entity. As a result, the PRC-wide entity
came under review. Further, we
preliminarily applied adverse facts
available to the PRC-wide entity because
an element of the entity, Aifudi, failed
to act to the best of its ability in
complying with the Department’s
request for information in this review.3
After issuing the Preliminary Results,
the Department did not receive any
comments from interested parties.
Therefore, for these final results, in
accordance with section 776(a) and (b)
of the Act, and as explained in more
detail in the Preliminary Results, the
Department continues to find that
because Aifudi, as part of the PRC-wide
entity, failed to submit any responses to
the Department’s questionnaire, it is
appropriate to apply an adverse
inference in selecting from the facts
otherwise available to determine a
margin for the PRC-wide entity and to
assign to the PRC-wide entity the
highest dumping margin on the record
of any segment of this proceeding, i.e.,
91.73 percent.4 Furthermore, as stated
in the Preliminary Results, we continue
to find that the 91.73 percent rate is
both reliable and relevant, and continue
to determine that it has probative
value.5 Accordingly, we find that the
rate of 91.73 percent, which is the
current PRC-wide rate, is in accordance
with the requirement of section 776(c)
of the Act that secondary information be
corroborated (i.e., that it have probative
value). Thus, we have assigned this
adverse facts available rate to exports of
the subject merchandise from the PRCwide entity, including Aifudi.
Assessment
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of
review. The Department recently
announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) cases.6 Pursuant to
this refinement in practice, for entries
that were not reported in the U.S. sales
databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
NME-wide rate. In addition, if the
Department determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the
NME-wide rate.7

Background
Sections 101 (a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce to allow,
upon request, the incidental, but not
intentional taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of proposed
authorization is provided to the public
for review. The term ‘‘take’’ under the
MMPA means ‘‘to harass, hunt, capture
or kill, or attempt to harass, hunt,
capture, or kill.’’ Except with respect to
certain activities not pertinent here, the
MMPA defines ‘‘harassment’’ as ‘‘any
act of pursuit, torment, or annoyance
which (i) has the potential to injure a
marine mammal or marine mammal
stock in the wild [Level A harassment];
or (ii) has the potential to disturb a
marine mammal or marine mammal
stock in the wild by causing disruption
of behavioral patterns, including, but
not limited to, migration, breathing,
nursing, breeding, feeding, or sheltering
[Level B harassment].’’
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s), will not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses (where relevant), and if
the permissible methods of taking and
requirements pertaining to the
mitigation, monitoring and reporting of
such takings are set forth. NMFS has
defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR
216.103 as ‘‘* * * an impact resulting
from the specified activity that cannot
be reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’
NMFS, as the lead federal agency,
prepared this Supplemental DEIS to
evaluate a broad range of reasonably
foreseeable levels of exploration
activities and associated mitigation
measures that may occur in the U.S.
Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. BOEM and
the NSB are serving as formal
cooperating agencies; the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is serving as a
consulting agency; and NMFS is
coordinating with the Alaska Eskimo
Whaling Commission (AEWC) pursuant
to our co-management agreement under
the MMPA.
NMFS has published this
Supplemental DEIS to disclose the
potential impacts associated with their
issuance of incidental take

Administrative Review of Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products

Final Results of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we calculated net subsidy
rates for Dongbu, POSCO, and HYSCO of 0.12, 0.16, and 0.19 percent ad
valorem, respectively, which are de minimis rates. See 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1).
Assessment Rates
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results, to liquidate shipments of
subject merchandise by Dongbu, POSCO, and HYSCO entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2010, through
December 31, 2010.
Cash Deposit Instructions
On March 19, 2013, the Department published the Revocation Notice
in the Federal Register in which it explained that 15 days after the
publication date of the Revocation Notice, the Department would
instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to
discontinue the collection of cash deposits on entries of the subject
merchandise, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after February
14, 2012.\2\ Pursuant to the Revocation Notice the Department will
further instruct CBP to refund with interest all cash deposits on
entries made on or after February 14, 2012. Further, as explained in
the Revocation Notice, entries of subject merchandise prior to the
effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension
of liquidation and antidumping and/or countervailing duty deposit
requirements and assessments. Lastly, in the Revocation Notice, the
Department explained that it will complete any pending or requested
administrative reviews of these orders covering entries prior to
February 14, 2012.\3\
