We request that interested parties 

include footnotes for relevant citations 

in the executive summary of each issue. 

Note that Commerce has amended 

certain of its requirements pertaining to 

the service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).14

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, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. Requests should 

contain the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number, the number of 

participants, whether any participant is 

a foreign national, and a list of the 

issues to be discussed. If a request for 

a hearing is made, Commerce intends to 

hold the hearing at a time and date to 

be determined. Parties should confirm 

by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register if, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by exporters who account for a 

significant proportion of exports of the 

subject merchandise, or in the event of 

a negative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) 

of Commerce’s regulations requires that 

a request by an exporter for 

postponement of the final determination 

be accompanied by a request for 

extension of provisional measures from 

a four-month period to a period not 

more than six months in duration.15

On November 8 and 14, 2023, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), 

Booyoung Industry and Daechang, 

respectively, requested that Commerce 

postpone the final determination and 

that provisional measures be extended 

to a period not to exceed six months.16

In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), 

because: (1) the preliminary 

determination is affirmative; (2) the 

requesting exporters accounts for a 

significant proportion of exports of the 

subject merchandise; and (3) no 

compelling reasons for denial exist, 

Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination in the Federal Register. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination. If the 

final determination is affirmative, the 

ITC will determine before the later of 

120 days after the date of this 

preliminary determination or 45 days 

after the final determination whether 

these imports of brass rod from Korea 

are materially injuring, or threaten 

material injury to, the U.S. industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This preliminary determination is 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: November 24, 2023. 

Abdelali Elouaradia, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this investigation 

are brass rod and bar (brass rod), which is 

defined as leaded, low-lead, and no-lead 

solid brass made from alloys such as, but not 

limited to the following alloys classified 

under the Unified Numbering System (UNS) 

as C27450, C27451, C27460, C34500, C35000, 

C35300, C35330, C36000, C36300, C37000, 

C37700, C48500, C67300, C67600, and 

C69300, and their international equivalents. 

The brass rod subject to this investigation 

has an actual cross-section or outside 

diameter greater than 0.25 inches but less 

than or equal to 12 inches. Brass rod crosssections may be round, hexagonal, square, or 

octagonal shapes as well as special profiles 

(e.g., angles, shapes), including hollow 

profiles. 

Standard leaded brass rod covered by the 

scope contains, by weight, 57.0–65.0 percent 

copper; 0.5–3.0 percent lead; no more than 

1.3 percent iron; and at least 15 percent zinc. 

No-lead or low-lead brass rod covered by the 

scope contains by weight 59.0–76.0 percent 

copper; 0–1.5 percent lead; no more than 

0.35 percent iron; and at least 15 percent 

zinc. Brass rod may also include other 

chemical elements (e.g., nickel, phosphorous, 

silicon, tin, etc.). 

Brass rod may be in straight lengths or 

coils. Brass rod covered by these 

investigations may be finished or unfinished, 

and may or may not be heated, extruded, 

pickled, or cold-drawn. Brass rod may be 

produced in accordance with ASTM B16, 

ASTM B124, ASTM B981, ASTM B371, 

ASTM B453, ASTM B21, ASTM B138, and 

ASTM B927, but such conformity to an 

ASTM standard is not required for the 

merchandise to be included within the scope. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation is brass ingot, which is a casting 

of unwrought metal unsuitable for 

conversion into brass rod without remelting, 

that contains, by weight, at least 57.0 percent 

copper and 15.0 percent zinc. 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is currently classifiable under 

subheadings 7407.21.9000, 7407.21.7000, 

and 7407.21.1500 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Products subject to the scope may also enter 

under HTSUS subheadings 7403.21.0000, 

7407.21.3000, and 7407.21.5000. The HTSUS 

subheadings and UNS alloy designations are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes. The written description of the 

scope of the investigations is dispositive.

2Or the next business day, if the deadline falls 

on a weekend, federal holiday or any other day 

when Commerce is closed. 

Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), may 

request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) conduct an 

administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by Commerce 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review. We intend to release 

the CBP data under Administrative 

Protective Order (APO) to all parties 

having an APO within five days of 

publication of the initiation notice and 

to make our decision regarding 

respondent selection within 35 days of 

publication of the initiation Federal 

Register notice. Therefore, we 

encourage all parties interested in 

commenting on respondent selection to 

submit their APO applications on the 

date of publication of the initiation 

notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

Commerce invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within five days of placement of the 

CBP data on the record of the review. 

