issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review.
For assessment purposes, the
Department applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in
Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping
Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain
Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification.21 For any individually
examined respondent whose weighted
average dumping margin is above de
minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final
results of this review, the Department
will calculate importer-specific
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales to the total entered value of sales,
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem rate is
greater than de minimis, the Department
will instruct CBP to collect the
appropriate duties at the time of
liquidation.22 Where either a
respondent’s weighted average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.23 For the
respondents that were not selected for
individual examination in this
administrative review and that qualified
for a separate rate, the assessment rate
will be based on the average of the
mandatory respondents.24 We intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate entries
containing subject merchandise
exported by the PRC-wide entity at the
PRC-wide rate.
Pursuant to the Department’s practice,
for entries that were not reported in the
U.S. sales databases submitted by
companies individually examined
during the administrative review, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide
rate. Additionally, if the Department
determines that an exporter had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered
under that exporter’s case number (i.e.,
at that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated
at the PRC-wide rate.25

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
review for shipments of the subject
merchandise from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by sections
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
companies listed above that have a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that established in the final results of
this review (except, if the rate is zero or
de minimis, then zero cash deposit will
be required); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that
received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all
PRC exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled
to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be that for the PRC-wide entity; and
(4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit 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)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during the POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Department’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
This preliminary determination is
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: September 1, 2016.

adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues raised is attached to this notice as
Appendix I. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we made one revision that has
not changed the results for Dongkuk
Steel Mill Co., Ltd., in the
administrative review.4 We made no
changes for Hyundai Steel Company in
the new shipper review.
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
As a result of this administrative
review, we determine that a weightedaverage dumping margin of 1.11 percent
exists for Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd.,
for the period February 1, 2014, through
January 31, 2015.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of these reviews.
For Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd., we
calculated importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).5 For Hyundai Steel
Company, we have not calculated
assessment rates and will instruct CBP
to liquidate all imports produced and
exported by Hyundai Steel Company
without regard to antidumping duties in
accordance with the Final
Modification.6
For entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd., or
Hyundai Steel Company for which they
did not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States, 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.7
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of these
reviews.
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed to parties in this proceeding
within five days after public
announcement of the final results in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
this notice for all shipments of CTL
plate from Korea entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for Dongkuk Steel
Mill Co., Ltd. will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
determined in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by manufacturers
or exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations,
‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and New
Shipper Review of Certain Cut-to-Length CarbonQuality Steel Plate Products from the Republic of

Final Results of the New Shipper Review
As a result of this new shipper review, we determine that a
weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for merchandise
produced and exported by Hyundai Steel Company for the period February

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after public announcement of the final
results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final
results of these reviews.
For Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd., we calculated importer-specific
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\5\ For Hyundai Steel Company, we have not calculated
assessment rates and will instruct CBP to liquidate all imports
produced and exported by Hyundai Steel Company without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with the Final Modification.\6\

assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification).

which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United
States, 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.\7\

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

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 or 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 of administrative
and new shipper reviews in accordance with sections 751(a)(1),
751(a)(2)(B)(iii), 751(a)(3) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
