---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from interested parties and record
information, we made no changes to our preliminary weighted-average
dumping margin calculations for Hyundai RB and Hyundai Steel.
Rate for Non-Examined Respondents
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the
establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for
companies not selected for individual 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 an investigation, for guidance when determining the weighted-
average dumping margin 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 and de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely on the basis of facts available. For these
final results of review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping
margin for Hyundai RB that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely
on facts available. Therefore, consistent with our practice, we have
assigned the companies not selected for individual examination the
weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Hyundai RB.
Final Results of Review

average dumping margins exist for the POR:

Disclosure

\5\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations that it performed in connection with the final results of
review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we made
no changes to our preliminary weighted-average dumping margin
calculations for Hyundai RB and Hyundai Steel, there are no revised
margin calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in
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).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the
entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent
did not report entered value, we calculated importer-specific per-unit
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total
quantity of those sales. To determine whether an importer-specific per-
unit duty assessment rate is de minimis, we calculated an estimated
entered value.
Where an importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated
without regard to antidumping duties. Because the weighted-average
dumping margin for Hyundai Steel is zero percent, we intend to instruct
CBP to liquidate the
[[Page 68677]]
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\6\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with Commerce's clarification of its assessment
practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
any of the above-referenced respondents for which they did not know
that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate in the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of 7.08 percent ad
valorem \7\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in these final results; (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed companies not subject to this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review,
a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the producer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and
exporters will continue to be 7.08 percent ad valorem, the all-others
rate established in the LTFV investigation.\9\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the
countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction 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 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: November 9, 2022.
