Germany, Japan, the People’s Republic 

of China (the PRC), and Sweden is 

being, or is likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

(LTFV), as provided in section 735 of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). The final estimated weighted 

average dumping margins are shown in 

the ‘‘Final Determinations’’ section of 

this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 22, 2014, the Department 

published its preliminary affirmative 

determinations of sales at LTFV and 

preliminary affirmative determinations 

of critical circumstances, in part, in the 

LTFV investigations of NOES from 

Germany, Japan, Sweden,1 and the 

PRC.2 We invited interested parties to 

comment on our preliminary 

determinations. We received no 

comments in the investigations of NOES 

from Germany, Sweden, and the PRC. 

We received case and rebuttal briefs in 

the investigation of NOES from Japan. 

On June 23, 2014, we received case 

briefs from Marubeni Itochu Steel 

America Inc. and Nippon Steel & 

Sumitomo Metal Corporation. On June 

30, 2014, we received a rebuttal brief 

from AK Steel Corporation (Petitioner). 

On July 2, 2014, we postponed the final 

determinations of these LTFV 

investigations to October 6, 2014.3

Period of Investigations 

The period of investigation for the 

investigations of NOES from Germany, 

Japan and Sweden is July 1, 2012, 

through June 30, 2013. The period of 

investigation for the investigation of 

NOES from the PRC is January 1, 2013, 

through June 30, 2013. 

Scope of the Investigations 

The merchandise subject to these 

investigations consists of non-oriented 

electrical steel (NOES), which includes 

cold-rolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel 

products, whether or not in coils, 

regardless of width, having an actual 

thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which 

the core loss is substantially equal in 

any direction of magnetization in the 

plane of the material. The term 

‘‘substantially equal’’ means that the 

cross grain direction of core loss is no 

more than 1.5 times the straight grain 

direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of 

core loss. NOES has a magnetic 

permeability that does not exceed 1.65 

Tesla when tested at a field of 800 A/ 

m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e., 

parallel to) the rolling direction of the 

sheet (i.e., B800 value). NOES contains 

by weight more than 1.00 percent of 

silicon but less than 3.5 percent of 

silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of 

carbon, and not more than 1.5 percent 

of aluminum. NOES has a surface oxide 

coating, to which an insulation coating 

may be applied. 

NOES is subject to these 

investigations whether it is fully 

processed (i.e., fully annealed to 

develop final magnetic properties) or 

semi-processed (i.e., finished to final 

thickness and physical form but not 

fully annealed to develop final magnetic 

properties). Fully processed NOES is 

typically made to the requirements of 

ASTM specification A 677, Japanese 

Industrial Standards (JIS) specification 

C 2552, and/or International 

Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 

specification 60404–8–4. Semiprocessed NOES is typically made to the 

requirements of ASTM specification A

683. However, the scope of this 

investigation is not limited to 

merchandise meeting the ASTM, JIS and 

IEC specifications noted immediately 

above. 

NOES is sometimes referred to as 

cold-rolled non-oriented (CRNO), nongrain oriented (NGO), non-oriented 

(NO), or cold-rolled non-grain oriented 

(CRNGO) electrical steel. These terms 

are interchangeable. 

Excluded from the scope of these 

investigations are flat-rolled products 

not in coils that, prior to importation 

into the United States, have been cut to 

a shape and undergone all punching, 

coating, or other operations necessary 

for classification in Chapter 85 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) as a part (i.e., 

lamination) for use in a device such as 

a motor, generator, or transformer. 

The subject merchandise is provided 

for in subheadings 7225.19.0000, 

7226.19.1000, and 7226.19.9000 of the 

HTSUS. Subject merchandise may also 

be entered under subheadings 

7225.50.8085, 7225.99.0090, 

7226.92.5000, 7226.92.7050, 

7226.92.8050, 7226.99.0180 of the 

HTSUS. Although HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and 

Customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope is dispositive. 

Verification 

Because none of the mandatory 

respondents in the investigations of 

NOES from Germany, Japan, and 

Sweden provided information requested 

by the Department and because the 

Department preliminarily determined 

that each of the mandatory respondents 

in these investigations had been 

uncooperative,4 the Department did not 

conduct verifications. Additionally, the 

only party in the investigation of NOES 

from the PRC, the PRC-wide entity, did 

not cooperate to the best of its ability.5

Accordingly, the Department did not 

conduct a verification in the PRC 

investigation. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

Because we received no comments in 

the investigations of NOES from 

Germany, Sweden, and the PRC, we 

made no changes to the Preliminary 

Determinations with respect to these 

investigations. All issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties 

in the Japan investigation are addressed 

in the Japan Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.6 A list of the issues that 

parties raised and to which we 

responded is in the Japan Issues and 

Decision Memorandum and attached to 

this notice as an appendix. The Japan 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). 

