SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published notice in 
the Federal Register of March 7, 2024, in which Commerce announced the 
final results of the 2021-2022 administrative review of the antidumping 
duty (AD) order on utility scale wind towers from the Republic of 
Korea. That notice did not include our final determination of no 
shipments, the dumping margin and the appendix listing companies not 
selected for individual review, and information in the ``Assessment 
Rates'' section for companies not selected for individual review. 
Moreover, the notice listed incorrect dates for the period of review 
(POR) in the ``Final Results of Review'' section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background On March 7, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal 
Register the Final Results.\1\ In that notice, we failed to include our 
final determination of no shipments, the dumping margin and the 
appendix listing companies not selected for individual review, as well 
as information in the ``Assessment Rate'' section for companies not 
selected for individual review. Finally, we inadvertently listed 
incorrect dates for the POR in the ``Final Results of Review'' section.

Correction

    In the Federal Register of March 7, 2024, in FR Doc 2024-04881, on 
page 16544, in the third column, add the section below entitled ``Final 
Determination of No Shipments'' after ``Changes Since the Preliminary 
Results,'' and replace the section entitled ``Final Results of Review'' 
with the section below entitled ``Final Results of Review.''
    In addition, on page 16544, in the third column, replace the 
section entitled ``Assessment Rates'' with the section below entitled 
``Assessment Rates.''
    Finally, on page 16545, in the third column, revise the title of 
the appendix to be Appendix I and add the attached Appendix II.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that the following 
companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR: 
Hyosung Heavy Industries Corporation (Hyosung) and CS Wind Corporation 
(CS Wind).\2\ As we have not received any information to contradict 
this determination, consistent with our practice, we will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection to liquidate any

[[Page 22373]]

suspended entries that entered under Hyosung's and CS Wind's AD case 
numbers (i.e., at that exporter's rate), at the all-others rate if 
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.

(September 6, 2023) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins 
exist for the period August 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-
                                                              average
                    Producer/exporter                     dumping margin
                                                             (percent)

Assessment Rates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The companies not selected for individual review are listed 
in Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (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), Dongkuk S&C Co., Ltd. (Dongkuk) 
reported the entered value of its U.S. sales such that we calculated 
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio 
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the 
total entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. 
Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero 
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 
importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.
    Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Dongkuk for which the 
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary 
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the 
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 5.41 percent if there is 
no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Order; and Utility Scale Wind Towers from Canada, 
Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam: Notice of Correction to the Antidumping Duty Orders, 85 FR 
56213 (September 11, 2020) (correcting the date that the provisional 
measures period expired). For a full discussion of the ``automatic 
assessment'' practice, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 
2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the companies not selected for individual review, we used an 
assessment rate based on the cash deposit rate calculated for Dongkuk. 
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment 
of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final 
results of this review and for the future deposits of estimated duties 
where applicable.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue liquidation 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).

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
