Filing Information 

As a courtesy, we are making 

information related to sunset 

proceedings, including copies of the 

pertinent statute and Commerce’s 

regulations, Commerce’s schedule for 

Sunset Reviews, a listing of past 

revocations and continuations, and 

current service lists, available to the 

public on Commerce’s website at the 

following address: https://enforcement.

trade.gov/sunset/. All submissions in 

these Sunset Reviews must be filed in 

accordance with Commerce’s 

regulations regarding format, 

translation, and service of documents. 

These rules, including electronic filing 

requirements via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS), 

can be found at 19 CFR 351.303. 

In accordance with section 782(b) of 

the Act, any party submitting factual 

information in an AD/CVD proceeding 

must certify to the accuracy and 

completeness of that information. 

Parties must use the certification 

formats provided in 19 CFR 351.303(g). 

Commerce intends to reject factual 

submissions if the submitting party does 

not comply with applicable revised 

certification requirements. 

Letters of Appearance and 

Administrative Protective Orders 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), 

Commerce will maintain and make 

available a public service list for these 

proceedings. Parties wishing to 

participate in any of these five-year 

reviews must file letters of appearance 

as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d). To 

facilitate the timely preparation of the 

public service list, it is requested that 

those seeking recognition as interested 

parties to a proceeding submit an entry 

of appearance within 10 days of the 

publication of the Notice of Initiation. 

Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews 

can be very short, we urge interested 

parties who want access to proprietary 

information under administrative 

protective order (APO) to file an APO 

application immediately following 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of initiation. Commerce’s 

regulations on submission of proprietary 

information and eligibility to receive 

access to business proprietary 

information under APO can be found at 

19 CFR 351.304–306. Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving 

documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.1

Information Required From Interested 

Parties 

Domestic interested parties, as 

defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), 

and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.102(b), wishing to participate in a 

Sunset Review must respond not later 

than 15 days after the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of initiation by filing a notice 

of intent to participate. The required 

contents of the notice of intent to 

participate are set forth at 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with 

Commerce’s regulations, if we do not 

receive a notice of intent to participate 

from at least one domestic interested 

party by the 15-day deadline, Commerce 

will automatically revoke the order 

without further review.2

If we receive an order-specific notice 

of intent to participate from a domestic 

interested party, Commerce’s 

regulations provide that all parties 

wishing to participate in a Sunset 

Review must file complete substantive 

responses not later than 30 days after 

the date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of initiation. The 

required contents of a substantive 

response, on an order-specific basis, are 

set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note 

that certain information requirements 

differ for respondent and domestic 

parties. Also, note that Commerce’s 

information requirements are distinct 

from the ITC ’s information 

requirements. Consult Commerce’s 

regulations for information regarding 

Commerce’s conduct of Sunset Reviews. 

Consult Commerce’s regulations at 19 

CFR part 351 for definitions of terms 

and for other general information 

concerning antidumping and 

countervailing duty proceedings at 

Commerce. 

This notice of initiation is being 

published in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c). 

Dated: December 14, 2021.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products 

of Brazil: Final Results of the 

Expedited First Sunset Review of the 

Countervailing Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited 

sunset review, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on certain cold-rolled steel 

flat products (CRS) from Brazil would 

be likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable subsidies 

at the levels as indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Sunset Review’’ section of 

this notice. 

DATES: Applicable January 3, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

published the notice of initiation of the 

first five-year (sunset) review of the 

Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).2 Commerce received notices of 

intent to participate from ClevelandCliffs Inc., Nucor Corporation, Steel

Memorandum for the Final Results of the First 

Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on 

Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products from Brazil,’’ 

dated concurrently with, and herby adopted by, this 

notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 

The domestic interested parties claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers or 

producers of the domestic like product.4

On July 1, 2021, Commerce received 

an adequate substantive response to the 

Initiation Notice from the domestic 

interested parties within the 30-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce also 

received a response from the 

Government of Brazil (GOB).6 However, 

we did not receive a substantive 

response from any other interested party 

in this proceeding. On July 22, 2021, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties.7 As a result, Commerce 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the Order. On 

September 1, 2021, officials from 

Commerce and the GOB met to discuss 

certain procedural aspects of the 

expedited sunset review on CRS from 

Brazil.8

is provided in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and
