‘‘worked after rolling’’ (e.g., products
which have been beveled or rounded at
the edges). For purposes of the width
and thickness requirements referenced
above:
(1) Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within
the scope if application of either the
nominal or actual measurement would
place it within the scope based on the
definitions set forth above, and
(2) where the width and thickness
vary for a specific product (e.g., the
thickness of certain products with nonrectangular cross-section, the width of
certain products with non-rectangular
shape, etc.), the measurement at its
greatest width or thickness applies.
Steel products included in the scope
of these orders are products in which:
(1) Iron predominates, by weight, over
each of the other contained elements; (2)
the carbon content is 2 percent or less,

Amendment to India Final
Determination
On May 31, 2016, JSW Steel Ltd. and
JSW Steel Coated Products Limited
(collectively ‘‘JSW’’) alleged that the
Department made ministerial errors in
the India Final.3 A ministerial error is
defined as an error in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical error resulting from
inaccurate copying, duplication, or the
like, and any other similar type of
unintentional error which the Secretary
considers ministerial.4
The Department reviewed the record
and agrees that three of the errors
referenced in JSW’s allegation constitute
ministerial errors within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.224(f).5 Specifically, the
Department used an incorrect variable
in the recalculation of JSW’s home
market inventory carrying costs,
transposed two digits in the
recalculation of JSW’s indirect selling
expenses, and neglected to fully adjust
JSW’s cash deposit rate for export
subsidies based on adverse facts
available (‘‘AFA’’).6 Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e), the Department is amending
the India Final to reflect the correction
of the ministerial errors described
above. Based on our correction, JSW’s
weighted-average dumping margin

decreased from 4.44 percent to 4.43
percent. Although the ‘‘all-others’’ rate
is based in part on JSW’s dumping
margin, the corrections noted above did
not have an effect on the all-others rate
determined in the India Final.7
Amendment to Taiwan Final
Determination
On June 7, 2016, AK Steel
Corporation (‘‘Petitioner’’) submitted to
the Department a timely allegation that
the Department made ministerial errors
in the margin calculations in the Taiwan
Final.8
The Department reviewed the record
and agrees that the errors referenced in
Petitioner’s allegation constitute
ministerial errors within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.224(f).9 Specifically, as a
result of programming errors in the
application of partial AFA to certain
control numbers, the Department failed
to use the sales quantities to weight
average the costs of certain control
numbers, the Department failed to use
the highest total cost of manufacture as
AFA for certain control numbers, and
the Department incorrectly applied AFA
to certain control numbers.10 Pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.224(e), the Department is
amending the Taiwan Final to reflect
the correction of the ministerial errors
described above. Based on our
correction, the weighted-average
dumping margin for the collapsed entity
comprised of Prosperity Tieh Enterprise
Company., Ltd., Yieh Phui Enterprise
Co., and Synn Industrial Co., Ltd.,
increased from 3.77 percent to 10.34
percent.11 In addition, because the ‘‘allothers’’ rate is based on the corrected
weighted-average dumping margin, the
Department has revised the all-others
rate in this amended final determination
accordingly.12
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on July 15, 2016, in
accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i)
and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified
the Department of its final
determinations in these investigations,
in which it found that an industry in the

United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of certain corrosionresistant steel products from India, Italy,
Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan and that
critical circumstances do not exist with
respect to imports of subject
merchandise from Italy, Korea, the PRC,
and Taiwan that are subject to the
Department’s affirmative critical
circumstances findings.13 Therefore, in
accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the
Act, the Department is issuing these
antidumping duty orders. Because the
ITC determined that imports of certain
corrosion-resistant steel products from
India, Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from India, Italy, Korea,
the PRC, and Taiwan, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess, upon
further instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
certain corrosion-resistant steel
products from India, Italy, Korea, the
PRC, and Taiwan. Antidumping duties
will be assessed on unliquidated entries
of certain corrosion-resistant steel
products from India, Italy, Korea, the
PRC, and Taiwan entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after January 4, 2016, the date of
publication of the preliminary
determinations,14 but will not include

