Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon Steel Flat 

Products from Thailand: Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review and 

Reinstatement in the Antidumping 

Duty Order 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce 

SUMMARY: On December 30, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published the preliminary 

results of the changed circumstances 

review and intent to reinstate Sahaviriya 

Steel Industries Public Company 

Limited (‘‘SSI’’) in the antidumping 

duty order (‘‘the order’’) on certain hot– 

rolled carbon steel flat products (‘‘hot– 

rolled steel’’) from the Kingdom of 

Thailand (‘‘Thailand’’). See Certain Hot– 

Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from 

Thailand: Preliminary Results of 

Changed Circumstances Review and 

Intent To Reinstate Sahaviriya Steel 

Industries Public Company Limited in 

the Antidumping Duty Order, 73 FR 

79809 (December 30, 2008) 

(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). On October 29, 

2008, we extended the time limit for 

completion of this changed 

circumstances review until April 22, 

2009. See Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon 

Steel Flat Products from Thailand: 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results of Changed Circumstances 

Review, 73 FR 64303 (October 29, 2008) 

(‘‘First Extension Notice’’). On April 29, 

2009, we extended the date for the final 

results of this review by 15 days. See 

Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon Steel Flat 

Products from Thailand: Extension of 

Time Limit for Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review, 74 FR 19524 

(April 29, 2009).This review covers 

subject merchandise manufactured and 

exported by SSI. The product covered 

by this order is hot–rolled steel from 

Thailand (see ‘‘Scope of the Order’’ 

section below). The period of review 

(‘‘POR’’) is July 1, 2006, through June 

30, 2007. Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made 

changes to the margin calculation. 

Therefore, the final results differ from 

the preliminary results. However, we 

continue to determine that SSI sold 

subject merchandise at less than normal 

value (‘‘NV’’) during the POR, and 

hereby reinstate SSI in the order. The 

final weighted–average dumping margin 

is listed below in the section entitled 

‘‘Final Results of Review.’’ 

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 15, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 30, 2008, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register the preliminary results of this 

changed circumstances review and 

intent to reinstate SSI in the 

antidumping order on hot–rolled steel 

from Thailand. See Preliminary Results. 

This review covers sales of subject 

merchandise by SSI. The POR is July 1, 

2006, through June 30, 2007. 

On December 10, 2008, we issued a 

notice correcting an error in the First 

Extension Notice. See Certain Hot– 

Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from 

Thailand: Correction to Notice of 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results of Changed Circumstances 

Review, 73 FR 75079 (December 10, 

2008). On February 5, 2009, the 

Department issued a notice correcting 

an error in the Preliminary Results. See 

Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon Steel Flat 

Products from Thailand: Correction to 

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review and Intent To 

Reinstate Sahaviriya Steel Industries 

Public Company Limited in the 

Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 6136 

(February 5, 2009). 

We invited interested parties to 

comment on the preliminary results of 

review. On February 4, 2009, we 

received comments from SSI, U.S. Steel 

Corporation (‘‘petitioner’’), and 

interested party Nucor Corporation 

(‘‘Nucor’’). On February 11, 2009, SSI, 

petitioner and Nucor filed rebuttal 

comments. At the request of SSI, we 

held a hearing on this changed 

circumstances review on February 19, 

2009. The Department has conducted 

this changed circumstances review in 

accordance with section 751(b) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’). 

Scope of the Order 

For purposes of the order, the 

products covered are certain hot–rolled 

carbon steel flat products of a 

rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5 inch 

or greater, neither clad, plated, nor 

coated with metal and whether or not 

painted, varnished, or coated with 

plastics or other non–metallic 

substances, in coils (whether or not in 

successively superimposed layers), 

regardless of thickness, and in straight 

lengths, of a thickness of less than 4.75 

mm and of a width measuring at least 

10 times the thickness. Universal mill 

plate (i.e., flat–rolled products rolled on 

four faces or in a closed box pass, of a 

width exceeding 150 mm, but not 

exceeding 1250 mm, and of a thickness 

of not less than 4.0 mm, not in coils and 

without patterns in relief) of a thickness 

not less than 4.0 mm is not included 

within the scope of the order. 

