Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Romania: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial Rescission

摘要

In response to a request from domestic producer, Nucor Corporation, and a Romanian producer/exporter, Mittal Steel Galati, S.A. ("MS Galati"), the Department of Commerce ("the Department") is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Romania. The period of review ("POR") is August 1, 2004, through July 31, 2005. With regard to the two Romanian companies that are subject to this administrative review, producer MS Galati and exporter Metalexportimport S.A. ("MEI"), we preliminarily determine that sales of subject merchandise produced by MS Galati have been made at less than normal value ("NV"). Since MS Galati had prior knowledge of the destination of the subject merchandise it produced, and MEI does not produce or take title to the subject merchandise, we are assigning a preliminary dumping margin to MS Galati only and rescinding the review with respect to MEI. For a full discussion of the intent to rescind with respect to MEI, see the "Notice of Intent to Rescind in Part" section of this notice below. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties that submit comments are request
