SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 11, 2003, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published a countervailing duty order
on dynamic random access memory
semiconductors (‘‘DRAMS’’) from the
Republic of Korea (‘‘ROK’’). See Notice
of Countervailing Duty Order: Dynamic
Random Access Memory
Semiconductors from the Republic of
Korea, 68 FR 47546 (Aug. 11, 2003)
(‘‘CVD Order’’). On August 2, 2007, the
Department published a notice of
‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review’’ for this countervailing duty
order. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 72
FR 42383 (Aug. 2, 2007). On August 27,
2007, we received a request for review

from Hynix Semiconductor, Inc.
(‘‘Hynix’’). On August 29, 2007, we
received a request for review of Hynix
from the petitioner, Micron Technology,
Inc. (‘‘Micron’’). In accordance with 19
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a
notice of initiation of the review on
September 25, 2007. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 54428
(September 25, 2007) (‘‘Initiation
Notice’’).
On October 23, 2007, we issued
countervailing duty questionnaires to
the Government of the Republic of
Korea (‘‘GOK’’) and Hynix. We received
responses to these questionnaires on
November 26, 2007. On April 1, 2008,
we issued supplemental questionnaires
to the GOK and Hynix. We received
timely responses to these supplemental
questionnaires on April 15, 2008. We
issued additional supplemental
questionnaires to the GOK and Hynix on
June 12, and July 16, 2008, and received
responses on June 26, and July 23, 2008,
respectively.
We received new subsidy allegations
from Micron on December 17, 2007.1 On
March 17, 2008, we initiated an
investigation of one of the two new
subsidies that Micron alleged in this
administrative review. In addition, we
stated that we did not intend to
reexamine the timing of the benefit of a
previously countervailed debt-to-equity
swap (‘‘DES’’) for the preliminary
results. See Fourth Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review: Dynamic
Random Access Memory
Semiconductors from Korea: New
Subsidy Allegations Memorandum
(Mar. 17, 2008) (‘‘New Subsidy
Allegations—DOC Memorandum’’),
available in the Central Records Unit
(‘‘CRU’’), Room 1117 of the main
Department building. On March 25,
2008, we issued questionnaires
concerning the new subsidy allegation
to Hynix and the GOK. We received a
response to this questionnaire from
Hynix on April 8, 2008, and from the
GOK on April 9, 2008. On July 14, 2008,
Micron submitted comments for
consideration in the preliminary results.
On April 7, 2008, we published a
postponement of the preliminary results
in this review until July 31, 2008. See
