LTFV. Because the final determination
in this proceeding is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports, or
sales (or the likelihood of sales) for
importation of PC strand no later than
45 days after our final determination. If
the ITC determines that material injury
or threat of material injury does not
exist, the proceeding will be terminated,
and all cash deposits will be refunded.
If the ITC determines that material
injury or threat of material injury does
exist, Commerce will issue an
antidumping duty order directing CBP
to assess, upon further instruction by
Commerce, antidumping duties on all
imports of the subject merchandise,
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
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
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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this
determination and notice in accordance
with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c).
Dated: April 5, 2021.

Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is prestressed concrete steel
wire strand (PC strand), produced from wire
of non-stainless, non-galvanized steel, which
is suitable for use in prestressed concrete
(both pretensioned and post-tensioned)
applications. The product definition
encompasses covered and uncovered strand
and all types, grades, and diameters of PC
strand. PC strand is normally sold in the
United States in sizes ranging from 0.25
inches to 0.70 inches in diameter. PC strand
made from galvanized wire is only excluded
from the scope if the zinc and/or zinc oxide
coating meets or exceeds the 0.40 oz./ft2
standard set forth in ASTM–A–475.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
The PC strand subject to this investigation
is currently classifiable under subheadings
7312.10.3010 and 7312.10.3012 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this investigation
is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 18, 2021, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results.1 This
review covers one producer/exporter of
the subject merchandise, Hyundai Steel
Company. We invited parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. No
party submitted comments.
Accordingly, the final results remain
unchanged from the Preliminary
Results.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are certain hot-rolled, flat-rolled steel
products, with or without patterns in
relief, and whether or not annealed,
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic
substances. The products covered do
not include those that are clad, plated,
or coated with metal. The products
covered include coils that have a width
or other lateral measurement (‘‘width’’)
of 12.7 mm or greater, regardless of
thickness, and regardless of form of coil
(e.g., in successively superimposed
layers, spirally oscillating, etc.). The
products covered also include products
not in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of
a thickness of less than 4.75 mm and a
width that is 12.7 mm or greater and
that measures at least 10 times the
thickness. The products described above
may be rectangular, square, circular, or
other shape and include products of
either rectangular or non-rectangular
cross-section where such cross-section
is achieved subsequent to the rolling
process, i.e., products which have been
‘‘worked after rolling’’ (e.g., products
which have been beveled or rounded at
the edges). For purposes of the width
and thickness requirements referenced
above:
(1) Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within
the scope if application of either the
nominal or actual measurement would
place it within the scope based on the
definitions set forth above unless the
resulting measurement makes the
product covered by the existing

orders on Certain Cut-To-Length
Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products
From the Republic of Korea (A–580–
836; C–580–837), and
(2) where the width and thickness
vary for a specific product (e.g., the
thickness of certain products with nonrectangular cross-section, the width of
certain products with non-rectangular
shape, etc.), the measurement at its
greatest width or thickness applies.
Steel products included in the scope
of this order are products in which: (1)
Iron predominates, by weight, over each
of the other contained elements; (2) the
carbon content is 2 percent or less, by
weight; and (3) none of the elements
listed below exceeds the quantity, by
weight, respectively indicated:
• 2.50 percent of manganese, or
• 3.30 percent of silicon, or
• 1.50 percent of copper, or
• 1.50 percent of aluminum, or
• 1.25 percent of chromium, or
• 0.30 percent of cobalt, or
• 0.40 percent of lead, or
• 2.00 percent of nickel, or
• 0.30 percent of tungsten, or
• 0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
• 0.10 percent of niobium, or
• 0.30 percent of vanadium, or
• 0.30 percent of zirconium.
Unless specifically excluded,
products are included in this scope
regardless of levels of boron and
titanium.
For example, specifically included in
this scope are vacuum degassed, fully
stabilized (commonly referred to as
interstitial-free (IF)) steels, high strength
low alloy (HSLA) steels, the substrate
for motor lamination steels, Advanced
High Strength Steels (AHSS), and Ultra
High Strength Steels (UHSS). IF steels
are recognized as low carbon steels with
micro-alloying levels of elements such
as titanium and/or niobium added to
stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements.
HSLA steels are recognized as steels
with micro-alloying levels of elements
such as chromium, copper, niobium,
titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum.
The substrate for motor lamination
steels contains micro-alloying levels of
elements such as silicon and aluminum.
AHSS and UHSS are considered high

