SUMMARY: On September 11, 2006, the
U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published in the Federal
Register its preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on
corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat
products (i.e., corrosion–resistant
carbon steel plate) from the Republic of
Korea (Korea) for the period of review
(POR) January 1, 2004, through
December 31, 2004. See Preliminary
Results of Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review: Corrosion–
Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products
from the Republic of Korea, 71 FR 53413
(September 11, 2006) (‘‘Preliminary
Results’’). We preliminarily found that
Pohang Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. (POSCO)
and Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. (Dongbu)
received de minimis countervailable
subsidies during the POR. We did not
receive any comments on our
preliminary results, and we have made
no revisions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 3, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 17, 1993, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
CVD order on corrosion–resistant
carbon steel flat products from Korea.
See Countervailing Duty Orders and
Amendments to Final Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determinations:
Certain Steel Products from Korea, 58
FR 43752 (August 17, 1993). On

published in the Federal Register its
preliminary results of the administrative
review of this order for the period
January 1, 2004, through December 31,
2004. See Preliminary Results, 71 FR

351.213(b), this administrative review
covers POSCO and Dongbu, producers
and exporters of subject merchandise.
In the Preliminary Results, we invited
interested parties to submit briefs or
request a hearing. The Department did
not conduct a hearing in this review
because none was requested, and no
briefs were received.
Scope of Order
Products covered by this order are

Period of Review
The POR for which we are measuring
subsidies is from January 1, 2004,

Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department
received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. Consistent with the
Preliminary Results, we find that
POSCO and Dongbu received de
minimis countervailable subsidies
during the POR. As there have been no
changes or comments from the
Preliminary Results, a Decision
Memorandum was not required for
these final results and, therefore, no
memo is attached to this Federal
Register notice. For further details of the
programs included in this proceeding,
see the Preliminary Results.