Specifically included within the 

scope of the order are vacuum degassed, 

fully stabilized (commonly referred to as 

interstitial–free (‘‘IF’’)) steels, high 

strength low alloy (‘‘HSLA’’) steels, and 

the substrate for motor lamination 

steels. IF steels are recognized as low 

carbon steels with micro–alloying levels 

of elements such as titanium or niobium 

(also commonly referred to as 

columbium), or both, added to stabilize 

carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA 

steels are recognized as steels with 

micro–alloying levels of elements such 

as chromium, copper, niobium, 

vanadium, and molybdenum. The 

substrate for motor lamination steels 

contains micro–alloying levels of 

elements such as silicon and aluminum. 

Steel products to be included in the 

scope of the order, regardless of 

definitions in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’), are products in which: i) 

iron predominates, by weight, over each 

of the other contained elements; ii) the 

carbon content is 2 percent or less, by 

weight; and iii) none of the elements 

listed below exceeds the quantity, by 

weight, respectively indicated: 

1.80 percent of manganese, or 

2.25 percent of silicon, or 

1.00 percent of copper, or 

0.50 percent of aluminum, or 

1.25 percent of chromium, or 

0.30 percent of cobalt, or 

0.40 percent of lead, or 

22886 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 93 / Friday, May 15, 2009 / Notices 

1.25 percent of nickel, or 

0.30 percent of tungsten, or 

0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 

0.10 percent of niobium, or 

0.15 percent of vanadium, or 

0.15 percent of zirconium.

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by SSI, 

petitioner, and Nucor are addressed in 

the ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’ 

(‘‘Decision Memorandum’’) from John 

M. Andersen, Acting Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Operations, to 

Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, 

dated May 7, 2009, which is adopted by 

this notice. A list of issues which parties 

have raised is in the Decision 

Memorandum and is attached to this 

notice as an appendix. Parties can find 

a complete discussion of all issues 

raised in this review and the 

corresponding recommendations in the 

Decision Memorandum which is on file 

in the Central Records Unit, Room 1117, 

of the main Commerce Building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Web at http:// 

www.ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy 

and the electronic version of the 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made 

certain changes to the margin 

calculations. These changes are 

discussed in the relevant sections of the 

Decision Memorandum and the 

Memorandum to the File from John K. 

Drury, Analysis Memorandum for the 

Final Results of Changed Circumstances 

Review of Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon 

Steel Flat Products from Thailand: 

Sahaviriya Steel Industries Public Co., 

Ltd. (‘‘SSI’’), dated May 7, 2009, 

(‘‘Analysis Memorandum’’). 

Specifically, for these final results: 

1) We adjusted the reported warranty 

expenses dividing the sum of three 

years of warranty expenses by the 

sum of total sales during the same 

three-year period. We multiplied 

the result by the gross unit price 

and applied the result to all home 

market sales. 

2) We have used SSI’s reported cost 

of goods sold, rather than the cost 

adjusted for cost of manufacture. 

3) We corrected a clerical error in the 

arm’s–length portion of the 

Department’s SAS program. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted–average margin percentage 

exists for the period July 1, 2006, 

through June 30, 2007: 

Manufacturer / Exporter Margin 

Sahaviriya Steel Industries Public Company 

Limited ....................... 9.04 percent 

Since we have established that hot– 

rolled steel from Thailand manufactured 

and exported by SSI is being sold at less 

than NV, SSI is hereby reinstated in the 

antidumping duty order effective upon 

the publication date of this notice. We 

will advise U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to collect a cash deposit 

equal to the margin listed above on all 

entries of the subject merchandise 

produced by SSI that are entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of these final results. This 

requirement shall remain in effect until 

publication of the final results of the 

next administrative review as to SSI. 

There are no changes to the rates 

applicable to any other companies 

under this antidumping duty order. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

The Department will disclose 

calculations performed in connection 

with the final results of review within 

five days of the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with 19 C.F.R. 

351.224(b). 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

disposition of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

determination in accordance with 

section 751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.216.
