Stainless Steel Plate in Coils From Italy: Revocation of 
Antidumping Duty Order

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

SUMMARY: On June 2, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated a second sunset review of the antidumping duty order on 
stainless steel plate in coils (SSPC) from Italy. See Initiation of 
Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 75 FR 30777 (June 2, 2010) (Initiation). 
Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), the International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that 
revocation of this order would not be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Stainless Steel Plate From 
Belgium, Italy, Korea, South Africa, and Taiwan, 76 FR 50495 (August 
15, 2011) (ITC Final). Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(iii), the Department is revoking the 
antidumping duty order on SSPC from Italy.

DATES: Effective Date: July 18, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 2, 2010, the Department published the notice of initiation 
of the sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on SSPC from 
Belgium, Italy, Korea, South Africa, and Taiwan pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act. See Initiation.
    On July 20, 2011, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of 
the Act, that revocation of this order would not be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See ITC Final and 
Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Belgium, Italy, Korea, South 
Africa, and Taiwan (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-379 and 731-TA-788, 790-793

Scope of the Order

    Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing, by weight, 1.2 
percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or 
without other elements. The subject plate products are flat-rolled 
products, 254 mm or over in width and 4.75 mm or more in thickness, in 
coils, and annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise 
descaled. The subject plate may also be further processed (e.g., cold-
rolled, polished, etc.) provided that it maintains the specified 
dimensions of plate following such processing. Excluded from the scope 
of the order are the following: (1) Plate not in coils, (2) plate that 
is not annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise 
descaled, (3) sheet and strip, and (4) flat bars.

Revocation

    As a result of the determination by the ITC that revocation of the 
order is not likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of 
material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department, 
pursuant to section 751(d) of the Act, is revoking the antidumping duty 
order on SSPC from Italy. Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation is July 18, 
2010 (i.e., the fifth anniversary of the date of publication in the 
Federal Register of the notice of continuation of the antidumping duty 
order). The Department will notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to discontinue suspension of liquidation and collection of cash 
deposits on entries of SSPC from Italy entered or withdrawn from 
warehouse on or after July 18, 2010, the effective date of revocation 
of the antidumping duty order. The Department will further instruct CBP 
to refund with interest any cash deposits on entries made on or after 
July 18, 2010.
    This revocation and notice are issued in accordance with section 
751(d)(2) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2).
