These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Background On August 9, 2023, Commerce published the initiation and preliminary results of this CCR, finding that HDHE is the successor-in-interest to HEES, and should be assigned the same AD cash deposit rate assigned to HEES in the AD order on large power transformers from Korea.1 In the Initiation and Preliminary Results, interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment and to request a public hearing regarding our preliminary findings. HDHE submitted comments agreeing with our preliminary findings, and we received no other comments from interested parties.2 Additionally, we received no requests for a hearing from interested parties. Administrative Protective Order Scope of the Order The products covered by the order are LPTs from Korea. For a full description of the scope of the order, see the Initiation and Preliminary Results.3 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, and because we received no comments from interested parties to the contrary, Commerce continues to find that HDHE is the successor-in-interest to HEES for purposes of the AD order on large power transformers from Korea. As a result of this determination, HDHE is entitled to the same AD cash deposit rate as HEES with respect to entries of subject merchandise in the above-noted proceeding. As there are no changes from the Initiation and Preliminary Results, there is no decision memorandum accompanying this notice and the determination in the Initiation and Preliminary Results is hereby adopted as the final results of this CCR. 1 See Large Power Transformers from the Republic of Korea: Initiation and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 88 FR 53866 (August 9, 2023) (Initiation and Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM). 2 See HDHE’s Letter, ‘‘Case Brief,’’ dated August 16, 2023. 3 See Initiation and Preliminary Results PDM.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The President’s Proclamation on Steel Safeguards mandated that the Departments of Commerce and Treasury institute an import licensing system to facilitate the monitoring of certain steel imports in 2002. In 2005, Commerce enacted regulations that implemented the Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) System and expanded on the licensing system for steel that was part of those safeguards. Most recently, in October 2020, Commerce modified its SIMA regulations to require that steel import license applicants identify the country of melt and pour as an additional field on the steel import license application and expanded the licensing requirement to apply to all steel products. The import license information is necessary to assess import trends of steel products. In order to effectively monitor steel imports, Commerce must collect and provide timely aggregated summaries about the imports. The Steel Import License is the tool used to collect the necessary information. The Census Bureau currently collects import data and disseminates aggregate information about steel imports. However, the time required to collect, process, and disseminate this information through Census can take up to 90 days after importation of the product, giving interested parties and the public far less time to respond to injurious sales.

I. Abstract

    The President's Proclamation on Steel Safeguards mandated that the 
Departments of Commerce and Treasury institute an import licensing 
system to facilitate the monitoring of certain steel imports in 2002. 
In 2005, Commerce enacted regulations that implemented the Steel Import 
Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) System and expanded on the licensing 
system for steel that was part of those safeguards. Most recently, in 
October 2020, Commerce modified its SIMA regulations to require that 
steel import license applicants identify the country of melt and pour 
as an additional field on the steel import license application and 
expanded the licensing requirement to apply to all steel products.
    The import license information is necessary to assess import trends 
of steel products. In order to effectively monitor steel imports, 
Commerce must collect and provide timely aggregated summaries about the 
imports. The Steel Import License is the tool used to collect the 
necessary information. The Census Bureau currently collects import data 
and disseminates aggregate information about steel imports. However, 
the time required to collect, process, and disseminate this information 
through Census can take up to 90 days after importation of the product, 
giving interested parties and the public far less time to respond to 
injurious sales.
