SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest
Service published a notice of intent
prepare an environmental impact
statement (NOI) in the Federal Register
on May 21, 2014, 88 FR 29158.
Since that publication, there have
been two significant changes in
circumstance for the greater sage-grouse:
• In 2020 Oil and Gas Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement
(https://www.fs.usda.gov/internet/FSE_
DOCUMENTS/fseprd1082964.pdf)
created no-surface occupancy in greater
sage-grouse habitat on the Dakota Prairie
Grasslands removing one of the primary
threats; and
• The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
determined in 2015 that protections
under the Endangered Species Act were
not needed for the species.
Therefore, the Forest Service is
withdrawing the NOI.

Background
On December 11, 2020, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty (AD) order on FSF
from Korea.1 On December 1, 2023,
Commerce published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
Order.2 On February 8, 2024, based on
a timely request for review, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review of the Order.3
This review covers one producer/
exporter of FSF, Samyoung Fitting Co.,
Ltd. (Samyoung). On July 22, 2024,
Commerce tolled certain deadlines in
this administrative proceeding by seven
days.4 On August 8, 2024, Commerce
extended the preliminary results of this
administrative review until December
19, 2024.5 Additionally, on December 9,
2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to
issue the preliminary results in this
administrative review by 90 days.6
Accordingly, the deadline for these
preliminary results is now March 18,
2025.

date for filing case briefs.9 Interested
parties who submit case briefs or
rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must
submit: (1) a table of contents listing
each issue; and (2) a table of
authorities.10
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 brief 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.11 Further, we
request that interested parties limit their
executive summary of each issue to no
more than 450 words, not including
citations. We intend to use the 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 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).12
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing must submit a written request to
the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance, filed electronically via

entries covered by this review.13 If a
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent) in the final
results of this review, we intend to
calculate an importer-specific ad
valorem AD assessment rate based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).14 If the weighted-average
dumping margin or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.15
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Samyoung for
which it did not know that the
merchandise it sold was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate (17.08 percent) if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.16
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.17
Commerce intends 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
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for the company listed

above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is less than 0.50 percent and,
therefore, de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for merchandise exported by a
company not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the completed segment for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or a previous segment, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the
completed segment for the most recent
period for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 17.08 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.18 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, we intend
to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will
include the results of our analysis of all
issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, within 120 days of publication of
these preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1).19
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties, and/or an
increase in the amount of antidumping
duties by the amount of the
countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results of review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Disclosure and Public Comment
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis
performed for these preliminary results to interested parties within
five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days after the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested parties
to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days after the
date of the publication of this notice.\8\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to
issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days
after the date for filing case briefs.\9\ Interested parties who submit
case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a
table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of
authorities.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.309.
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(1); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
\10\ See CFR 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 brief 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.\11\ Further,
we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of
each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the 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
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).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\12\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 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. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of participants and whether any
participant is a foreign national; and (3) a list of issues to be
discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised
in the respective case briefs. An electronically filed hearing request
must be received successfully in its entirety by Commerce's electronic
records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after
the date of publication of this notice.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, upon issuance of the final
results of this administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate
[[Page 13341]]
entries covered by this review.\13\ If a respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent)
in the final results of this review, we intend to calculate an
importer-specific ad valorem AD assessment rate based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined
sales to the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\14\ If the weighted-average dumping margin or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\14\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).
\15\ Id., 77 FR 8102; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Samyoung
for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries
at the all-others rate (17.08 percent) if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise
covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends 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
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the company
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero;
(2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review
but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, or a previous segment, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will continue to be 17.08 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\18\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, we intend to issue the final results of
this administrative review, which will include the results of our
analysis of all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, within
120 days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1).\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act; and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the
amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: March 17, 2025.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance.
