Final Results of the Changed Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results,
and because we received no comments from interested parties to the
contrary, Commerce continues to find that new Dongkuk Steel is the
successor-in-interest to former Dongkuk Steel and is entitled to the
same AD cash deposit rate as former Dongkuk Steel with respect to
entries of subject merchandise in the above-noted proceeding. As there
are no changes from the Initiation and Preliminary Results, there is no
decision memorandum accompanying this notice and the determination in
the Initiation and Preliminary Results is hereby adopted as the final
results of this CCR.
As a result of this determination and consistent with established
practice, we find that Dongkuk Steel should receive the AD cash deposit
rate previously
[[Page 67236]]
assigned to former Dongkuk Steel. Consequently, Commerce will instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all
shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Dongkuk
Steel and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at
the AD cash deposit rate in effect for former Dongkuk Steel. This cash
deposit requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return or 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 sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing this determination and publishing these final
results and notice in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1)
and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.216 and
351.221(c)(3).
Dated: September 22, 2023.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
