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 review 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}.’’
For these final results, we calculated
a weighted-average dumping margin
that is not zero, de minimis, or
determined entirely on the basis of facts
available for Hyundai and POSCO/PDW.
Accordingly, Commerce has continued
to assign companies not individually
examined a margin of 11.60 percent,
which is the weighted average of
Hyundai’s and POSCO/PDW’s
calculated weighted-average dumping
margins.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by each
respondent for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company or companies
involved in the transaction. We intend
to issue liquidation instructions to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of
the final results of this administrative
review.
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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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

deposit rate for the companies listed in
these final results will be equal to the

The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for 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 review 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} .''
For these final results, we calculated a weighted-average dumping
margin that is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the
basis of facts available for Hyundai and POSCO/PDW. Accordingly,
Commerce has continued to assign companies not individually examined a
margin of 11.60 percent, which is the weighted average of Hyundai's and
POSCO/PDW's calculated weighted-average dumping margins.
Final Results of Administrative Review
We determine that, for the period of March 7, 2016, through August
31, 2017, the following dumping margins exist:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final
dumping
Producer or exporter margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Steel Company....................................... 36.59
POSCO/POSCO Daewoo Co., Ltd................................. 2.68
Non-examined companies...................................... 11.60
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results of review within five days of the date of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce intends to issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after publication of the final results
of this review. We intend to calculate 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).
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or
companies involved in the transaction. We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review.
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 the companies listed in these final results will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this 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 less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) 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 subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 20.33 percent,\6\ the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties
[[Page 24085]]
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
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), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: May 17, 2019.
