Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties
raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, follows as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, and for the
reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we did not
make changes to the preliminary calculation of the weighted-average
dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Hyundai Steel Company
(Hyundai Steel), and the margin assigned to non-selected respondents.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the respondents for the period February 1, 2019, through
January 31, 2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Steel Company....................................... 0.68
Rate Applicable to the Following Non-Selected Companies:
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd............................... 0.68
BDP International......................................... 0.68
Sung Jin Steel Co., Ltd................................... 0.68
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review. For the individually examined respondent, Hyundai Steel,
whose weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
For all non-selected respondents identified above, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate all entries of subject merchandise that entered the
United States during the POR at the rates listed above.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Hyundai Steel for which it did not know its merchandise was destined
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries
at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication,
as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit
rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of
the review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not covered in
this review but covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment
for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
[[Page 56890]]
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be
0.98 percent,\5\ the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation, adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion
countervailing duty investigation. These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final reminder to
importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: October 6, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
