Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from the 
Republic of Korea; Notice of Amended Final Results of the Twelfth 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 20, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published its final results of the twelfth administrative review for 
certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products (CORE) from the 
Republic of Korea (Korea) for the period from August 1, 2004, through 
July 31, 2005. We are amending our final results to correct a 
ministerial error made in the calculation of the dumping margin for 
Union Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Union), pursuant to section 751 
(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

EFFECTIVE DATE:  April 26, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 20, 2007, the Department published its final results of 
the twelfth administrative review for CORE from Korea for the period 
from August 1, 2004, through July 31, 2005. See Notice of Final Results 
of the Twelfth Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on 
Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from the 
Republic of Korea, 72 FR 13086 (March 20, 2007) (Final Results), and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum from Stephen J. Claeys, 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. 
Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
    On March 20, 2007, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c), United States 
Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) submitted comments alleging a 
ministerial error, and requesting that the Department correct this 
alleged ministerial error. Specifically, U.S. Steel alleged that the 
Department failed to use Union's actual weight-based gross unit price 
in calculating the dumping margin.

Scope of the Order

    This order covers cold-rolled (cold-reduced) carbon steel flat-
rolled carbon steel products, of rectangular shape, either clad, 
plated, or coated with corrosion-resistant metals such as zinc, 
aluminum, or zinc-, aluminum-, nickel- or iron-based alloys, whether or 
not corrugated or painted, varnished or coated with plastics or other 
nonmetallic substances in addition to the metallic coating, in coils 
(whether or not in successively superimposed layers) and of a width of 
0.5 inch or greater, or in straight lengths which, if of a thickness 
less than 4.75 millimeters, are of a width of 0.5 inch or greater and 
which measures at least 10 times the thickness or if of a thickness of 
4.75 millimeters or more are of a width which exceeds 150 millimeters 
and measures at least twice the thickness, as currently classifiable in 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item 
numbers 7210.30.0030, 7210.30.0060, 7210.41.0000, 7210.49.0030, 
7210.49.0090, 7210.61.0000, 7210.69.0000, 7210.70.6030, 7210.70.6060, 
7210.70.6090, 7210.90.1000, 7210.90.6000, 7210.90.9000, 7212.20.0000, 
7212.30.1030, 7212.30.1090, 7212.30.3000, 7212.30.5000, 7212.40.1000, 
7212.40.5000, 7212.50.0000, 7212.60.0000, 7215.90.1000, 7215.90.3000, 
7215.90.5000, 7217.20.1500, 7217.30.1530, 7217.30.1560, 7217.90.1000, 
7217.90.5030, 7217.90.5060, 7217.90.5090. Included in this order are 
corrosion-resistant flat-rolled products of non-rectangular cross-
section where such cross-section is achieved subsequent to the rolling 
process (i.e., products which have been ``worked after rolling'') - for 
example, products which have been beveled or rounded at the edges. 
Excluded from this order are flat-rolled steel products either plated 
or coated with tin, lead, chromium, chromium oxides, both tin and lead 
(``terne plate''), or both chromium and chromium oxides (``tin-free 
steel''), whether or not painted, varnished or coated with plastics or 
other nonmetallic substances in addition to the metallic coating. Also 
excluded from this order are clad products in straight lengths of 
0.1875 inch or more in composite thickness and of a width which exceeds 
150 millimeters and measures at least twice the thickness. Also 
excluded from this order are certain clad stainless flat-rolled 
products, which are three-layered corrosion-resistant carbon steel 
flat-rolled products less than 4.75 millimeters in composite thickness 
that consist of a carbon steel flat-rolled product clad on both sides 
with stainless steel in a 20[percnt]-60[percnt]-20[percnt] ratio. These 
HTSUS item numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes. 
The written descriptions remain dispositive.

Amended Final Results of Review

    After analyzing U.S. Steel's comments, we have determined, in 
accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224, that the 
Department has made a ministerial error in the final results 
calculation for Union in this administrative review. For a detailed 
discussion of the ministerial error, see Memorandum from Jolanta Lawska 
to James Terpstra, re: Amended Final Results in the 04/05 
Administrative Review on Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products 
from Korea, at page 2, dated April 4, 2007 (Ministerial Error Memo).
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act, we are 
amending the final results of the antidumping duty administrative 
review of CORE from Korea for the period August 1, 2004, to July 31, 
2005. As a result of correcting the ministerial error discussed in the 
Ministerial Error Memo, Union's weighted-average dumping margin 
increased from 1.45 percent to 1.46 percent. For the remaining 
respondents, the weighted-average dumping margins remain the same. See 
Final Results.

Duty Assessment and Cash Deposit Requirements

    The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions 
directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the amended 
final results of this review, where injunctions are not in place.
    Further, the following cash-deposit requirements will be effective 
upon publication of these final amended results of the administrative 
review for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of 
these final amended results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act: (1) for subject merchandise exported by Union, the cash-deposit 
rate will be 1.46 percent (2) for Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd., Hyundai 
HYSCO, and Pohang Iron & Steel Company, Ltd., the cash deposit rate 
will remain as established in the Final Results. These deposit 
requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
    These amended final results of administrative review and notice are 
issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and (h), and 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224.

    Dated: April 19, 2007.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
