preliminary results of this administrative review of the antidumping
duty order \1\ on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate
products (CTL plate) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) and rescinded

that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Results, as well
as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for these final
results, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\3\ On
July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative
proceeding by seven days.\4\ The deadline for the final results of this

1930, as amended (the Act).

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
in this review are listed as an appendix to this notice and addressed
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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 at

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Commerce evaluated the comments in the case and rebuttal briefs and
record evidence and made no changes from the Preliminary Results. For a
discussion of the comments, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period February 1, 2022, through January
31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer and/or exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd............................. 0.00
Hyundai Steel Company................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose the calculations performed in
connection with the final results to parties in this proceeding within
five days of the date of public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the 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.
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce shall determine, 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.
Because the weighted-average dumping margins for Dongkuk and Hyundai
Steel are zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties in accordance
with the Final Modification for Reviews.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Dongkuk
[[Page 73626]]
or Hyundai Steel for which they did not know that the merchandise was
destined to the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those
entries at the all-others rate in the Final Determination of the
investigation of sales at less than fair value (LTFV), i.e., 0.98
percent,\7\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See, e.g., Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate
Products from the Republic of Korea: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 87 FR 40489, 40490 (July 7,
2022).
\8\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject
to this review will be equal to the company-specific 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 in the
completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review or a prior segment of the proceeding
(e.g., the original LTFV investigation) but the producer is, then 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 and exporters will
continue to be 0.98 percent,\9\ the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See footnote 9, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this 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 the
countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
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). 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 violation subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is 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: September 5, 2024.
