Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the Order is seamless steel cylinders 
designed for storage or transport of compressed or liquefied gas (high 
pressure steel cylinders). High pressure steel cylinders are fabricated 
of chrome alloy steel including, but not limited to, chromium-
molybdenum steel or chromium magnesium steel, and have permanently 
impressed into the steel, either before or after importation, the 
symbol of a U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous 
Materials Safety Administration (DOT)-approved high pressure steel 
cylinder manufacturer, as well as an approved DOT type marking of DOT 
3A, 3AX, 3AA, 3AAX, 3B, 3E, 3HT, 3T, or DOT-E (followed by a specific 
exemption number) in accordance with the requirements of sections 
178.36 through 178.68 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
or any subsequent amendments thereof. High pressure steel cylinders 
covered by the Order have a water capacity up to 450 liters, and a gas 
capacity ranging from 8 to 702 cubic feet, regardless of corresponding 
service pressure levels and regardless of physical dimensions, finish 
or coatings.
    Excluded from the scope of the Order are high pressure steel 
cylinders manufactured to UN-ISO-9809-1 and 2 specifications and 
permanently impressed with ISO or UN symbols. Also excluded from the 
Order are acetylene cylinders, with or without internal porous mass, 
and permanently impressed with 8A or 8AL in accordance with DOT 
regulations.
    Merchandise covered by the Order is classified in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 
7311.00.00.30. Subject merchandise may also enter under HTSUS 
subheadings 7311.00.00.60 or 7311.00.00.90.

Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written description of the merchandise under the Order is 
dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    A complete discussion of all issues raised in this sunset review, 
including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in 
the event of revocation of the AD Order and the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail if the AD Order were revoked, is provided in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this 
notice.\5\ A list of topics included in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice. 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 Services System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at http://access.trade.gov and to all parties in the 
Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, the

magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-
average dumping margins up to 31.21 percent.
