Certain Cut-To-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Reviews, and Revocation of Orders in Part

On May 12, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the Department) received a request on behalf of Bethlehem Steel Corporation and U.S. Steel Group--a unit of USX Corporation (Bethlehem & U.S. Steel), petitioners in these cases, for changed circumstances antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) reviews and an intent to revoke in part the AD and CVD orders with respect to specific cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Germany and the United Kingdom and the AD order with respect to specific cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Finland. A telephone conversation on May 17, 1999, with counsel on behalf of all other petitioners (Inland Steel Industries, Inc., LTV Steel Company, Inc., National Steel Corporation, AK Steel Corporation, Gulf States Steel Inc. of Alabama, Sharon Steel Corporation, and WCI Steel Inc.) confirmed petitioners' lack of interest in the continuation of the AD and CVD orders with respect to the subject merchandise defined in the Scope of the Review section below (See Memorandum to the File). Accordingly, on July 7, 1999, the Department published a notice of initiation and preliminary results of changed circumstances reviews and intent to revoke these orders in part (64 FR 36666). We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the preliminary results of these changed circumstances reviews. No comments were received.
