters of the
subject merchandise who account for
substantially all of the imports of that
merchandise agree to revise their prices
to eliminate completely any amount by
which the normal value (NV) of the
merchandise which is the subject of the
agreement exceeds the export price (or
the constructed export price) of that
merchandise. In addition, section 734(d)
of the Act requires that Commerce be
satisfied that suspension of the
investigation is in the public interest
and that effective monitoring of the
agreement is practicable.
Under sections C and D of the
Agreement, a signatory producer/
exporter requesting NVs pursuant to the
Agreement agrees not to sell its subject
merchandise to any unaffiliated
purchaser in the United States at prices
that are less than the NV of the
merchandise, as determined by
Commerce based on the company’s
submitted sales and cost information.
Azovstal and Ilyich are the only
signatory producers/exporters that
requested, and for which Commerce
calculated, NVs during the POR.
Alchevsk made no such request for NVs
during the POR. Therefore, for purposes
of this administrative review, Commerce
determined to individually examine,
and issue a questionnaire to, Azovstal
and Ilyich. Commerce discusses
additional business proprietary details
regarding Alchevsk in a separate

proprietary memorandum.5 After
reviewing the information submitted in
its initial and supplemental
questionnaire responses, we
preliminarily find Azovstal and Ilyich,
collectively participating as Metinvest,
to be in compliance with the terms of
the Agreement during the POR. A
review of the information submitted
demonstrates that, pursuant to sections
D(1) and D(2) of the Agreement,
Metinvest reported to Commerce the
sales and data required by the
Agreement for calculation of the NVs.
Therefore, Commerce preliminary finds
Metinvest to be in compliance with the
monitoring sections D(1) and D(2) of the
Agreement and that the Agreement
continues to meet the statutory
requirement, pursuant to section
734(d)(2) of the Act of being able to be
effectively monitored.
Metinvest, in its initial questionnaire
response, describes how it ensures
compliance with the Agreement’s
pricing terms and the relevant NV
period in making sales directly to
unaffiliated U.S. customers and in
arranging shipment to the United
States.6 A review of the information in
the initial and supplemental
questionnaire responses finds no
evidence of non-compliance by
Metinvest with respect to ensuring that
subject merchandise is sold in the
United States at prices that are at or
above the applicable NV determined by
Commerce. Therefore, Commerce
preliminarily finds that the Agreement
is continuing to meet the statutory
requirements section of section 734(b) of
the Act.
With regard to the requirements of
734(d) of the Act, Commerce
preliminarily finds that the Agreement
continues to be in the public interest
and that effective monitoring of the
Agreement continues to be practicable.
As Commerce preliminarily finds no
evidence during the POR that Metinvest
made sales of subject merchandise
below the applicable NV, Commerce
preliminarily finds that the Agreement
continues to benefit U.S. producers by
ensuring that imports of the subject
merchandise are fairly traded and are
not, therefore, negatively impacting the
competitiveness of the domestic
industry. Moreover, as Commerce
preliminarily finds no evidence of non5 See Memorandum, ‘‘2018–2019 Administrative
Review of the Agreement Suspending the

Analysis Proprietary Memorandum,’’ dated

compliance by Metinvest with the
Agreement’s extensive information
reporting requirements, Commerce
preliminarily finds that effective
monitoring of the Agreement continues
to be practicable. In addition, in the
context of this administrative review, no
party has alleged that the Agreement is
no longer in the public interest or that
the Agreement can no longer be
effectively monitored. Accordingly, and
in light of our preliminary finding that
the respondents are in compliance with
the statutory requirements of the
Agreement, we preliminarily find that
the Agreement continues to meet the
criteria of sections 734(b) and (d) of the
Act.

