Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The products within the scope of this 

investigation are paper shopping bags with 

handles of any type, regardless of whether 

there is any printing, regardless of how the 

top edges are finished (e.g., folded, serrated, 

or otherwise finished), regardless of color, 

and regardless of whether the top edges 

contain adhesive or other material for sealing 

closed. Subject paper shopping bags have a 

width of at least 4.5 inches and depth of at 

least 2.5 inches. 

Paper shopping bags typically are made of 

kraft paper but can be made from any type 

of cellulose fiber, paperboard, or pressboard 

with a basis weight less than 300 grams per 

square meter (GSM). 

A non-exhaustive illustrative list of the 

types of handles on shopping bags covered 

by the scope include handles made from any 

materials such as twisted paper, flat paper, 

yarn, ribbon, rope, string, or plastic, as well 

as die-cut handles (whether the punchout is 

fully removed or partially attached as a flap). 

Excluded from the scope are: 

• Paper sacks or bags that are of a 1⁄6 or 1⁄7

barrel size (i.e., 11.5–12.5 inches in width, 

6.5–7.5 inches in depth, and 13.5–17.5 

inches in height) with flat paper handles or 

die-cut handles; 

• Paper sacks or bags with die-cut handles, 

a grams per square meter paper weight of less 

than 86 GSM, and a height of less than 11.5 

inches; and 

• Paper sacks or bags (i) with non-paper 

handles made wholly of woven ribbon or 

other similar woven fabric 15 and (ii) that are 

finished with folded tops or for which tied 

knots or t-bar aglets (made of wood, metal, 

or plastic) are used to secure the handles to 

the bags. 

The above-referenced dimensions are 

provided for paper bags in the opened 

position. The height of the bag is the distance 

from the bottom fold edge to the top edge 

(i.e., excluding the height of handles that 

extend above the top edge). The depth of the 

bag is the distance from the front of the bag 

edge to the back of the bag edge (typically 

measured at the bottom of the bag). The 

width of the bag is measured from the left to 

the right edges of the front and back panels 

(upon which the handles typically are 

located). 

This merchandise is currently classifiable 

under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

4819.30.0040 and 4819.40.0040. The HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes only; the written 

description of the scope is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 7, 2023, Commerce published 

the preliminary results of this 

administrative review and invited 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Results.1 This administrative review 

covers four producers/exporters of PC 

strand from Malaysia.2 Commerce 

selected two respondents for individual 

examination, Kiswire Sdn. Bhd. (KSB) 

and Wei Dat Steel Wire Sdn. Bhd. (Wei 

Dat).3 Commerce extended the time 

period for issuing the final results until 

December 29, 2023.4 For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.5

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 6

The product covered by this Order is 

PC strand from Malaysia. For a full 

description of the scope of the Order,

parties, we made certain adjustments to 

the margin calculations for these final 

results. However, those adjustments did 

not result in any changes to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins for KSB or Wei Dat. For a more 

detailed discussion of these changes, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

rate to be applied to companies not 

selected for examination when 

Commerce limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in a 

market economy investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate for 

companies which were not selected for 

individual examination in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

Where the dumping margin for 

individually examined respondents are 

all zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of 

the Act provides that Commerce may 

use ‘‘any reasonable method to establish 

the estimated all-others rate for 

exporters and producers not 

individually investigated, including 

averaging the estimated weighted 

average dumping margins determined 

for the exporters and producers 

individually investigated.’’ 

In this review, we calculated 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

KSB and Wei Dat that are zero. 

Therefore, consistent with section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, we are applying 

to Southern Steel Sdn. Bhd. and 

Southern PC Steel Sdn. Bhd., the two 

companies not selected for individual 

examination in this review, a margin of 

zero percent. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

November 19, 2020, through May 31, 

2022: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Kiswire Sdn. Bhd ........................ 0.00 

Wei Dat Steel Wire Sdn. Bhd ..... 0.00 

Review-Specific Rate Applicable to the 

Following Non-Examined Companies 

Southern Steel Sdn. Bhd ............ 0.00 

Southern PC Steel Sdn. Bhd ..... 0.00 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these final results to interested 

parties within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of the notice of final 

results in the Federal Register.7

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Where the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

either zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 

0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Accordingly, because KSB’s and Wei 

Dat’s weighted-average dumping 

margins are zero percent, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties. For entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by KSB or Wei Dat for which these 

companies did not know the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate (i.e., 5.13 percent) 8 if there 

is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.9 For the companies which 

were not selected for individual review, 

Southern Steel Sdn. Bhd. and Southern 

PC Steel Sdn. Bhd., we will assign an 

assessment rate based on the 

methodology described in the ‘‘Rates for 

Non-Examined Companies’’ section, 

above. 

We intend to instruct CBP to take into 

account the ‘‘provisional measures 

deposit cap,’’ in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(d). 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective 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 the companies 

listed in these final results will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margins established in the final results 

of this administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; and (3) the cash deposit rate 

for all other manufacturers or exporters 

will continue to be 5.13 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation.10 These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final 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. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset 

review, the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order on large power transformers 

(LPTs) from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea) would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Sunset Reviews’’ section of 

this notice. 

DATES: Applicable January 3, 2024.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 1, 2023, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

second sunset review of the AD Order 1

on LPTs from Korea, pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act).2 On September 14, 

2023, Commerce received a notice of 

intent to participate from Hitachi Energy 

USA, Inc., Prolec-GE Waukesha, Inc., 

Delta Star Inc., and Pennsylvania 

Transformer Technology, Inc. 

(collectively, the domestic interested 

parties), within the deadline specified 

in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The 

domestic interested parties claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act, as manufacturers of 

a domestic like product in the United 

States. 

On September 29, 2023, we received 

a complete substantive response for this 

review from the domestic interested 

parties within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).4

We received no substantive responses 

from respondent interested parties. As a 

result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the Order on LPTs from 

Korea. 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this Order covers large 

liquid dielectric power transformers 

(LPTs) 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. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.5

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this review, 

including the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of dumping in the event 

of revocation and the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail if the Order 

were revoked, are addressed in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. The Issues and 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 https://access.trade.gov. A complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at https://

access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce 

determines that revocation of the AD 

Order on LPTs from Korea would be 

likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and that the 

magnitude of the dumping margins 

likely to prevail would be weightedaverage dumping margins up to 29.04 

percent. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 

Timely notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.218.
