On January 31, 2011, Korea requested
consultations concerning antidumping
measures regarding corrosion-resistant
carbon steel flat products from Korea.
Korea challenges what it describes as
the ‘‘use of the practice of zeroing
negative dumping margins in
administrative reviews, sunset reviews,
and liquidations of antidumping duties
with and without reviews, concerning
the case of corrosion-resistant carbon
steel flat products from Korea,’’ as well
as ‘‘the imposition of cash deposit
requirements and the final assessment
of antidumping duties pursuant thereto’’
and ‘‘the ongoing conduct reflected by
the use of the zeroing methodology in
successive proceedings in that case.’’
Korea also states that it would like to
raise the following ‘‘matters’’: (1) The
Tariff Act of 1930, in particular, sections
731, 751, 752, 771(35)(A) and (B), and
777A(c) and (d); (2) the Statement of
Administrative Action that
accompanied the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act, H.R. Doc. No. 103–316,
vol. I; (3) implementing regulations of
the Department of Commerce, 19 CFR
section 351, in particular, sections
351.212(b) and (c), 351.218, and

including the computer program(s) to
which it refers; (5) the Department of
Commerce Policy Bulletin 98.3,
‘‘Policies Regarding the Conduct of Fiveyear (‘Sunset’) Reviews of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Orders’’
(‘‘Sunset Policy Bulletin’’), 63 FR 18871
(16 April 1998); (6) ‘‘the general
procedures and methodology employed
