SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 31, 2007, United States 

Steel Corporation (‘‘Petitioner’’) and 

Nucor Corporation requested an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain hot–

rolled carbon steel flat products 

(‘‘Indian Hot–Rolled’’), which were 

produced or exported by Ispat 

Industries Limited (‘‘Ispat’’), JSW Steel 

Limited (‘‘JSW’’), Tata Steel Limited 

(‘‘Tata’’), and Essar Steel Limited 

(‘‘Essar’’). On January 28, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of antidumping duty 

administrative review of Indian Hot–

Rolled for the period December 1, 2006, 

through November 30, 2007. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 73 FR 4829 (January 28, 2008) 

(Initiation Notice). The preliminary 

results are currently due no later than 

September 1, 2008. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review with Respect to Ispat, JSW, and 

Tata 

On February 25, 2008, the Department 

issued a memorandum informing the 

interested parties of the Department’s 

intention to limit the number of 

companies it would examine in this 

review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’). The Department indicated that 

its respondent selection would be made 

based on the entry data from U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

for Indian Hot–Rolled during the period 

of review (‘‘POR’’). The Department set 

aside a period of seven calendar days for 

interested parties to raise issues 

regarding the use of CBP data for 

respondent selection in this review. See 

Memorandum to File, Re: ‘‘2006–2007 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review of Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon 

Steel Flat Products from India, ‘‘

Subject: ‘‘Customs and Border 

Protection Data for Selection of 

Respondents for Individual Review,’’

from Cindy Robinson, Senior Financial 

Analyst, through James Terpstra, 

Program Manager, and Melissa Skinner, 

Office Director, Office 3, AD/CVD 

Operations, dated February 25, 2008 

(‘‘Hot–Rolled Memo’’). 

On February 26–27, 2008, Ispat, Tata, 

and JSW each informed the Department 

that they did not have shipments of the 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. On March 3, 

2008, Petitioner submitted its comments 

in response to the Hot–Rolled Memo 

stating that since the Department issued 

the Hot–Rolled Memo, Ispat, JSW, and 

Tata have each certified that they had 

no shipments of subject merchandise to 

the United States during the POR, and 

their assertions are confirmed by the 

CBP data. Therefore, Petitioner asserted 

that the Department should rescind the 

instant administrative review with 

respect to Ispat, JSW, and Tata. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the 

Department may rescind an 

administrative review, ‘‘with respect to 

a particular exporter or producer, if the 

Secretary concludes that, during the 

period covered by the review, there 

were no entries, exports, or sales of the 

subject merchandise, as the case may 

be.’’ We examined CBP entry data for 

the three exporters/manufacturers: Ispat, 

JSW, and Tata, and we are satisfied that 

the record indicates that there were no 

U.S. entries of subject merchandise from 

these three companies during the POR. 

Accordingly, following the 

Department’s practice, we are 

preliminarily rescinding this review 

with respect to Ispat, JSW, and Tata. 

See, e.g., Certain Frozen Fish Fillets 

From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Notice of Preliminary Results and 

Partial Rescission of the Third 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 72 FR 53527, 53530 (September 

19, 2007), unchanged in final, Certain 

Frozen Fish Fillets From the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review and Partial Rescission, 73 FR 

15479, 15480 (March 24, 2008). 

After the preliminary partial 

rescission of Ispat, JSW, and Tata, only 

one respondent, Essar, remains in this 

review. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

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

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order or finding for which 

a review is requested. Section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further states that 

if it is not practicable to complete the 

review within the time period specified, 

the administering authority may extend 

the 245-day period to issue its 

preliminary results to up to 365 days. 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete this administrative review 

within the time limits mandated by 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because 

we require additional time to analyze 

the sales and cost data submitted by 

Essar and issue supplemental 

questionnaires to the company. 

Therefore, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of review by 60 days. The 

preliminary results are now due no later 

than October 31, 2008. The final results 

continue to be due 120 days after 

publication of the preliminary results. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751 of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 3, 2008, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published in the Federal Register the 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity To Request 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 11389 

(March 3, 2008), for the March 7, 2007, 

through February 29, 2008, 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on brass sheet 

and strip from Germany. On March 28, 

2008, the Department received a timely 

filed request for review from Wieland–

Werke AG (‘‘Wieland’’). On April 25, 

2008, the Department published in the 

Federal Register the Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Request for 

Revocation in Part, 73 FR 22337 (April 

25, 2008), in which the Department 

initiated the administrative review of 

brass sheet and strip from Germany. 

Rescission of Antidumping 

Administrative Review 

On July 9, 2008, we received a timely 

filed submission from Wieland 

withdrawing its request for an 

administrative review. Wieland filed its 

withdrawal request within the deadline 

established by section 351.213(d)(1) of 

the Department’s regulations. No other 

parties have requested a review of 

Wieland or any other producer or 

exporter of the subject merchandise. 

Therefore, we are rescinding the above–

cited administrative review in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For the company for 

which this review is rescinded, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department will 

issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding APOs 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return/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. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 777(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(4).
