SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On February 10, 2000, Commerce
published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on certain cutto-length carbon-quality steel plate
products (CTL plate) from the Republic
of Korea (Korea).1 On February 2, 2021,
we published in the Federal Register a

for an administrative review Commerce
initiated the administrative review of
four companies.3
On October 14, 2021, Commerce
extended the time limit for issuing the
preliminary results of this review by 117
days, to no later than February 25,
2022.4 For a complete description of the

Rates for Respondents Not Selected for
Individual Examination
The statute 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 examination in an
administrative review. Under section
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2020–2021,’’ dated October
14, 2021.
5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Certain Cut-to-Length
Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products from the

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}.’’
In this review, we have preliminarily
calculated a weighted-average dumping
margin for the mandatory respondent,
Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai
Steel) that is not zero, de minimis, or
determined entirely on the basis of facts
available. Accordingly, Commerce
preliminarily has assigned to the
companies not individually examined,
listed in the chart below, a margin of
6.09 percent based on Hyundai Steel’s
calculated weighted-average dumping
margin.
Preliminary Results of the
Administrative Review
We preliminarily determine that the
following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the respondents for the
period February 1, 2020, through

review, we intend to instruct CBP not to
assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.14 The final results of this
administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping
duties on entries of merchandise
covered by the final results of this
review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.15
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Hyundai
Steel for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate these entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.16
For the companies identified above
that were not selected for individual
examination, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries at the rates at the rates
established after the completion of the
final results of review.
We intend 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication
in the Federal Register of the notice of
final results of this review for all
shipments of CTL plate from Korea
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 in the
completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) 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; and
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 0.98 percent,17 the all-others rate
established in the LTFV 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 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.
Administrative Protective Orders
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). 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 violation subject to sanctions.
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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 10, 2000, Commerce published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel
plate products (CTL plate) from the Republic of Korea (Korea).\1\ On
February 2, 2021, we published in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order.\2\ On
April 1, 2021, based on timely requests for an administrative review
Commerce initiated the administrative review of four companies.\3\

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price and
constructed export price are 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 these
preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of
the topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included
in the appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
a public document and is made available to the public via Enforcement
and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered
users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is available at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Rates for Respondents Not Selected for Individual Examination
The statute 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 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 a weighted-average
dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Hyundai Steel Company
(Hyundai Steel) that is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on
the basis of facts available. Accordingly, Commerce preliminarily has
assigned to the companies not individually examined, listed in the
chart below, a margin of 6.09 percent based on Hyundai Steel's
calculated weighted-average dumping margin.
Preliminary Results of the Administrative Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the respondents for the period February 1,
2020, through January 31, 2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to

Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and

determined. Parties should confirm the date, time, and location of the
hearing two days before the scheduled date. An electronically filed

Commerce intends to issue the final 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
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\12\ If a
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we
intend to 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 those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\13\ If the respondent's
[[Page 11412]]
weighted-average dumping margin or an importer-specific assessment rate
is zero or de minimis in the final results of this review, we intend to
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance
with the Final Modification for Reviews.\14\ The final results of this
administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\13\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\14\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8103; see also
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
\15\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Hyundai Steel for which it did not know its merchandise was destined
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate these entries
at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies identified above that were not selected for
individual examination, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at
the rates at the rates established after the completion of the final
results of review.
We intend 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of final results of this review for all shipments of CTL
plate from Korea 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 in the completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 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; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 0.98 percent,\17\ the
all-others rate established in the LTFV 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 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.
Administrative Protective Orders
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). 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 violation
subject to sanctions.
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: February 22, 2022.
