Steel Flat Products from Canada: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On September 11, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of its administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat

Certain Corrosion–Resistant Carbon
Steel Flat Products from Canada:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR
53363 (September 11, 2006)
(Preliminary Results). The review covers
shipments of this merchandise to the
United States for the period August 1,
2004 through July 31, 2005, made by
Dofasco Inc., Sorevco Inc. (Sorevco),
and Do Sol Galva Ltd. (collectively
Dofasco), and by Stelco Inc.
We gave interested parties an
opportunity to comment on our
Preliminary Results. Based on our
analysis of comments, we have made
changes in the margin calculations.
Therefore, the final results differ from
the preliminary results. For the final
dumping margins, see the ‘‘Final Results
of Review’’ section below.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 19, 2007.

Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is certain
corrosion–resistant steel, and includes
flat–rolled carbon steel products, of
rectangular shape, either clad, plated, or
coated with corrosion–resistant metals
such as zinc, aluminum, or zinc-,
aluminum-, nickel- or iron–based alloys,
whether or not corrugated or painted,
varnished or coated with plastics or
other nonmetallic substances in
addition to the metallic coating, in coils
(whether or not in successively
superimposed layers) and of a width of
0.5 inch or greater, or in straight lengths
which, if of a thickness less than 4.75
millimeters, are of a width of 0.5 inch
or greater and which measures at least
10 times the thickness or if of a
thickness of 4.75 millimeters or more
are 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 7210.30.0030, 7210.30.0060,

Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Included in this order are corrosion–
resistant 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 order are flat–rolled
steel products either plated or coated

in addition to the metallic coating. Also
excluded from this order are clad
products in straight lengths of 0.1875
inch or more in composite thickness
and of a width which exceeds 150
millimeters and measures at least twice
the thickness. Also excluded from this
order are certain clad stainless flat-

layered corrosion–resistant carbon steel
flat–rolled products less than 4.75
millimeters in composite thickness that
consist of a carbon steel flat–rolled
product clad on both sides with
stainless steel in a 20%-60%-20% ratio.
Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs submitted by parties to
this administrative review are addressed
in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Results of
the Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Corrosion–Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products from Canada, from Stephen J.
Claeys to David M. Spooner, dated
March 12, 2007 (Issues and Decision
Memorandum), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. The Issues and
Decisions Memorandum is on file in the
Central Records Unit (CRU), room B–
099 of the Department of Commerce
main building and can be accessed
directly at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The
paper copy and electronic version of the
Issues and Decisions Memorandum are
identical in content. A list of the issues
addressed in the Issues and Decisions
Memorandum is appended to this
notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we have made minor
adjustments in the methodology that
was used in the Preliminary Results and
corrected certain calculation errors. The
adjustments are discussed in detail in
the Issues and Decisions Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
determine that the following weighted–
average dumping margins exist for the
period August 1, 2004 through July 31,
2005:
Weighted Average
Manufacturer/Exporter Margin
Dofasco Inc., Sorevco,
Inc., Do Sol Galva
Ltd. ............................ 5.25 percent

Weighted Average
Manufacturer/Exporter Margin
Stelco Inc. ..................... 1.51 percent
Assessment
The Department will determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries, pursuant to
section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.212(b). The Department
calculated importer- specific duty
assessment rates (or, when the importer
was unknown by the respondent,
customer–specific duty assessment
rates) on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales
observations involving each importer to
the total entered value of the examined
sales observations for that importer.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 356.8(a), the
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 41 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did
not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the ‘‘All
Others’’ rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. For a discussion of this
clarification, see Notice of Policy
Concerning Assessment of Antidumping
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposits
Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the
Department revoked this order and
notified U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to discontinue suspension of
liquidation and collection of cash
deposits on entries of the subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from
warehouse on or after December 15,
2005, the effective date of revocation of
this AD order. See Revocation Pursuant
to Second Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews
of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Orders: Certain Corrosion–
Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products
from Australia, Canada, Japan, and
France, 72 FR 7010 (February 14, 2007).
ycherry on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Certificate on Reimbursement
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:50 Mar 16, 2007 Jkt 211001
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 antidumping duties
occurred, and in the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders.
This notice is the only reminder to
parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return or 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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results and this notice in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Tariff Act of 1930.
Dated: March 12, 2007.

Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.

SUMMARY: On March 10, 2007, the
appeals period expired with respect to
a decision of the United States Court of
International Trade (‘‘CIT’’), which had
sustained the final results in part, and
the remand determination in part, of the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) in the administrative
review of the antidumping duty orders
on heavy forged hand tools (‘‘HFHTs’’)
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’), covering the period February
1, 2001, through January 31, 2002. See
Shandong Huarong Machinery Co. v.
United States and Ames True Temper,
Slip Op. 07–3 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2007)
(‘‘Shandong Huarong II’’). As there is
now a final court decision, we are
amending the final results of the review
in this matter. We will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to liquidate entries subject to these
amended final results.
