Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this investigation 

are certain flat-rolled steel products, either 

clad, plated, or coated with corrosionresistant metals such as zinc, aluminum, or 

zinc-, aluminum-, nickel- or iron-based 

alloys, whether or not corrugated or painted, 

varnished, laminated, or coated with plastics 

or other non-metallic substances in addition 

to the metallic coating. The products covered 

include coils that have a width of 12.7 mm 

or greater, regardless of form of coil (e.g., in 

successively superimposed layers, spirally 

oscillating, etc.). The products covered also 

include products not in coils (e.g., in straight 

lengths) of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and 

a width that is 12.7 mm or greater and that 

measures at least 10 times the thickness. The 

products covered also include products not 

in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a 

thickness of 4.75 mm or more and a width 

exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least 

twice the thickness. The products described 

above may be rectangular, square, circular, or 

other shape and include products of either 

rectangular or non-rectangular cross-section 

where such cross-section is achieved 

subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., 

products which have been ‘‘worked after 

rolling’’ (e.g., products which have been 

beveled or rounded at the edges). 

For purposes of the width and thickness 

requirements referenced above: 

(1) Where the nominal and actual 

measurements vary, a product is within the 

scope if application of either the nominal or 

actual measurement would place it within 

the scope based on the definitions set forth 

above, and 

(2) where the width and thickness vary for 

a specific product (e.g., the thickness of 

certain products with non-rectangular crosssection, the width of certain products with 

non-rectangular shape, etc.), the 

measurement at its greatest width or 

thickness applies. 

Steel products included in the scope of this 

investigation are products in which: (1) iron 

predominates, by weight, over each of the 

other contained elements; and (2) the carbon 

content is 2 percent or less, by weight. 

Subject merchandise also includes 

corrosion-resistant steel that has been further 

processed in a third country, including but 

not limited to annealing, tempering, painting, 

varnishing, trimming, cutting, punching and/ 

or slitting or any other processing that would 

not otherwise remove the merchandise from 

the scope of the investigation if performed in 

the country of manufacture of the in-scope 

corrosion resistant steel. 

All products that meet the written physical 

description are within the scope of this 

investigation unless specifically excluded. 

The following products are outside of and/or 

specifically excluded from the scope of this 

investigation: 

• Flat-rolled steel products either plated or 

coated with tin, lead, chromium, chromium 

oxides, both tin and lead (‘‘terne plate’’) or 

both chromium and chromium oxides (‘‘tin 

free steel’’), whether or not painted, 

varnished or coated with plastics or other 

non-metallic substances in addition to the 

metallic coating; 

• Clad products in straight lengths of 

4.7625 mm or more in composite thickness 

and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and 

measures at least twice the thickness; 

• Certain clad stainless flat-rolled 

products, which are three-layered corrosionresistant carbon steel flat-rolled products less 

than 4.75 mm in composite thickness that 

consist of a carbon steel flat-rolled product 

clad on both sides with stainless steel in a 

20%–60%–20% ratio; and 

Also excluded from the scope of the 

antidumping duty investigation on corrosion 

resistant steel from Taiwan are any products 

covered by the existing antidumping duty 

order on corrosion-resistant steel from 

Taiwan. See Certain Corrosion-Resistant 

Steel Products from India, Italy, the People’s

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 703(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). On October 2, 2024, 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of this countervailing duty 

(CVD) investigation.1 On November 14, 

2024, Commerce postponed the 

preliminary determination until 

February 3, 2025.2

For a complete description of events 

that followed the initiation of this 

investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are CORE from Canada. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of this investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).5 Certain interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. Commerce intends to 

issue its preliminary decision regarding 

comments concerning the scope of the 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) and CVD 

investigations in the preliminary 

determination of the companion LTFV 

investigations. We will incorporate the 

scope decisions from the LTFV 

investigation into the scope of the final 

CVD determination for this investigation 

after considering any relevant comments 

submitted in scope case and rebuttal 

briefs.6

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found to be countervailable, 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.7 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Commerce notes that, in making these 

findings, it relied, in part, on facts 

available, and, because it finds that 

certain companies that failed to timely 

respond to Commerce’s quantity and 

value (Q&V) questionnaire did not act to 

the best of their abilities to respond to 

Commerce’s requests for information, it 

drew an adverse inference in selecting 

from among the facts otherwise 

available.8 For further information, see 

the ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available 

and Adverse Inferences’’ section in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Alignment 

