Large Power Transformers From the
Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review; 2013–2014
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on large power
transformers (LPTs) from the Republic
of Korea (Korea).1 The period of review
(POR) is August 1, 2013, through July
31, 2014. The review covers five
producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise, Hyosung Corporation
(Hyosung), Hyundai Heavy Industries
Co., Ltd. (Hyundai), ILJIN, ILJIN Electric
Co., Ltd. (ILJIN Electric), and LSIS Co.,
Ltd. (LSIS). We preliminarily determine
that sales of subject merchandise by
Hyosung and Hyundai, the two
companies selected for individual
examination, were made at less than
normal value during the POR. Interested
parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.
DATES: Effective Date: September 4,
2015.

liquid dielectric power transformers
(LPTs) having a top power handling
capacity greater than or equal to 60,000
kilovolt amperes (60 megavolt amperes),

complete or incomplete. The
merchandise subject to the order is

(Preliminary Decision Memorandum),
which is issued concurrent with and
hereby adopted by this notice.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement

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. Normal
value is calculated in accordance with
section 773 of the Act. For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine that, for
the period August 1, 2013, through July
31, 2014, the following dumping
margins exist: 2

through July 31, 2014, to calculate a weightedaverage percentage margin for the non-selected
companies (i.e., ILJIN, ILJIN Electric, and LSIS) in
this review, the rate applied to the non-selected
companies is a simple average percentage margin
calculated based on the margins calculated for
Hyosung and Hyundai.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, the Department
shall determine, and Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.11 If respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for an
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of such sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
If respondents’ weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of review, we will
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any
of its entries in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews, i.e.,
‘‘{w}here the weighted-average margin
of dumping for the exporter is
determined to be zero or de minimis, no
antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 12
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.

the cash deposit rate will be the rate

assessment of double antidumping
duties.

Strand From the People’s Republic of

Sunset Review of Countervailing Duty
Order
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset
review, the Department of Commerce
(the ‘‘Department’’) finds that revocation
of the countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’)
order on prestressed concrete steel wire
strand (‘‘PC Strand’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) would likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies at the level
indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ section of this notice.
