SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

[[Page 8912]]

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 December 5, 
2016, the Department published its affirmative final determinations in 
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of CTL plate from 
Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey.\1\ On January 19, 2017, the ITC 
notified the Department of its affirmative determination 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 Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey, and of its 
determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to 
imports of subject merchandise from Brazil and Turkey that are subject 
to the Department's affirmative critical circumstances findings.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate From 
Brazil, South Africa, and the Republic of Turkey: Affirmative Final 
Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Affirmative 
Final Determinations of Critical Circumstances for Brazil and the 
Republic of Turkey, 81 FR 87544 (December 5, 2016) (Final 
Determinations).
    \2\ See Letter to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, from Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Chairman 
of the International Trade Commission, entitled, ``Notification of 
International Trade Commission'', dated January 19, 2017 (ITC 
Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Orders

    The product covered by these orders is CTL plate. For a complete 
description for the scope of the Brazil and Turkey orders, see Appendix 
I of this notice. For a complete description for the scope of the South 
Africa order, see Appendix II of this notice.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Due to the possibility of overlapping coverage between the 
scopes of the CTL Plate antidumping duty orders for Brazil and 
Turkey and pre-existing antidumping duty orders on Certain Hot-
Rolled Steel Flat Products from Brazil and Turkey, the scopes of 
these CTL Plate antidumping orders specifically exclude any such 
overlapping products. See Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products 
from Australia, Brazil, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the 
Netherlands, the Republic of Turkey, and the United Kingdom: Amended 
Final Affirmative Antidumping Determinations for Australia, the 
Republic of Korea, and the Republic of Turkey and Antidumping Duty 
Orders, 81 FR 67962 (October 3, 2016). With respect to South Africa, 
there is no pre-existing antidumping order which could result in 
overlapping coverage. As a result, the scope of the South African 
CTL Plate antidumping duty order does not contain the exclusion 
contained in the scopes of the Brazil and Turkey CTL Plate 
antidumping duty orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antidumping Duty Orders

    On January 19, 2017, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, 
the ITC notified the Department of its final determinations in these 
investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States 
is materially injured by reason of imports of CTL plate from Brazil, 
South Africa, and Turkey, and that critical circumstances do not exist 
with respect to imports of subject merchandise from Brazil and Turkey 
that are subject to the Department's affirmative critical circumstances 
findings.\4\ Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the 
Act, the Department is issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because 
the ITC determined that imports of CTL plate from Brazil, South Africa, 
and Turkey are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated 
entries of such merchandise from Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey, 
entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the 
assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See ITC Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 normal value of the merchandise 
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the 
merchandise, for all relevant entries of CTL plate from Brazil, South 
Africa, and Turkey. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated 
entries of CTL plate from Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 22, 
2016, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations,\5\ but 
will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the 
provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final 
injury determination as further described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from 
Brazil, South Africa, and the Republic of Turkey: Affirmative 
Preliminary Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 81 FR 
65337 (September 22, 2016) (Preliminary Determinations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey. These instructions 
suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
    We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the 
amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final affirmative 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.\6\ The 
relevant ``all-others'' rate applies to all producers or exporters not 
specifically listed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 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. Exporters representing a significant portion of exports of the 
subject merchandise did not request the Department to extend the four-
month period for prevision measures and, accordingly, the Department 
did not extend the four-month period to six months. In the underlying 
investigation, the Department published the Preliminary Determinations 
on September 22, 2016. Therefore, the four-month period beginning on 
the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determinations ended on 
January 20, 2017. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act states that 
definitive duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's 
final injury determination.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our 
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of 
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, 
unliquidated entries of CTL plate from Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after January 20, 
2017, the date the provisional measures expired, until and through the 
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury 
determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will 
resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in 
the Federal Register.

Critical Circumstances

    With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances 
determination on imports of CTL plate from Brazil and Turkey, 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 CTL 
plate from Brazil and Turkey entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after June 24, 2016 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date 
of publication of the Preliminary Determinations), but before September

22, 2016 (i.e., the date of publication of the Preliminary 
Determinations).

Appendix I

Scope of the Orders for Brazil and Turkey

    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 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., Certain Hot-Rolled 
Steel Flat Products from Australia, Brazil, Japan, the Republic of 
Korea, the Netherlands, the Republic of Turkey, and the United 
Kingdom: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Determinations for 
Australia, the Republic of Korea, and the Republic of Turkey and 
Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 67962 (October 3, 2016)); 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 these orders 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 these orders 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 these orders 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 
these orders:
    (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

except that any cut-to-length plate certified to one of the above 
specifications, or to a military grade armor specification that 
references and incorporates one of the above specifications, will 
not be excluded from the scope if it is also dual- or multiple-
certified to any other non-armor specification that otherwise would 
fall within the scope of these orders;
    (3) stainless steel plate, containing 10.5 percent or more of

Appendix II

Scope of the Order for South Africa

    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; 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 this 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;
