SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 14, 2016, the Department published the Preliminary 
Determination of sales at LTFV of CTL plate from Italy.\1\ A summary of 
the events that occurred since the Department published the Preliminary 
Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by 
parties for this final determination, may be found in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice.\2\

    \2\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the 
Final Affirmative Determination in the Less-Than-Fair-Value 
Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate 
From Italy,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this 
notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Investigation

    The scope of the investigation covers CTL plate from Italy. For a 
complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix I.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 
this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 
A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as Appendix II. 
The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file 
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov, 
and it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room B-
8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a 
complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed 
directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and 
electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical 
in content.

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, (the Act) in November 2016, we conducted verification of the 
sales and cost information submitted by Officine Tecnosider s.r.l. 
(OTS) for use in our final determination. We used standard verification 
procedures, including an examination of relevant accounting and 
production records, and original source documents provided by OTS.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For discussion of our verification findings, see the 
following memoranda: Memorandum, ``Verification of the Sales 
Response of Officine Tecnosider S.R.L. in the Antidumping 
Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate 
from Italy,'' dated January 17, 2017; and Memorandum, ``Verification 
of the Cost Response of Officine Tecnosider S.r.l. in the 
Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel 
Cut-to-Length Plate from Italy,'' dated January 23, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, as provided in section 782(i) of the Act, in November 
2016 and January 2017, we also attempted to verify the sales and cost 
information submitted by NLMK Verona SpA (NVR), using standard 
verification procedures. However, as explained in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum, the Department was unable to validate the accuracy 
of NVR's reporting.\4\ As a consequence, we find that NVR's reported 
data are unverifiable, and, thus, cannot serve as a reliable basis for 
reaching a determination in this investigation. Specifically, because 
we encountered so many errors within NVR's reported data at 
verification, and the submitted sales and cost information is integral 
to the proper evaluation of its margin calculation, we find that all of 
the information submitted by NVR is unverifiable. For further 
discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comments 1-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For discussion of our verification findings, see the 
following memoranda: Memorandum, ``Verification of the Sales 
Response of NLMK Verona SpA in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of 
Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length (CTL) Plate from 
Italy,'' dated January 11, 2017; Memorandum, ``Verification of the 
Sales Response of NLMK North America Plate in the Antidumping Duty 
Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length (CTL) 
Plate from Italy,'' dated January 25, 2017; and Memorandum, 
``Verification of the Cost Response of NLMK Verona SpA in the 
Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel 
Cut-to-Length Plate from Italy,'' dated January 18, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at 
verification, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for 
OTS. For a discussion of these changes, see the ``Margin Calculations'' 
section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances

    For the Preliminary Determination, the Department found that 
critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of CTL plate from 
Marcegaglia, NVR, and OTS, and do not exist with respect to companies 
covered by the ``all others'' rate.\5\ We modified our critical 
circumstances findings for the final determination and now determine 
that critical circumstances exist for ``all others.'' For further 
discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at ``Critical 
Circumstances.'' Thus, pursuant to section 735(a)(3)(B) of the Act, and 
19 CFR 351.206(h)(1)-(2), we find that critical circumstances exist 
with respect to subject merchandise produced or exported by 
Marcegaglia, NVR, OTS, and ``all others.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Preliminary Determination, and accompanying Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum, at 5-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adverse Facts Available

    In the Preliminary Determination, because mandatory respondent 
Marcegaglia SpA (Marcegaglia) failed to respond to the Department's 
questionnaire and informed the Department that it would not participate 
in this investigation,\6\ we applied

[[Page 16346]]

adverse facts available (AFA) to these respondents, in accordance with 
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. We were able to 
corroborate the petition dumping margin of 130.63 percent to the extent 
practicable within the meaning of section 776(c) of the Act using the 
highest transaction-specific dumping margins calculated for NVR \7\ 
and, thus, we assigned this dumping margin to Marcegaglia as AFA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce from Marcegaglia 
``Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Italy, Antidumping 
Investigation, Case No. A-475-834: Letter Regarding Respondent 
Selection and Initial Antidumping Questionnaire'' (June 15, 2016).
    \7\ Id., at 25.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department received no comments regarding its preliminary 
application of the AFA dumping margin to Marcegaglia. For the final 
determination, the Department has not altered its analysis or its 
decision to apply the AFA to Marcegaglia, but for the reasons explained 
below, the petition margin can no longer be corroborated and, thus, we 
assigned to Marcegaglia a different dumping margin.
    Additionally, due to its failures at verification, we determine 
that NVR's data cannot serve as a reliable basis for reaching a 
determination in this investigation and that NVR did not act to the 
best of its ability to comply with our requests for information. 
Therefore, we also find it appropriate to apply the AFA dumping margin 
to NVR. For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum 
at Comments 1-4.
    Finally, for the final determination, because NVR's information is 
no longer available for use in corroborating the petition rate, as AFA, 
we assigned to Marcegaglia and NVR the highest transaction-specific 
dumping margin calculated for OTS. For further discussion, see the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 4.

