Scope of the Order

The products covered by this administrative review constitute one
class or kind of merchandise: certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate.
These products include hot-rolled carbon steel universal mill plates
(i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on four faces or in a closed box
pass, of a width exceeding 150 millimeters but not exceeding 1,250
millimeters and of a thickness of not less than 4 millimeters, not in
coils and without patterns in relief), of rectangular shape, neither
clad, plated nor coated with metal, whether or not painted, varnished,
or coated with plastics or other nonmetallic substances; and certain
hot-rolled carbon steel flat-rolled products in straight lengths, of
rectangular shape, hot rolled, neither clad, plated, nor coated with
metal, whether or not painted, varnished, or coasted with plastics or
other nonmetallic substances, 4.75 millimeters or more in thickness and
of a width which exceeds 150 millimeters and measures at least twice
the thickness, as currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule (HTS) under item numbers 7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060,
7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045, 7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000, 7208.53.0000,
7208.90.0000, 7210.70.3000, 7210.90.9000, 7211.13.0000, 7211.14.0030,
7211.14.0045, 7211.90.0000, 7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, and
7212.50.0000. Included are flat-rolled products of nonrectangular
cross-section where such cross-section is achieved subsequent to the
rolling process (i.e., products which have been worked after rolling)
for example, products which have been beveled or rounded at the edges.
Excluded is grade X-70 plate. These HTS item numbers are provided for
convenience and Customs purposes. The written description remains
dispositive.

Ministerial Error in Final Results of Review

In the course of reviewing the content of the final results of
review of the antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon
steel plate from Belgium for the period August 1, 1995 through July 31,
1996, the Department realized that it had inadvertently published the
incorrect ``all others'' rate. Therefore, we are correcting the ``all
others'' cash deposit rate to be 6.84 percent, the rate established in
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation (see Antidumping Duty
Order and Amendment to Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value: Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Belgium, 58 FR
44164 (August 19, 1993)). This correction of the ``all others'' rate
does not change Fabrique de Fer de Charleroi's margin of 13.75 percent,
published in the final results of the 1995-96 administrative review on
January 20, 1998.
The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Individual
differences between export price and normal value may vary from the
percentage stated above. The Department will issue appraisement
instructions directly to the Customs Service.
Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective
for all shipments of certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from
Belgium within the scope of the order entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these
amended final results, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be the
rate listed above; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) for all other producers and/or exporters of
this merchandise, the cash deposit rate of 6.84 percent, the ``all
others'' rate, established in the LTFV investigation, shall remain in
effect.
We will calculate importer-specific duty assessment rates on an ad
valorem basis against the entered value of each entry of subject
merchandise during the period of review (POR).

Notification of Interested Parties

This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written notification of
return/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. Timely
written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested.
This administrative review and notice are in accordance with
Section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act 19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)).

Dated: March 10, 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
