4Cladding is the association of layers of metals 

of different colors or natures by molecular 

interpenetration of the surfaces in contact. This 

limited diffusion is characteristic of clad products 

and differentiates them from products metalized in 

other manners (e.g., by normal electroplating). The 

various cladding processes include pouring molten 

cladding metal onto the basic metal followed by 

rolling; simple hot-rolling of the cladding metal to 

ensure efficient welding to the basic metal; any 

other method of deposition of superimposing of the 

cladding metal followed by any mechanical or 

thermal process to ensure welding (e.g., 

electrocladding), in which the cladding metal 

(nickel, chromium, etc.) is applied to the basic 

metal by electroplating, molecular interpenetration 

of the surfaces in contact then being obtained by 

heat treatment at the appropriate temperature with 

subsequent cold rolling. See Harmonized

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on clad steel plate from Japan 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, the Department is publishing 

notice of continuation of this 

antidumping duty order. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 22, 2007.

482–0182, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 2, 2006, the Department 

initiated and the ITC instituted a sunset 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on clad steel plate from Japan pursuant 

to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).1

As a result of its review, the 

Department found that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins likely to 

prevail were the order to be revoked.2

On March 5, 2007, the ITC determined, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders on clad steel plate from Japan 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.3

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order is all clad4

steel plate of a width of 600 millimeters 

(mm) or more and a composite thickness 

of 4.5 mm or more. Clad steel plate is 

a rectangular finished steel mill product 

consisting of a layer of cladding material 

(usually stainless steel or nickel) which 

is metallurgically bonded to a base or 

backing of ferrous metal (usually carbon 

or low alloy steel) where the latter 

predominates by weight. 

Stainless clad steel plate is 

manufactured to American Society for 

Testing and Materials (ASTM) 

specifications A263 (400 series stainless 

types) and A264 (300 series stainless 

types). Nickel and nickel–base alloy 

clad steel plate is manufactured to 

ASTM specification A265. These 

specifications are illustrative but not 

necessarily all–inclusive. 

Clad steel plate within the scope of 

this order is classifiable under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) 7210.90.10.00. 

Although the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of this order is dispositive. 

Determination 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of this antidumping duty 

order would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, the Department hereby orders 

the continuation of the antidumping 

duty order on clad steel plate from 

Japan. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

will continue to collect antidumping 

duty cash deposits at the rates in effect 

at the time of entry for all imports of 

subject merchandise. The effective date 

of continuation of this order will be the 

date of publication in the Federal

Final Results of Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review: Certain Welded 

Carbon Steel Standard Pipe from 

Turkey 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On November 27, 2006, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published in the Federal 

Register its preliminary results of 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) order on 

certain welded carbon steel standard 

pipe from Turkey for the period January 

1, 2005, through December 31, 2005. See 

Preliminary Results of Countervailing 

Duty Administrative Review: Certain 

Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe 

from Turkey, 71 FR 68550 (November 

27, 2006) (‘‘Pipe Preliminary Results’’). 

The Department preliminarily found 

that the Borusan Group (‘‘Borusan’’), the 

producer/exporter of subject 

merchandise covered by this review, 

received countervailable subsidies 

during the period of review (‘‘POR’’). 

We did not receive any comments on 

our preliminary results and have made 

no revisions to those results. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 22, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 7, 1986, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

CVD order on certain welded carbon 

steel pipe and tube products from 

Turkey. See Countervailing Duty Order: 

Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and 

Tube Products from Turkey, 51 FR 7984 

(March 7, 1986). On November 27, 2006, 

the Department published in the 

Federal Register the preliminary results 

for this review. See Pipe Preliminary 

Results, 71 FR 68850. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), this review covers Borusan, 

the only producer/exporter of the 

subject merchandise for which a review 

was specifically requested.1 In the Pipe 

Preliminary Results, we invited 

interested parties to submit case briefs 

commenting on the preliminary results 

or to request a hearing. We did not hold 

hearing in this review, as one was not 

requested, and did not receive any case 

briefs. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain welded carbon steel pipe and 

tube with an outside diameter of 0.375 

inch or more, but not over 16 inches, of 

any wall thickness (pipe and tube) from 

Turkey. These products are currently 

provided for under the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) as item numbers 7306.30.10, 

7306.30.50, and 7306.90.10. Although 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the 

merchandise is dispositive. 

Final Results of Review 

As noted above, the Department 

received no comments concerning the 

preliminary results. Therefore, 

consistent with the Pipe Preliminary 

Results, we continue to find that 

Borusan received countervailable 

subsidies during the POR. In accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), we 

calculated a total net subsidy rate of 

0.23 percent ad valorem, which is de 

minimis, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c). 

As there have been no changes to or 

comments on the preliminary results, 

we are not attaching a decision 

memorandum to this Federal Register 

notice. For further details of the 

programs included in this proceeding, 

see the Pipe Preliminary Results. 

Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of this review, to liquidate 

shipments of subject merchandise by 

Borusan entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

January 1, 2005, through December 31, 

2005, without regard to countervailing 

duties because a de minimis subsidy 

rate was calculated. We will also 

instruct CBP not to collect cash deposits 

of estimated countervailing duties on 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

by Borusan entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of the final 

results of this review. 

For all non–reviewed companies, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits at the most recent 

company–specific or country–wide rate 

applicable to the company. Accordingly, 

the cash deposit rates that will be 

applied to companies covered by this 

order, but not examined in this review, 

are those established in the most 

recently completed administrative 

proceeding for each company. These 

rates shall apply to all non–reviewed 

companies until a review of a company 

assigned these rates is requested. 

Return of Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

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 CFR 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. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

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

Dated: March 16, 2007.
