SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 30, 2008, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) initiated 

the administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on tapered 

roller bearings and parts thereof, 

finished or unfinished (‘‘TRBs’’), from 

the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

for the period June 1, 2007 through May 

31, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, Request for Revocation in Part, 

and Deferral of Administrative Review, 

73 FR 44220 (July 30, 2008). On 

February 19, 2009, the Department 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register extending the time limit for the 

preliminary results of review by 90 

days, until June 1, 2009. See Tapered 

Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, 

Finished or Unfinished, from the 

People’s Republic of China: Extension of 

Time Limit for the Preliminary Results 

of the 2007–2008 Administrative Review 

of the Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 

7661 (February 19, 2009). 

Statutory Time Limits 

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

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination in an 

administrative review within 245 days 

after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested and a final determination 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the preliminary results are published. 

However, if it is not practicable to 

complete the review within these time 

periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 

allows the Department to extend the 

time limit for the preliminary 

determination to a maximum of 365 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete the preliminary results of 

this review within the current extended 

time limit because the Department 

requires additional time to analyze the 

supplemental questionnaire responses 

and issue additional supplemental 

questionnaires, if necessary. Therefore, 

the Department is extending the time 

limit for completion of the preliminary 

results by an additional 30 days. Thus, 

the preliminary results of this review 

are being fully extended by 120 days 

from the original deadline of March 2, 

2009, which results in a new deadline 

of June 30, 2009. The final results 

continue to be due 120 days after the 

publication of the preliminary results. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: April 21, 2009.

is February 1, 2007, through January 31, 

2008. We gave interested parties an 

opportunity to comment on the 

preliminary results. Based on our 

analysis of the comments received and 

an examination of our calculations, we 

have made changes for the final results. 

The final weighted–average dumping 

margin is listed below in the ‘‘Final 

Results of the Review’’ section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 27, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 19, 2008, the 

Department published Certain Cut–toLength Carbon–Quality Steel Plate 

Products From the Republic of Korea: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 

77614 (December 19, 2008) (Preliminary 

Results), in the Federal Register. The 

administrative review covers one 

producer of the subject merchandise, 

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM). 

We invited parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. We received case 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 79 / Monday, April 27, 2009 / Notices 19047 

briefs from DSM and a domestic 

producer and interested party, 

ArcelorMittal USA Inc. (ArcelorMittal). 

We received a rebuttal brief from DSM. 

At the request of ArcelorMittal, we held 

a hearing on February 4, 2009. 

We have conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

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

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the 

antidumping duty order are certain hot– 

rolled carbon–quality steel: (1) 

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 nominal or actual thickness of 

not less than 4 mm, which are cut–tolength (not in coils) and without 

patterns in relief), of iron or non–alloyquality steel; and (2) flat–rolled 

products, hot–rolled, of a nominal or 

actual thickness of 4.75 mm or more and 

of a width which exceeds 150 mm and 

measures at least twice the thickness, 

and which are cut–to-length (not in 

coils). Steel products included in the 

scope of the order are of rectangular, 

square, circular, or other shape and of 

rectangular or non–rectangular crosssection where such non–rectangular 

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. Steel 

products that meet the noted physical 

characteristics that are painted, 

varnished, or coated with plastic or 

other non–metallic substances are 

included within the scope. Also, 

specifically included in the scope of the 

order are high strength, low alloy 

(HSLA) steels. HSLA steels are 

recognized as steels with micro–alloying 

levels of elements such as chromium, 

copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium, 

and molybdenum. Steel products 

included in the scope, regardless of 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) definitions, are 

products in which: (1) Iron 

predominates, by weight, over each of 

the other contained elements, (2) the 

carbon content is two percent or less, by 

weight, and (3) none of the elements 

listed below is equal to or exceeds the 

quantity, by weight, respectively 

indicated: 1.80 percent of manganese, or 

1.50 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 0.41 percent of titanium, or 

0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15 

percent zirconium. All products that 

meet the written physical description, 

and in which the chemistry quantities 

do not equal or exceed any one of the 

levels listed above, are within the scope 

of the order unless otherwise 

specifically excluded. The following 

products are specifically excluded from 

the order: (1) Products clad, plated, or 

coated with metal, whether or not 

painted, varnished or coated with 

plastic or other non–metallic 

substances; (2) SAE grades (formerly 

AISI grades) of series 2300 and above; 

(3) products made to ASTM A710 and 

A736 or their proprietary equivalents; 

(4) abrasion–resistant steels (i.e., USS 

AR 400, USS AR 500); (5) products 

made to ASTM A202, A225, A514 grade 

S, A517 grade S, or their proprietary 

equivalents; (6) ball bearing steels; (7) 

tool steels; and (8) silicon manganese 

steel or silicon electric steel. Imports of 

steel plate are currently classified in the 

HTSUS under subheadings 

7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060,

are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes. The written 

description of the merchandise covered 

by the order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

The issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’ 

(Decision Memorandum) from John M. 

