RE: REISSUANCE OF AMENDED PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION IN THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTY INVESTIGATIONS: STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAM
FROM THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (A-462-814)

THIS MESSAGE IS BEING REISSUED TO CORRECT AN ERROR IN THE CASE
NUMBER FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS FROM THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
THE CASE NUMBER IN THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE (MESSAGE NUMBER
#2035206, DATED 02/04/2002) WAS LISTED AS CASE NUMBER
A-462-114. THE CORRECT CASE NUMBER IS A-462-814

1. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL
REGISTER ON JANUARY 31, 2002, ITS AMENDED PRELIMINARY
DETERMINATION OF SALES AT NOT LESS THAN FAIR VALUE IN THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTY INVESTIGATION OF STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS FROM
THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. THIS IS AN AMENDMENT OF MESSAGE
2004204 ON JANUARY 4, 2002.

2. THE SCOPE OF THIS INVESTIGATION COVERS DOUBLY-SYMMETRIC
SHAPES, WHETHER HOT- OR COLD-ROLLED, DRAWN, EXTRUDED, FORMED
OR FINISHED, HAVING AT LEAST ONE DIMENSION OF AT LEAST 80 MM
(3.2 INCHES OR MORE), WHETHER OF CARBON OR ALLOY (OTHER THAN
STAINLESS) STEEL, AND WHETHER OR NOT DRILLED, PUNCHED, NOTCHED,
PAINTED, COATED, OR CLAD. THESE STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS
INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, WIDE-FLANGE BEAMS (W SHAPES),
BEARING PILES (HP SHAPES), STANDARD BEAMS (S OR I SHAPES), AND
M-SHAPES. ALL THE PRODUCTS THAT MEET THE PHYSICAL AND
METALLURGICAL DESCRIPTIONS PROVIDED ABOVE ARE WITHIN THE SCOPE
OF THIS INVESTIGATION UNLESS OTHERWISE EXCLUDED.

THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS ARE OUTSIDE AND/OR SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED
FROM THE SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION: (1) STRUCTURAL STEEL
BEAMS GREATER THAN 400 POUNDS PER LINEAR FOOT, (2) STRUCTURAL

STEEL BEAMS THAT HAVE A WEB OR SECTION HEIGHT (ALSO KNOWN AS
DEPTH) OVER 40 INCHES, AND (3) STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS THAT HAVE
ADDITIONAL WELDMENTS, CONNECTORS OR ATTACHMENTS TO I-SECTIONS,
H-SECTIONS, OR PILINGS; HOWEVER, IF THE ONLY ADDITIONAL
WELDMENT, CONNECTOR OR ATTACHMENT ON THE BEAM IS A SHIPPING
BRACE ATTACHED TO MAINTAIN STABILITY DURING TRANSPORTATION, THE
BEAM IS NOT REMOVED FROM THE SCOPE DEFINITION BY REASON OF SUCH
ADDITIONAL WELDMENT, CONNECTOR OR ATTACHMENT.

THE MERCHANDISE SUBJECT TO THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLASSIFIED IN
THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES (HTSUS) AT
SUBHEADINGS 7216.32.0000, 7216.33.0030, 7216.33.0060,
