Background
Commerce published the Final
Results of this review in the Federal

24, 2023, we received a timely
submitted ministerial error allegation
from Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai
Steel).2 We are amending the Final

Ministerial Error
We agree with Hyundai Steel that
Commerce made a ministerial error in
the Final Results within the meaning of
section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f) by inadvertently not updating
the program with revised cost data from
the Final Results when merging it with
U.S. sale data, resulting in an incorrect
margin calculation for Hyundai Steel.
Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e), Commerce is amending the
Final Results to reflect the correction of
this ministerial error in the calculation
of Hyundai Steel’s antidumping duty
margin rate, which changes from 0.88
percent to 0.84 percent.
For a detailed discussion of
Commerce’s analysis, see the Ministerial
Error Memorandum and Amended Final
Results Analysis Memorandum.4
Furthermore, we are amending the rate
for the companies not selected for
individual examination in this review
based on the weighted-average dumping
margins calculated for the mandatory
respondents,5 which changes from 0.88
percent to 0.84 percent.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the
ministerial error described above,
Commerce determines that the

We intend to disclose the calculations
performed in connection with these
amended final results of review to
parties in this review within five days
after public announcement of the
amended final results, or if there is no
public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) 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
amended final results of this review.
For Hyundai Steel, we calculated
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
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 POSCO’s
weighted-average dumping margin was
not changed in these amended final
results, we will continue to instruct CBP
to liquidate POSCO’s entries without

regard to duties in accordance with 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1).
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Hyundai
Steel for which it did not know that 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.
For the companies identified above
that were not selected for individual
examination, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries at the rate established
in these amended final results of review.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the amended 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
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the following
amended cash deposit requirements will
be retroactively effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise that
entered, or were withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
April 20, 2023, the date of publication
of the Final Results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
amended cash deposit rate for the
companies listed above will be equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin
established in these amended final
results of review; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a
prior completed 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, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the producer has been
covered in a prior completed segment of
this proceeding, 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 allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation for this
proceeding.6 These amended 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 and/or countervailing
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 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 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 these
amended final results of review in
accordance with sections 751(h) and
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Final Results of this review in the Federal
Register on April 20, 2023.\1\ On April 24, 2023, we received a timely
submitted ministerial error allegation from Hyundai Steel Company
(Hyundai Steel).\2\ We are amending the Final Results to correct the
ministerial error raised by Hyundai Steel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the Republic
of Korea: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;

\2\ See Hyundai Steel's Letter, ``Hyundai Steel's Comments on
Ministerial Error in Final Results,'' dated April 24, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), includes ``errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type
of unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' \3\ With respect to final results of administrative
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any
comments received and if appropriate, correct any ministerial error by
amending . . . the final results of review . . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Error
We agree with Hyundai Steel that Commerce made a ministerial error
in the Final Results within the meaning of section 751(h) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.224(f) by inadvertently not updating the program with
revised cost data from the Final Results when merging it with U.S. sale
data, resulting in an incorrect margin calculation for Hyundai Steel.
Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the
Final Results to reflect the correction of this ministerial error in
the calculation of Hyundai Steel's antidumping duty margin rate, which
changes from 0.88 percent to 0.84 percent.
For a detailed discussion of Commerce's analysis, see the
Ministerial Error Memorandum and Amended Final Results Analysis
Memorandum.\4\ Furthermore, we are amending the rate for the companies
not selected for individual examination in this review based on the
weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the mandatory
respondents,\5\ which changes from 0.88 percent to 0.84 percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Memoranda, ``Ministerial Error Memorandum for the Final
Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2020-2021:

dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice
(Ministerial Error Memorandum); and ``Amended Final Results for
Hyundai Steel Company,'' dated concurrently with this notice
(Amended Final Results Analysis Memorandum).

(Commerce treated POSCO and POSCO International Corporation as a
single entity) remains unchanged from the Final Results and
continues to be 0.00 percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial error described above,

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) 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 amended final
results of this review.
For Hyundai Steel, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates
on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 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 POSCO's weighted-average dumping margin was
not changed in these amended final results, we will continue to
instruct CBP to liquidate POSCO's entries without
[[Page 29636]]
regard to duties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1).
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Hyundai Steel for which it did not know that its merchandise was

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
For the companies identified above that were not selected for
individual examination, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at
the rate established in these amended final results of review.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the amended 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
