December 31, 2016. We preliminarily 

determine that Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd/ 

Dongbu Incheon Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Dongbu) and Hyundai Steel Company 

(Hyundai Steel) received 

countervailable subsidies during the 

POR. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 13, 2017, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on CORE from Korea.1 On June 20, 

2018, Commerce extended the deadline 

for the preliminary results to August 3, 

2018.2 For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included at 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 http://access.trade.gov and is 

available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. 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. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is certain corrosion-resistant steel 

products. For a complete description of 

the scope of the order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Rescission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

Commerce initiated a review of 22 

companies in this segment of the 

proceeding.4 Two of these companies, 

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. and Union 

Steel Manufacturing Co. Ltd. are not 

subject to the CVD order on CORE from 

Korea.5 Accordingly, we are rescinding 

the review with respect to these two 

companies. 

Intent To Rescind Administrative 

Review, in Part 

Based on information submitted by 

Mitsubishi International Corporation 

after the initiation of this administrative 

review, and because there is no 

evidence on the record to indicate that

this company had entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR, we 

preliminarily intend to rescind the 

review with respect to Mitsubishi 

International Corporation.6 A final 

decision regarding whether to rescind 

the review of this company will be 

issued with the final results of review. 

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 government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.7 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

accompanying Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

For the companies not selected for 

individual review, because the rates 

calculated for Dongbu and Hyundai 

Steel were above de minimis and not 

based entirely on facts available, we 

applied a subsidy rate based on a 

weighted-average of the subsidy rates 

calculated for Dongbu and Hyundai 

Steel using publicly ranged sales data 

submitted by respondents. This is 

consistent with the methodology that 

we would use in an investigation to 

establish the all-others rate, consistent 

with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 

determine that the following subsidy 

rates exist for the 2015 and 2016 

periods. The 2015 rate applies to the 

November 6, 2015, through December 

31, 2015, period when liquidation of 

entries was suspended. The 2016 rate 

applies to entries suspended during 

2016 and to establish the cash deposit 

rate for exports of subject merchandise 

subsequent to the final results.

Assessment Rate 

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

the Act, upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. We intend to issue instructions 

to CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. For 

companies for which this review is 

rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP 

to liquidate entries without regard to 

countervailing duties. Commerce 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Cash Deposit Rate 

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

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties in the amount 

indicated above with regard to 

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. 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 or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose to parties to this 

proceeding the calculations performed 

in reaching the preliminary results 

within five days of the date of 

publication of these preliminary 

results.8 Interested parties may submit

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on diamond 

sawblades and parts thereof (diamond 

sawblades) from the People’s Republic 

of China (China). The period of review 

(POR) is November 1, 2016, through 

October 31, 2017. Commerce has 

preliminarily determined that certain 

companies covered by this review made 

sales of subject merchandise at less than 

normal value. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is diamond sawblades and parts thereof. 

The diamond sawblades subject to the 

order are currently classifiable under 

subheadings 8202 to 8206 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS), and may also 

enter under 6804.21.00. While the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description is dispositive. A full 

description of the scope of the order is 

contained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.1

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Six companies that received a 

separate rate in previous segments of the 

proceeding and are subject to this 

review reported that they did not have 

any exports of subject merchandise 

during the POR.2 We requested that U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

report any contrary information.3 To 

date, we have not received any contrary 

information from either CBP in response 

to our inquiry or any other sources that 

these companies had any shipments of 

the subject merchandise sold to the 

United States during the POR.4 Further, 

consistent with our practice, we find 

that it is not appropriate to rescind the 

review with respect to these companies 

but, rather, to complete the review and 

issue appropriate instructions to CBP 

based on the final results of review.5

Separate Rates 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that 14 respondents are eligible to 

receive separate rates in this review.6

Separate Rates for Eligible NonSelected Respondents 

Because we denied the separate rate 

eligibility for the two respondents 

selected for individual examination, 

Danyang Huachang Diamond Tools 

Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Danyang 

Huachang) and Jiangsu Youhe Tool 

Manufacturer Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Youhe), 

and treated them as part of the Chinawide entity, we preliminarily applied to 

non-selected respondents the separate 

rate assigned to eligible respondents in 

the last completed administrative 

review, which is 82.05 percent.7

China-Wide Entity