injury determination as further
described below.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department
will instruct CBP to continue to suspend
liquidation on all relevant entries of
certain corrosion-resistant steel
products from India, Italy, Korea, the
PRC, and Taiwan. These instructions
suspending liquidation will remain in
effect until further notice.
The Department will also instruct
CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the amounts as indicated below, which
are adjusted for certain countervailable
subsidies, where appropriate, as
described below. Accordingly, effective
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final affirmative injury determinations,
CBP will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
cash deposit rates listed below.15 The
relevant all-others rates apply to all
producers or exporters not specifically
listed. For the purpose of determining
cash deposit rates, the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins for
imports of subject merchandise from
India, Italy, Korea, and the PRC have
been adjusted, as appropriate, for export
subsidies found in the final
determinations of the companion
countervailing duty investigations of
this merchandise imported from India,
Italy, Korea, and the PRC.16 Because the
Department determined that
countervailable subsidies were not
provided to producers and exporters of
certain corrosion-resistant steel
products from Taiwan, we did not
adjust the weighted-average dumping
margin for export subsidies.17 In the
case of determining cash deposit rates
for subject merchandise from the PRC,
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins were also adjusted, where
appropriate, for estimated domestic
subsidy pass-through.18
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters

exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
certain corrosion-resistant steel
products from India, Italy, Korea, the
PRC, and Taiwan, the Department
extended the four-month period to six
months in each case.19 In the underlying
investigations, the Department
published the preliminary
determinations on January 4, 2016.
Therefore, the extended period,
beginning on the date of publication of
the preliminary determination, ended
on July 2, 2016. Furthermore, section
737(b) of the Act states that definitive
duties are to begin on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, the
Department will instruct CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation
and to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of certain corrosion-resistant
steel products from India, Italy, Korea,
the PRC, and Taiwan entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption after July 3, 2016, the date
on which the provisional measures
expired, until and through the day
preceding the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determinations in the
Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation will resume on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC’s negative
critical circumstances determination on
imports of subject merchandise from
Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan, the
Department will instruct CBP to lift
suspension and to refund any cash
deposits made to secure the payment of
estimated antidumping duties with
respect to entries of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after October 6,
2015 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of
publication of the preliminary
determinations), but before January 4,
2016, (i.e., the date of publication of the
preliminary determinations). With
regard to the ITC’s negative critical
circumstances determination on imports
of subject merchandise from Italy, the
Department will instruct CBP to lift
suspension and to refund any cash
deposits made to secure payment of
estimated antidumping duties with
respect to entries of subject merchandise