In the event Commerce decides it is 

necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, Commerce finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will 

not conduct collapsing analyses at the 

respondent selection phase of a review 

and will not collapse companies at the 

respondent selection phase unless there 

has been a determination to collapse 

certain companies in a previous 

segment of this antidumping proceeding 

(i.e., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to a review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. Parties are requested to: (a) 

identify which companies subject to 

review previously were collapsed; and 

(b) provide a citation to the proceeding 

in which they were collapsed. Further, 

if companies are requested to complete 

a Quantity and Value Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of a proceeding 

where Commerce considered collapsing 

that entity, complete quantity and value 

data for that collapsed entity must be 

submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

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

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may 

extend this time if it is reasonable to do 

so. Determinations by Commerce to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

Deadline for Particular Market 

Situation Allegation 

Section 504 of the Trade Preferences 

Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act 

by adding the concept of particular 

market situation (PMS) for purposes of 

constructed value under section 773(e) 

of the Act.1 Section 773(e) of the Act 

states that ‘‘if a particular market 

situation exists such that the cost of 

materials and fabrication or other 

processing of any kind does not 

accurately reflect the cost of production 

in the ordinary course of trade, the 

administering authority may use 

another calculation methodology under 

this subtitle or any other calculation 

methodology.’’ When an interested 

party submits a PMS allegation pursuant 

to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce 

will respond to such a submission 

consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v). 

If Commerce finds that a PMS exists 

under section 773(e) of the Act, then it 

will modify its dumping calculations 

appropriately. 

Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 

19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a deadline 

for the submission of PMS allegations 

and supporting factual information. 

However, in order to administer section 

773(e) of the Act, Commerce must 

receive PMS allegations and supporting 

factual information with enough time to 

consider the submission. Thus, should 

an interested party wish to submit a 

PMS allegation and supporting new 

factual information pursuant to section 

773(e) of the Act, it must do so no later 

than 20 days after submission of initial 

Section D responses. 

Opportunity To Request A Review: 

Not later than the last day of December 

2023,2 interested parties may request 

administrative review of the following 

orders, findings, or suspended 

investigations, with anniversary dates in 

December for the following periods:

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the interested party must 

specify the individual producers or 

exporters covered by an antidumping 

finding or an antidumping or 

countervailing duty order or suspension 

agreement for which it is requesting a 

review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. If the interested party intends 

for the Secretary to review sales of 

merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which was produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover. 

Note that, for any party Commerce 

was unable to locate in prior segments, 

Commerce will not accept a request for 

an administrative review of that party 

absent new information as to the party’s 

location. Moreover, if the interested 

party who files a request for review is 

unable to locate the producer or 

exporter for which it requested the 

review, the interested party must 

provide an explanation of the attempts 

it made to locate the producer or 

exporter at the same time it files its 

request for review, in order for the 

Secretary to determine if the interested 

party’s attempts were reasonable, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011), Commerce clarified 

its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.3

Commerce no longer considers the 

non-market economy (NME) entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to an 

antidumping duty administrative 

reviews.4 Accordingly, the NME entity 

will not be under review unless 

Commerce specifically receives a 

request for, or self-initiates, a review of 

the NME entity.5 In administrative 

reviews of antidumping duty orders on 

merchandise from NME countries where 

a review of the NME entity has not been 

initiated, but where an individual 

exporter for which a review was 

initiated does not qualify for a separate 

rate, Commerce will issue a final 

decision indicating that the company in 

question is part of the NME entity. 

However, in that situation, because no 

review of the NME entity was 

conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review 

(although the rate for the individual 

exporter may change as a function of the 

finding that the exporter is part of the 

NME entity). Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters 

not named in the initiation notice, 

including those that were suspended at 

the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on 

Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS 

website at https://access.trade.gov.6

Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request 

must be served on the petitioner and 

each exporter or producer specified in 

the request. Note that Commerce has 

amended certain of its requirements 

pertaining to the service of documents 

in 19 CFR 351.303(f).7

Commerce will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation of 

Administrative Review of Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation’’ for 

requests received by the last day of 

December 2023. If Commerce does not 

receive, by the last day of December 

2023, a request for review of entries 

covered by an order, finding, or 

suspended investigation listed in this 

notice and for the period identified 

above, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping or countervailing 

duties on those entries at a rate equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping or countervailing duties 

required on those entries at the time of 

entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption and to continue to 

collect the cash deposit previously 

ordered. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the period of review.

