Background
Commerce initiated, and the ITC instituted, sunset reviews of the
suspended antidumping duty investigations of certain CTL plate from

Scope
The products covered by these Suspension Agreements include hot-
rolled iron and non-alloy steel 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, 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 iron and non-alloy steel flat-rolled products
not in coils, of rectangular shape, hot-rolled, neither clad, plated,
nor coated with metal, whether or not painted, varnished, or coated
with plastics or other nonmetallic substances, 4.75 mm or more in
thickness and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and measures at least
twice the thickness. Included as subject merchandise in the Suspension
Agreements 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. This
merchandise is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (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. Although the HTS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope
of the Suspension Agreements is dispositive. Specifically excluded from
the subject merchandise within the scope of these Suspension Agreements
is grade X-70 plate.
Continuation
As a result of the respective determinations by Commerce and the
ITC that termination of the Suspension Agreements on CTL plate from
Russia and Ukraine would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States,
pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby gives notice
of the continuation of the Suspension Agreements on CTL plate from
Russia and Ukraine. The effective dates of continuation will be the
date of publication in the Federal Register of this Continuation
Notice. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year reviews
of the Suspension Agreements not later than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
These five-year (sunset) reviews and notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
