Download as PDF 9615 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 30 / Friday, February 14, 2025 / Notices KG Dongbu Steel appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On July 7, 2023, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce.2 The CIT ordered Commerce to reconsider or further explain Commerce’s determinations that: (1) the first through third debt-toequity restructurings provided a countervailable benefit; (2) Commerce’s determination that the benefits from debt-to-equity restructurings passed through from Dongbu Steel to KG Dongbu Steel despite a change in ownership; (3) whether Commerce’s calculations of the creditworthiness benchmark rate were supported by substantial evidence; and (4) whether Commerce’s calculation of the discount rate for equity upon finding KG Dongbu Steel not equity worthy was supported by substantial evidence.3 In its first remand redetermination, issued in July 2023, Commerce further explained its rationale for determining that the first through third debt-toequity restructurings provided a countervailable benefit, that a benefit 2025, the CIT sustained Commerce’s final redetermination in full.8 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,9 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,10 the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s January 17, 2025, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce’s Final Results. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its Final Results with respect to KG Dongbu Steel as follows: Company Subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.; Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.; Dongbu Incheon Steel Co., Ltd.11 .................................................. 5.89 Cash Deposit Requirements Because the Dongbu Steel Entity has a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review, we will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rate. Liquidation of Suspended Entries At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from liquidating entries that were produced and/or exported by KG Dongbu Steel (formerly, Dongbu Steel), and its cross-owned company, Dongbu Incheon Steel, and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process. khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES passed from Dongbu Steel to the new ownership in KG Dongbu Steel and that the uncreditworthy benchmark rate and unequityworthy discount rate are supported by substantial evidence.4 Regarding the debt-to-equity restructurings, Commerce reiterated that the countervailability determination was attempting to fix in the fourth administrative review a mistake that was made in the three prior administrative reviews which determined KG Dongbu Steel benefited from the debt-to-equity restructuring.5 On April 3, 2024, the CIT remanded Commerce for a second time on each of the issues.6 In its second remand redetermination, issued in July 2024, Commerce determined, under protest, that no benefit was conferred through the first through third debt-to-equity restructurings and that the issue of whether benefits passed through to KG Dongbu Steel was moot.7 On January 17, Administrative Review, 87 FR 2760 (January 19, 2022) (Final Results), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM). 2 See KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd., et al. v.

We will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the ad valorem rate is not zero or de minimis. Where an ad valorem subsidy rate is zero or de minimis,12 we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to countervailing duties.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published notice in 
the Federal Register of February 3, 2025, in which Commerce provided 
notice of Sunset Reviews that are scheduled for initiation in March 
2025. This notice misidentified the country for the antidumping duty 
(AD) order on Sugar from Mexico (A-201-845) as the People's Republic of 
China (China). This notice also inadvertently listed the AD and 
countervailing duty (CVD) orders on Sugar from Mexico under the 
``Antidumping Duty Proceedings'' and ``Countervailing Duty 
Proceedings'' column headers. This notice also incorrectly stated that 
no sunset review of suspended investigations is scheduled for 
initiation in March 2025.