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on June 2,
2016, the Department published its affirmative final determinations in
the LTFV investigations of certain corrosion-resistant steel products
from India, Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan.\1\ On July 15, 2016, the
ITC notified the Department of its affirmative determination that an
industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of the LTFV imports of
certain corrosion-resistant steel products from India, Italy, Korea,
the PRC, and Taiwan, and its determination that critical circumstances
do not exist with respect to imports of subject merchandise from Italy,
Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan that are subject to the Department's
affirmative critical circumstances findings.\2\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are certain flat-rolled steel
products, either clad, plated, or coated with corrosion-resistant
metals such as zinc, aluminum, or zinc-, aluminum-, nickel- or iron-
based alloys, whether or not corrugated or painted, varnished,
laminated, or coated with plastics or other non-metallic substances in
addition to the metallic coating. The products covered include coils
that have a width of 12.7 mm or greater, regardless of form of coil
(e.g., in successively superimposed layers, spirally oscillating,
etc.). The products covered also include products not in coils (e.g.,
in straight lengths) of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and a width that
is 12.7 mm or greater and that measures at least 10 times the
thickness. The products covered also include products not in coils
(e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more and a
width exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least twice the thickness. The
products described above may be rectangular, square, circular, or other
shape and include products of either rectangular or non-rectangular
cross-section where such cross-section is achieved subsequent to the
rolling process, i.e., products which have been ``worked after
rolling'' (e.g., products which have been beveled or rounded at the
edges). For purposes of the width and thickness requirements referenced
above:
(1) Where the nominal and actual measurements vary, a product is
within the scope if application of either the nominal or actual
measurement would place it within the scope based on the definitions
set forth above, and
(2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product
(e.g., the thickness of certain products with non-rectangular cross-
section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape,
etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies.
Steel products included in the scope of these orders are products
in which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other
contained elements; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by
weight; and (3) none of the elements listed below exceeds the quantity,
by weight, respectively indicated:
2.50 percent of manganese, or
3.30 percent of silicon, or
1.50 percent of copper, or
1.50 percent of aluminum, or
1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or
2.00 percent of nickel, or
0.30 percent of tungsten (also called wolfram), or
0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium (also called columbium), or
0.30 percent of vanadium, or
0.30 percent of zirconium
Unless specifically excluded, products are included in this scope
regardless of levels of boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in this scope are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as
[[Page 48391]]
interstitial-free (IF)) steels and high strength low alloy (HSLA)
steels. IF steels are recognized as low carbon steels with micro-
alloying levels of elements such as titanium and/or niobium added to
stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA steels are recognized as
steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as chromium, copper,
niobium, titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum.
Furthermore, this scope also includes Advanced High Strength Steels
(AHSS) and Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS), both of which are
considered high tensile strength and high elongation steels.
Subject merchandise also includes corrosion-resistant steel that
has been further processed in a third country, including but not
limited to annealing, tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming,
cutting, punching and/or slitting or any other processing that would
not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the orders if
performed in the country of manufacture of the in-scope corrosion
resistant steel.
All products that meet the written physical description, and in
which the chemistry quantities do not exceed any one of the noted
element levels listed above, are within the scope of these orders
unless specifically excluded. The following products are outside of
and/or specifically excluded from the scope of these orders:
Flat-rolled steel products either plated or coated with
tin, lead, chromium, chromium oxides, both tin and lead (``terne
plate''), or both chromium and chromium oxides (``tin free steel''),
whether or not painted, varnished or coated with plastics or other non-
metallic substances in addition to the metallic coating;
Clad products in straight lengths of 4.7625 mm or more in
composite thickness and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and measures at
least twice the thickness; and
Certain clad stainless flat-rolled products, which are
three-layered corrosion-resistant flat-rolled steel products less than
4.75 mm in composite thickness that consist of a flat-rolled steel
product clad on both sides with stainless steel in a 20%-60%-20% ratio.

Amendment to India Final Determination
On May 31, 2016, JSW Steel Ltd. and JSW Steel Coated Products
Limited (collectively ``JSW'') alleged that the Department made
ministerial errors in the India Final.\3\ A ministerial error is
defined as an error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional
error which the Secretary considers ministerial.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce from JSW ``JSW's
Ministerial Error Comments in Response to the Department's Final
Determination'' (May 31, 2016).
\4\ See section 735(e) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department reviewed the record and agrees that three of the
errors referenced in JSW's allegation constitute ministerial errors
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(f).\5\ Specifically, the
Department used an incorrect variable in the recalculation of JSW's
home market inventory carrying costs, transposed two digits in the
recalculation of JSW's indirect selling expenses, and neglected to
fully adjust JSW's cash deposit rate for export subsidies based on
adverse facts available (``AFA'').\6\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
the Department is amending the India Final to reflect the correction of
the ministerial errors described above. Based on our correction, JSW's
weighted-average dumping margin decreased from 4.44 percent to 4.43
percent. Although the ``all-others'' rate is based in part on JSW's
dumping margin, the corrections noted above did not have an effect on
the all-others rate determined in the India Final.\7\

Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations

Steel Products from India: Allegation of Ministerial Errors in the
Final Determination'' (July 5, 2016) (``India Ministerial Error
Memo'').

Amendment to Taiwan Final Determination
On June 7, 2016, AK Steel Corporation (``Petitioner'') submitted to
the Department a timely allegation that the Department made ministerial
errors in the margin calculations in the Taiwan Final.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce from Petitioners
``Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products From Taiwan:
Petitioner's Ministerial Error Comments'' (June 7, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department reviewed the record and agrees that the errors
referenced in Petitioner's allegation constitute ministerial errors
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(f).\9\ Specifically, as a result
of programming errors in the application of partial AFA to certain
control numbers, the Department failed to use the sales quantities to
weight average the costs of certain control numbers, the Department
failed to use the highest total cost of manufacture as AFA for certain
control numbers, and the Department incorrectly applied AFA to certain
control numbers.\10\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), the Department is
amending the Taiwan Final to reflect the correction of the ministerial
errors described above. Based on our correction, the weighted-average
dumping margin for the collapsed entity comprised of Prosperity Tieh
Enterprise Company., Ltd., Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., and Synn
Industrial Co., Ltd., increased from 3.77 percent to 10.34 percent.\11\
In addition, because the ``all-others'' rate is based on the corrected
weighted-average dumping margin, the Department has revised the all-
others rate in this amended final determination accordingly.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Memorandum to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations

