SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 21, 1999, Commerce published the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium. Commerce initiated this administrative review with respect to four companies: ASB, ArcelorMittal Genk, Helaxa BVBA, and Industeel Belgium. However, Commerce rescinded this review for three companies that did not have reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR. As such, ASB is the only company subject to this administrative review. On June 6, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results of this review in the Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. On October 9, 2024, Commerce extended the deadline for these final results to October 25, 2024.
