2POSCO reported that the company formerly 

known as Daewoo International Corporation (DWI) 

and POSCO Daewoo (PDW) now does business as 

PIC. See POSCO/PDW’s Letter, ‘‘Cold-Rolled Steel 

Flat Products from the Republic of Korea; 2018– 

2019: POSCO’s Respondent Selection Comments,’’ 

dated December 11, 2019, at 2–3. In its 

questionnaire response, POSCO subsequently 

reported that PDW became PIC on March 18, 2019. 

See POSCO Section A Initial Questionnaire 

Response, dated February 18, 2020 at 1 and A–1. 

Based on our analysis in the instant review, we are 

preliminarily collapsing POSCO and PIC, which we

Corporation (PIC), the two companies 

selected for individual examination, did 

not sell certain cold-rolled steel flat 

products (cold-rolled steel) from the 

Republic of Korea (Korea) in the United 

States at prices below normal value 

during the period of review (POR) 

September 1, 2018 through August 31, 

2019. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable January 25, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

These preliminary results are made in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

On November 12, 2019, based on timely 

requests for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on cold-rolled 

steel from Korea for 38 companies.1

Commerce selected Hyundai and 

POSCO/POSCO International 

Corporation (hereafter, POSCO/PIC) 2 as 

the two mandatory respondents in this 

review.3 On February 5, 2020, the 

petitioners 4 withdrew their request for 

review of all companies except for 

Dongbu Incheon Steel Co., Ltd., Dongbu 

Steel Co., Ltd., Hyundai, POSCO, PDW, 

and PIC.5

On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled 

all deadlines in administrative reviews 

by 50 days.6 On July 20, 2020, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results by 100 days, in 

accordance with 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act.7 On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled 

all deadlines in administrative reviews 

by an additional 60 days.8 On December 

3, 2020, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, Commerce 

extended the preliminary results of

review by an additional 18 days, until 

January 15, 2021.9

On October 7, 2020, Commerce 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register partially rescinding the instant 

administrative review of 32 companies 

based on the petitioners’ timely 

withdrawal of their requests for review 

of those companies.10 The 

administrative review will continue 

with respect to KG Dongbu Steel,11

Hyundai, and POSCO/PIC. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.12

A list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as an appendix to this notice. 

The Preliminary 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the Order 13

is cold-rolled steel from Korea. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a) of 

the Act. Commerce has calculated 

constructed export prices in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Normal 

value is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. Commerce 

preliminarily finds that a cost-based 

particular market situation (PMS) 

existed in Korea during the POR 

concerning the cost of hot-rolled coil 

(HRC) as a component of the cost of 

production for the cold-rolled steel that 

Hyundai Steel and POSCO/PIC 

produced.14 Specifically, we quantified 

the impact of the PMS on the material 

cost of HRC, and derived a 

corresponding adjustment factor that, 

when applied to the cost of HRC, 

accounts for the distortions induced by 

the observed PMS.15 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Examined Company 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not 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(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in a market economy 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act, the all-others rate is normally 

‘‘an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

In this review, we preliminarily 

calculated a zero percent dumping 

margin for Hyundai and POSCO/PIC 

and have assigned this rate (i.e., 0.00 

percent) to the company not 

individually examined (i.e., KG Dongbu 

Steel Co., Ltd.).16

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that, for the period September 1, 2018 

through August 31, 2019, the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Hyundai Steel Company ............. 0.00 

POSCO/POSCO International 

Corporation ............................. 0.00 

KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd ......... 0.00

determined.23 Parties should confirm 

the date, time, and location of the 

hearing two days before the scheduled 

date. 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any case or rebuttal 

briefs, no later than 120 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, unless 

extended.24

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.25

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). 

For any individually examined 

respondent whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is not zero or de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in 

the final results of this review and the 

respondent reported reliable entered 

values, we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates for 

the merchandise based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the examined sales made during the 

POR to each importer and the total 

entered value of those same sales, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

If the respondent has not reported 

reliable entered values, we will 

calculate a per-unit assessment rate for 

each importer by dividing the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales made to that importer by 

the total sales quantity associated with 

those transactions. Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of review, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If 

a respondent’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis 

in the final results of review, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties.26

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Hyundai 

and POSCO/PIC for which the producer 

did not know its merchandise was 

destined for the United States, or for any 

respondent for which we have a final 

determination of no shipments, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries at the all-others rate if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company (or 

companies) involved in the 

transaction.27

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of this administrative review for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for Hyundai, POSCO/PIC, 

and other companies listed in the final 

results of review will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters 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 for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which they were reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review or the original investigation but 

the producer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate 

for all other producers or exporters will 

continue to be 20.33 percent,28 the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 POR. 

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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is 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).
