Initiation of Changed–Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR § 351.216 (2005), the 

Department will conduct a changed–

circumstances review upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from an interested party for a review of, 

an antidumping duty order which 

shows changed circumstances sufficient 

to warrant a review of the order. SNFA 

and SKF France claim that they have 

satisfied the criteria to warrant such a 

review. See 19 CFR § 351.216(d). We 

agree that the information submitted by 

SNFA and SKF France demonstrates 

changed circumstances sufficient to 

warrant a review. Therefore, in 

accordance with the above–referenced 

regulation, the Department is initiating 

a changed–circumstances review. 

SNFA and SKF France also claim that 

the information contained in their 

January 9, 2007, request demonstrates 

that the post–acquisition SNFA is the 

successor–in-interest to the pre–

acquisition SNFA. The requesting 

parties ask that the Department thus 

refrain from issuing a changed–

circumstances questionnaire. The 

Department finds that the request does 

not clearly establish the entity to which 

SNFA is the successor–in-interest. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

§ 351.221(b)(2) and (4) and 19 CFR 

§ 351.221(c)(3)(i), we will issue a 

questionnaire requesting factual 

information for the review and will 

publish a notice of preliminary results 

of the antidumping duty changed–

circumstances review in the Federal 

Register. The notice will set forth the 

factual and legal conclusions upon 

which our preliminary results are based. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.221(b)(4)(ii), 

interested parties will have an 

opportunity to comment on the 

preliminary results of review. We will 

issue final results of review no later 

than the regulatory deadline in 

accordance with 19 CFR § 351.216(e). 

During the course of this antidumping 

duty changed–circumstances review, we 

will not change the cash–deposit 

requirements for the subject 

merchandise. The cash–deposit rate will 

be altered, if warranted, pursuant only 

to the final results of this review. 

This notice of initiation is in 

accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the 

Act, 19 CFR § 351.216(b) and (d), and 19 

CFR § 351.221(b)(1).

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (the Department) is 

rescinding its administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat 

products (CORE) from France for the 

period August 1, 2005, through July 31, 

2006. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 2, 2007.

telephone: (202) 482–7924 and (202) 

482–3019, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2006, the Department 

published in the Federal Register its 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on CORE from 

France. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

to Request Administrative Review, 71 

FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). In response, 

on August 31, 2006, United States Steel 

Corporation (U.S. Steel), a domestic 

interested party, requested an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on CORE from 

France for the period of review (POR) of 

August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006, 

with respect to entries of merchandise 

exported or shipped by Duferco Coating 

SA and Sorral SA (collectively, Duferco 

Sorral). Respondent Duferco Sorral did 

not request an administrative review. 

On September 29, 2006, the Department 

initiated an administrative review of 

Duferco Sorral. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative, 71 FR 57465 (September 

29, 2006). On October 16, 2006, the 

Department issued its antidumping duty 

questionnaire to Duferco Sorral. On 

November 13, 2006, Duferco Sorral and 

its U.S. affiliate, Duferco Steel, Inc., 

filed certifications that they did not, 

directly or indirectly, enter for 

consumption, or sell, export, or ship for 

entry for consumption in the United 

States, subject merchandise during the 

POR. See Letter to the Secretary from 

White and Case LLP, dated November 

13, 2006. 

On December 11, 2006, the 

Department issued a ‘‘No Shipment 

Inquiry’’ to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to confirm that there 

were no shipments or entries of CORE 

from France exported by Duferco Sorral 

during the POR of the instant 

administrative review. On December 27, 

2006, the Department confirmed, based 

on its internal review of CBP data and 

the results of its CBP inquiry, there were 

no entries of subject merchandise 

exported or shipped by Duferco Sorral

during the POR. See Memorandum to 

the File from Angelica L. Mendoza, 

through Stephen Bailey, Acting Program 

Manager, Office 7, Duferco Coating SA 

and Sorral SA (collectively Duferco 

Sorral) - No Shipments of Certain 

Corrosion–Resistant Carbon Steel Flat 

Products from France Per CBP Inquiry, 

dated December 27, 2006. On January 

19, 2007, U.S. Steel submitted a letter 

withdrawing its request for an 

administrative review of shipments or 

entries of CORE from France exported 

by Duferco Sorral. See Letter from 

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, 

LLP, dated January 19, 2007. 

Rescission of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

19 C.F.R. § 351.213(d)(1) provides that 

the Department will rescind an 

administrative review if the party that 

requested the review withdraws its 

request for review within 90 days of the 

date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review, or 

withdraws at a later date if the 

Department determines it is reasonable 

to extend the time limit for withdrawing 

the request. U.S. Steel’s request is past 

the 90-day time limit; however, we find 

that it is reasonable to extend the 

deadline. In response to U.S. Steel’s 

withdrawal of its request for an 

administrative review as well as the fact 

that Duferco Sorral had no shipments of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 351.213(d)(3), 

the Department hereby rescinds the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on CORE from 

France for the period August 1, 2005, 

through July 31, 2006. 

The Department intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions to 

CBP 15 days after the date of the 

publication of this notice. The 

Department will direct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties for Duferco Sorral at 

the cash deposit rate in effect on the 

date of entry for entries during the 

period August 1, 2005, through July 31, 

2006. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 C.F.R. § 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s assumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 C.F.R. § 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

C.F.R. § 351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 8, 2006, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published the preliminary results of the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain hot–

rolled carbon steel flat products (‘‘hot–

rolled steel’’) from Thailand covering 

the period November 1, 2004, through 

October 31, 2005. See Certain Hot–

Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From 

Thailand; Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review and Rescission in Part, 71 FR 

65458 (November 8, 2006). The final 

results for the antidumping duty 

administrative review of hot–rolled steel 

from Thailand are currently due no later 

than March 8, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limits for Final 

Results of Review 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue the 

final results within 120 days after the 

date on which the preliminary results 

are published. However, if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within that time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the time limit of 

the final results to 180 days from the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

results. 

Due to the complexity of the 

affiliation issue present in this 

administrative review, as well as the 

demands of other proceedings handled 

by the office administering this review, 

the Department has determined that it is 

not practicable to complete this review 

within the original time period. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time for completion of the 

final results to 180 days from the 

publication date of the preliminary 

results, until no later than May 7, 2007, 

in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: February 23, 2007.
