Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties' case and rebuttal briefs in this
administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum and are listed in the 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 the 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 sole mandatory respondent, Hyundai Steel Company
(Hyundai Steel), and the margin assigned to the non-selected
respondents.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period February 1, 2020, through January 31,
2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/ exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Steel Company....................................... 6.09
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate Applicable to the Following Non-Selected Companies:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd................................. 6.09
BDP International........................................... 6.09
Sung Jin Steel Co., Ltd..................................... 6.09
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review
within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of final results in the Federal Register.\4\ However, because Commerce
made no adjustments to the margin calculation methodology used in the
Preliminary Results, there are no revised calculations to disclose for
the final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce intends to 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. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for Hyundai
Steel, 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). Where an importer-specific
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the
entries by that importer will be liquidated without reference to
antidumping duties.
For all non-selected respondents subject to this review, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate all entries of subject merchandise that
entered the United States during the POR at the rates calculated for
Hyundai Steel 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 intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company or companies 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 for all
shipments of CTL plate from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication of the notice of final
results of this administrative review in the Federal Register, 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 this
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not
covered in this review but covered in the most recently completed
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 company-specific rate
established for the most recently completed segment for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash 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.
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).
