Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate From Canada: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On September 4, 2001, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the preliminary results of its administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon 
steel plate (CTL plate) from Canada (66 FR 46258). This review covers 
one manufacturer/exporter of CTL plate, Clayson Steel Inc. (Clayson), 
for the period August 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999.
    We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on our 
preliminary results. No interested parties filed comments on the 
preliminary results and no request for a hearing was received by the 
Department. We have not changed the results from those presented in the 
preliminary results of review, and we will instruct the U.S. Customs 
Service to assess antidumping duties on suspended entries for Clayson 
at the rate determined in the preliminary results (see ``Final Results 
of Review'' section below).

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 19, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Hoadley at (202) 482-0666 or 
Julio Fernandez at (202) 482-0190, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act), as amended. In

regulations are to the regulations codified at 19 CFR part 351 (2000).

Background

    On September 4, 2001, the Department published the preliminary 
results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
CTL plate from Canada. See Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate 
From Canada: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 66 FR 46258 (September 4, 2001) (Preliminary Results). We 
invited parties to comment on our preliminary results of review. We 
received no comments on our preliminary results and have made no 
changes to our calculations. This review covers imports of subject 
merchandise from Clayson, a Canadian manufacturer/exporter. The period 
of review (POR) for Clayson is August 1, 1999 through December 31, 
1999. The Department is conducting this review in accordance with 
section 751 of the Act.

Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order

    CTL plate includes hot-rolled carbon steel universal mill plates 
(i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on four faces or in a closed box 
pass, of a width exceeding 150 millimeters but not exceeding 1,250 
millimeters and of a thickness of not less than 4 millimeters, not in 
coils and without patterns in relief), of rectangular shape, neither 
clad, plated nor coated with metal, whether or not painted, varnished, 
or coated with plastics or other nonmetallic substances; and certain 
hot-rolled carbon steel flat-rolled products in straight lengths, of 
rectangular shape, hot rolled, neither clad, plated, nor coated with 
metal, whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or 
other nonmetallic substances, 4.75 millimeters or more in thickness and 
of a width which exceeds 150 millimeters and measures at least twice 
the thickness, as currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item numbers 7208.40.3030, 
7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045, 7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000, 
7208.53.0000, 7208.90.0000, 7210.70.3000, 7210.90.9000, 7211.13.0000, 
7211.14.0030, 7211.14.0045, 7211.90.0000, 7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, 
and 7212.50.0000. Included in this review are flat-rolled products of 
non-rectangular cross-section where such cross-section is achieved 
subsequent to the rolling process (i.e., products which have been 
``worked after rolling'')--for example, products which have been 
beveled or rounded at the edges. Excluded from this review is grade X-
70 plate. Also excluded is cut-to-length carbon steel plate meeting the 
following criteria: (1) 100% dry steel plates, virgin steel, no scrap 
content (free of Cobalt-60 and other radioactive nuclides); (2) .290 
inches maximum thickness, plus 0.0, minus .030 inches; (3) 48.00 inch 
wide, plus .05, minus 0.0 inches; (4) 10 foot lengths, plus 0.5, minus 
0.0 inches; (5) flatness, plus/minus 0.5 inch over 10 feet; (6) AISI 
1006; (7) tension leveled; (8) pickled and oiled; and (9) carbon 
content, 0.03 to 0.08 (maximum).
    The HTSUS item numbers are provided for convenience and U.S. 
Customs Service (Customs) purposes. The written description remains 
dispositive of the scope of this review.

Period of Review

    The POR is August 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. See the ``Cash 
Deposit Requirements'' section below for an explanation of this 
truncated POR.

Comments From Interested Parties and Changes Since the Preliminary 
Results

    We received no comments from interested parties in response to our 
preliminary results. We have made no changes in the margin 
calculations.

Final Results of Review

    The Department has not altered its determination from the 
Preliminary Results. The weighted-average margin for Clayson is 1.37 
percent for the period August 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999.
    The Department shall determine, and Customs shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. We will direct Customs 
to assess the resulting percentage against the entered Customs values 
for the subject merchandise on each entry of subject merchandise during 
the POR.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    As a result of a sunset review by the ITC, the Department has 
revoked the antidumping duty order for CTL plate from Canada, effective 
January 1, 2000. See Revocation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Orders on Certain Carbon Steel Products From Canada, Germany, Korea, 
the Netherlands, and Sweden, 65 FR 78467 (December 15, 2000) 
(Revocation Notice). Therefore, we have instructed Customs to terminate 
suspension of liquidation for all entries of CTL plate made on or after 
January 1, 2000, and further calculation of antidumping cash deposit 
requirements for this merchandise is no longer necessary.

Notification of Interested Parties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under section 351.402(f) of our regulations 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 the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO as explained in the administrative order itself. 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    These final results of administrative review are issued and 
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1) and 19 U.S.C. 1677f(i)(1)).

    Dated: November 9, 2001.
