accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
This review covers multiple exporters/
producers, one of which is being
individually examined as a mandatory
respondent. We determine that Dongkuk
Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM) received a de
minimis net subsidy rate during the
POR. We have used DSM’s total net
subsidy rate as the rate for the
remaining five companies subject to
review. Additionally, the Department
has rescinded the review of five
companies that timely certified that they
had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR. Our analysis of comments
received is contained in the Decision
Memorandum accompanying this
Federal Register notice.1 The final net
subsidy rates are listed below in the
‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section.
These subsidy rates are unchanged from

preliminary results of review of the CVD
order on CTL Plate from the Republic of
Korea for the POR.5
The Department received one case
brief from Samsung C&T Corp
(Samsung) regarding its decision not to
rescind Samsung from the
administrative review.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain hot-rolled carbon-quality steel:
(1) Universal mill plates (i.e., flat-rolled
products rolled on four faces or in a
closed box pass, of a width exceeding
150 mm but not exceeding 1250 mm,
and of a nominal or actual thickness of
not less than 4 mm, which are cut-tolength (not in coils) and without
patterns in relief), of iron or non-alloyquality steel; and (2) flat-rolled
products, hot-rolled, of a nominal or
actual thickness of 4.75 mm or more and
of a width which exceeds 150 mm and
measures at least twice the thickness,
and which are cut-to-length (not in
coils).
The merchandise subject to the order
is currently classifiable in the HTSUS

Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the
subsidy programs found countervailable
during the POR, we determine that there
is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided
financial contribution that confers a
benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific. See sections
771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E)
of the Act regarding benefit; and section
771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in Samsung’s case
brief, the only case brief submitted in
this proceeding, are addressed in the
Decision Memorandum. A list of the
issues which Samsung raised, and to
which we responded in the Decision
Memorandum, is attached to this notice
as Appendix I. The Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
IA ACCESS is available to registered
users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov, and is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, room 7046 of the main
Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly

Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Decision Memorandum
are identical in content.
Rescission of Administrative Review
Between April 10 and May 23, 2013,
we received timely-filed no shipment
certifications from Daewoo International
Corp. (Daewoo), Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.
(Dongbu), GS Global Corp. (GS Global),
Hyosung Corporation (Hyosung), and
Hyundai Steel Co. (Hyundai). Because
these companies timely filed no
shipment certifications and there is no
evidence on the record to indicate that
these companies had sales of subject
merchandise during the POR, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department
is rescinding the review with respect to
Daewoo, Dongbu, GS Global, Hyosung,
and Hyundai.
Final Results of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated an
individual subsidy rate for the
mandatory respondent, DSM. Because
DSM is the sole, mandatory respondent,
we assigned to those companies not
selected for individual review, the rate
calculated for DSM. As a result of this
review, we determine the listed net
subsidy rates for 2012:

Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), the Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15
days after the date of publication of
these final results of review to liquidate
shipments of subject merchandise by
respondents entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
January 1, 2012, through December 31,
2012, without regard to CVDs because a
de minimis subsidy rate was calculated
for each company as the ad valorem
assessment rate listed above. We will
also instruct CBP to continue to suspend
liquidation but to collect no cash
deposits of estimated CVDs on
shipments of the subject merchandise
by the companies listed above entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of
review.
For the companies for which this
review is rescinded, countervailing
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to
the cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, during the
period January 1, 2012, through
December 31, 2012, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.2129(c)(1)(i).
For all non-reviewed companies, we
will instruct CBP to continue to collect
cash deposits at the most recent
company-specific or country-wide rate
applicable to the company. Accordingly,
the cash deposit rates that will be
applied to companies covered by this
order, but not examined in this review,
are those established in the most
recently completed administrative
proceeding for each company. The cash
deposit rates for all companies not
covered by this review are not changed
by the results of this review, and remain
in effect until further notice.
Return or Destruction of Proprietary
Information
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return/

Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable during the POR, we determine that there is a subsidy,
i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that confers a
benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific. See
sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding financial contribution;
section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of
the Act regarding specificity. For a complete description of the
methodology, see the Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in Samsung's case brief, the only case brief
submitted in this proceeding, are addressed in the Decision Memorandum.
A list of the issues which Samsung raised, and to which we responded in
the Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice as Appendix I. The
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov, and is
available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the
main Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Decision Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Rescission of Administrative Review
Between April 10 and May 23, 2013, we received timely-filed no
shipment certifications from Daewoo International Corp. (Daewoo),
Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. (Dongbu), GS Global Corp. (GS Global), Hyosung
Corporation (Hyosung), and Hyundai Steel Co. (Hyundai). Because these
companies timely filed no shipment certifications and there is no
evidence on the record to indicate that these companies had sales of
subject merchandise during the POR, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3),
the Department is rescinding the review with respect to Daewoo, Dongbu,
GS Global, Hyosung, and Hyundai.
Final Results of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated an
individual subsidy rate for the mandatory respondent, DSM. Because DSM
is the sole, mandatory respondent, we assigned to those companies not
selected for individual review, the rate calculated for DSM. As a
result of this review, we determine the listed net subsidy rates for
2012:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company 2012 Ad valorem rate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd........... 0.11% de minimis.
Edgen Murray Corporation.............. de minimis.
Kyoungil Col., Ltd.................... de minimis.
Samsung C&T Corporation............... de minimis.
[[Page 46772]]
Samwoo EMC Co., Ltd................... de minimis.
TCC Steel Corp........................ de minimis.

Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), the Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) 15 days after the date of publication of these final results of
review to liquidate shipments of subject merchandise by respondents
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, without regard to CVDs
because a de minimis subsidy rate was calculated for each company as
the ad valorem assessment rate listed above. We will also instruct CBP
to continue to suspend liquidation but to collect no cash deposits of
estimated CVDs on shipments of the subject merchandise by the companies
listed above entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on
or after the date of publication of the final results of review.
For the companies for which this review is rescinded,
countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period
January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.2129(c)(1)(i).
For all non-reviewed companies, we will instruct CBP to continue to
collect cash deposits at the most recent company-specific or country-
wide rate applicable to the company. Accordingly, the cash deposit
rates that will be applied to companies covered by this order, but not
examined in this review, are those established in the most recently
completed administrative proceeding for each company. The cash deposit
rates for all companies not covered by this review are not changed by
the results of this review, and remain in effect until further notice.
Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 5, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