All-Others Rate

    Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated all-
others rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters 
and producers individually investigated excluding any zero or de 
minimis margins, and margins determined entirely under section 776 of 
the Act. OTS is the only respondent for which the Department calculated 
a company-specific margin that is not zero, de minimis, or based 
entirely on facts otherwise available. Therefore, for purposes of 
determining the ``all-others'' rate and pursuant to section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we are using the dumping margin calculated for 
OTS, as referenced in the ``Final Determination'' section below.

Final Determination

    The final weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average

                                                               (percent)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the 
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department 
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 
suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of CTL plate from Italy, 
as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 14, 
2016, the date of publication of the preliminary determination of this 
investigation in the Federal Register. For entries made by Marcegaglia, 
NVR, and OTS, in accordance with section 735(c)(4)(B) of the Act, 
because we continue to find that critical circumstances exist, we will 
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate 
entries of CTL plate from Italy which were entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after August 16, 2016, which is 90 
days prior to the date of publication of the preliminary determination 
of this investigation in the Federal Register. Additionally, for 
entries made by the companies covered by the ``all others'' rate, in 
accordance with section 735(c)(4)(B) of the Act, because we find that 
critical circumstances exist, we will instruct CBP to suspend 
liquidation of all appropriate entries of CTL plate from Italy which 
were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
August 16, 2016, which is 90 days prior to the date of publication of 
the preliminary determination of this investigation in the Federal 
Register.
    Further, the Department will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 
equal to the estimated amount by which the normal value exceeds the 
U.S. price as shown above.

International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
ITC of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because 
the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in 
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its 
final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United 
States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by 
reason of imports of CTL plate from Italy no later than 45 days after 
our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or 
threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be 
terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC 
determines that such injury does exist, the Department will issue an 
antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further 
instruction by the Department, antidumping duties on all imports of the 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of 
liquidation.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (APO)

    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of their 
responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 
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.
    This determination and this notice are issued and published 
pursuant to sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 29, 2017.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are certain carbon 
and alloy steel hot-rolled or forged flat plate products not in 
coils, whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or 
other non-metallic substances (cut-to-length plate). Subject 
merchandise includes plate that is produced by being cut-to-length 
from coils or from other discrete length plate and plate that is 
rolled or forged into a discrete length. The products covered 
include (1) Universal mill plates (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

[[Page 16347]]

mm, and of a thickness of not less than 4 mm, which are not in coils 
and without patterns in relief), and (2) hot-rolled or forged flat 
steel products of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more and of a width 
which exceeds 150 mm and measures at least twice the thickness, and 
which are not in coils, whether or not with patterns in relief. The 
covered products described above may be rectangular, square, 
circular or other shapes and include products of either rectangular 
or non-rectangular cross-section where such non-rectangular cross-
section is achieved subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., 
products which have been ``worked after rolling'' (e.g., products 
which have been beveled or rounded at the edges).
    For purposes of the width and thickness requirements referenced 
above, the following rules apply:
    (1) Except where otherwise stated where the nominal and actual 
thickness or width measurements vary, a product from a given subject 
country is within the scope if application of either the nominal or 
actual measurement would place it within the scope based on the 
definitions set forth above; and
    (2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product 
(e.g., the thickness of certain products with non-rectangular cross-
section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape, 
etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies.
    Steel products included in the scope of this investigation are 
products in which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of 
the other contained elements; and (2) the carbon content is 2 
percent or less by weight.
    Subject merchandise includes cut-to-length plate that has been 
further processed in the subject country or a third country, 
including but not limited to pickling, oiling, levelling, annealing, 
tempering, temper rolling, skin passing, painting, varnishing, 
trimming, cutting, punching, beveling, and/or slitting, or any other 
processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the 
scope of the investigation if performed in the country of 
manufacture of the cut-to-length plate.
    All products that meet the written physical description, are 
within the scope of this investigation unless specifically excluded 
or covered by the scope of an existing order. The following products 
are outside of, and/or specifically excluded from, the scope of this 
investigation:
    (1) Products clad, plated, or coated with metal, whether or not 
painted, varnished or coated with plastic or other non-metallic 
substances;
    (2) military grade armor plate certified to one of the following 
specifications or to a specification that references and