covered whether or not they are high
tensile strength or high elongation
steels.
Subject merchandise includes hotrolled steel that has been further
processed in a third country, including
but not limited to pickling, oiling,
levelling, annealing, tempering, temper
rolling, skin passing, painting,
varnishing, trimming, cutting,
punching, and/or slitting, or any other
processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope
of the Order if performed in the country
of manufacture of the hot-rolled steel.
All products that meet the written
physical description, and in which the
chemistry quantities do not exceed any
one of the noted element levels listed
above, are within the scope of this order
unless specifically excluded. The
following products are outside of and/
or specifically excluded from the scope
of this order:

changes from, or comments upon, the
Preliminary Results, Commerce finds
that there is no reason to modify its
analysis and calculations. Accordingly,
we adopt the analysis and explanation

Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review, in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication). Because
we calculated a zero margin for Hyundai
Steel Company in the final results of
this review, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.8
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of these final
results for all shipments of hot-rolled
steel from Korea 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 Steel
Company will be zero; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company 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 in the
completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review or the original
investigation but the producer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the completed segment
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 6.05
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.9 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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.

(2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product
(e.g., the thickness of certain products with non-rectangular cross-
section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape,
etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies.
Steel products included in the scope of this order are products in
which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other
contained elements; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by
weight; and (3) none of the elements listed below exceeds the quantity,
by weight, respectively indicated:
2.50 percent of manganese, or
3.30 percent of silicon, or
1.50 percent of copper, or
1.50 percent of aluminum, or
1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or
2.00 percent of nickel, or
0.30 percent of tungsten, or
0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.30 percent of vanadium, or
0.30 percent of zirconium.
Unless specifically excluded, products are included in this scope
regardless of levels of boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in this scope are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free
(IF)) steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, the substrate for
motor lamination steels, Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), and
Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS). IF steels are recognized as low
carbon steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as titanium
and/or niobium added to stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA
steels are recognized as steels with micro-alloying levels of elements
such as chromium, copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum.
The substrate for motor lamination steels contains micro-alloying
levels of elements such as silicon and aluminum. AHSS and UHSS are
considered high tensile strength and high elongation steels, although
AHSS and UHSS are covered whether or not they are high tensile strength
or high elongation steels.
Subject merchandise includes hot-rolled steel that has been further
processed in a third country, including but not limited to pickling,
oiling, levelling, annealing, tempering, temper rolling, skin passing,
painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting, punching, and/or slitting, or
any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise
from the scope of the Order if performed in the country of manufacture
of the hot-rolled steel.
All products that meet the written physical description, and in
which the chemistry quantities do not exceed any one of the noted
element levels listed above, are within the scope of this order unless
specifically excluded. The following products are outside of and/or
specifically excluded from the scope of this order:
Universal mill plates (i.e., hot-rolled, flat-rolled
products not in coils that have been rolled on four faces or in a
closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 1,250
mm, of a thickness not less than 4.0 mm, and without patterns in
relief);
Products that have been cold-rolled (cold-reduced) after
hot-rolling; \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ For purposes of this scope exclusion, rolling operations
such as a skin pass, levelling, temper rolling or other minor
rolling operations after the hot-rolling process for purposes of
surface finish, flatness, shape control, or gauge control do not
constitute cold-rolling sufficient to meet this exclusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review
As noted above, Commerce received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. As there are no changes from, or comments upon,
the Preliminary Results, Commerce finds that there is no reason to
modify its analysis and calculations. Accordingly, we adopt the
analysis and explanation in our Preliminary Results for the purposes of
these final results of review and we have not prepared an Issues and
Decision Memorandum to accompany this Federal Register notice. The
final weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for
entries of subject merchandise that were produced and exported by
Hyundai Steel Company during the POR.
[[Page 18502]]
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication). Because we calculated a zero margin for Hyundai Steel
Company in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of
hot-rolled steel from Korea 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 Steel
Company will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by a company 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 in the completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the
original investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the completed segment 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 6.05
percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\9\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with a final results of review
within five days after public announcement of final results.\10\
However, because Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation
methodology used in the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations
to disclose for the final results of review.

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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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/destruction
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
