Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews

of Cold-Rolled and Corrosion Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products and

Certain Cut-To-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Various Countries.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received

requests to conduct administrative reviews of antidumping duty orders

on cold-rolled and corrosion resistant carbon steel flat products and

certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from various countries with

August anniversary dates. In accordance with the Department's

Regulations, we are initiating these administrative reviews.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 8, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda Ludwig or Jean Kemp, Import

Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC

20230, telephone: (202) 482-3833 or 482-4037, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19

C.F.R. 353.22(a) and 355.22(a) (1994), for administrative reviews of

various antidumping duty orders with August anniversary dates.

In contrast to the investigation and first administrative review,

we are not establishing a lead case for each country, because there are

fewer products under antidumping duty orders than were included in the

investigation and we believe the normal procedures will be more

convenient for analysts and interested parties. Parties should file

their submissions under the case numbers for the appropriate country

and class or kind of merchandise listed below. In addition, having

found them unnecessary and duplicative, the Department is eliminating

the General Issue files for this review.

Initiation of Reviews

In accordance with sections 19 C.F.R. 353.22(c) and 355.22(c), we

are initiating administrative reviews of the following antidumping duty

orders. We intend to issue the final results of these reviews not later

than August 31, 1996. The following list consists of administrative

reviews requested. However, the Department may determine at a later

date to collapse some related parties.