the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Corrosion-Resistant
Steel Products from Taiwan'' (July 15, 2016).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on July 15, 2016, in accordance with sections
735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department
of its final determinations in these investigations, in which it found
that an industry in the
[[Page 48392]]
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of certain
corrosion-resistant steel products from India, Italy, Korea, the PRC,
and Taiwan and that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to
imports of subject merchandise from Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan
that are subject to the Department's affirmative critical circumstances
findings.\13\ Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the
Act, the Department is issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because
the ITC determined that imports of certain corrosion-resistant steel
products from India, Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from
India, Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See ITC Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the
Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of certain corrosion-resistant
steel products from India, Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan.
Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of certain
corrosion-resistant steel products from India, Italy, Korea, the PRC,
and Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after January 4, 2016, the date of publication of the preliminary
determinations,\14\ but will not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of
the ITC's final injury determination as further described below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department
will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant
entries of certain corrosion-resistant steel products from India,
Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan. These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
The Department will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits
equal to the amounts as indicated below, which are adjusted for certain
countervailable subsidies, where appropriate, as described below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final
affirmative injury determinations, CBP will require, at the same time
as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the cash deposit rates listed
below.\15\ The relevant all-others rates apply to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed. For the purpose of determining cash
deposit rates, the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for
imports of subject merchandise from India, Italy, Korea, and the PRC
have been adjusted, as appropriate, for export subsidies found in the
final determinations of the companion countervailing duty
investigations of this merchandise imported from India, Italy, Korea,
and the PRC.\16\ Because the Department determined that countervailable
subsidies were not provided to producers and exporters of certain
corrosion-resistant steel products from Taiwan, we did not adjust the
weighted-average dumping margin for export subsidies.\17\ In the case
of determining cash deposit rates for subject merchandise from the PRC,
estimated weighted-average dumping margins were also adjusted, where
appropriate, for estimated domestic subsidy pass-through.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See section 736(a)(3) of the Act.
\16\ See India Final; Italy Final; Korea Final; and PRC Final.
See also section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act.
\17\ See Countervailing Duty Investigation of Certain Corrosion-
Resistant Steel Products From Taiwan: Final Negative Countervailing
Duty Determination, 81 FR 35299 (June 2, 2016).
\18\ See China Final, 81 FR at 35318. See also section 777A(f)
of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant
proportion of certain corrosion-resistant steel products from India,
Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan, the Department extended the four-
month period to six months in each case.\19\ In the underlying
investigations, the Department published the preliminary determinations
on January 4, 2016. Therefore, the extended period, beginning on the
date of publication of the preliminary determination, ended on July 2,
2016. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act states that definitive
duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final
injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See India Prelim; Italy Prelim; Korea Prelim; PRC Prelim;
and Taiwan Prelim.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, the Department will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension
of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of certain corrosion-resistant steel products from
India, Italy, Korea, the PRC, and Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption after July 3, 2016, the date on which the
provisional measures expired, until and through the day preceding the
date of publication of the ITC's final injury determinations in the
Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of
publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances
determination on imports of subject merchandise from Korea, the PRC,
and Taiwan, the Department will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to
refund any cash deposits made to secure the payment of estimated
antidumping duties with respect to entries of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
October 6, 2015 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of publication of the
preliminary determinations), but before January 4, 2016, (i.e., the
date of publication of the preliminary determinations). With regard to
the ITC's negative critical circumstances determination on imports of
subject merchandise from Italy, the Department will instruct CBP to
lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to secure payment
of estimated antidumping duties with respect to entries of subject
merchandise
[[Page 48393]]
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption by one respondent
on or after March 4, 2016 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of
publication of the final determination for Italy), but before June 2,
2016, (i.e., the date of publication of the final determination for
Italy).\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ In the Italy Final, the Department found that critical
circumstances existed for Marcegaglia S.p.A. Because we calculated a
de minimis preliminary dumping margin for Marcegaglia S.p.A., we did
not instruct CBP to collect cash deposits until 90 days before the
Italy Final.
