SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on April 4, 2017, the Department published its affirmative final determinations in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.\1\ On May 18, 2017, the ITC notified the Department of its affirmative determination, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of the LTFV imports of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and its determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of subject merchandise from Austria, Belgium, and Italy that are subject to the Department's affirmative critical circumstances findings.\2\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Austria: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 82 FR 16366 (April 4, 2017); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Belgium: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part, 82 FR 16378 (April 4, 2017); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to- Length Plate from France: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 82 FR 16363 (April 4, 2017) (France Final); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 82 FR 16360 (April 4, 2017) (Germany Final); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from Italy: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 82 FR 16345 (April 4, 2017); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from Japan: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 82 FR 16349 (April 4, 2017); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from the Republic of Korea: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Negative Critical Circumstances Determination, 82 FR 16369 (April 4, 2017) (Korea Final); and Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Taiwan: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances Final, 82 FR 16372 (April 4, 2017) (Taiwan Final). \2\ See Letter regarding CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan Australia, Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Portugal (May 18, 2017) (ITC Letter). See also Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan Investigation Nos. 701-TA-561 and 731-TA-1317-1318, 1321-1325, and 1327 (Final) USITC Publication 4691 (May 2017) (ITC Report). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by these orders is certain CTL plate. See Appendix A for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, and Italy, Appendix B for Korea, Appendix C for Japan, and Appendix D for Taiwan. Amendment to Final Determinations A ministerial error is defined as an error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers ministerial.\3\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ See section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- France Amended Final Determination Pursuant to section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (f), the Department is amending the France Final to reflect the correction of ministerial errors in the final estimated weighted- average dumping margin calculated for Dillinger France S.A. (Dillinger France). In addition, because Dillinger France's estimated weighted- average dumping margin is the basis for the estimated weighted-average dumping margin determined for all other French producers and exporters of subject merchandise, we also are revising the ``all-others'' rate in France Final.\4\ \5\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ See ``Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins'' section below. \5\ See Memorandum, ``Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from France: Allegation of Ministerial Error in the Final Determination,'' dated April 28, 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Germany Amended Final Determination Pursuant to section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (f), the Department is amending the Germany Final to reflect the correction of a ministerial error in the final estimated weighted- average dumping margin calculated for AG der Dillinger H[uuml]ttenwerke (Dillinger Germany). In addition, because the Department determined the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other German producers and exporters of subject merchandise based on a weighted- average of the respondents' estimated weighted-average dumping margins using publicly-ranged quantities for their sales of subject [[Page 24097]] merchandise, we also are revising the ``all-others'' rate in Germany Final.\6\ \7\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ See the ``Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins'' section below. \7\ See Memorandum, ``Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Germany: Allegation of Ministerial Error in the Final Determination,'' dated May 2, 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Korea Amended Final Determination Pursuant to section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (f), the Department is amending the Korea Final to reflect the correction of ministerial errors in the final estimated weighted- average dumping margin calculated for POSCO. In addition, because POSCO's estimated weighted-average dumping margin is the basis for the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other Korean producers and exporters of subject merchandise, we also are revising the ``all-others'' rate in Korea Final.8 9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ See the ``Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins'' section below. \9\ See Memorandum, ``Antidumping Duty Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from the Republic of Korea: Allegation of Ministerial Error in the Final Determination,'' dated concurrently with this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taiwan Amended Final Determination Pursuant to section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (f), the Department is amending the Taiwan Final to reflect the correction of a ministerial error in the final estimated weighted- average dumping margin calculated for China Steel Corporation. In addition, because the Department determined the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other Taiwanese producers and exporters of subject merchandise based on a simple average of the respondents' estimated weighted-average dumping margins, we also are revising the ``all-others'' rate in Taiwan Final.10 11 In addition, in the Taiwan Final, we identified an error in the scope language for Taiwan included in the Appendix. See Appendix D, below, for the corrected scope language. