SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 13, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results
and invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results.\1\ On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue
the final results in this administrative review by 90 days.\2\
Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now April 11,
2025. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). A summary
of the events that occurred since Commerce published these Preliminary
Results, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties
for these final results, may be found in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.\3\

\4\ See Large Power Transformers from the Republic of Korea:
Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 53177 (August 31, 2012) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scope of the Order covers large liquid dielectric power
transformers having a top power handling capacity greater than or equal
to 60,000 kilovolt amperes (60 megavolt amperes), whether assembled or
unassembled, complete or incomplete. For a complete description of the
scope of the order, see the accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. For a list of the issues raised by parties, see the
appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made certain changes to the margin calculations
for Iljin for these final results of review.\5\ As a result of these
changes, the weighted-average dumping margin also changes for the
companies subject to this review, but not selected for individual
examination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comments 1 and 2; see
also Memorandum, ``Analysis of Data Submitted by ILJIN Electric Co.,
Ltd. in the Final Results of the 2022-2023 Administrative Review of
the Antidumping Duty Order on Large Power Transformers from the
Republic of Korea,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rates for Non-Selected Respondents
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not
selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an
amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average
dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available{time} .''
For these final results, we continue to calculate a weighted-
average dumping margin for Iljin that is not zero, de
[[Page 15136]]
minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
Accordingly, for these final results, we have assigned the rate
calculated for respondent Iljin to all of the non-selected respondents,
as listed below.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period August 1, 2022, through July 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HD Hyundai Electric Co., Ltd................................ 0.00
Iljin Electric Co., Ltd.\6\................................. 16.87
LS Electric Co., Ltd........................................ 16.87
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after the date of publication in the
Federal Register of these final results of review, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In the Preliminary Results, we stated that the current
administrative review is the first review in which either Iljin
Electric Co., Ltd. or ILJIN was selected for individual examination
and that record evidence indicates that Iljin Electric Co., Ltd. is
the only entity in Korea with the Iljin name that produces LPTs. See
Letter, ``Response to the Department's March 29 Supplemental
Questionnaire,'' dated April 26, 2024 (Iljin SAQR), at page 2.
Therefore, we preliminarily found that ILJIN and Iljin Electric Co.,
Ltd. are the same entity and invited comments. No party commented on
this issue. Therefore, for these final results, we find that ILJIN
and Iljin Electric Co., Ltd. are the same entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Hyundai and Iljin for which it did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate in the less-than-fair-value
investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\8\ For the companies that were not
selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
entries at the rates established in these final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue appropriate 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 upon
publication of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the 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 producers or exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 22.00 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\9\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 53177 (August 31, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping 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 duties did occur and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping 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/destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 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 351.213(h) and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: April 1, 2025.
