CVD Operations Office III, Enforcement and Compliance, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
1167 and (202) 482-6071, respectively.

Background

    On September 10, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results. The POR is December 1, 2013, through November 30, 2014. We 
invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. We 
received no comments from any party. The Department conducted this 
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

    For purposes of this order, the products covered are certain hot-
rolled carbon steel flat products of a rectangular shape, of a width of 
0.5 inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor coated with metal and 
whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other 
non-metallic substances, in coils (whether or not in successively 
superimposed layers), regardless of thickness, and in straight lengths 
of a thickness of less than 4.75 mm and of a width measuring at least 
10 times the thickness. Universal mill plate (i.e., flat-rolled 
products rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width 
exceeding 150 mm, but not exceeding 1250 mm, and of a thickness of not 
less than 4.0 mm, not in coils and without patterns in relief) of a 
thickness not less than 4.0 mm is not included within the scope of this 
order.
    Specifically included in the scope of this order are vacuum-
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free 
(IF)) steels, high-strength

[[Page 1166]]

low-alloy (HSLA) steels, and the substrate for motor lamination steels. 
IF steels are recognized as low-carbon steels with micro-alloying 
levels of elements such as titanium or niobium (also commonly referred 
to as columbium), or both, added to stabilize carbon and nitrogen 
elements. HSLA steels are recognized as steels with micro-alloying 
levels of elements such as chromium, copper, niobium, vanadium, and 
molybdenum. The substrate for motor lamination steels contains micro-
alloying levels of elements such as silicon and aluminum.
    Steel products included in the scope of this order, regardless of 
definitions in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS), are products in which: (i) Iron predominates, by weight, over 
each of the other contained elements; (ii) the carbon content is 2 
percent or less, by weight; and (iii) none of the elements listed below 
exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated:

1.80 percent of manganese, or
2.25 percent of silicon, or
1.00 percent of copper, or
0.50 percent of aluminum, or
1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or
1.25 percent of nickel, or
0.30 percent of tungsten, or
0.10 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or
0.15 percent of zirconium

    All products that meet the physical and chemical description 
provided above are within the scope of this order unless otherwise 
excluded. The following products, by way of example, are outside or 
specifically excluded from the scope of this order:
     Alloy hot-rolled carbon steel products in which at least 
one of the chemical elements exceeds those listed above (including, 
e.g., American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications 
A543, A387, A514, A517, A506).
     Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)/American Iron & 
Steel Institute (AISI) grades of series 2300 and higher.
     Ball bearings steels, as defined in the HTSUS.

under 7210.70.30.00, 7210.90.90.00, 7211.14.00.30, 7212.40.10.00, 
7212.40.50.00, and 7212.50.00.00. Although the HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the Department's written 
description of the merchandise subject to this proceeding is 
dispositive.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    As noted above, the Department received no comments concerning the 
Preliminary Results on the record of this segment of the proceeding. As 
there are no changes from, or comments on, the Preliminary Results, the 
Department finds that there is no reason to modify its analysis. Thus, 
we continue to find that Ispat, JSW, JSW Ispat, and Tata had no 
shipments of the subject merchandise, and, therefore, no reviewable 
transactions, during the POR. Accordingly, no decision memorandum 
accompanies this Federal Register notice. For further details of the 
issues addressed in this proceeding, see the Preliminary Results and 
the accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\2\

Enforcement and Compliance, from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, titled 
``Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from India: Decision 
Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review; 2013-2014,'' dated September 2, 2015 
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum). The Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum can be accessed directly at: http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative review, 
the Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries, in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212. The Department intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the 
final results of this review.
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003.\3\ If applicable, this clarification will apply to all 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced or exported by 
Ispat, JSW, JSW Ispat, and Tata, for which these companies did not know 
that its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such 
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate these un-reviewed entries 
at the all others rate established in the less-than fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation, as amended, which is 38.72 percent,\4\ if there is no 
rate for the intermediary company(ies) involved in the transaction. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.\5\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication of the final results of 
this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the 
Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for respondents noted above, which 
claimed no shipments, will remain unchanged from the rates assigned to

[[Page 1167]]

the companies in the most recently completed review of the companies; 
(2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered 
in this administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of 
the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 38.72 percent, the all-
others rate established in the Amended Final Determination. These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in the Department's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping 
duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

    Dated: December 30, 2015.
