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-to-length (not in coils) and without 
patterns in relief), of iron or non-alloy-quality steel; and (2) flat-

scope of the order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:

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.

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to

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.

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 5, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