Andersen, Acting Deputy Assistant 

Secretary, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, 

Acting Assistant Secretary, dated April 

20, 2009, which is hereby adopted by 

this notice. A list of the issues which 

parties have raised and to which we 

have responded is in the Decision 

Memorandum and attached to this 

notice as an Appendix. The Decision 

Memorandum, which is a public 

document, is on file in the Central 

Records Unit, main 

Department building, Room 1117 and 

accessible on the Web at http:// 

ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/index. html. The 

paper copy and electronic version of the 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we corrected an 

error involving the improper setting of 

the length of the control numbers we 

use for matching U.S. sales to home– 

market sales. The error resulted in 

incorrect matches of U.S. sales to home– 

market sales. We have corrected this 

error. See the Final Analysis 

Memorandum for DSM dated April 20, 

2009, for detailed information on this 

correction. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

determine that the weighted–average 

dumping margin for DSM is 5.59 

percent for the period February 1, 2007, 

through January 31, 2008. 

Assessment Rates 

The Department shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries. In accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have 

calculated an importer–specific 

assessment rate for these final results of 

review. We divided the total dumping 

margins for the reviewed sales by the 

total entered value of those reviewed 

sales for the reported importer. We will 

instruct CBP to assess the importer– 

specific rate uniformly on all entries of 

subject merchandise made by the 

relevant importer during the period of 

review. See 19 CFR 351.212(b). 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties). This clarification 

will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the period of 

review produced by DSM for which 

DSM did not know its merchandise was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries of DSM– 

produced merchandise at the all–others 

rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. For a full discussion of 

this clarification, see Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties. 

The Department will issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication of these final results of 

review. 

Cash–Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of 

this notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of steel plate from Korea entered, or

the cash–deposit rate will continue to be 

the company–specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the less–thanfair–value investigation but the 

manufacturer is, the cash–deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; (4) if neither the 

exporter nor the manufacturer has its 

own rate, the cash–deposit rate will be 

0.98 percent, the all–others rate

adjusted for the export–subsidy rate in 

the companion countervailing duty 

investigation.2 These deposit 

requirements shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled 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 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

notification of the 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. 

These final results of administrative 

review are issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: April 20, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 21, 1995, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published 

the antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel bar (‘‘SSB’’) from India. See 

Antidumping Duty Orders: Stainless 

Steel Bar from Brazil, India and Japan, 

60 FR 9661 (February 21, 1995). On 

March 31, 2008, in accordance with 

section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (‘‘the Act’’), we initiated an 

administrative review of the order for 

two companies. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, Request for 

Revocation in Part, and Deferral of 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 16837 

(March 31, 2008). On March 6, 2009, the 

Department published its preliminary 

results of the 2007–2008 antidumping 

duty administrative review. See 

Stainless Steel Bar From India: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 9787 

(March 6, 2009). The final results for 

this review are currently due no later 

than July 6, 2009. 

Extension of Time Limit of Final 

Results 

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

requires the Department to issue 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 this time period, section 

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

Department to extend the time period to 

a maximum of 180 days. 

Completion of the final results of the 

administrative review within the 120– 

day period in this case is not practicable 

because, following the preliminary 

results, the Department issued a 

comprehensive supplemental 

questionnaire concerning an affiliate of 

respondent Venus Wire Industries Pvt. 

Ltd. (‘‘Venus’’). The Department 

requires additional time to analyze 

Venus’ supplemental questionnaire 

responses and the comments from the 

domestic interested parties. In addition, 

the Department has received a request to 

extend the final results from domestic 

interested parties. 

Because it is not practicable to 

complete this review within the time 

specified under the Act, we are fully 

extending the time period for issuing 

the final results of the administrative 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, the 

final results are now due no later than 

September 2, 2009. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

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

Dated: April 21, 2009.
