Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
subject to the order is dispositive. For a
full description of the scope of the
order, see the ‘‘Decision Memorandum
for the Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review: Corrosion-Resistant Carbon
Steel Flat Products from the Republic of
Korea’’ from Gary Taverman, Senior
Advisor for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum) dated concurrently with
these results and hereby adopted by this
notice.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
IA ACCESS is available to registered
users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov, and it
is available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, room 7046 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the Internet at
https://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed
Preliminary Decision Memorandum and
the electronic versions of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). Constructed export
price (CEP) is calculated in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. NV is
calculated in accordance with section
773 of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine the following
weighted-average dumping margins 4 for
4 Because there was only one margin that was not
zero or de minimis, we preliminarily are using this
margin (Dongbu’s) as the rate for the non-selected
companies. Due to the revocation of this
antidumping duty order effective February 14,
2012, the weighted-average margins listed in the
rate chart will only be used to calculate the
liquidation rate for the five non-selected companies
in the instant review. If the final results of this
review are unchanged from the Preliminary Results,
the Department will liquidate entries for Dongbu
based on the business proprietary assessment rates

parties of the scheduled date for the
hearing which will be held at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230, at a time and
location to be determined.11 Parties
should confirm by telephone the date,
time, and location of the hearing. Issues
raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case
briefs.
Unless the deadline is extended
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act, the Department will issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of our analysis of
the issues raised by the parties in their
comments, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.12 If the weighted-average
dumping margin for Dongbu or HYSCO
is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than
0.5 percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the importer’s examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).13 We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is not zero or de
minimis. Where either the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.14
The final results of this review shall be
the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review where applicable.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by each
respondent for which they 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).
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department notified CBP to
discontinue the collection of cash
deposits on entries of the subject
merchandise, entered or withdrawn
from warehouse, on or after February
14, 2012.15
Notifications
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
These preliminary results of review
are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.
Dated: August 30, 2013.

and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise
subject to the order is dispositive. For a full description of the
scope of the order, see the ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Corrosion-Resistant
Carbon Steel Flat Products from the Republic of Korea'' from Gary
Taverman, Senior Advisor for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, (Preliminary Decision Memorandum) dated concurrently
with these results and hereby adopted by this notice.
The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on
file electronically via Import Administration's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov, and it is available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the Internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia/. The
signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed
export price (CEP) is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the
Act. NV is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the
following weighted-average dumping margins \4\ for the period August 1,
2011, through February 14, 2012:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Because there was only one margin that was not zero or de
minimis, we preliminarily are using this margin (Dongbu's) as the
rate for the non-selected companies. Due to the revocation of this
antidumping duty order effective February 14, 2012, the weighted-
average margins listed in the rate chart will only be used to
calculate the liquidation rate for the five non-selected companies
in the instant review. If the final results of this review are
unchanged from the Preliminary Results, the Department will
liquidate entries for Dongbu based on the business proprietary
assessment rates which the Department calculates for Dongbu in the
instant review.

Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act, the Department will issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of our analysis of the
issues raised by the parties in their comments, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\12\ If the
weighted-average dumping margin for Dongbu or HYSCO is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer-
specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\13\ We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the
final results of this review is not zero or de minimis. Where either
the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis,
or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.\14\ The final results of this review shall be the
basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results of this review where
applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\13\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
weighted-average dumping margin calculation method adopted in
Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping
Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings;
Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by each respondent for which they
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).
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department notified CBP to discontinue the collection of cash
deposits on entries of the subject merchandise, entered or withdrawn
from warehouse, on or after February 14, 2012.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See CORE Revocation, 78 FR 16832.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notifications
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
These preliminary results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 30, 2013.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