In accordance with section 705(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), 

Commerce is aligning the final CVD 

determination in this investigation with 

the final determination in the 

concurrent LTFV of CORE from Canada, 

based on a request made by the 

petitioners.9 Consequently, the final 

CVD determination will be issued on 

the same date as the final LTFV 

determination, which is currently 

scheduled to be issued no later than 

June 17, 2025, unless postponed.10

All-Others Rate 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act provide that, in the preliminary 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. This rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any rates that are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

preliminarily calculated total net 

subsidy rates for ArcelorMittal Dofasco 

Inc. (AMD) and Stelco, Inc. (Stelco) that 

are not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on the facts otherwise available. 

Because Commerce calculated 

individual estimated countervailable 

subsidy rates for AMD and Stelco that 

are not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on the facts otherwise available, 

we have preliminarily calculated the allothers rate using a weighted-average of 

the individual estimated subsidy rates 

calculated for the examined respondents 

using each company’s publicly-ranged 

sales values.11

Rate for Non-Responsive Company 

One potential exporter and/or 

producer of CORE from Canada did not 

timely respond to Commerce’s Q&V 

questionnaire.12 We find that, by not 

timely responding to the Q&V 

questionnaire, this company withheld 

requested information and significantly 

impeded this proceeding. Thus, in 

reaching our preliminary determination, 

pursuant to sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) 

of the Act, we are basing the subsidy 

rate for the non-responsive company on 

facts otherwise available. 

We further preliminarily determine 

that an adverse inference is warranted, 

pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. By 

failing to submit responses to 

Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, the 

non-responsive company did not 

cooperate to the best of its abilities in 

this investigation. Accordingly, we 

preliminarily find that an adverse 

inference is warranted to ensure that the 

non-responsive company will not obtain

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this investigation 

are certain flat-rolled steel products, either 

clad, plated, or coated with corrosionresistant metals such as zinc, aluminum, or 

zinc-, aluminum-, nickel- or iron-based 

alloys, whether or not corrugated or painted, 

varnished, laminated, or coated with plastics 

or other non-metallic substances in addition 

to the metallic coating. The products covered 

include coils that have a width of 12.7 mm 

or greater, regardless of form of coil (e.g., in 

successively superimposed layers, spirally 

oscillating, etc.). The products covered also 

include products not in coils (e.g., in straight 

lengths) of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and 

a width that is 12.7 mm or greater and that 

measures at least 10 times the thickness. The 

products covered also include products not 

in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a 

thickness of 4.75 mm or more and a width 

exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least 

twice the thickness. The products described 

above may be rectangular, square, circular, or 

other shape and include products of either 

rectangular or non-rectangular cross-section 

where such cross-section is achieved 

subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., 

products which have been ‘‘worked after 

rolling’’ (e.g., products which have been 

beveled or rounded at the edges). 

For purposes of the width and thickness 

requirements referenced above: 

(1) Where the nominal and actual 

measurements vary, a product is within the 

scope if application of either the nominal or 

actual measurement would place it within 

the scope based on the definitions set forth 

above, and 

(2) where the width and thickness vary for 

a specific product (e.g., the thickness of 

certain products with non-rectangular crosssection, the width of certain products with 

non-rectangular shape, etc.), the 

measurement at its greatest width or 

thickness applies. 

Steel products included in the scope of 

these investigations are products in which: 

(1) iron predominates, by weight, over each 

of the other contained elements; and (2) the 

carbon content is 2 percent or less, by weight. 

Subject merchandise also includes 

corrosion-resistant steel that has been further 

processed in a third country, including but 

not limited to annealing, tempering, painting, 

varnishing, trimming, cutting, punching and/ 

or slitting or any other processing that would 

not otherwise remove the merchandise from 

the scope of the investigation if performed in 

the country of manufacture of the in-scope
