SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce initiated this
administrative review on November 13,
2017.1 We selected Hyundai and
POSCO/PDW as mandatory
respondents. For a detailed description
of the events that followed the initiation
of this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, dated
concurrently with these preliminary
results and hereby adopted by this
notice.2
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).
Access to ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov and is available to all

Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
A list of the topics discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
attached to this notice as an Appendix.
The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic

Memorandum are identical in content.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
cold-rolled steel flat products (coldrolled steel) from the Republic of Korea.
For the full text of the scope of the
order, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) 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.
Rates for Non-Examined Companies
The statute and Commerce’s
regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to
companies not selected for individual
examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review
pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the
Act. Generally, Commerce looks to
section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in a market economy
investigation, for guidance when
calculating the rate for companies
which were not selected for individual
examination in an administrative
review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act, the all-others rate is normally
‘‘an amount equal to the weighted
average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established
for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.‘‘
In this review, we have preliminarily
calculated weighted-average dumping
margins for Hyundai and POSCO/PDW
that are not zero, de minimis, or
determined entirely on the basis of facts
available. Accordingly, we have
preliminarily assigned to the company
not individually examined (i.e.,
Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd.) a margin of
11.68 percent, which is the weighted
average of Hyundai and POSCO/PDW
calculated weighted-average dumping
margins.3

of this notice.10 Requests should
contain: (1) The party’s name, address
and telephone number; (2) the number
of participants; and (3) a list of issues
parties intend to discuss. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those
raised in the respective case and
rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing
is made, Commerce intends to hold the
hearing at the U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue
NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a date
and time to be determined.11 Parties
should confirm the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before
the scheduled date.
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any case or rebuttal
briefs, no later than 120 days after the
date of publication of this notice, unless
extended.12
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
For any individually examined
respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in
the final results of this review and the
respondent reported reliable entered
values, we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates for
the merchandise based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the examined sales made during the
period of review to each importer and
the total entered value of those same
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If the respondent has not
reported reliable entered values, we will
calculate a per-unit assessment rate for
each importer by dividing the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales made to that importer by
the total sales quantity associated with
those transactions. Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is
zero or de minimis in the final results
of review, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties in

19 CFR 351.310(c).

E:\FR\FM\12OCN1.SGM
12OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 198 / Friday, October 12, 2018 / Notices
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If
a respondent’s 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.’’ 13
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Hyundai
and POSCO/PDW for which the
producer did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, or
for any respondent for which we have
a final determination of no shipments,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company (or companies) involved in the
transaction.14
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
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 Hyundai, POSCO/PDW,
and other companies listed in the final
results of review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this 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 most recently
completed segment of this proceeding in
which they were reviewed; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or the original investigation but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 20.33 percent,15 the all-

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 Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing
these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.

Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is cold-rolled steel flat
products (cold-rolled steel) from the Republic of Korea. For the full
text of the scope of the order, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Constructed export price is calculated in accordance with section 772
of the Act. Normal
[[Page 51662]]
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.
Rates for Non-Examined Companies
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for
individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market
economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for individual examination in an
administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-
others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero
or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .``
In this review, we have preliminarily calculated weighted-average
dumping margins for Hyundai and POSCO/PDW that are not zero, de
minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
Accordingly, we have preliminarily assigned to the company not
individually examined (i.e., Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd.) a margin of
11.68 percent, which is the weighted average of Hyundai and POSCO/PDW
calculated weighted-average dumping margins.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ For more information regarding the calculation of this
margin, see Memorandum, ``Calculation of the Margin for Non-Examined
Companies,'' dated October 3, 2018. As the weighting factor, we
relied on the publicly ranged sales data reported in Hyundai and
POSCO/PDW quantity and value charts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Review
On February 14, 2018, the petitioners \4\ timely withdrew their
review requests for certain companies.\5\ Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole
or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. Accordingly, we are rescinding this
review with respect to the companies for which all review requests have
been withdrawn. For a full description of the methodology and rationale
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. We intend to issue
liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final
results of this review.
For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review and the respondent reported
reliable entered values, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates for the merchandise based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales made during the
period of review to each importer and the total entered value of those
same sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the respondent
has not reported reliable entered values, we will calculate a per-unit
assessment rate for each importer by dividing the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales made to that importer by the
total sales quantity associated with those transactions. Where an
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties in
[[Page 51663]]
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If a respondent's 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{time} here the weighted-average margin of dumping for the exporter
is determined to be zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties will be
assessed.'' \13\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Hyundai and POSCO/PDW for which the producer did not know its
merchandise was destined for the United States, or for any respondent
for which we have a final determination of no shipments, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate company (or companies) involved
in the transaction.\14\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of the subject merchandise 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 Hyundai, POSCO/PDW, and other companies listed in
the final results of review will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this 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 most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or the original investigation but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 20.33 percent,\15\ the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: October 3, 2018.

Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
