International Trade Administration January 20, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On November 1, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on granular polytetrafluoroethylene resin (``PTFE resin'') from Japan. See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 75 FR 67082 (November 1, 2010) (``Initiation Notice''). Because the domestic parties did not participate in this review, the Department is revoking this antidumping duty order.

On September 14, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register its preliminary results of the administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products (CORE) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) for the period of review (POR) January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008. See Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 55745 (September 14, 2010) (Preliminary Results). We rescinded the administrative review, in part, with respect to Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. (Dongbu) and Pohang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (POSCO) and preliminarily found that Hyundai HYSCO Ltd. (HYSCO) received de minimis countervailable subsidies during the POR. We did not receive any comments on our Preliminary Results, however, we have made revisions regarding two programs as discussed below.
