SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce initiated this review on 

October 16, 2017.1 We selected two 

mandatory respondents in this review, 

Hyosung and HHI.2 Commerce 

exercised its discretion to toll all 

deadlines affected by the closure of the 

Federal Government from January 20 

through 22, 2018. The revised deadline 

for the preliminary results of this review 

is August 31, 2018.3 For a more detailed 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

dated concurrently with these results 

and hereby adopted by this notice.4

Room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

A list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an Appendix to this notice. 

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order covers large 

liquid dielectric power transformers 

having a top power handling capacity 

greater than or equal to 60,000 kilovolt 

amperes (60 megavolt amperes), 

whether assembled or unassembled, 

complete or incomplete. The 

merchandise subject to the order is 

currently classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States at 

subheadings 8504.23.0040, 

8504.23.0080 and 8504.90.9540. This 

tariff classification is provided for 

convenience and Customs purposes; 

however, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive.5

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Facts Available 

Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, 

Commerce is preliminarily relying upon 

facts otherwise available to assign an 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin to Hyundai in this review 

because Hyundai withheld necessary 

information that was requested by 

Commerce, thereby significantly 

impeding the conduct of the review. 

Further, Commerce preliminarily 

determines that Hyundai failed to 

cooperate by not acting to the best of its 

ability to comply with requests for 

information and, thus, Commerce is 

applying adverse facts available (AFA) 

to Hyundai, in accordance with section 

776(b) of the Act. For a full description 

of the methodology underlying our 

conclusions regarding the application of 

AFA, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

In accordance with the U.S. Court of 

Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s 

decision in Albemarle Corp. v. United 

States,6 we are applying to the nonselected companies the rate 

preliminarily applied to Hyosung in this 

administrative review.7 This is the only 

rate determined in this review for 

individual respondents and, thus, 

should be applied to the three nonselected companies under section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. For a detailed 

discussion, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that, for 

the period August 1, 2016, through July 

31, 2017, the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 8

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce will disclose to parties to 

the proceeding any calculations 

performed in connection with these 

preliminary results of review within five 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.9 Commerce will announce the 

briefing schedule to interested parties at 

a later date. Interested parties may

Commerce will announce.10 Rebuttal 

briefs, the content of which is limited to 

the issues raised in the case briefs, must 

be filed within five days from the 

deadline date for the submission of case 

briefs.11

Parties who submit case or rebuttal 

briefs in this proceeding are requested 

to submit with each argument: (1) A 

statement of the issue; (2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities.12 Case and rebuttal 

briefs should be filed using ACCESS.13

Case and rebuttal briefs must be served 

on interested parties.14 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 within 30 days of the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Requests should contain: (1) The party’s 

name, address and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants; and (3) 

a list of issues parties intend to discuss. 

Issues raised in the hearing will be 

limited to those raised in the respective 

case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for 

a hearing is made, Commerce intends to 

hold the hearing at the U.S. Department 

of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a date 

and time to be determined.15 Parties 

should confirm the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Commerce intends to publish the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any case or rebuttal 

brief, no later than 120 days after 

publication of these preliminary results, 

unless extended.16

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

de minimis in the final results of this 

review and the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, we will 

calculate importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates for the merchandise 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined

sales made during the period of review 

to each importer to the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

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

respondent has not reported reliable 

entered values, we will calculate a perunit assessment rate for each importer 

by dividing the total amount of 

dumping for the examined sales made 

during the period of review to that 

importer by the total sales quantity 

associated with those transactions. 

Where an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis in the final 

results of review, we will instruct CBP 

not to assess duties on any of its entries 

in accordance with the Final 

Modification for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here 

the weighted-average margin of 

dumping for the exporter is determined 

to be zero or de minimis, no 

antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 17

If the preliminary results are 

unchanged for the final results, we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of 60.81 percent to all 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the period of review which were 

produced and/or exported by Hyundai. 

Regarding entries of subject 

merchandise during the period of 

review that were produced by Hyosung 

and Hyundai and for which they did not 

know that the merchandise was 

destined for the United States, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed 

entries at the all-others rate of 22.00 

percent, as established in the less-thanfair-value investigation of the order, if 

there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.18 For a full discussion of 

this matter, see Assessment Policy 

Notice.19

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

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 entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

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

cash deposit rate for Hyosung and 

Hyundai and other companies listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this administrative 

review; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding in which they were 

reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or in the investigation but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be the all-others rate of 22.00 percent, 

the rate established in the investigation 

of this proceeding.20 These cash 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 duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

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