underlying these preliminary results,

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
finds that Iljin Electric Co., Ltd. (Iljin),

transformers from the Republic of Korea
(Korea) at prices below normal value

of August 1, 2022, through July 31,
2023. Commerce also preliminarily
finds that HD Hyundai Electric Co., Ltd.
(Hyundai) did not make sales of large
power transformers from Korea at prices
below NV during the POR. Additionally,
Commerce is rescinding this
administrative review, in part, with
respect Hyosung Heavy Industries
Corporation (Hyosung) because
Hyosung had no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR. We invite
interested parties to comment on these
preliminary results.

and Prolec-GE Waukesha, Inc. (the
petitioners).5 Commerce initiated this
review on October 18, 2023.6 We
selected two mandatory respondents in
this review, Hyundai and Iljin. For a
more detailed description of the events
that followed the initiation of this
review, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.7
Scope of the Order
The scope of this Order covers large
liquid dielectric power transformers
having a top power handling capacity
greater than or equal to 60,000 kilovolt
amperes (60 megavolt amperes),
whether assembled or unassembled,
complete or incomplete.8
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is
Commerce’s practice to rescind an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order when there are
no reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for which
liquidation is suspended.9 Normally,
upon completion of an administrative
review, the suspended entries are
liquidated at the antidumping duty
assessment rate calculated for the
review period.10 Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted,
there must be at least one reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can
instruct CBP to liquidate at the
antidumping duty assessment rate
calculated for the review period.11
There were no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for

A.S; CS Wind UK Limited; CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd; CS Wind Portugal,

results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their briefs that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public,
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\13\ Further,
we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary
of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final results in this administrative review. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the public executive summary of each issue. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\14\ See APO and Service Procedures.

Interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a
written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS.\15\ Requests should
contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the

Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the
respective case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is
made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be
determined. A hearing request must be filed electronically using ACCESS

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, consistent with
section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall
determine, and CBP shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review.
For CS Wind, we preliminarily assigned a subsidy rate in the amount
shown above. For the companies for which this review is rescinded in
the final results, we will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties
on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of
estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
[[Page 74869]]
consumption, during the period January 1, 2022, through December 31,
2022.
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
In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends,
upon publication of the final results, to instruct CBP to collect cash
deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for
the company listed above on shipments of subject merchandise entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this administrative review. For all
non-reviewed firms or companies for which we rescind the review, we
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the most
recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, 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 and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: September 6, 2024.
