SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Title II, Section 203(o) of the United 

States-Colombia Trade Promotion 

Agreement Implementation Act (the 

‘‘Act’’) [Pub. L. 112–42] implements the 

commercial availability provision 

provided for in Article 3.3 of the United 

States-Colombia Trade Promotion 

Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’). The 

Agreement entered into force on May 

15, 2012. Subject to the rules of origin 

in Annex 4.1 of the Agreement, 

pursuant to the textile provisions of the 

Agreement, fabric, yarn, and fiber 

produced in Colombia or the United 

States and traded between the two 

countries are entitled to duty-free tariff 

treatment. Annex 3–B of the Agreement 

also lists specific fabrics, yarns, and 

fibers that the two countries agreed are 

not available in commercial quantities 

in a timely manner from producers in 

Colombia or the United States. The 

fabrics listed are commercially 

unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers, 

which are also entitled to duty-free 

treatment despite not being produced in 

Colombia or the United States. 

The list of commercially unavailable 

fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be 

changed pursuant to the commercial 

availability provision in Chapter 3, 

Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the 

Agreement. Under this provision, 

interested entities from Colombia or the 

United States have the right to request 

that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be 

added to, or removed from, the list of 

commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, 

and fibers in Annex 3–B of the 

Agreement. 

Chapter 3, Article 3.3, paragraph 7 of 

the Agreement requires that the 

President ‘‘promptly’’ publish 

procedures for parties to exercise the 

right to make these requests. Section 

203(o)(4) of the Act authorizes the 

President to establish procedures to 

modify the list of fabrics, yarns, or fibers 

not available in commercial quantities 

in a timely manner in either the United 

States or Colombia as set out in Annex 

3–B of the Agreement. The President 

delegated the responsibility for 

publishing the procedures and 

administering commercial availability 

requests to the Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(‘‘CITA’’), which issues procedures and 

acts on requests through the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Office of 

Textiles and Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See 

Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR 29519, 

May 18, 2012). 

The intent of the U.S.-Colombia TPA 

Commercial Availability Procedures is 

to foster the use of U.S. and regional 

products by implementing procedures 

that allow products to be placed on or 

removed from a product list, on a timely 

basis, and in a manner that is consistent 

with normal business practice. The 

procedures are intended to facilitate the 

transmission of requests; allow the 

market to indicate the availability of the 

supply of products that are the subject 

of requests; make available promptly, to 

interested entities and the public, 

information regarding the requests for 

products and offers received for those 

products; ensure wide participation by 

interested entities and parties; allow for 

careful review and consideration of 

information provided to substantiate 

requests, responses and rebuttals; and 

provide timely public dissemination of 

information used by CITA in making 

commercial availability determinations. 

CITA must collect certain information 

about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical 

specifications and the production 

capabilities of Colombian and U.S. 

textile producers to determine whether 

certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are 

available in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner in the United States or 

Colombia, subject to Section 203(o) of 

the Act. 

II. Method of Collection 

Participants in a commercial 

availability proceeding must submit 

public versions of their Requests, 

Responses or Rebuttals electronically 

(via email) for posting on OTEXA’s 

website. Confidential versions of those 

submissions which contain business 

confidential information must be 

delivered in hard copy to the Office of 

Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) at the 

U.S. Department of Commerce.

plate) from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea) received de minimis net

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 10, 2020, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on CTL 

plate from Korea.1 On July 21, 2020, 

Commerce tolled all preliminary and 

final results deadlines in administrative 

reviews by 60 days.2 On March 8, 2021, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this review to no 

later than July 30, 2021.3

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included at Appendix 

I. 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is CTL plate. For a complete description 

of the scope of the order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.5 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Intent To Rescind Administrative 

Review, in Part 

On August 6, 2020, Hyundai Steel 

Company timely submitted a no 

shipment certification.6 Because there is 

no evidence on the record to indicate 

that Hyundai Steel Company had 

entries, exports, or sales of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, and U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) did not provide 

Commerce with any contradictory 

information, we intend to rescind the 

review with respect to Hyundai Steel 

Company in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not directly address the 

CVD rates to be applied to companies 

not selected for individual examination 

where Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review pursuant to
