Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: 
Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From the Netherlands

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to requests from Nucor Corporation, International 
Steel Group Inc. (ISG) and United States Steel Corporation (USSC) 
(collectively, petitioners), the U.S. Department of Commerce (the 
Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from the 
Netherlands for Corus Staal BV (Corus) for the period November 1, 2003, 
through October 31, 2004. No other interested party requested a review 
of Corus for this period of review. For the reasons discussed below, 
the Department is rescinding this administrative review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 27, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Cordell at (202) 482-0408 or 
Robert James at (202) 482-0649, AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 1, 2004, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from the 
Netherlands, (69 FR 63359). On November 30, 2004, we received requests 
from petitioners USSC, ISG and Nucor to conduct an administrative 
review of Corus' sales of certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products 
to the United States during the period November 1, 2003, through 
October 31, 2004. On December 27, 2004, the Department initiated an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-
rolled carbon steel flat products from the Netherlands for the period 
November 1, 2003, through October 31, 2004, in order to determine 
whether merchandise imported into the United States was sold at less 
than fair value by Corus. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Requests for Revocations 
in Part, 69 FR 77181 (December 27, 2004).
    On March 28, 2005, ISG withdrew its request for review. In response 
to requests from USSC and Nucor, the Department extended the 90-day 
deadline for parties to withdraw their requests for review. See Letter 
to USSC, March 28, 2005 and Memos to the File dated March 30, 2005, and 
March 31, 2005. On April 4, 2005, both USSC and Nucor withdrew their 
requests for the instant review.

Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws at a later date if the Department determines that 
it is reasonable to extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. 
As all parties that requested this review have withdrawn those 
requests, this review is rescinded. The Department will issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection upon the lifting of the Preliminary Injunction which was 
issued by the Court of International Trade on March 19, 2002.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under section 351.402(f) of the Department's 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 
assumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and 
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with section 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's 
regulations. 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.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) of the Department's 
regulations.

    Dated: April 21, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
