SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 10, 2000, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the antidumping duty (AD) order on CTL plate from Korea.\1\ On February
26, 2026, Commerce published the preliminary results and partial
rescission of this administrative review \2\ in the Federal Register
and invited interested parties to comment.\3\ We received no comments
from interested parties on the Preliminary Results and
[[Page 25335]]
we made no changes to the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, no decision
memorandum accompanies this notice, and the Preliminary Results are
hereby adopted in these final results. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The deadline for these final results
is June 26, 2026.

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this Order are certain hot-rolled carbon-
quality steel: (1) Universal mill plates (i.e., flat-rolled products
rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150
mm but not exceeding 1250 mm, and of a nominal or actual thickness of
not less than 4 mm, which are cut-to length (not in coils) and without
patterns in relief), of iron or non-alloy quality steel; and (2) flat-
rolled products, hot-rolled, of a nominal or actual thickness of 4.75
mm or more and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and measures at least
twice the thickness, and which are cut-to-length (not in coils). Steel
products included in the scope of the Order are of rectangular, square,
circular, or other shape and of rectangular or non-rectangular cross-
section where such non-rectangular cross-section is achieved subsequent
to the rolling process (i.e., products which have been ``worked after
rolling'')--for example, products which have been beveled or rounded at
the edges. Steel products that meet the noted physical characteristics
that are painted, varnished, or coated with plastic or other non-
metallic substances are included within this scope. Also, specifically
included in the scope of the Order are high strength, low alloy (HSLA)
steels. HSLA steels are recognized as steels with micro-alloying levels
of elements such as chromium, copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium, and
molybdenum. Steel products included in this scope, regardless of
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) definitions,
are products in which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of
the other contained elements, (2) the carbon content is two percent or
less, by weight, and (3) none of the elements listed below is equal to
or exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated: 1.80
percent of manganese, or 1.50 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent of
copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum, or 1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25 percent of
nickel, or 0.30 percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or 0.41 percent of titanium, or 0.15 percent
of vanadium, or 0.15 percent zirconium. All products that meet the
written physical description, and in which the chemistry quantities do
not equal or exceed any one of the levels listed above, are within the
scope of the Order unless otherwise specifically excluded. The
following products are specifically excluded from the Order: (1)
Products clad, plated, or coated with metal, whether or not painted,
varnished or coated with plastic or other non-metallic substances; (2)
SAE grades (formerly AISI grades) of series 2300 and above; (3)
products made to ASTM A710 and A736 or their proprietary equivalents;
(4) abrasion-resistant steels (i.e., USS AR 400, USS AR 500); (5)
products made to ASTM A202, A225, A514 grade S, A517 grade S, or their
proprietary equivalents; (6) ball bearing steels; (7) tool steels; and
(8) silicon manganese steel or silicon electric steel.
Imports of steel plate are currently classified in the HTSUS under
subheadings 7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045,
7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000, 7208.53.0000, 7208.90.0000, 7210.70.3000,
7210.90.9000, 7211.13.0000, 7211.14.0030, 7211.14.0045, 7211.90.0000,
7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, 7212.50.0000, 7225.40.3050, 7225.40.7000,
7225.50.6000, 7225.99.0090, 7226.91.5000, 7226.91.7000, 7226.91.8000,
and 7226.99.0000. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes. The written description of the merchandise
covered by the Order is dispositive.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period February 1, 2024, through January 31,
2025:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd................................. 1.18
Hyundai Steel Company....................................... 0.94
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of 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 to the Preliminary Results, there are
no new calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results of this administrative review,
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 covered by this review.\4\ If a respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50
percent) in the final results of this review, we calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\5\
If the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin or an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results of
this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\5\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).
\6\ Id.; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
either of the individually examined respondents for which they did not
know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate those unreviewed entries at the all-others
rate (i.e., 0.98 percent) \7\ if there is no rate for the intermediate
company (or companies) involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steel Plate Products from the Republic of Korea: Final Results and
Rescission in Part of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR
26361, 26363 (May 12, 2004) (noting the ``all others'' rate
adjustment for the concurrent countervailing duty export subsidy
rate).
\8\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this administrative 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 future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.\9\ We intend to issue assessment
instructions regarding the individually examined respondents to
[[Page 25336]]
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the final results
of this administrative review for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication of this notice as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the individually examined
respondents listed above will be that established in the final results
of this administrative review, except if the rate is less than 0.50
percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (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, a prior review, or the investigation
but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the most recently completed segment for the producer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 0.98 percent, the all-others rate
established in the investigation.\10\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an 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
We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 4, 2026.
