SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 3, 2022, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

cold-rolled steel from Korea.1 On 

January 20, 2023, Commerce selected 

Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai 

Steel) 2 and POSCO/POSCO 

International Corporation (collectively,

the Act regarding specificity. 

12As discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, Commerce has found the following 

companies to be cross-owned with POSCO: POSCO 

Chemical, POSCO M-Tech, Pohang Scrap Recycling 

Distribution Center Co., Ltd., POSCO Nippon Steel 

RHF Joint Venture Co., Ltd., POSCO Terminal, and 

POSCO Steel Processing and Service. We note that 

POSCO has an affiliated trading company through 

which it exported certain subject merchandise 

during the POR, POSCO International (aka POSCO 

International Corporation). POSCO International 

was not selected as a mandatory respondent but 

was examined in the context of POSCO. Therefore, 

there is not an established CVD rate for POSCO 

International; POSCO International’s subsidies are 

accounted for in POSCO’s total subsidy rate. 

Instead, entries of subject merchandise exported by 

POSCO International will receive the rate of the 

producer listed on the U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) entry form. Thus, the subsidy rate 

applied to POSCO and POSCO’s cross-owned 

affiliates is also applied to POSCO International for 

entries of subject merchandise produced by POSCO. 

13As discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, Commerce has found the following 

companies to be cross-owned with Hyundai Steel: 

Hyundai ITC and Hyundai Green Power. 

14See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303

this administrative review.4 On May 15, 

2023, Commerce extended the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of this review to September 29, 

2023.5

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I 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 https://access.trade.gov/public/

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is cold-rolled steel. For a complete 

description of the scope of the order, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Rescission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation. Commerce received timely 

withdrawal requests with respect to 44 

companies.7 Because there are no longer 

any pending review requests for those 

companies, we are rescinding this 

review with respect to them, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

For a complete list of the companies for 

which we are rescinding this review, see 

Appendix II. 

Preliminary Intent To Rescind 

Administrative Review, in Part 

It is Commerce’s practice to rescind 

an administrative review of a 

countervailing duty order, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.8 Normally, 

upon completion of an administrative 

review, the suspended entries are 

liquidated at the countervailing duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.9 Therefore, for an 

administrative review of a company to 

be conducted, there must be a 

reviewable, suspended entry that 

Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

at the calculated countervailing duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.10

According to the CBP data on the 

record, Hyundai Group and POSCO C&C 

Co., Ltd. did not have reviewable entries 

of subject merchandise during the POR 

for which liquidation is suspended. 

Accordingly, in the absence of 

reviewable, suspended entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR, we intend 

to rescind this review with respect to 

Hyundai Group and POSCO C&C Co., 

Ltd., in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.11 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated 

individual net countervailable subsidy 

rates for Hyundai Steel and POSCO/ 

POSCO International Corporation. We 

preliminarily find that, during the POR, 

the net countervailable subsidy rates for 

the producers/exporters under review to 

be as follows: 

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent 

ad valorem) 

POSCO/POSCO International Corporation12 ...... 0.88 

Hyundai Steel Company13 ... 0.78 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to parties to this 

proceeding the calculations performed 

in reaching the preliminary results 

within five days of the publication of 

these preliminary results, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of the 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register. Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in case briefs, may be 

submitted no later than seven days after 

the deadline date for case briefs after the 

deadline date for case briefs.14 Pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), 

parties who submit case or rebuttal 

briefs in this review are requested to 

submit with each argument: (1) a 

statement of the issue; (2) a brief

filed electronically using ACCESS. An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully in its entirety 

using ACCESS by 5 p.m. Eastern Time 

on the established deadline. Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for service 

documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.16

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance using ACCESS within 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.17 Requests should contain the 

party’s name, address, and telephone 

number, and a list of the issues to be 

discussed. Oral presentations at the 

hearing will be limited to issues raised 

in the briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, Commerce will inform parties 

of the time and date for the hearing.18

Final Results 

Unless the deadline is extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

the issues raised by the parties in their 

comments, no 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 

Consistent with section 751(a)(1) 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. 

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 the companies listed in Appendix 

II for which we are rescinding this 

administrative review, Commerce 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 appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Cash Deposit Rate 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce also intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts calculated in the final results 

for the companies listed above on 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review, except where the rate calculated 

in the final results is zero or de minimis, 

no cash deposit will be required. For all 

non-reviewed firms, we will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

of estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of review 

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 

351.221(b)(4).