IA ACCESS is available to registered 

users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov, and it 

is available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, room 7046, of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Japan Issues and Decision Memorandum 

can be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determinations 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties, we made one revision to our 

preliminary determination in the 

investigation of NOES from Japan. As 

discussed below in the ‘‘Final 

Affirmative Determinations of Critical 

Circumstances, in Part’’ section, we do 

not find there to be massive imports for 

the non-individually examined 

companies receiving the ‘‘All Others’’ 

rate in the investigation of NOES from 

Japan, pursuant to section 735(a)(3)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(h). 

Accordingly, we no longer find that 

critical circumstances exist for the nonindividually examined companies 

receiving the ‘‘All Others’’ rate in the 

Japan investigation. We made no 

changes to our preliminary 

determinations in the LTFV 

investigations of NOES from Germany, 

Sweden, or the PRC. 

Final Affirmative Determinations of 

Critical Circumstances, in Part 

In accordance with section 733(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, we 

preliminarily found critical 

circumstances exist with respect to each 

of the mandatory respondents in the 

investigations of NOES from Germany, 

Japan and Sweden, and for all other 

producers and exporters subject to the 

investigations of NOES from Japan and 

Sweden.7 With respect to all other 

producers and exporters subject to the 

investigation of NOES from Germany, 

including ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe 

AG, we preliminarily found that critical 

circumstances did not exist.8 In 

addition, in accordance with section 

733(e)(1) of the Act, we preliminarily 

found that critical circumstances exist 

with respect to the PRC-wide entity in 

the investigation of NOES from the 

PRC.9

As stated above, for the investigations 

of NOES from Sweden, Germany, and 

the PRC, we received no comments 

concerning the preliminary 

determinations. Thus, we continue to 

find that, in accordance with section 

735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, 

critical circumstances exist for all 

exporters and producers, including the 

mandatory respondent, of NOES from 

Sweden, and that critical circumstances 

exist for each of the mandatory 

respondents in the investigation of 

NOES from Germany. With respect to all 

other producers and exporters subject to 

the investigation of NOES from 

Germany, including ThyssenKrupp 

Steel Europe AG, we find that critical 

circumstances do not exist. Also, for the 

investigation of NOES from the PRC, we 

continue to find that, in accordance 

with section 735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.206, critical circumstances 

exist with respect to the PRC-wide 

entity. 

For Japan, we received a comment 

that the Department should update the 

U.S. import statistics used in its critical 

circumstances analysis if additional 

data up through May 2014 (the month 

the preliminary determination was 

issued and published) are available. In 

response to this comment, in 

conducting our critical circumstances 

analysis for the final determination, we 

compared relevant import data for the 

comparison period October 2013 to May 

2014 to data for the base period 

February 2013 to September 2013. 

Based on this comparison, we did not 

find an increase in imports of 15 percent 

or more during a ‘‘relatively short 

period’’ of time, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.206(h) and (i). Therefore, we 

do not find there to be massive imports 

for the non-individually examined 

companies receiving the ‘‘All Others’’ 

rate in the investigation of NOES from 

Japan, pursuant to section 735(a)(3)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(h).10

Accordingly, while we continue to find 

that critical circumstances exist with 

respect to each of the mandatory 

respondents in the investigation of

NOES from Japan, we find that critical 

circumstances do not exist for the nonindividually examined companies 

receiving the ‘‘All Others’’ rate in the 

investigation of NOES from Japan under 

section 735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.206. 

Use of Facts Available and Adverse 

Facts Available 

As stated in the Preliminary 

Determinations and Preliminary 

Determination PRC, all mandatory 

respondents in the Germany, Japan, and 

Sweden proceedings and the PRC-wide 

entity in the PRC proceeding failed to 

cooperate to the best of their ability in 

providing requested information 

because they withheld requested 

information, failed to provide the 

information in a timely manner and in 

the form requested, and significantly 

impeded these proceedings.11

Accordingly, pursuant to sections 

776(a)(2)(A), (B), and (C) and section 

776(b) of the Act, we find it appropriate 

to assign the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins in the table 

below, which are based on total adverse 

facts available.12

Final Determinations 

As stated above, we made no changes 

to our preliminary LTFV determinations 

in the Germany, Japan, Sweden, and 

PRC investigations. Therefore, we 

continue to determine that the following 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the following 

producers or exporters for Germany, 

Japan, and Sweden during the period 

July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013; and 

for the PRC wide-entity during the 

period January 1, 2013 through June 30, 

2013:

For Germany, Japan and Sweden, the 

‘‘All Others’’ rate is based on a simple 

average of the dumping margins from 

the petition.13 For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our final 

determinations, see All Other Rate 

Memoranda.14

Continuation and Partial Termination 

of Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, the Department 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

NOES from Germany, Japan, the PRC, 

and Sweden, as described in the ‘‘Scope 

of the Investigations’’ section, for which 

critical circumstances have been found 

to exist, which were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after February 21, 

2014, 90 days prior to the date of 

publications of the Preliminary 

Determinations and the Preliminary 

Determination PRC, pursuant to section 

733(e)(2) of the Act. 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department 

will instruct CBP to continue to suspend 

liquidation of entries of NOES from 

Germany, as described in the ‘‘Scope of 

the Investigations’’ section, from 

companies receiving the ‘‘All Others’’ 

rate, which were entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after May 22, 2014, the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations. 