Scope of Review
For purposes of this Agreement, the products covered are 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 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
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 coated
with plastics or other nonmetallic substances, 4.75 mm or more in
thickness and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and measures at least
twice the thickness. Included as subject merchandise in the Agreement
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 bevelled or rounded at the edges.
This merchandise is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS) under item numbers 7208.40.3030,
7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045, 7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000,

and 7212.50.0000. Although the HTS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of the Agreement is dispositive. Specifically excluded from subject
merchandise within the scope of the Agreement is grade X-70 plate.
Methodology and Preliminary Results
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(C) of the Act, which specifies that Commerce shall ``review
the current status of, and compliance with, any agreement by reason of
which an investigation was suspended.'' In this case, Commerce and
Ukrainian producers/exporters Azovstal, Ilyich, and Alchevsk signed the
Agreement on September 29, 2008 under section 734(b) of the Act.
Section 734(b) provides that Commerce may suspend an investigation if
the exporters of the subject merchandise who account for substantially
all of the imports of that merchandise agree to revise their prices to
eliminate completely any amount by which the normal value (NV) of the
merchandise which is the subject of the agreement exceeds the export
price (or the constructed export price) of that merchandise. In
addition, section 734(d) of the Act requires that Commerce be satisfied
that suspension of the investigation is in the public interest and that
effective monitoring of the agreement is practicable.
Under sections C and D of the Agreement, a signatory producer/
exporter requesting NVs pursuant to the Agreement agrees not to sell
its subject merchandise to any unaffiliated purchaser in the United
States at prices that are less than the NV of the merchandise, as
determined by Commerce based on the company's submitted sales and cost
information. Azovstal and Ilyich are the only signatory producers/
exporters that requested, and for which Commerce calculated, NVs during
the POR. Alchevsk made no such request for NVs during the POR.
Therefore, for purposes of this administrative review, Commerce
determined to individually examine, and issue a questionnaire to,
Azovstal and Ilyich. Commerce discusses additional business proprietary
details regarding Alchevsk in a separate
[[Page 15648]]
proprietary memorandum.\5\ After reviewing the information submitted in
its initial and supplemental questionnaire responses, we preliminarily
find Azovstal and Ilyich, collectively participating as Metinvest, to
be in compliance with the terms of the Agreement during the POR. A
review of the information submitted demonstrates that, pursuant to
sections D(1) and D(2) of the Agreement, Metinvest reported to Commerce
the sales and data required by the Agreement for calculation of the
NVs. Therefore, Commerce preliminary finds Metinvest to be in
compliance with the monitoring sections D(1) and D(2) of the Agreement
and that the Agreement continues to meet the statutory requirement,
pursuant to section 734(d)(2) of the Act of being able to be
effectively monitored.

Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Investigation of Certain Cut-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Metinvest, in its initial questionnaire response, describes how it
ensures compliance with the Agreement's pricing terms and the relevant
NV period in making sales directly to unaffiliated U.S. customers and
in arranging shipment to the United States.\6\ A review of the
information in the initial and supplemental questionnaire responses
finds no evidence of non-compliance by Metinvest with respect to
ensuring that subject merchandise is sold in the United States at
prices that are at or above the applicable NV determined by Commerce.
Therefore, Commerce preliminarily finds that the Agreement is
continuing to meet the statutory requirements section of section 734(b)
of the Act.

\6\ See Metinvest's Letter, ``Sections A, B, and C Initial
Questionnaire Response,'' dated March 5, 2020 at 19.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With regard to the requirements of 734(d) of the Act, Commerce
preliminarily finds that the Agreement continues to be in the public
interest and that effective monitoring of the Agreement continues to be
practicable. As Commerce preliminarily finds no evidence during the POR
that Metinvest made sales of subject merchandise below the applicable
NV, Commerce preliminarily finds that the Agreement continues to
benefit U.S. producers by ensuring that imports of the subject
merchandise are fairly traded and are not, therefore, negatively
impacting the competitiveness of the domestic industry. Moreover, as
Commerce preliminarily finds no evidence of non-compliance by Metinvest
with the Agreement's extensive information reporting requirements,
Commerce preliminarily finds that effective monitoring of the Agreement
continues to be practicable. In addition, in the context of this
administrative review, no party has alleged that the Agreement is no
longer in the public interest or that the Agreement can no longer be
effectively monitored. Accordingly, and in light of our preliminary
finding that the respondents are in compliance with the statutory
requirements of the Agreement, we preliminarily find that the Agreement
continues to meet the criteria of sections 734(b) and (d) of the Act.
