SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 1, 2010, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat 

products from India. See Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation; 

Opportunity To Request Administrative 

Review, 75 FR 74682 (December 1, 

2010). On January 3, 2011, we received 

from United States Steel Corporation, a 

domestic producer of subject 

merchandise, a request that the 

Department conduct an administrative 

review of Ispat Industries Limited 

(Ispat), for the review period January 1, 

2010, through December 31, 2010. 

On January 28, 2011, the Department 

published the notice of initiation of the 

administrative review of the CVD order 

covering Ispat for the period January 1, 

2010, through December 31, 2010. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 76 FR 5137 (January 28, 2011). 

On February 4, 2011, Ispat notified the 

Department that it had no shipments of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the period of review 

(POR).1

Scope of the Order 

The products covered under this 

order are certain hot-rolled flat-rolled 

carbon steel flat 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 of 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 included within 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 or niobium 

(also commonly referred to as 

columbium), or both, added to stabilize 

carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA 

steels are recognized as steels with 

micro-alloying levels of elements such 

as chromium, copper, niobium, 

vanadium, and molybdenum. The 

substrate for motor lamination steels 

contains micro-alloying levels of 

elements such as silicon and aluminum. 

Steel products to be included in the 

scope of this order, regardless of 

definitions in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 

are products in which: (i) Iron 

predominates, by weight, over each of 

the other contained elements; (ii) the 

carbon content is 2 percent or less, by 

weight; and (iii) none of the elements 

listed below exceeds the quantity, by 

weight, respectively indicated: 

1.80 percent of manganese, or 

2.25 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 

0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 

0.10 percent of niobium, 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 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, A506). 

• SAE/AISI grades of series 2300 and 

higher. 

• Ball bearings steels, as defined in 

the HTUS. 

• Tool steels, as defined in the HTUS. 

• Silico-manganese (as defined in the 

HTUS) or silicon electrical steel with a 

silicon level exceeding 2.25 percent. 

• ASTM specifications A710 and 

A736. 

• USS Abrasion-resistant steels (USS 

AR 400, USS AR 500). 

• All products (proprietary or 

otherwise) based on an alloy ASTM 

specification (sample specifications: 

ASTM A506, A507). 

• Non-rectangular shapes, not in 

coils, which are the result of having 

been processed by cutting or stamping 

and which have assumed the character 

of articles or products classified outside 

chapter 72 of the HTUS.

Intent To Rescind the 2010 

Administrative Review 

Ispat submitted a letter to the 

Department on February 4, 2011, 

certifying that it had no shipments of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. The petitioner 

did not comment on Ispat’s claim of no 

shipments. 

On February 7, 2011, we conducted 

an internal customs data query.2 We 

also issued a ‘‘no shipments inquiry’’ 

message to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP), which posted the 

message on February 16, 2011.3 The 

customs data query indicates that Ispat 

had no entries of subject merchandise to 

the United States during the POR. We 

did not receive any information from 

CBP contrary to Ispat’s claim of no 

shipments of subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. 

Based on our analysis of the shipment 

data, we preliminarily determine that 

Ispat did not ship subject merchandise 

to the United States during the POR. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our 

practice,4 we preliminarily determine to 

rescind the review for Ispat. Since Ispat 

was the only producer/exporter for 

which a review was requested and 

initiated, we also preliminarily 

determine to rescind the administrative 

review of the CVD order covering the 

period January 1, 2010, through 

December 31, 2010. 

Public Comment 

The Department is setting aside a 

period for interested parties to raise 

issues regarding the preliminary 

determination to rescind the 

administrative review for Ispat. The 

Department encourages all interested 

parties to submit such comments within 

20 calendar days of the publication of 

this notice. Comments should be 

addressed to Import Administration’s 

APO/Dockets Unit, Room 1870, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. The period for 

public comment is intended to provide 

the Department with ample opportunity 

to consider all issues prior to the 

issuance of the notice to rescind the 

administrative review. 

We are issuing this notice in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) of 

the Department’s regulations.
