Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce will disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with the final results to parties in this proceeding within 
five days of the date of public announcement or, if there is no public 
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the final 
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

there are no new calculations to disclose.

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject 
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. 
Because the weighted-average dumping margins for Dongkuk and Hyundai 
Steel are zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final 
results of this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties in accordance 
with the Final Modification for Reviews.\6\

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).

shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the

Notification to Importers

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties

to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred

increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the 
countervailing duties.

administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
