SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat 
Products from Canada. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). On August 30, 
2006, Stelco Inc. (Stelco) timely requested that the Department conduct 
an administrative review of Stelco. On August 31, 2006, U.S. Steel 
(petitioner), timely requested that the Department conduct an 
administrative review of Dofasco Inc., Sorevco Inc., and Do Sol Galva., 
Partnership (hereinafter referred to as Dofasco), and Stelco. Shortly 
thereafter, the Department published a notice of the initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review of Corrosion-Resistant Carbon 
Steel Flat Products from Canada for the period August 1, 2005 through 
July 31, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). On December 
28, 2006, petitioner withdrew its request for this administrative 
review with respect to respondents Dofasco and Stelco; on January 3, 
2006, Stelco withdrew its request for an administrative review. Dofasco 
did not request an administrative review for this period.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at section 351.213(d)(1) 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 its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. Petitioner submitted its request for 
withdrawal for Dofasco and Stelco in a timely manner. In addition, 
although Stelco withdrew its request after the 90-day deadline, the 
Department finds it reasonable to extend the withdrawal deadline for 
Stelco because the Department has not yet devoted any significant time 
and resources to this review. Furthermore, we find that Stelco's 
withdrawal does not constitute an abuse of our procedures. Therefore, 
the Department is rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat 
Products from Canada for the period August 1, 2005 through July 31, 
2006. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection 41 days after the date of publication of 
this rescission of administrative review. See section 356.8(a) of the 
Department's regulations.

Notification Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: January 9, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
