SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The SABIT Program of the
Department of Commerce’s International
Trade Administration (ITA), is a key
element in the U.S. Government’s efforts
to support the economic transition of
Eurasia (the former Soviet Union) and to
support economic growth in other
regions of the world, including
countries in Europe, South Asia, and the
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Middle East, et al. SABIT develops and
implements two-week training programs
in the United States for groups of up to
20 business and government
professionals from Eurasia and other
regions. These professionals meet with
U.S. government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and private
sector companies in order to learn about
various business practices and
principles. This unique private sectorU.S. Government partnership was
created in order to tap into the U.S.
private sector’s expertise and to assist
developing regions in their transition to
market-based economies while
simultaneously boosting trade between
the United States and other countries.
SABIT also develops and implements
virtual events for its alumni and other
participants that provide industryspecific training on best practices for
business and management and fosters
contacts with U.S. organizations.
Participant applications are needed to
enable SABIT to find the most qualified
participants for the training programs.
Participant pre-program surveys and
post- program surveys provide insight as
to what the participants have learned,
and they are used to improve the
content and administration of future
programs. Such monitoring and
evaluations is required by law (Foreign
Aid and Transparency and
Accountability Act of 2016). Alumni
success story reports/surveys track the
success of the program as regards to
business ties between the U.S. and the
countries SABIT covers. These alumni
surveys also serve to provide evaluation
information as required under the
Foreign Aid and Transparency and
Accountability Act of 2016).
The closing date for participant
applications is based upon the starting
date of the program and is published
with the application and on the
program’s website at www.trade.gov/
sabit-program. Pursuant to section
632(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, as amended, funding for the
programs will be provided through the
Agency for International Development
(AID).
The SABIT Program has revised the
collection instruments. The instruments
are very similar to those used by SABIT
in past years. However, some wording
has been changed to reflect the changing
needs of SABIT over time. The changes
are relatively minor and most of them
are rephrasing of wording. Instructions
for filling out the form, methods of
submission, and the order of questions
have been revised on the Participant
Application. These revisions are not
expected to increase the response time
to complete the instruments. SABIT

Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order

SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the U.S. Department
of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) order on clad steel plate from
Japan would likely lead to the
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 April 10, 2024.

sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). As a result of its
review, Commerce determined that
revocation of the Order would likely
lead to the continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and therefore, notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail should the
Order be revoked.4
On April 10, 2024, 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.5
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order is all clad 6
steel plate of a width of 600 millimeters
(mm) or more and a composite thickness
of 4.5 mm or more. Clad steel plate is
a rectangular finished steel mill product
consisting of a layer of cladding material
(usually stainless steel or nickel) which
is metallurgically bonded to a base or
backing of ferrous metal (usually carbon
or low alloy steel) where the latter
predominates by weight. Stainless clad
steel plate is manufactured to American
Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) specifications A263 (400 series
stainless types) and A264 (300 series
stainless types).
Stainless clad steel plate is
manufactured to American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM)
specifications A263 (400 series stainless
types) and A264 (300 series stainless
types). Nickel and nickel-base alloy clad
steel plate is manufactured to ASTM
specification A265. These specifications

Memorandum.
5 See Clad Steel Plate from Japan, 89 FR 25281
(April 10, 2024) (ITC Final Determination).
6 Cladding is the association of layers of metals
of different colors or natures by molecular
interpenetration of the surfaces in contact. This
limited diffusion is characteristic of clad products
and differentiates them from products metalized in
other manners (e.g., by normal electroplating). The
various cladding processes include pouring molten
cladding metal onto the basic metal followed by
rolling; simple hot-rolling of the cladding metal to
ensure efficient welding to the basic metal; any
other method of deposition of superimposing of the
cladding metal followed by any mechanical or
thermal process to ensure welding (e.g.,
electrocladding), in which the cladding metal
(nickel, chromium, etc.) is applied to the basic
metal by electroplating, molecular interpenetration
of the surfaces in contact then being obtained by
heat treatment at the appropriate temperature with
subsequent cold rolling. See Harmonized
