Countervailing Duty Order on Certain
Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products From
the Republic of Korea: Amended Final
Results of the First Administrative
Review
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
U.S. Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is amending the final
results of the administrative review of
the countervailing duty (CVD) order on
certain hot-rolled steel flat products
(hot-rolled steel) from the Republic of
Korea (Korea) to correct a ministerial
error. The period of review (POR) is
August 12, 2016 through December 31,
2016.
DATES: Applicable July 24, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), on
June 19, 2019, Commerce published its
final results of the administrative review
of the CVD order of hot-rolled steel from
Korea.1 On June 24, 2019, POSCO
alleged a calculation error in these Final
Results regarding POSCO’s policy loans
from the Korea Resources Corporation
1 See Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products from
the Republic of Korea: Final Results of the
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 2016,

accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum
(IDM).

(KORES).2 We did not receive any other
ministerial error comments or rebuttal
comments.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is certain hot-rolled steel flat products
from Korea. For a complete description
of the scope of the order, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum
accompanying the Final Results.3
Ministerial Errors
Section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f) define a ‘‘ministerial error’’ 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. As discussed in the
Amended Final Issues and Decision
Memorandum, Commerce finds that the
error alleged by POSCO constitutes a
ministerial error within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.224(f).4 Specifically,
Commerce made an error in the
calculation of the benefit to POSCO
from POSCO’s KORES loans.5
In accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are
amending the Final Results to correct
the ministerial error. Specifically, we
are amending the net subsidy rate for
POSCO.6 The revised net subsidy rate is
provided below.

Memorandum).

Review of Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products

6 Id. Because we relied on POSCO’s subsidy rates
to calculate the rate for non-selected companies
under review, we are revising the calculation for
non-selected companies under review in these
amended final results. After this revision, the rate
for non-selected companies is unchanged from the
Final Results. See Memorandum, ‘‘Countervailing
Duty Administrative Review: Certain Hot-Rolled
Steel Flat Products from the Republic of Korea;

Non-Selected Companies,’’ dated concurrently with

Ministerial Errors
Section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) define a
``ministerial error'' 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. As discussed in the
Amended Final Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce finds that the
error alleged by POSCO constitutes a ministerial error within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(f).\4\ Specifically, Commerce made an error
in the calculation of the benefit to POSCO from POSCO's KORES loans.\5\

Calculations for POSCO,'' dated June 11, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
we are amending the Final Results to correct the ministerial error.
Specifically, we are amending the net subsidy rate for POSCO.\6\ The
revised net subsidy rate is provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Id. Because we relied on POSCO's subsidy rates to calculate
the rate for non-selected companies under review, we are revising
the calculation for non-selected companies under review in these
amended final results. After this revision, the rate for non-
selected companies is unchanged from the Final Results. See
