Countervailing Duty Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain
cold-rolled steel flat products (cold-rolled steel or CRS) from the
People's Republic of China (China) and the Republic of Korea (Korea)
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of net countervailable
subsidies and material injury to an industry in the United States,
Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of the CVD orders.
DATES: Applicable August 19, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 14 and September 20, 2016, Commerce published in the
Federal Register the CVD orders on cold-rolled steel from China and
Korea, respectively.\1\ On June 1, 2021, Commerce published a notice of
initiation of the first sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\
Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of these reviews, pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and
752(c) of the
[[Page 51057]]
Act, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders on cold-rolled
steel from China and Korea would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of countervailable subsidies. Commerce, therefore, notified
the ITC of the magnitude of the net countervailable subsidy rates
likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.\3\

Orders, 86 FR 54677 (September 28, 2021), and accompanying Issues
and Decision Memorandum (IDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 12, 2022, the ITC published its determination, pursuant
to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Orders
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to
an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.\4\

Scope of the Orders
CRS From China 5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See CRS China Order; see also Memorandum, ``Certain Cold-
Rolled Steel Flat Products from the People's Republic of China (C-
570-030): Request from Customs and Border Protection to Update the
ACE AD/CVD Case Reference File,'' dated September 13, 2021; and
Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the People's Republic
of China: Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention of the
Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 83 FR 23891 (May

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The products covered by this Order are certain cold-rolled (cold-
reduced), flat-rolled steel products, whether or not annealed, painted,
varnished, or coated with plastics or other non-metallic substances.
The products covered do not include those that are clad, plated, or
coated with metal. The products covered include coils that have a width
or other lateral measurement (``width'') of 12.7 mm or greater,
regardless of form of coil (e.g., in successively superimposed layers,
spirally oscillating, etc.). The products covered also include products
not in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness less than 4.75
mm and a width that is 12.7 mm or greater and that measures at least 10
times the thickness. The products covered also include products not in
coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more and
a width exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least twice the thickness.
The products described above may be rectangular, square, circular, or
other shape and include products of either rectangular or non-
rectangular cross-section where such 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:
(1) Where the nominal and actual measurements vary, a product 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; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by
weight; and (3) none of the elements listed below exceeds the quantity,
by weight, respectively indicated:
<bullet> 2.50 percent of manganese, or
<bullet> 3.30 percent of silicon, or
<bullet> 1.50 percent of copper, or
<bullet> 1.50 percent of aluminum, or
<bullet> 1.25 percent of chromium, or
<bullet> 0.30 percent of cobalt, or
<bullet> 0.40 percent of lead, or
<bullet> 2.00 percent of nickel, or
<bullet> 0.30 percent of tungsten (also called wolfram), or
<bullet> 0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
<bullet> 0.10 percent of niobium (also called columbium), or
<bullet> 0.30 percent of vanadium, or
<bullet> 0.30 percent of zirconium
Unless specifically excluded, products are included in this scope
regardless of levels of boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in this scope are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free
(IF)) steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, motor lamination
steels, Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), and Ultra High Strength
Steels (UHSS). IF steels are recognized as low carbon steels with
micro-alloying levels of elements such as titanium and/or niobium added
to stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA steels are recognized
as steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as chromium,
copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. Motor lamination
steels contain micro-alloying levels of elements such as silicon and
aluminum. AHSS and UHSS are considered high tensile strength and high
elongation steels, although AHSS and UHSS are covered whether or not
they are high tensile strength or high elongation steels.
Subject merchandise includes cold-rolled steel that has been
further processed in a third country, including but not limited to
annealing, tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting,
punching, 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 cold-rolled steel.
All products that meet the written physical description, and in
which the chemistry quantities do not exceed any one of the noted
element levels listed above, are within the scope of this Order unless
specifically excluded. The following products are outside of and/or
specifically excluded from the scope of this Order:

define NOES as ``cold-rolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel products,
whether or not in coils, regardless of width, having an actual
thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which the core loss is
substantially equal in any direction of magnetization in the plane
of the material. The term `substantially equal' means that the cross
grain direction of core loss is no more than 1.5 times the straight
grain direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of core loss. NOES has
a magnetic permeability that does not exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested
at a field of 800 A/m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e.,
parallel to) the rolling direction of the sheet (i.e., B800 value).
NOES contains by weight more than 1.00 percent of silicon but less
than 3.5 percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon,
and not more than 1.5 percent of aluminum. NOES has a surface oxide
coating, to which an insulation coating may be applied.''

Order is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of countervailable subsidies as well as material injury to
an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the continuation of
the Orders.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect CVD
cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all
imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of continuation of
the Orders will be the date of publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.281(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-
year (sunset) review of the Orders no later than 30 days prior to the
fifth anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return, destruction, or conversion to judicial
protective order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation
of the APO which may be subject to sanctions.
Notification to Interested Parties
This five-year sunset review and this notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) and (d)(2) of the Act and published pursuant to section
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
Dated: August 15, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
