On December 19, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published the preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review of certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from India. See Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From India: Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 77618 (December 19, 2008) (``Preliminary Results''). The review covers one respondent, Essar Steel Limited (``Essar''). The period of review (``POR'') is December 1, 2006, through November 30, 2007. We invited parties to comment on our Preliminary Results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes to the margin calculations. Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results. For the final dumping margins see the ``Final Results of Review'' section below.

In response to a request from Allied Tube & Conduit Corporation, a domestic interested party, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan. This review covers one firm, Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Hsing), for the period May 1, 2007, through April 30, 2008. No interested party commented on the Department's intent to rescind this review based upon its determination that the party subject to this review did not have entries of subject merchandise during the period of review (POR) on which to assess antidumping duties.
