SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 2, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the 2022-2023 administrative review \1\ of the
antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from
Korea. The review covers the sole mandatory respondent, Korinox Co.,
Ltd. (Korinox). We invited interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results.\2\ On May 2, North American Stainless and
Outokumpu Stainless USA (collectively, the domestic interested parties)
submitted a case brief.\3\ On April 25, 2024, an interested party
submitted comments on the record.\4\ On May 7, 2024, the domestic
interested parties filed a rebuttal brief.\5\ Because Commerce received
no comments requiring changes to the Preliminary Results, we have not
modified our analysis and no decision memorandum accompanies this
Federal Register notice. Accordingly, the final results are unchanged
from the Preliminary Results, and we are adopting the Preliminary
Results as the final results of this review. On July 22, 2024, Commerce
tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven
days. The deadline for the final results is now August 7, 2024.\6\
Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

\3\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letters, ``Case Brief
Submitted on Behalf of Domestic Interested Parties,'' dated May 2,
2024.
\4\ Because this submission contained untimely new factual
information, Commerce subsequently rejected and removed this
submission from the record. See Commerce's Letter, ``Rejection of
Westfalia Inc.'s Submission Containing New Factual Information,''
dated July 18, 2024; see also Memorandum, ``Reject and Remove
Submission,'' dated July 18, 2024.
\5\ Because this rebuttal brief only contained comments
concerning Westafalia's submission, which was removed from the
record, Commerce rejected and removed the rebuttal brief from the
record. See Commerce's Letter, ``Rejection of North American
Stainless and Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC's Submission Containing
New Factual Information,'' dated July 29, 2024; see also Memorandum,
``Reject and Remove Submission,'' dated July 29, 2024.

Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products subject to the order are certain stainless steel sheet
and strip in coils. For a complete description of the scope of the
order, see the Preliminary Results.
Use of Adverse Facts Available
As discussed in the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined the
weighted-average dumping margin for Korinox on the basis of adverse
facts available, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
Accordingly, because no interested parties requested changes from the
Preliminary Results, we made no changes to our findings pursuant to
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, and continue to rely entirely upon
facts available with adverse inferences in the final results.
Final Results of Review
We determine the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the POR:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average dumping
Exporter or producer margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Korinox Co., Ltd....................................... 58.79
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in final results within five days of any public announcement
or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
[[Page 65602]]
publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we have made no
changes from the Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to
disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results.
Assessment Rates
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.
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 the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date in the
Federal Register of the final results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate
for Korinox will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative review (i.e.,
58.79 percent); (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered
in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or a
previous segment, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent
period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 19.60
percent, the all others rate as revised due to a section 129
determination.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act and Revocation of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from the
Republic of Korea; and Partial Revocation of the Antidumping Duty
Order on Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from the Republic
of Korea, 76 FR 74771 (December 1, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of
countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (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 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 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: August 5, 2024.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
