Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality
Steel Products From the Russian
Federation: Continuation of the
Antidumping Duty Order
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) order on hot-rolled flat-rolled
carbon-quality steel products (hot-rolled
steel) from the Russian Federation
(Russia) would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, Commerce is publishing
a notice of continuation of this AD
order.
DATES: Applicable December 9, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On July 19, 1999, Commerce
published the Suspension Agreement on
hot-rolled steel from Russia.1 On
December 24, 2014, Commerce
terminated the Suspension Agreement
and issued the Order.2 On September 1,
2021, Commerce initiated, and the ITC
instituted, the second five-year (sunset)
review of the Order,3 pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).4 As a result of its
review, pursuant to sections 751(c)(1)
and 752(c) of the Act, Commerce
determined that revocation of the Order
on hot-rolled steel from Russia would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping, and notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail should the orders be
revoked.5
On December 2, 2022, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act,
that revocation of the Order would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.6
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
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 subject to the scope of this
Order 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 microalloying levels of elements such as
silicon and aluminum. Steel products
subject to the scope of this Order,
regardless of definitions in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), 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.
All products that meet the physical and
chemical description provided above
are within the scope of this Order unless
otherwise excluded. The following
products, by way of example, are
outside and/or specifically excluded
from the scope of this Order:
• Alloy hot-rolled steel products in
which at least one of the chemical
elements exceeds those listed above
(including e.g., ASTM specifications
A543, A387, A514, A517, and A506).
• SAE/AISI grades of series 2300 and
higher.
• Ball bearing steels, as defined in the
HTSUS.
• Tool steels, as defined in the
HTSUS.
• Silico-manganese (as defined in the
HTSUS) or silicon electrical steel with
a silicon level exceeding 1.50 percent.
• ASTM specifications A710 and
A736.

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 subject to the scope of this Order 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 subject to the
scope of this Order, regardless of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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. All products that meet the physical and chemical
description provided above are within the scope of this Order unless
otherwise excluded. The following products, by way of example, are
outside and/or specifically excluded from the scope of this Order:
Alloy hot-rolled steel products in which at least one of
the chemical elements exceeds those listed above (including e.g., ASTM
specifications A543, A387, A514, A517, and A506).
SAE/AISI grades of series 2300 and higher.
Ball bearing steels, as defined in the HTSUS.
Tool steels, as defined in the HTSUS.