Because we no longer find that critical 

circumstances exist for the nonindividually examined companies 

receiving the ‘‘All Others’’ rate in the 

investigation of NOES from Japan, the 

Department, in accordance with section 

735(c)(3) of the Act, will instruct CBP to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

of relevant entries, as described in the 

‘‘Scope of the Investigations’’ section, 

which were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption prior to the 

date of publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations (i.e., on or after 

February 21, 2014 through May 21, 

2014), and to refund any cash deposit 

with respect to those entries of subject 

merchandise the liquidation of which 

was suspended retroactively under 

section 733(e)(2) of the Act. In 

accordance with sections 733(d)(2) and 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will direct 

CBP to continue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of NOES from 

Japan, as described in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigations’’ section, from companies 

receiving the ‘‘All Others’’ rate which 

were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

May 22, 2014, the date of publication of 

the Preliminary Determinations. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

for entries of NOES from Germany, 

Japan, and Sweden as follows: (1) The 

cash deposit rates for mandatory 

respondents will be equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins that we have determined in 

these final determinations for these 

respondents; (2) if the exporter is not a 

mandatory respondent identified in the 

investigation but the producer is, the 

cash deposit rate will be the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established for the producer of the 

subject merchandise in these final 

determinations; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will be equal to the country-specific 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for ‘‘All Other’’ producers and 

exporters determined in these final 

determinations. The instructions 

suspending liquidation will remain in 

effect until further notice.15

Consistent with our practice, where 

the product under investigation is also 

subject to a concurrent countervailing 

duty investigation, we instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit equal to the

16See sections 772(c)(1)(C) and 777A(f) of the 

Act, respectively. Unlike in administrative reviews, 

the Department makes an adjustment for export 

subsidies in an LTFV investigation not in the 

calculation of the weighted-average dumping 

margin, but in the cash deposit instructions issued 

to CBP. See Notice of Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value, and Negative 

Determination of Critical Circumstances: Certain 

Lined Paper Products from India, 71 FR 45012 

(August 8, 2006), and accompanying Issues and

17The following subsidy programs countervailed 

in the final determination of the concurrent 

countervailing duty investigation are export 

subsidies: Preferential Export Financing from the 

Export-Import Bank of China (1.06 percent) and Tax 

Refunds for Reinvestment of FIE Profits in ExportOriented Enterprises (9.71 percent). See NonOriented Electrical Steel from the People’s Republic

amount by which the normal value 

exceeds the export price or constructed 

export price, adjusted where 

appropriate for export subsidies and 

estimated domestic subsidy passthrough.16 With regard to the PRC-wide 

entity, we find that an adjustment for 

export subsidies of 10.77 percent 17 is 

warranted because this is the export 

subsidy rate included in the 

countervailing duty rate to which all 

entries from the PRC-wide entity are 

currently subject. We are not adjusting 

the final determination rate for 

estimated domestic subsidy passthrough because we have no basis upon 

which to make such an adjustment. 

Thus, we will offset the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the PRC-wide entity of 407.52 percent 

by the countervailing duty rate 

attributable to export subsidies (i.e., 

10.77 percent) to calculate the cash 

deposit ad valorem rate for the PRCwide entity of 396.75 percent. The 

suspension of liquidation instructions 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,18 the 

Department stated that it would 

calculate combination rates for PRC 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. This 

practice is described in Policy Bulletin 

05.1, available at http://enforcement.

trade.gov/policy/index.html. Because 

the Department has not granted a 

separate rate to any PRC respondent, the 

Department has not calculated 

combination rates for any PRC 

respondents. 

Disclosure 

We described the calculations used to 

determine the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins based on 

adverse facts available in the 

Preliminary Determinations and 

Preliminary Determination PRC. We 

made no changes to our calculations 

since these preliminary affirmative 

determinations. Thus, no additional 

disclosure of calculations is necessary 

for the final determinations. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of our final 

affirmative determinations of sales at 

LTFV and final affirmative 

determinations of critical 

circumstances, in part. Because the final 

determinations in these proceedings are 

affirmative, section 735(b)(2) of the Act 

requires that the ITC make its final 

determinations as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

NOES from Germany, Japan, Sweden, 

and the PRC no later than 45 days after 

our final determinations. If the ITC 

determines that material injury or threat 

of material injury does not exist for any 

country, the associated proceeding will 

be terminated and all securities posted 

will be refunded. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does exist for any 

country, the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order for that country 

directing CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all imports of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the effective date of the suspension 

of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a reminder to the 

parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APOs in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 

notification of return or destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and the terms of APOs is a sanctionable 

violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These determinations are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(c).
