Results of Full Sunset Review of the Suspension Agreement

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of the Full Sunset Review of the 
Suspension Agreement on Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from 
Ukraine

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 
    On November 25, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of preliminary results of the full 
sunset review of the suspended antidumping duty investigation on 
certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate (``CTL plate'') from Ukraine 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''). See Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Ukraine; 
Preliminary Results of Full Sunset Review of the Suspension Agreement, 
73 FR 71603 (November 25, 2008) (``Preliminary Results''). We provided 
interested parties an opportunity to comment on our Preliminary 
Results. The Department did not receive comments from either domestic 
or respondent interested parties. As a result of this review, the 
Department continues to find that termination of the suspended 
antidumping duty investigation on CTL plate from Ukraine would likely 
lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated 
in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 25, 2008, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of preliminary results of the full sunset review of 
the suspended antidumping duty investigation on CTL plate from Ukraine, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Preliminary Results, 73 FR 
71603. In our Preliminary Results, we found that the termination of the 
suspended antidumping duty investigation on CTL plate from Ukraine 
would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping at 
the margins determined in the final determination of the original 
investigation. Id. We provided interested parties an opportunity to 
comment on our Preliminary Results. Id. We did not receive comments 
from either domestic or respondent interested parties.

Scope of Review

    The products covered by the Agreement include hot-rolled iron and 
non-alloy steel universal mill plates (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 mm, 
not in coils and without patterns in relief), of rectangular shape, 
neither clad, plated nor coated with metal, whether or not painted, 
varnished, or coated with plastics or other nonmetallic substances; and 
certain iron and non-alloy steel flat-rolled products not in coils, of 
rectangular shape, hot-rolled, neither clad, plated, nor coated with 
metal, whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or 
other nonmetallic substances, 4.75 mm or more in thickness and of a 
width which exceeds 150 mm and measures at least twice the thickness. 
Included as subject merchandise in the Agreement are flat-rolled 
products of nonrectangular cross-section where such cross-section is 
achieved subsequent to the rolling process (i.e., products which have 
been ``worked after rolling'') for example, products which have been 
beveled or rounded at the edges. This merchandise is currently 
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) 
under item numbers 7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 
7208.51.0045, 7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000, 7208.53.0000, 7208.90.0000, 
7210.70.3000, 7210.90.9000, 7211.13.0000, 7211.14.0030, 7211.14.0045, 
7211.90.0000, 7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, and 7212.50.0000. Although 
the HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, 
the written description of the scope of the Agreement is dispositive. 
Specifically excluded from subject merchandise within the scope of this 
Agreement is grade X-70 steel plate.

Final Results of Review

    We have made no changes to our Preliminary Results, 73 FR 71603. We 
continue to find that termination of the suspended antidumping duty 
investigation on CTL plate from Ukraine would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the following percentage 
weighted-average margins:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Weighted-average
           Manufacturer/producer/exporter              margin percentage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azovstal............................................               81.43
Ilyich..............................................              155.00
Ukraine-wide........................................              237.91
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with section 752(c)(3) of the Act, we will notify the 
International Trade Commission of the final results of this full sunset 
review.
    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with section 351.305 of the 
Department's regulations. Timely 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 terms 
of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act.

    Dated: March 13, 2009.
