products (CORE) from the Republic of

continues to find KG Dongbu Steel is 

not the successor-in-interest to Dongbu 

Steel and Dongbu Incheon for purposes 

of countervailing duty (CVD) cash 

deposits and liabilities pursuant to the 

CVD orders on cold-rolled steel and 

CORE, because there was a significant 

change in ownership and operations 

that could have affected the nature and 

extent of the countervailable subsidies 

attributable to KG Dongbu Steel.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 5, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of the 

changed circumstances reviews (CCRs) 

of the AD and CVD orders on coldrolled steel and CORE from Korea.1 In 

the Preliminary Results, interested 

parties were provided an opportunity to 

comment and request a public hearing 

regarding our preliminary findings. We 

received no comments from interested 

parties, nor was a public hearing 

requested. 

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these CCRs 

are cold-rolled steel and CORE from 

Korea. For full descriptions of the scope 

of the orders, see the Preliminary 

Results and accompanying Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of the Changed 

Circumstances Reviews 

For the reasons stated in the 

Preliminary Results, and because we 

received no comments from interested 

parties, Commerce continues to find 

that KG Dongbu Steel is the successorin-interest to Dongbu Steel and Dongbu 

Incheon for AD purposes. As a result of 

this determination, we find it 

appropriate to apply to KG Dongbu Steel 

AD cash deposits requirements and 

liabilities at the rates currently in effect 

for Dongbu Steel/Dongbu Incheon. For 

CVD purposes, we continue to find that 

changes in ownership and management 

were significant and, thus, that it is not 

appropriate to apply the CVD cash 

deposit requirements and liabilities 

currently in effect for Dongbu Steel/ 

Dongbu Incheon to KG Dongbu Steel. 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to suspend 

liquidation of all shipments of subject 

merchandise produced or exported by 

KG Dongbu Steel and entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice in the Federal 

Register at the current antidumping 

duty cash-deposit rate on cold-rolled 

steel and CORE in effect for Dongbu 

Steel/Dongbu Incheon. This cash 

deposit requirement shall remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.216(b), 351.221(b) and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 17, 2020, Commerce 

initiated this administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

hot-rolled steel flat products (hot-rolled 

steel) from Australia in accordance with 

section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act).1 This review 

covers one producer/exporter of subject 

merchandise, the collapsed entity, 

BlueScope Steel (AIS) Pty Ltd., 

BlueScope Steel Ltd., and BlueScope 

Steel Distribution Pty Ltd. (collectively, 

BlueScope). On April 24, 2020, 

Commerce exercised its discretion to 

toll all deadlines for administrative 

reviews by 50 days, resulting in a 

revised deadline for these preliminary 

results.2 On July 21, 2020, Commerce 

again tolled all deadlines in 

administrative reviews by an additional 

60 days.3 Additionally, Commerce 

exercised its discretion to extend the 

deadline for the preliminary results 

until February 17, 2021.4

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this Order 5

are certain hot-rolled, flat-rolled steel 

products. For a full description of the 

scope, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.6

Decision Memorandum is available at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. A list 

of the topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as an appendix to this notice. 

Intent To Rescind Review in Part 

In the Initiation Notice, Commerce 

inadvertently included as subject to the 

review a U.S. company, i.e., AJU Steel 

USA Inc., for which a review should not 

have been initiated. As such, Commerce 

intends to rescind the review with 

respect to AJU Steel USA Inc. After the 

completion of the final results of review, 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on any 

suspended entries of hot-rolled steel 

from AJU Steel USA Inc. at the rate 

equal to the cash deposit rate of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse for consumption. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period October 1, 

2018, through September 30, 2019: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties within five days 

after public announcement of the 

preliminary results.7 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(c), interested parties may 

submit case briefs no later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues 

raised in the case briefs, may be filed 

not later than seven days after the date 

for filing case briefs.8 Commerce 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information until further 

notice.9 Parties who submit case briefs 

or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue, 

(2) a brief summary of the argument, 

and (3) a table of authorities.10 Case and 

rebuttal briefs should be filed using 

ACCESS 11 and must be served on 

interested parties.12 Executive 

summaries should be limited to five 

pages total, including footnotes. 

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 (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. 

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). 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. If BlueScope’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

above de minimis in the final results of 

this review, we will calculate an 

importer-specific assessment rate on the 

basis of the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).13 If 

BlueScope’s weighted-average dumping 

margin or an importer-specific 

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.14 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.15

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by BlueScope 

for which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined to the United 

States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.16

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 cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of hot-rolled steel from Australia 

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 BlueScope will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review; (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

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established in the completed segment 

for the most recent period for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 29.58 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value investigation. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 11, 2019, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of the 

2018—2019 administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on 

electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China) with respect to one company, 

Duracell (China) Limited (DCL).1

Commerce subsequently issued an AD 

questionnaire, and supplemental 

questionnaires, to DCL and received 

timely responses thereto. For additional 

background, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

includes all manganese dioxide (MnO2) 

that has been manufactured in an 

electrolysis process, whether in powder, 

chip, or plate form. Excluded from the 

scope are natural manganese dioxide 

(NMD) and chemical manganese dioxide 

(CMD). The merchandise subject to the 

order is classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) at subheading 2820.10.00.00. 

While the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our decision, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the sections in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached in 

the 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 https://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 electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Preliminary Rescission of the 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

preliminarily finds that DCL, and its 

U.S. affiliates, did not sell subject 

merchandise to unaffiliated U.S. 

customers during the POR and could 

not trace the POR entry of EMD, which 

was used to manufacture batteries in the 

United States, to particular battery sales 

to unaffiliated U.S. customers.3

Therefore, we are preliminarily 

rescinding this review, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results of 

this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties may 

submit case briefs no later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed no later than 

seven days after the deadline for filing 

case briefs.4 Parties who submit case or 

rebuttal briefs are requested to submit 

with each brief: (1) A statement of the 

issue, (2) a brief summary of the 

argument, and (3) a table of authorities.5

Executive summaries should be limited
