1On May 11, 2007, the Department received a 

scope inquiry request from U&A Belgium regarding 

whether the scope of the orders on SSPC from 

Belgium excludes stainless steel products with an 

actual thickness less than 4.75mm, regardless of its 

nominal thickness. The Department conducted a 

scope inquiry applicable to all countries subject to 

the SSPC antidumping and CVD orders. In the 

Department’s scope ruling, dated December 3, 2008, 

the Department determined that SSPC with a 

nominal thickness of 4.75mm, but with an actual 

thickness less than 4.75mm, and within the 

dimensional tolerances for this thickness of plate, 

is included in the scope of the antidumping duty 

orders on SSPC from Belgium, Italy, South Africa, 

the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan and CVD orders 

on SSPC from Belgium and South Africa. See 

Memorandum from Melissa G. Skinner to Stephen 

J. Claeys, entitled ‘‘Stainless Steel Plate in Coils 

from Belgium: Final Scope Ruling,’’ dated December 

3, 2008.

Stainless Steel Plate in Coils From 

Belgium: Preliminary Results of Full 

Sunset Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On June 2, 2010, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) initiated the second 

sunset review of the countervailing duty 

(‘‘CVD’’) order on certain stainless steel 

plate in coils from Belgium (‘‘subject 

merchandise’’) pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’). On the basis of a 

notice of intent to participate and an 

adequate substantive response filed on 

behalf of the domestic interested parties 

and adequate substantive responses 

from ArcelorMittal Stainless Belgium 

N.V. (‘‘AMS’’) and the Government of 

Belgium (‘‘GOB’’), the Department 

determined to conduct a full sunset 

review of the CVD order pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(2). As a result of our 

analysis, the Department preliminarily 

finds that revocation of the CVD order 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 27, 

2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 2, 2010, the Department 

initiated the second sunset review of the 

CVD order on stainless steel plate in 

coils (‘‘SSPC’’) from Belgium in 

accordance with section 751(c) of the 

Act. See Initiation of Five-Year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 75 FR 30777 (June 2, 

2010). 

Within the deadline specified in 19 

CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i), the Department 

received notices of intent to participate 

on behalf of Allegheny Ludlum 

Corporation and the United Steel, Paper 

and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, 

Energy, Allied Industrial and Service 

Workers International Union 

(collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’). The 

submitters claimed interested party 

status under sections 771(9)(C) and (D) 

of the Act, as a manufacturer of a 

domestic like product and as a certified 

union representing workers in the 

domestic industry producing certain 

SSPC, respectively. The Department 

received a substantive response from 

Petitioners within the deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 

The Department also received 

substantive responses in a timely 

manner from the following respondent 

interested parties: AMS and the GOB 

(collectively, ‘‘Respondents’’). Timely 

rebuttal comments were received from 

Petitioners and Respondents on July 9, 

2010. On July 22, 2010, after analyzing 

the submissions and rebuttals from 

interested parties and finding the 

substantive responses adequate, the 

Department determined to conduct a 

full sunset review. See Memorandum 

from Yasmin Nair, International Trade 

Compliance Analyst, to Susan H. 

Kuhbach, Director, AD/CVD Operations, 

Office 1, entitled ‘‘Adequacy 

Determination in Countervailing Duty 

Sunset Review of Certain Stainless Steel 

Plate in Coils from Belgium,’’ dated July 

22, 2010. 

On September 24, 2010, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register an extension of the time limit 

for the completion of the preliminary 

results of this sunset review until no 

later than December 20, 2010, as 

permitted by section 751(c)(5)(B) of the 

Act. See Stainless Steel Plate in Coils 

from Belgium: Extension of Time Limits 

for Preliminary and Final Results of Full 

Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of 

Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 58351 

(September 24, 2010). 

On November 23, 2010, the GOB, at 

the request of the Department, placed on 

the record a verification report from the 

CVD investigation of SSPC from 

Belgium, which the GOB cited in its 

substantive response. See GOB’s 

November 23, 2010, submission. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

imports of certain stainless steel plate in 

coils. Stainless steel is an alloy steel 

containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or 

less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more

elements. The subject plate products are 

flat-rolled products, 254 mm or over in
