confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before
the scheduled date.
The Department will issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
issues raised in any written briefs, not
later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
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.6
If Koehler’s weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final results of
this review, we will calculate an
importer-specific per-unit duty
assessment rate by aggregating the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales and
dividing this amount by the total
quantity of those sales, because Koehler
did not report entered value for all its
U.S. sales. To determine whether this
duty assessment rate is de minimis, in
accordance with the requirement set
forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will
calculate an importer-specific ad
valorem ratio based on the estimated
entered value.
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 above de minimis. Where
either Koehler’s weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis,
or the importer-specific assessment rate
is zero or de minimis, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.7
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 Koehler for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers 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

Cash Deposit Requirements
List of Topics Discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for Koehler will be
the rate established in the final results
of this review, except if the rate is less
than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the
original investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 6.50
percent, the all-others rate established
in Lightweight Thermal Paper from
Germany: Notice of Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 73 FR
57326, 57328 (October 2, 2008). These
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) 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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Event Description
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s
International Trade Administration
(ITA), in partnership with the U.S.
Department of Energy, is organizing a
Japan-United States Decommissioning
and Remediation Fukushima Recovery
Forum (‘‘Fukushima Recovery Forum’’)
on February 18–19 in Tokyo, Japan. The
Fukushima Recovery Forum will be a
venue for U.S. firms to hear from
Japanese Ministries and commissioning
entities on plans for Fukushima
Recovery and for U.S. and Japanese
firms to share experiences, expertise,
and lessons learned in remediation and
decommissioning, including on work
underway at Fukushima Dai-ichi
Nuclear Power Station, and in Tohoku,
the area affected by the accident at
Fukushima. U.S. firms will also be given
an opportunity to network with
Japanese firms and identify potential
business partners. ITA hopes that this
cooperation between the U.S. and
Japanese private sectors will lead to
solutions that will enhance Fukushima
recovery efforts. ITA is seeking the
participation of a maximum of
approximately 25 U.S. companies that
produce technology or provide services
in the decommissioning or remediation
sector, including water treatment and
waste management. The U.S.
Department of Commerce’s Global
Markets and U.S. & Foreign Commercial
Service (CS) will also be available in
Tokyo to provide its export counseling
services to participating companies.
Support for the Fukushima Recovery
Forum was confirmed at the 2nd
meeting of the U.S-Japan Bilateral
Commission on Civil Nuclear
Cooperation. The Bilateral Commission
serves as a senior-level, standing forum
for consultations on mutual issues of
concern, to further strengthen bilateral
cooperation and to advance shared
interest in the area of civil nuclear
cooperation. The Bilateral Commission
is chaired by the Department of Energy
and Japan’s Ministry of Economy,
Trade, and Industry (METI). There are
five working groups under the Bilateral
Commission to coordinate bilateral
cooperation in the areas of civil nuclear
energy research and development, the
decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
environmental management, emergency
management, nuclear security, and
safety and regulatory issues.

Environmental Management Working
Group (DEMWG) under the Bilateral
Commission addresses the long-term

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates
For Husteel and HYSCO, 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. Husteel and HYSCO reported the name of the
importer of record and the entered value for all of their sales to the
United States during the POR. If Husteel and HYSCO's weighted-average
dumping margins are not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50
percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales
and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
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,\6\ 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.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise
[[Page 78338]]
during the POR produced by Husteel and HYSCO for which they did not
know its 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).
For Husteel and HYSCO, we intend to issue instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of the final results of this review.
For the rescinded companies, antidumping duties shall be assessed
at rates equal to the rates for the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication of the notice of final
results of administrative review for all shipments of CWP from Korea
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for HYSCO and Husteel will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original investigation but the producer has been
covered in a prior complete segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent, the
``all others'' rate established in the order.\7\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder and, with respect to
companies which we rescind in part as a final 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.
The Department is issuing and publishing these results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 18, 2013.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
