1. AS A RESULT OF A FIVE-YEAR ("SUNSET") REVIEW, THE U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (COMMERCE) HAS REVOKED THE COUNTERVAILING
DUTY ORDER ON CERTAIN CORROSION-RESISTANT CARBON STEEL FLAT
PRODUCTS FROM FRANCE (C-427-810). THIS REVOCATION WAS PUBLISHED
IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON FEBRUARY 14, 2007 (72 FR 7010). THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE REVOCATION IS DECEMBER 15, 2005.

2. U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP) IS DIRECTED TO
TERMINATE THE SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF
CERTAIN CORROSION-RESISTANT CARBON STEEL FLAT PRODUCTS FROM
FRANCE, ENTERED OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE FOR CONSUMPTION, ON
OR AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2005. ALL ENTRIES OF THE SUBJECT
MERCHANDISE THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2005
SHOULD BE LIQUIDATED WITHOUT REGARD TO COUNTERVAILING DUTIES
(I.E., RELEASE ALL BONDS AND REFUND ALL CASH DEPOSITS, WITH
INTEREST).

3. LIQUIDATION INSTRUCTIONS COVERING ENTRIES OF CERTAIN
CORROSION-RESISTANT CARBON STEEL FLAT PRODUCTS FROM FRANCE
DURING THE PERIOD 01/01/2005 THROUGH 12/31/2005 WERE PREVIOUSLY
ISSUED UNDER MESSAGE NUMBER 6324212.

4. THE ASSESSMENT OF COUNTERVAILING DUTIES BY CBP ON ENTRIES OF
THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF
THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT CBP PAY
INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS OR ASSESS INTEREST ON UNDERPAYMENTS, OF
THE REQUIRED AMOUNTS DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED COUNTERVAILING
DUTIES. THE INTEREST PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH OR
BONDS POSTED AS ESTIMATED COUNTERVAILING DUTIES BEFORE THE DATE
OF PUBLICATION OF THE COUNTERVAILING DUTY ORDER. INTEREST SHALL
BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED
COUNTERVAILING DUTIES THROUGH THE DATE OF LIQUIDATION. THE RATE
AT WHICH SUCH INTEREST IS PAYABLE IS THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER
SECTION 6621 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH
PERIOD.
