Final Results of Review
Appendix I
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we calculated an
individual subsidy rate for the
producer/exporter, Hynix. For the
period January 1, 2005, through
December 31, 2005, we find that the ad
valorem net subsidy rate for Hynix is
23.78 percent.
Comments in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum
Comment 1: Timing of the Benefit on a
Previously Countervailed Debt–toEquity Swap (‘‘DES’’)
Comment 2: Allegation that Hynix is
Circumventing the Order
Comment 3: Application of Adverse
Facts Available (‘‘AFA’’) for Undiscosed

Comment 4: Whether Deposit Rate

Reasonable Estimate of Future CVD

Assessment Rates
Fifteen days after the date of
publication of these final results of this
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate shipments of DRAMS
by Hynix entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption from
January 1, 2005, through December 31,
2005, at 23.78 percent ad valorem of the
F.O.B. invoice price.

Cash Deposits
The Department also intends to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at 23.78
percent ad valorem of the entered value
on all shipments of the subject
merchandise from Hynix, entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review.
We will instruct CBP to continue to
collect cash deposits for non–reviewed
companies at the most recent company–
specific rate applicable to the company.
The Department has previously
excluded Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
from this order. See Notice of Amended
Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination: Dynamic Random
Access Memory Semiconductors from
the Republic of Korea, 68 FR 44290 (July
28, 2003). Thus, the ‘‘all others’’ rate
shall apply to all non–reviewed
companies until a review of a company
assigned this rate is requested.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of 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.
This administrative review and notice
are issued and published in accordance
with section 751(a)(1) of the Act.

products, which are three–layered
corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat–
rolled products less than 4.75
millimeters in composite thickness that
consist of a carbon steel flat–rolled
product clad on both sides with
stainless steel in a 20%-60%-20% ratio.

Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from
Mexico: Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review
On August 24, 2007, the Department
published a notice of initiation of an
antidumping duty administrative review
for, inter alia, purified
carboxymethylcellulose from Mexico for
the July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007,
period of review (POR). See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 (August
24, 2007). The preliminary results for
this administrative review are currently
due no later than April 1, 2008.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to complete the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested. However,
if it is not practicable to complete the
review within these time periods,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows
the Department to extend the 245 day
time period for the preliminary results
to 365 days.
The Department has determined it is
not practicable to complete this review
within the statutory time limit because
of significant issues that require
additional time to evaluate. These
include extremely complicated issues
involving Amtex’s use of multiple
currencies in both markets and certain
movement expenses. Accordingly, the
Department is extending the time limits
for completion of the preliminary
results of this administrative review
until no later than July 30, 2008, which
PO 00000

publication of the preliminary results.

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)

exporters of the subject merchandise: Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. (Dongbu);
Hyundai HYSCO (HYSCO); and Union Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Union)
(collectively, respondents). The period of review (POR) is August 1,
2005, through July 31, 2006.

Assessment
The Department will determine, and U.S. 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 intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of these final results of
review. The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'''
regulation on May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This clarification applies to
POR entries of subject merchandise produced by companies examined in
this review (i.e., companies for which a dumping margin was calculated)
where the companies did not know that their merchandise was destined
for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate
for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a
full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
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.