Establishment of and Updates to the 

Annual Inquiry Service List 

On September 20, 2021, Commerce 

published the final rule titled 

‘‘Regulations to Improve Administration 

and Enforcement of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Laws’’ in the 

Federal Register.8 On September 27, 

2021, Commerce also published the 

notice entitled ‘‘Scope Ruling 

Application; Annual Inquiry Service 

List; and Informational Sessions’’ in the 

Federal Register.9 The Final Rule and 

Procedural Guidance provide that 

Commerce will maintain an annual 

inquiry service list for each order or 

suspended investigation, and any 

interested party submitting a scope 

ruling application or request for 

circumvention inquiry shall serve a 

copy of the application or request on the 

persons on the annual inquiry service 

list for that order, as well as any 

companion order covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin.10

In accordance with the Procedural 

Guidance, for orders published in the 

Federal Register before November 4, 

2021, Commerce created an annual 

inquiry service list segment for each 

order and suspended investigation. 

Interested parties who wished to be 

added to the annual inquiry service list 

for an order submitted an entry of 

appearance to the annual inquiry 

service list segment for the order in 

ACCESS, and on November 4, 2021, 

Commerce finalized the initial annual 

inquiry service lists for each order and 

suspended investigation. Each annual 

inquiry service list has been saved as a 

public service list in ACCESS, under 

each case number, and under a specific 

segment type called ‘‘AISL-Annual 

Inquiry Service List.’’ 11

As mentioned in the Procedural 

Guidance, beginning in January 2022, 

Commerce will update these annual 

inquiry service lists on an annual basis 

when the Opportunity Notice for the 

anniversary month of the order or 

suspended investigation is published in 

the Federal Register.12 Accordingly, 

Commerce will update the annual 

inquiry service lists for the above-listed 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

proceedings. All interested parties 

wishing to appear on the updated 

annual inquiry service list must take 

one of the two following actions: (1) 

new interested parties who did not 

previously submit an entry of 

appearance must submit a new entry of 

appearance at this time; (2) interested 

parties who were included in the 

preceding annual inquiry service list 

must submit an amended entry of 

appearance to be included in the next 

year’s annual inquiry service list. For 

these interested parties, Commerce will 

change the entry of appearance status 

from ‘‘Active’’ to ‘‘Needs Amendment’’ 

for the annual inquiry service lists 

corresponding to the above-listed 

proceedings. This will allow those 

interested parties to make any necessary 

amendments and resubmit their entries 

of appearance. If no amendments need 

to be made, the interested party should 

indicate in the area on the ACCESS form 

requesting an explanation for the 

amendment that it is resubmitting its 

entry of appearance for inclusion in the 

annual inquiry service list for the 

following year. As mentioned in the 

Final Rule,13 once the petitioners and 

foreign governments have submitted an 

entry of appearance for the first time, 

they will automatically be added to the 

updated annual inquiry service list each 

year. 

Interested parties have 30 days after 

the date of this notice to submit new or 

amended entries of appearance. 

Commerce will then finalize the annual 

inquiry service lists five business days 

thereafter. For ease of administration, 

please note that Commerce requests that 

law firms with more than one attorney 

representing interested parties in a 

proceeding designate a lead attorney to 

be included on the annual inquiry 

service list. 

Commerce may update an annual 

inquiry service list at any time as 

needed based on interested parties’ 

amendments to their entries of 

appearance to remove or otherwise 

modify their list of members and 

representatives, or to update contact 

information. Any changes or 

announcements pertaining to these 

procedures will be posted to the 

ACCESS website at https://

access.trade.gov. 

Special Instructions for Petitioners and 

Foreign Governments 

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated 

that, ‘‘after an initial request and 

placement on the annual inquiry service 

list, both petitioners and foreign 

governments will automatically be 

placed on the annual inquiry service list 

in the years that follow.’’ 14

Accordingly, as stated above and 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the 

petitioners and foreign governments 

will not need to resubmit their entries 

of appearance each year to continue to 

be included on the annual inquiry 

service list. However, the petitioners 

and foreign governments are responsible 

for making amendments to their entries 

of appearance during the annual update 

to the annual inquiry service list in 

accordance with the procedures 

described above. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.
