Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section
751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed export
price 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. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the
public via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and to all
parties in the Department's Central Records Unit, located at room B8024
of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be found at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

\5\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is above de
minimis in the final results of this review, we will calculate an
importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the
total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\ If the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of reviews,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not to assess
duties on any of its entries in accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In these preliminary results, 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 Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\7\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR 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.
For the companies which were not selected for individual
examination, BDP International, Bookuk Steel Co., Ltd., Samsung C&T
Engineering & Construction Group, Samsung C&T Trading and Investment
Group, and Sung Jin Steel Co., Ltd., we will instruct CBP to apply the
rates listed above to all entries of subject merchandise produced and/
or exported by these firms.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of this review 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
[[Page 12433]]
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for companies subject
to this review will be the rates established in the final results of
the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not

proceeding, 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 producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 0.98 percent,\8\ the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation, adjusted for the
export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 this 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.
The Department is issuing and publishing these results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: February 27, 2017.
