Liquidation

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated 
importer-specific assessment rates. To calculate these rates, we 
divided the total dumping margins for the reviewed sales by the total 
entered value of those reviewed sales for each importer. The Department 
will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 
15 days of publication of these final results of review. We will direct 
CBP to assess the appropriate assessment rate against the entered 
Customs values for the subject merchandise on each of the importer's 
entries under the relevant order during the POR.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice of final results of administrative review 
for all shipments of structural steel beams from Korea entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act: (1) 
The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be the rate shown 
above; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed 
above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific 
rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a 
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-
fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period 
for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate 
for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 37.21 
percent. This rate is the ``All Others'' rate from the amended final 
determination in the LTFV investigations. See Notice of Amended Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Structural Steel Beams 
From South Korea, 65 FR 50501, 50502 (August 18, 2000).
    These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication 
of the final results of the next administrative review.
    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 or countervailing duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's
