Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel From

Italy; Final Results of Countervailing

Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

countervailing duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On July 7, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) published in the Federal

Register its preliminary results of the

administrative review of the

countervailing duty order on grainoriented electrical steel for the period

January 1, 1998 through December 31,

1998.

Based on our analysis of the

comments received, and the decision of

the Court of Appeals for the Federal

Circuit in Delverde S.r.L. v. United

States, 202 F.3d 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2000)

(Delverde III), the Department has

reexamined its change in ownership

analysis and methodology. As a result,

we have made changes to the net

subsidy rate. Therefore, the final results

differ from the preliminary results. The

final net subsidy rate for the reviewed

company is listed below in the section

entitled ‘‘Final Results of Review.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 12, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute are references to

the provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930

(the Act), as amended by the Uruguay

Round Agreements Act (URAA)

effective January 1, 1995. In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department’s regulations are to

the regulations codified at 19 CFR part

351 (1999).

Background

On July 7, 2000, the Department

published the preliminary results of the

administrative review of the

countervailing duty order on grainoriented electrical steel. See GrainOriented Electrical Steel from Italy;

Preliminary Results of Countervailing

Duty Administrative Review and

Extension of Time Limit for Final

Results of Countervailing Duty

Administrative Review, 65 FR 41950

(July 7, 2000). This review covers one

manufacturer/exporter, Acciai Speciali

Terni S.p.A. (AST). The review covers

the period January 1, 1998 through

December 31, 1998, and 28 programs.

In the preliminary results, the

Department invited interested parties to

comment in their case briefs on the

implications for this proceeding, if any,

of the Delverde III decision. Both

petitioners and AST provided

comments in their case and rebuttal

briefs. On September 28, 2000, we sent

a questionnaire soliciting information

from AST, the Government of Italy

(GOI) and the European Commission

(EC) regarding the change in ownership

issue. On October 20, 2000, AST

submitted its response. The Department

issued supplemental questionnaires to

the respondents on October 27, 2000,

and received responses on November

14, 2000.

On November 21, 2000, the

Department issued its interpretation of

Delverde III and its revised change in

ownership approach in the Draft Results

of Redetermination Pursuant to Court

Remand, Acciai Speciali Terni S.p.A. v.

United States (Draft Redetermination),

which pertains to the Final Affirmative

Countervailing Duty Determination:

Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Italy,

64 FR 15508 (March 31, 1999). On

November 22, 2000, we placed the

public version of this Draft

Redetermination on the record of this

administrative review and provided

interested parties an opportunity to

comment on the change in ownership

approach set forth in the Draft

Redetermination. On December 6, 2000,

petitioners and AST submitted

comments. A public hearing was held

on December 15, 2000, in which both

parties participated. On December 19,

2000, the Department issued the Final

Results of Redetermination Pursuant to

Court Remand, Acciai Speciali Terni

S.p.A. v. United States (Final

Redetermination), which was placed on

this record as well.

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by this review are

shipments of grain-oriented electrical

steel from Italy, which is a flat-rolled

alloy steel product containing by weight

at least 0.6 percent of silicon, not more

than 0.08 percent of carbon, not more

than 1.0 percent of aluminum, and no

other element in an amount that would

give the steel the characteristics of

another alloy steel, of a thickness of no

more than 0.56 millimeters, in coils of

any width, or in straight lengths which

are of a width measuring at least 10

times the thickness. The products

covered by this review are provided for

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS): 7225.10.0030,

7226.10.1030, 7226.10.5015, and

proceeding is dispositive.
