DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
[(A-122-820); (A-122-822); (A-122-823)]
Amended Final Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and
Antidumping Orders: Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products and Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate From Canada
AGENCY Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On July 11, 1995, the U.S.-Canada Binational Panel (``Panel'')
affirmed the Department of Commerce's (``the Department'') remand
determinations in these cases. On August 23, 1995, the Binational
Secretariat, United States Section, published a notice of completion of
panel review and noted that no request for an extraordinary challenge
committee had been filed. (Notice of Completion of Panel Review, 60 FR
43773). As a result, the Department is amending the final determination
of sales at less than fair value with respect to corrosion-resistant
carbon steel flat products and cut-to-length carbon steel plate from
Canada. For all entries made on or after the date of publication of
this notice, Commerce will direct the U.S. Customs Service
(``Customs'') to require a cash deposit for each entry in an amount
equal to the estimated antidumping duty margins as described in the
``Suspension of Liquidation'' section of this notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 26, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 9, 1993, the Department published a notice of its Final
Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value covering, among other
products, certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products and
certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Canada. 58 FR 37099.
The Department's determination subsequently was appealed to a U.S.-
Canada Binational Panel, pursuant to Article 1904 of the United States-
Canada Free Trade Agreement and title IV of the United States-Canada
Free Trade Implementation Act of 1988, 19 U.S.C. 1516a(g)(1989). On
April 1, 1994, the Department published an amended determination
pursuant to an order from the Panel, correcting certain ministerial
errors. 59 FR 15373. On October 31, 1994 and May 1, 1995, the Panel
remanded the determination so that the Department could address certain
issues regarding the calculation of the weighted-average dumping
margins for certain respondents in this proceeding. On January 30, 1995
and May 31, 1995, the Department issued its final remand determinations
with recalculated estimated margins. The Panel affirmed the
Department's remand determination on July 11, 1995. No request for an
extraordinary challenge has been filed and a Notice of Completion of
Panel Review has been published by the Binational Secretariat.
Suspension of Liquidation
Since the panel proceedings are now final, we are directing Customs
to require a cash deposit in an amount equal to:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Producer/manufacturer/exporter marginpercentage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrosion-Resistant Steel Flat Products:
Dofasco............................................. 11.71
Stelco.............................................. 22.70
All Others.......................................... 18.71
Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate:
IPSCO............................................... 0.06
Stelco.............................................. 68.70
All Others.......................................... 61.88
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will instruct Customs to continue to suspend liquidation and
collect cash deposits at the above rates for all entries of corrosion-
resistant carbon steel flat products and cut-to-length carbon steel
plate from Canada entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption,
on or after the date of publication of this notice. Because IPSCO's
rate is de minimis, IPSCO is excluded from the antidumping duty order
on plate from Canada. We will instruct Customs to cease suspension of
liquidation and collection of cash deposits and to liquidate all
suspended entries of IPSCO plate without regard to antidumping duties.
Dated: September 15, 1995.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
