SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 11, 2006, we published 

in the Federal Register the preliminary 

results of this administrative review. 

See Preliminary Results. In response to 

the Department’s invitation to comment 

on the preliminary results of this 

review, Corus (respondent) and 

domestic interested party Mittal Steel 

USA Inc. (Mittal Steel) filed case briefs 

on January 17, 2007. Corus, Mittal Steel 

and petitioner United States Steel 

Corporation (U.S. Steel) submitted 

rebuttal briefs on January 24, 2007, and 

on January 25, 2007, domestic interested 

party Nucor Corporation (Nucor) filed a 

rebuttal brief. On March 23, 2007, the 

Department extended the final results 

by 35 days. See Certain Hot–Rolled 

Carbon Steel Flat Products from the 

Netherlands; Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; Extension of 

Time Limit, 72 FR 13744 (March 23, 

2007). 

On May 4, 2007, Corus submitted a 

request for the Department to rescind 

the review in light of the Department ’s 

Final Results for the Section 129 

Determination: Certain Hot–rolled 

Carbon Steel from the Netherlands 

(April 9, 2007) and the U.S. Trade 

Representative’s instructions to the 

Department to implement those findings 

under Section 129 of the Uruguay 

Round Agreements Act. See 

Implementation of the Findings of the 

WTO Panel in US–Zeroing (EC): Notice 

of Determinations under Section 129 of 

the Uruguay Agreements Act and 

Revocations and Partial Revocations of 

Certain Antidumping Duty Orders, 72 

FR 25, 261 (May 4, 2007). On May 11, 

2007, Mittal Steel and Nucor submitted 

responses to Corus Staal’s request. The 

request for rescission is well past the 

deadline for such requests and 

furthermore Corus Staal itself did not 

request the review, thus making it 

ineligible to request rescission. See 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(1). Corus’ arguments 

regarding the section 129 determination 

are addressed in the Issues and 

Decisions Memorandum, (Decision 

Memorandum) which accompanies this 

Notice, at issue 4. 

Period of Review 

The period of review (POR) is 

November 1, 2004, to October 31, 2005. 

Scope of the Order 

For purposes of this order, the 

products covered are certain hot–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 4.0 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 the 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 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 (HTS), 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.

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Decision Memorandum from 

Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for AD/CVD Operations, to 

David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary 

for Import Administration, dated May 

15, 2007, which is hereby adopted by 

this notice. A list of the issues which 

parties have raised and to which we 

have responded, all of which are in the 

Decision Memorandum, is attached to 

this notice as an appendix. Parties can 

find a complete discussion of all issues 

raised in this review and the 

corresponding recommendations in this 

public memorandum, which is on file in 

the Central Records Unit, room B–099 of 

the main Department building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly via the Internet at 

www.ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper copy and 

electronic version of the Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Duty Absorption 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department found that Corus Staal 

absorbed antidumping duties on all U.S. 

sales in accordance with section 

751(a)(4) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Tariff Act). Corus Staal 

has failed to provide evidence that the 

unaffiliated customers in the United 

States will pay the full duty ultimately 

assessed on the subject merchandise. 

See Comment 6 of the Issues and 

Decisions Memorandum. Thus, for the 

final results of this review, we continue 

to find that Corus Staal absorbed 

antidumping duties. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made the 

following changes to the margin 

calculation: 

• We corrected a clerical error that 

erroneously compared U.S. control 

numbers to comparison market 

product codes. 

• We corrected a clerical error 

involving the CEP profit rate. 

These changes are discussed in the 

relevant sections of the Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted–average percentage margin 

exists for the period November 1, 2004, 

to October 31, 2005: 

Manufacturer/Exporter Weighted Average 

Margin (percentage) 

Corus Staal BV ........... 2.52 

Assessment 

The Department shall determine, and 

the CBP shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

we have calculated importer–specific 

assessment rates for the merchandise 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales made during the POR to 

the total customs value of the sales used 

to calculate those duties. The 

Department will issue appropriate ad 

valorem assessment instructions 

directly to CBP 15 days after publication 

of these final results of review. We will 

direct CBP to assess the resulting 

assessment rate against the entered 

customs values for the subject 

merchandise on each of the importer’s 

entries during the POR. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

On May 4, 2007, the Department 

published a FR notice that, inter alia, 

revoked this order, effective April 23, 

2007. See Implementation of the 

Findings of the WTO Panel in US –

Zeroing (EC): Notice of Determinations 

Under Section 129 of the Uruguay 

Round Agreements Act and Revocations 

and Partial Revocations of Certain 

Antidumping Duty Orders, 72 FR 25,261 

(May 4,2007). Therefore, there is no 

need to issue new cash deposit 

instructions for this administrative 

review. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice also 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 presumption that 

reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return or 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.

Exclusive Patent License 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice in accordance 

with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR 

404.7(a)(1)(i) that the National Institute 

of Standards and Technology (‘‘NIST’’), 

U.S. Department of Commerce, is 

contemplating the grant of an exclusive 

license in the United States of America, 

its territories, possessions and 

commonwealths, to NIST’s interest in 

the invention embodied in U.S. Patent 

No. 5,620,857 (Application No. 08/ 

473,979), titled ‘‘Optical Trap for 

Detection and Quantitation of 

Subzeptomolar Quantities of Analytes,’’

NIST Docket No. 94–042US to 

Haemonetics Corporation, having a 

place of business at 400 Wood Road, 

Braintree, Massachusetts 02184–9114. 

The grant of the license would be for the 

field of use: Chemical and biological 

material sensing and measurement for 

medical diagnostics.

Standards and Technology, Office of 

Technology Partnerships, 100 Bureau 

Drive, Stop 2200, Gaithersburg, MD 

20899, Phone 301–975–2691. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

prospective exclusive license will be 

royalty bearing and will comply with 

the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 

209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective 

exclusive license may be granted unless, 

within thirty days from the date of this 

published Notice, NIST receives written 

evidence and argument which establish 

that the grant of the license would not 

be consistent with the requirements of 

35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The 

availability of the invention for 

licensing was published in the Federal 

Register on June 24, 2003. 

U.S. Patent No. 5,620,857 is owned by 

the U.S. government, as represented by 

the Secretary of Commerce. Tightly 

focused beams of laser light are used as 

‘‘optical tweezers’’ to trap and 

manipulate polarizable objects such as 

microspheres of glass or latex with 

diameters on the order of 4.5 .mu.m. 

When analytes are allowed to adhere to 

the microspheres, small quantities of 

these analytes can be manipulated, thus 

allowing their detection and 

quantitation even when amounts and 

concentrations of the analytes are 

extremely small. Illustrative examples 

include measuring the strength needed 

to break antibody-antigen bonds and the 

detection of DNA sequences.
