the cationic groups are included in the urethane resin (C) within the range of 0.03 to 0.15 mol/kg, and a total amine value of said urethane resin (C) is 1 to 10 mgKOH/g.

2. The surface treatment composition for coated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein
a ratio [MF 6 /NH 2 ] of number of moles of the hexafluorometallic acid (MF 6 ) (B) to a number of moles of the primary amino groups (NH 2 ) of the organic silicon compound (A) is 0.2 to 0.4, and
a solid content mass ratio [(A+B)/C] of the total of the organic silicon compound (A) and the hexafluorometallic acid (B) to the urethane resin (C) is 1.0 to 5.0.

3. The surface treatment composition for coated steel sheet according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the urethane resin (C) has polycarbonate structural units and polyether structural units.

4. The surface treatment composition for coated steel sheet according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein said hexafluorometallic acid (B) is selected from hexafluorozirconic acid, hexafluorotitanic acid, and mixtures thereof.

5. A surface-treated plated steel sheet comprising plated steel sheet on at least one surface of which is provided a surface treatment layer having film mass of 0.01 to 0.5 g/m 2 formed by coating the plated steel sheet with the surface treatment composition for coated steel sheet according to claim 1 or 2 , then drying the surface treatment composition.

6.

7. A coated plated steel sheet comprising plated steel sheet on at least one surface of which are provided, in order,
a surface treatment layer which includes the surface treatment composition for coated steel sheet according to claim 1 or 2 ,
a primer layer, and
a top layer which contains a colored pigment,
wherein
the primer layer contains a resin having one or more functional groups which can react with the primary amino groups of the organic silicon compound (A) and has a rust-proofing pigment.

8. The coated plated steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein the plated steel sheet is selected from hot dip zinc alloy-plated steel sheet containing, by mass %, 55% of Al and 1.6% of Si; Zn—Al—Mg—Si—Cr—Ca(Sr) alloy plated steel sheet with a plating layer comprised of, by mass %, Al: 25 to 75%, Mg: 0.1 to 10%, Si: 1 to 7.5%, Cr: 0.05 to 5.0%, and at least one of Ca and Sr: 0.001 to 0.5%, and having a balance of Zn and unavoidable impurities; and Zn—Al—Mg—Si alloy-plated steel sheet with a plating layer comprised of, by mass %, Al: 2 to 19%, Mg: 1 to 10%, and Si: 0.01 to 2%, and having a balance of Zn and unavoidable impurities.
