administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on large
residential washers from the Republic of
Korea. The period of review (POR) is
August 3, 2012, through January 31,
2014. The review covers three producers
and exporters of the subject
merchandise, Daewoo Electronics
Corporation (Daewoo), LG Electronics,
Inc. (LGE), and Samsung Electronics
Co., Ltd. (Samsung). We preliminarily
determine that sales of subject
merchandise have been made at prices
below normal value. Interested parties
are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
all large residential washers and certain
subassemblies thereof from Korea. The
products are currently classifiable under
subheadings 8450.20.0040 and
8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff
System of the United States (HTSUS).
Products subject to this order may also
enter under HTSUS subheadings
8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080,
8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000.

Methodology
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). Export
price and constructed export price are
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Normal value is
calculated in accordance with section
773 of the Act. Because mandatory
respondents Daewoo and Samsung
failed to respond to the Department’s
questionnaire, we preliminarily find it
appropriate to use adverse facts
available (AFA) in determining their
weighted-average dumping margins, in
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. For a
full description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum,
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The Preliminary Decision Memorandum
is a public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).2

date of publication of this notice, unless
the deadline is extended.6
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.7 If we continue to rely on
adverse facts available to establish
Daewoo’s and Samsung’s weightedaverage dumping margins, we will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate of 82.41 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR which were produced and/or
exported by Daewoo and Samsung.
For those sales where LG reported the
entered value of its U.S. sales, we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of the
examined sales to that importer. For
those sales where the respondent did
not report the entered value of its U.S.
sales, we calculated importer-specific or
customer-specific per-unit duty
assessment rates by aggregating the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales and
dividing this amount by the total
quantity of those 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 the exporter’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.8
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 LGE for

Cash Deposit Requirements
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 Daewoo, LG,
and Samsung 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 11.80
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.9 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 4, 2015, based on a
timely request for review by
Petitioners,1 the Department published
in the Federal Register a notice of
initiation of an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on steel
wire garment hangers for 30 companies,
covering the period December 1, 2013,
through November 30, 2014.2 On
February 19, 2015, Petitioners withdrew
their request for an administrative
review of these companies.3
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. Petitioners
withdrew their request within the 90day deadline. No other party requested
an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order. As a result, we
are rescinding the administrative review
of steel wire garment hangers from
Taiwan for the POR.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Because the
Department is rescinding this
administrative review in its entirety, the
entries to which this administrative
review pertained shall be assessed
antidumping duties at rates equal to 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
publication of this notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on large
residential washers from the Republic of Korea. The period of review
(POR) is August 3, 2012, through January 31, 2014. The review covers
three producers and exporters of the subject merchandise, Daewoo
Electronics Corporation (Daewoo), LG Electronics, Inc. (LGE), and
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung). We preliminarily determine
that sales of subject merchandise have been made at prices below normal
value. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary
results.
DATES: Effective Date: March 9, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are all large residential washers
and certain subassemblies thereof from Korea. The products are
currently classifiable under subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 8450.20.0080
of the Harmonized Tariff System of the United States (HTSUS). Products
subject to this order may also enter under HTSUS subheadings
8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080, 8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs

Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Export price and constructed export price are calculated in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance
with section 773 of the Act. Because mandatory respondents Daewoo and
Samsung failed to respond to the Department's questionnaire, we
preliminarily find it appropriate to use adverse facts available (AFA)
in determining their weighted-average dumping margins, in accordance
with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this
notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is
on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).\2\
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\7\ If we
continue to rely on adverse facts available to establish Daewoo's and
Samsung's weighted-average dumping margins, we will instruct CBP to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 82.41 percent to all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or exported
by Daewoo and Samsung.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those sales where LG reported the entered value of its U.S.
sales, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the examined sales to the total entered value of the examined sales
to that importer. For those sales where the respondent did not report
the entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific or
customer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates by aggregating the
total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales
and dividing this amount by the total quantity of those 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 the exporter'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.\8\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012); 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 LGE for
[[Page 12458]]
which the reviewed company 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).
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
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 Daewoo, LG, and
Samsung 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 11.80 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\9\ 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, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: March 2, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
