Notice of Final Results of the Twelfth
Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Corrosion–Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products from the Republic of Korea
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On September 11, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the antidumping duty
administrative review for certain
corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat
products (CORE) from the Republic of
Korea (Korea). See Certain Corrosion–
Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products
from Korea: Notice of Preliminary
Results and Partial Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 71 FR 53370 (September 11,
2006) (Preliminary Results). This review
covers four manufacturers/exporters of
the subject merchandise: Union Steel
Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Union);
Pohang Iron & Steel Company, Ltd.
(POSCO) and Pohang Coated Steel Co.,
Ltd. (POCOS) (collectively, the POSCO
Group); Hyundai HYSCO (HYSCO); and
Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. (Dongbu)
(collectively, respondents). The period
of review (POR) is August 1, 2004,
through July 31, 2005.
As a result of our analysis of the
comments received, these final results
differ from the preliminary results. For
our final results, we have found that
during the POR, Union and Dongbu sold
subject merchandise at less than normal
value (NV). We have also found that
HYSCO and the POSCO Group did not
make sales of the subject merchandise at
less than NV (i.e., they have a zero or
de minimis dumping margin).
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 2007.

Assessment
The Department will determine, and
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b). The Department calculated
importer–specific duty assessment rates
on the basis of the ratio of the total
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of the examined sales for that
importer. Where the assessment rate is
above de minimis, we will instruct CBP
to assess duties on all entries of subject
merchandise by that importer. The
Department will issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP
15 days after publication of these final
results.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of CORE from
Korea entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication date of these final
results, as provided by section 751(a) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act): (1) for companies covered by this
review, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate listed above; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies
other than those covered by this review,
the cash deposit rate will be the
company–specific rate established for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less–thanfair–value investigation, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recent
period for the manufacturer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the producer is a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the investigation, the cash deposit
rate will be 17.70 percent, the ‘‘All
Others’’ rate established in the less–
than-fair–value investigation. These
deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until further notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 2007.
SUMMARY: On December 29, 2006, the
Department of Commerce received a
request to conduct a new–shipper
review of the antidumping duty order
on stainless steel wire rod from India. In
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we are
initiating a new–shipper review of

Background
The notice announcing the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel wire rod from India was published
on December 1, 1993. See Antidumping
Duty Order: Certain Stainless Steel Wire
Rods from India, 58 FR 63335
(December 1, 1993). On December 29,
2006, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) received a timely request
for a new–shipper review of the order
from Sunflag Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.
(Sunflag). See section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(c). Sunflag is
both the Indian producer and exporter
of the subject merchandise to the United
States on which its request for a new–
shipper review is based. As required by
19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A),
Sunflag certified that it is a producer
and exporter of the subject merchandise,
that it did not export stainless steel wire
rod to the United States during the
period of investigation (POI) (July 1,
1992, through December 31, 1992), and
that, since the initiation of the
investigation, it has never been affiliated
with any exporter or producer that
exported stainless steel wire rod to the
United States during the POI.1
In addition, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), the company
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) the date on which it
first shipped the subject merchandise
for export to the United States; (2) the
volume of its first shipment and its
subsequent shipment;2 and (3) the date
of its first sale to an unaffiliated
customer in the United States.
On January 31, 2007, the Department
postponed its decision regarding
whether to initiate the new–shipper
review because, based upon its routine
examination of Customs and Border
Protection entry data, it was not clear
whether the merchandise exported by
Sunflag to the United States qualified as
subject merchandise. See Memorandum
from Catherine Cartsos through Minoo
Hatten to the File, New–Shipper Review
of Stainless Steel Wire Rod from India:
Customs and Border Protection Entry
Data, dated January 31, 2007. Under 19
CFR 351.302(b), the Department may
extend any time limit established by its
regulations for good cause unless
expressly precluded by the statute. See
Letter from Laurie Parkhill to Mr. M.D.
Ghumare, General Manager of Exports
for Sunflag, dated January 31, 2007. The
status of the Sunflag entries is no longer
at issue because the Department has
1 See Sunflag’s Request for New Shipper Review,
dated December 29, 2006.
2 In its December 29, 2006, Request for New
Shipper Review, Sunflag provided information on
its subsequent shipment.

determined that the merchandise
exported by Sunflag to the United States
qualifies as subject merchandise. See
Memorandum from Catherine Cartsos
through Minoo Hatten to the File, New–
Shipper Review of Stainless Steel Wire
Rod from India: Customs and Border
Protection Entry Data and Documents,
dated March 13, 2007.
Initiation of New–Shipper Review
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2) and (d)(1), we find that
Sunflag’s request meets the threshold
requirements for initiation of a new–
shipper review. See March 13, 2007,
Memorandum to the File through Laurie
Parkhill, Director, AD/CVD Operations,
Office 5, from the team regarding the
new–shipper review initiation checklist.
Accordingly, we are initiating a new–
shipper review of the antidumping duty
order on stainless steel wire rod from
India for shipments produced and
exported by Sunflag. The period of
review is December 1, 2005, through
November 30, 2006. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(A). We intend to issue
the preliminary results of this new–
shipper review no later than 180 days
after initiation of this review. See
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.214(i). We intend to issue the
final results of this review no later than
90 days after the date on which the
preliminary results are issued. See
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.214(i). On August 17, 2006, the
Pension Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4)
was signed into law. Section 1632 of
H.R. 4 temporarily suspends the
authority of the Department to instruct
Customs and Border Protection to
collect a bond or other security in lieu
of a cash deposit in new–shipper
reviews. Therefore, the posting of a
bond under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e) in lieu
of a cash deposit is not available in this
case. Importers of subject merchandise
manufactured and exported by Sunflag
must continue to pay a cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties on each
entry of subject merchandise at the
current all–others rate of 48.80 percent.
Interested parties that need access to
proprietary information in this new–
shipper review should submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act, 19 CFR 351.214(d), and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-Average
Producer/Manufacturer Margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dongbu.............................................. 2.07 %

Assessment
The Department will determine, and Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department calculated importer-
specific duty assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the examined sales for that importer. Where the
assessment rate is above de minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess
duties on all entries of subject merchandise by that importer. The
Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to
CBP 15 days after publication of these final results.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of CORE from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date of these final results, as
provided by section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act): (1) for companies covered by this review, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate listed above; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies other than those covered by this review, the
cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value investigation, but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise;
and (4) if neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the investigation, the cash deposit
rate will be 17.70 percent, the ``All Others'' rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation. These deposit requirements shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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 and/or countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure
to comply with this requirement could result in the presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and
the subsequent increase in antidumping duties by the amount of
antidumping and/or countervailing duties reimbursed.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also is the only 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. 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.
We are issuing and publishing these results and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 12, 2007.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
