SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Final Results of CCRs On October 17, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results,1 determining that HSP is the successorin-interest to Hyundai Steel for purposes of determining AD cash deposits under the AD orders on CWP, OCTG, WLP, and LDWP from Korea 2 and providing interested parties with an opportunity to comment.3 No interested party submitted comments on the Preliminary Results. For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, and because we received no comments from interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we continue to find that HSP is the successor-in-interest to Hyundai Steel with respect to the subject merchandise and the Orders. As a result of this determination, and consistent with our established practice,5 we find that HSP is entitled to the AD cash deposit rates applicable to Hyundai Steel for entries of subject merchandise. Because there are no changes from the Preliminary Results, there is no decision memorandum accompanying this notice, and we are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results of these CCRs. Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by HSP and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at Hyundai Steel’s AD cash deposit rates in effect for the respective Orders.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed is 
attached as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on comments received from interested parties and record 
information, we made certain changes from the Preliminary Results for 
Assan Al[uuml]minyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Kibar D[inodot][scedil] 
Ticaret A.[Scedil]. (Kibar Dis) (collectively, Assan) and the companies 
not selected for individual review. These changes are explained in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Methodology

    Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 
For each subsidy program found countervailable, Commerce finds that 
there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution 
that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 
specific.\6\ For a description of the methodology underlying all of 
Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding 
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companies Not Selected for Individual Review

    The Act and Commerce's regulations do not directly address the 
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for 
individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an 
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. 
Generally, Commerce looks to section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which 
provides instructions for determining the all-others rate in an 
investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for companies 
that were not selected for individual examination in an administrative 
review. Section 777A(e)(2) of the Act provides that ``the individual 
countervailable subsidy rates determined under subparagraph (A) shall 
be used to determine the all-others rate under section 705(c)(5) {of 
the Act{time} .'' Under section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 
rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of the 
countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and producers 
individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis 
countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates determined entirely {on 
the basis of facts available{time} .''
    Accordingly, to determine the rate for companies not selected for 
individual examination, Commerce's practice is to weight average the 
net subsidy rates for the selected mandatory respondents, excluding 
rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts 
available.\7\ In this case, Commerce found a de minimis rate for 
Teknik. Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis or based 
entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated for Assan. 
Consequently, the rate calculated for Assan is also assigned as the 
rate for the non-selected companies.

13th (2008) Countervailing Duty Administrative Review,75 FR 37386,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The companies for which a review was requested, which were not 
selected as mandatory respondents or found to be cross-owned with a 
mandatory respondent, are: ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.; Kibar 
Dis Ticaret A.S; Kibar Holding A.S.; Kibar Americas, Inc.; P.M.S. Metal 
Profil Aluminum Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S.; and TAC Metal Ticaret A.S.

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) and (a)(2)(C) of the Act, 
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 
estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for the companies 
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. Because the rate 
calculated for Teknik is de minimis, no cash deposit will be required 
on shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the 
final results of this review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will 
instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing duties at the all-others rate or the most recent 
company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These 
cash deposit requirements, effective upon publication of these final 
results, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
the administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    Commerce is issuing the final results 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 6, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
