SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 19, 1993, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register (58 FR 61065) the preliminary results 
of its administrative review of the countervailing duty order on 
certain carbon steel products from Sweden (50 FR 41547; October 4, 
1985). The Department has now completed this review in accordance with 
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of Review

    Imports covered by this review are shipments from Sweden of cold-
rolled carbon steel flat-rolled products, whether or not corrugated or 
crimped; whether or not pickled, not cut, not pressed and not stamped 
to non-rectangular shape; not coated or plated with metal and not clad; 
over 12 inches in width and of any thickness; whether or not in coils. 
During the period of review this merchandise was classified under item 
numbers 7209.11.00, 7209.12.00, 7209.13.00, 7209.21.00, 7209.22.00, 
7209.23.00, 7209.24.50, 7209.31.00, 7209.32.00, 7209.33.00, 7209.34.00, 
7209.41.00, 7209.43.00, 7209.44.00, 7209.90.00, 7211.30.50, 7211.41.70 
and 7211.49.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). The HTS item 
numbers are provided for convenience and Customs purposes. The written 
description remains dispositive.
    The review covers the period January 1, 1991 through December 31, 
1991 and twelve programs. Svenskt Stal AB (SSAB) was the only Swedish 
producer and/or exporter of the subject merchandise that exported to 
the United States during the review period.

Analysis of Programs

    We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the 
preliminary results. We received no comments.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of our review, we determine the net subsidy to be 4.27 
percent ad valorem during the period January 1, 1991 through December 
31, 1991.
    Therefore, the Department will instruct the Customs Service to 
assess countervailing duties of 4.27 percent of the f.o.b. invoice 
price on all shipments of this merchandise exported on or after January 
1, 1991 and on or before December 31, 1991. The Department will also 
instruct the Customs Service to collect a cash deposit of estimated 
countervailing duties of 4.27 percent of the f.o.b. invoice price of 
all shipments of the subject merchandise from Sweden entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of this notice. This deposit requirement shall remain in 
effect until publication of the final results of the next 
administrative review.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675 (a)(1)) and 19 CFR 355.22.

    Dated: February 3, 1994.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
