entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties, where applicable. 

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 of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from China 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for 

the companies listed above that have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be that rate established in the final 

results of this review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, then a cash 

deposit rate of zero will be established 

for that company); (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed exporters not 

listed in the final results of review that 

have separate rates, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter’s 

weighted-average dumping margin 

published of the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding; 

(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate for Chinawide entity (i.e., 76.46 percent); 28 and 

(4) for all exporters of subject 

merchandise which are not located in 

China and are not eligible for a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate applicable to Chinese exporter(s) 

that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping and/or countervailing 

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 and/or 

countervailing 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 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

scope of this Order, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Rescission of Administrative Review, In 

Part 

Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data and 

comments received from interested 

parties, we determine that two 

companies, BDP International and Sung 

Jin Steel Co., Ltd had no reviewable 

shipments, sales, or entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR. Absent 

evidence of shipments on the record, we 

are rescinding the administrative review 

of these companies, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). For further information, 

see ‘‘Rescission of Administrative 

Review, in Part’’ in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in interested parties’ 

briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is included 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. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For each of the subsidy programs 

found countervailable, we find that 

there is a subsidy, i.e., a governmentprovided financial contribution that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.5 For a 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

we made one modification to our 

calculations for these final results of 

review. 

Company Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

To determine the rate for companies 

not selected for individual examination, 

Commerce’s practice, in accordance 

with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, is 

to weight average the net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

selected mandatory companies, 

excluding rates that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available.6 In this review, because we 

determined that the sole mandatory 

respondent, Hyundai Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Hyundai Steel), received 

countervailable subsidies that are above 

de minimis and are not entirely based 

on facts available, we have applied 

Hyundai Steel’s net subsidy rate to the 

non-selected company, Dongkuk Steel 

Mill Co. Ltd. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

We determine that, for the period 

January 1, 2021, through December 31, 

2021, the following net countervailable 

subsidy rates exist: 

Producer/exporter 

Subsidy 

rate (percent 

ad valorem) 

Hyundai Steel Co., Ltd ......... 1.08 

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd .. 1.08 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results of review within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rate 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon 

issuance of the final results, Commerce 

shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. For the 

companies for which this review is 

rescinded, we will instruct CBP to 

assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries at a rate equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated countervailing 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period January 

1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). 

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 Rates 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce 

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts shown for the 

companies subject to this review. For all 

non-reviewed companies, we will 

instruct CBP to continue to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties at the most recent companyspecific or all-others rate applicable to 

the company, as appropriate. These cash 

deposits, when imposed, shall remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/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 violation 

subject to sanction. 

Notice to Interested Parties 

These final results are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(4) and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).

Certain Softwood Lumber Products 

From Canada: Amended Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review in Part; 2021 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is amending the 

final results of the administrative review 

of the antidumping duty (AD) order on 

certain softwood lumber products 

(softwood lumber) from Canada to 

correct certain ministerial errors. The 

period of review (POR) is January 1, 

2021, through December 31, 2021. 

DATES: Applicable September 7, 2023.

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5831. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Final Results of the administrative 

review of the AD order on softwood 

lumber from Canada for the POR.1 On 

August 2, 2023, we received a timely 

submitted ministerial error allegation 

from the Committee Overseeing Action 

for Lumber International Trade 

Investigations or Negotiations (the 

petitioner).2 We are amending the Final 

Results to correct the ministerial error 

raised by the petitioner. 

Legal Framework 

Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), defines a 

‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors 

in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical errors 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

unintentional error which the 

administering authority considers 

ministerial.’’ 3 With respect to final 

results of administrative reviews, 19 

CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and, if appropriate, correct any . . . 

ministerial error by amending the final 

results of review. . . .’’ 

Ministerial Errors 

In the Final Results, we made certain 

revisions to our preliminary results 

calculations for mandatory respondent 

West Fraser Mills Ltd. (West Fraser), 

including adjustments to West Fraser’s 

general and administrative (G&A) 

expense ratio.4 In its ministerial error 

comments, the petitioner alleged that, in 

revising West Fraser’s G&A expense 

ratio, Commerce failed to adjust West 

Fraser’s G&A expense ratio in the 

manner in which it had claimed it did 

the Final Results, (i.e., failed to calculate 

producer specific G&A expense ratios 

within the collapsed entity and then 

apply the ratios to each company’s 

respective cost of manufacturing for the 

individual producers within the 

collapsed entity).5 The petitioner also 

alleged that the dumping margin 

assigned to the non-selected companies 

needed to be revised because of the 

aforementioned ministerial error.6

We agree with the petitioner that we 

made a ministerial error in the Final 

Results, pursuant to section 751(h) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), and have 

amended our calculations to correct 

West Fraser’s G&A expense ratio and 

revised our calculation of the dumping 

margin for the non-selected companies.7

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are 

amending the Final Results to correct 

this ministerial error in the calculation 

of the weighted-average dumping 

margin for West Fraser, which changes 

from 6.96 percent to 7.06 percent.8

Furthermore, we are also amending the 

rate for the companies not selected for 

individual examination in this review 

based on the weighted-average dumping 

margins calculated for the mandatory 

respondents,9 which changes from 6.20 

percent to 6.26 percent.10 For a 

complete discussion of the ministerial 

error allegation, as well as Commerce’s 

analysis, see the accompanying 

Ministerial Error Memorandum.11 The 

Ministerial Error Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is 

available to registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. 

Amended Final Results of Review 

As a result of correcting the 

ministerial errors described above, we 

determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins for the period 

January 1, 2021, through December 31, 

2021: 

Exporter or producer 

Weighted-average dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

West Fraser Mills, Ltd .......... 7.06 

Companies Not Selected for 

Individual Review 12 .......... 6.26 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed in connection with these 

amended final results of review to 

parties in this review within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

amended final results of this review. 

We intend to calculate importer- (or 

customer-) specific assessment rates on 

the basis of the ratio of the total amount
