results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs,
not later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
If TFM’s weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis in the final
results of this review, we will calculate
an importer-specific assessment rate
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for each importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).9 If TFM’s weightedaverage dumping margin or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with
the Final Modification for Reviews.10
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review
and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
TFM for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication
of the notice of final results of this
review for all shipments of OBAs from
Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for companies subject to
this review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of the
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
companies not covered in this review
but covered in a prior segment of this
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, then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 6.19 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation, adjusted for the
export-subsidy rate in the companion
countervailing duty 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 period
of review. 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) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: May 4, 2020.

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), Commerce 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
this review.
For Dongkuk and Hyundai Steel, 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).\8\ For entries of subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Dongkuk or Hyundai Steel for which it did not know its
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 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 these final results of
review.

the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to

[[Page 27364]]
certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to

subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

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

conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a violation
subject to sanction.