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \10\ See the ``Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins'' section below. \11\ See Memorandum, ``Amended Final Determination of the Less- Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to- Length Plate from Taiwan: Allegation of Ministerial Error for China Steel Corporation,'' dated concurrently with this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antidumping Duty Orders As stated above, on May 18, 2017, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its determination that the industry in the United States producing CTL plate is materially injured with respect to CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan and its determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of subject merchandise from Austria, Belgium, and Italy that are subject to the Department's affirmative critical circumstances finding \12\ Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \12\ See ITC Letter and ITC Report. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the NV of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 14, 2016, the date of publication of the preliminary determinations,\13\ but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication in the Federal Register of the ITC's injury determination as further described below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \13\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Austria: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of the Final Determination, 81 FR 79416 (November 14, 2016) (Austria Prelim); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To- Length Plate from Belgium: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 81 FR 79431 (November 14, 2016) (Belgium Prelim); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from France: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 81 FR 79437 (November 14, 2016) (France Prelim); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 81 FR 79446 (November 14, 2016) (Germany Prelim); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Italy: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, and Postponement of Final Determination, 81 FR 79423 (November 14, 2016) (Italy Prelim); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from Japan: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 81 FR 79427 (November 14, 2016) (Japan Prelim); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from the Republic of Korea: Affirmative Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 81 FR 79441 (November 14, 2016) (Korea Prelim); and Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To- Length Plate from Taiwan: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 81 FR 79420 (November 14, 2016) (Taiwan Prelim). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties equal to the amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the ITC's affirmative injury determinations, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins listed below.\14\ The relevant ``all-others'' rates apply to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \14\ See section 736(a)(3) of the Act. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of exports of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, we extended the four-month period to six months in each proceeding.\15\ In the underlying investigations, the Department published the preliminary determinations on November 14, 2016. Therefore, the extended period, beginning on the date of publication of the preliminary determinations, ended on May 12, 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \15\ See Austria Prelim, Belgium Prelim, France Prelim, Germany Prelim, Italy Prelim, Japan Prelim, Korea Prelim, and Taiwan Prelim. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice, we [[Page 24098]] will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May 12, 2017, the date on which the provisional measures expired, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's determination in the Federal Register. Critical Circumstances With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances determination on imports of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium, and Italy, we will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 16, 2016 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of publication of the Austria Prelim, Belgium Prelim, and Italy Prelim), but before November 14, 2016 (i.e., the date of publication of the Austria Prelim, Belgium Prelim, and Italy Prelim).

Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. APPENDICES (A) Scope of the Orders for CTL Plate From Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, and Italy The products covered by these orders 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 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 [[Page 24099]] 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 order 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 order 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 order 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 order: (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 incorporates one of the following specifications:MIL-A-12560, MIL-DTL-12560H, MIL-DTL-12560J, MIL-DTL-12560K, MIL-DTL-32332, MIL-A-46100D, MIL-DTL-46100-E, MIL-46177C, MIL-S-16216K Grade HY80, MIL-S-16216K Grade HY100, MIL-S-24645A HSLA-80; MIL-S-24645A HSLA-100, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HY80, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HY100, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HSLA80, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HSLA100, and T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Mod.

The HTSUS subheadings above are provided for convenience and customs purposes only. The written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. (D) Scope of the Order for CTL Plate From Taiwan The products covered by this order 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 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 unless the product is already covered by an order existing on that specific country (i.e. Notice of Antidumping Duty Order; Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From Taiwan, 66 FR 59563 (November 29, 2001)); 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 order 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 order 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 order 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 order: (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 incorporates one of the following specifications: [[Page 24103]] MIL-A-12560, MIL-DTL-12560H, MIL-DTL-12560J, MIL-DTL-12560K, MIL-DTL-32332, MIL-A-46100D, MIL-DTL-46100-E, MIL-46177C, MIL-S-16216K Grade HY80, MIL-S-16216K Grade HY100, MIL-S-24645A HSLA-80; MIL-S-24645A HSLA-100, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HY80, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HY100, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HSLA80, T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Grade HSLA100, and T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 Mod.
