Certain Cut-To-Length Carbon-Quality 

Steel Plate From India, Indonesia, and 

the Republic of Korea: Continuation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

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 and countervailing duty 

(CVD) orders on certain cut-to-length 

carbon-quality steel plate (CTL plate) 

from India, Indonesia, and the Republic 

of Korea (Korea) would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of these AD and 

CVD orders. 

DATES: Applicable August 28, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 10, 2000, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD and CVD orders on certain CTL 

plate from India, Indonesia, and Korea.1

On February 1, 2023, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the fourth sunset reviews of the Orders, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As 

a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

or countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies likely to 

prevail should the Orders be revoked.4

On August 28, 2023, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders 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 Orders 

The products covered by the Orders 

are certain hot-rolled carbon-quality 

steel: (1) universal mill plates (i.e., flatrolled 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 nominal or actual 

thickness of not less than 4 mm, which 

are cut-to-length (not in coils) and 

without patterns in relief), of iron or 

non-alloy-quality steel; and (2) flatrolled products, hot-rolled, of a nominal 

or actual thickness of 4.75 mm or more 

and of a width which exceeds 150 mm 

and measures at least twice the

(not in coils). 

Steel products to be included in the 

scope of the Orders are of rectangular, 

square, circular or other shape and of 

rectangular or non-rectangular crosssection where such non-rectangular 

cross-section is achieved subsequent to 

the rolling process (i.e., products which

the Act, Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S.
