SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

tin mill products from the Republic of 

Korea (Korea) are being, or are likely to 

be, sold in the United States at less than 

fair value (LTFV) for the period of 

investigation (POI) January 1, 2022, 

through December 31, 2022. 

DATES: Applicable January 10, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 22, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

preliminary negative determination in 

the LTFV investigation of tin mill 

products from Korea, in which we also 

postponed the final determination until 

January 4, 2023.1 We invited interested 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Determination.2 No interested party 

submitted comments. Consequently, no 

decision memorandum accompanies 

this notice. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are tin mill products from 

Korea. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see the 

appendix to this notice. 

Scope Comments 

During the course of this 

investigation, Commerce received scope 

comments from parties. Commerce 

issued a Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum to address these 

comments and set aside a period of time 

for parties to address scope issues in 

scope-specific case and rebuttal briefs.3

We received comments from parties on 

the Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum, which we address in the 

Final Scope Decision Memorandum.4

We did not make any changes to the 

scope of this investigation from the 

scope published in the Preliminary 

Determination, as noted in the appendix 

to this notice. 

Verification 

Commerce verified the sales and cost 

information submitted by KG Dongbu 

Steel Co., Ltd. (KG Dongbu) and TCC 

Steel Corp. (TCC) for use in our final 

determination, consistent with section 

782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). We used standard 

verification procedures, including an 

examination of relevant sales and 

accounting records, and original source 

documents provided by KG Dongbu and 

TCC.5

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

We made certain changes to the 

preliminary weighted-average margin

calculations for KG Dongbu and TCC to 

incorporate the minor corrections 

submitted by each company at 

verification.6 For KG Dongbu, this 

resulted in no change to the company’s 

preliminary weighted-average dumping 

margin (i.e., 0.00 percent).7 For TCC, 

this resulted in a change to the 

company’s weighted-average dumping 

margin; for this final determination, we 

calculate a weighted-average dumping 

margin of 2.69 percent. 8

We revised the sales data reported by 

TCC to incorporate the corrections 

provided by the company at 

verification.9 Based on the revised data, 

the application of the Cohen’s d 

confirms the existence of a pattern of 

prices that differ significantly among 

purchasers, regions, or time periods.10

This difference is meaningful because 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

crosses the de minimis threshold when 

calculated using the average-to-average 

method and when calculated using 

alternative comparison methods.11

Further, in accordance with Commerce’s 

practice, if the value of sales to 

purchasers, regions, and time periods 

that pass the Cohen’s d test accounts for 

more than 33 percent and less than 66 

percent of the value of total sales, then 

the results support applying an averageto-transaction method to those sales 

identified as passing the Cohen’s d test 

as an alternative to the average-toaverage method and application of the 

average-to-average method to those sales 

identified as not passing the Cohen’s d 

test.12 On this basis, for purposes of this 

final determination, we are applying the 

average-to-transaction method to those 

U.S. sales which passed the Cohen’s d 

test and the average-to-average method 

to those sales which did not pass the 

Cohen’s d test to calculate the weightedaverage dumping margin for TCC (i.e., 

mixed-alternative method). This change 

from the Preliminary Determination 13

results in an estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin for TCC of 2.69 percent 

for this final determination.14

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for individually investigated 

exporters and producers, excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act, i.e., facts otherwise available. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

calculated an individual estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

TCC that is not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts otherwise 

available. Consequently, Commerce 

assigned the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin calculated for TCC to 

all other producers and exporters of the 

merchandise under consideration, 

pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 

Act. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd ......... 0.00 

TCC Steel Corp .......................... 2.69 

All Others .................................... 2.69 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with this final determination within five 

days of any public announcement or, if 

there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of all entries of tin 

mill products from Korea as described 

in the appendix, entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, except 

for those entries of subject merchandise 

produced and exported by KG Dongbu. 

Because the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for KG Dongbu 

as the producer and exporter is zero, 

entries of shipments of subject 

merchandise that are produced and 

exported by KG Dongbu will not be 

subject to suspension of liquidation or 

cash deposit requirements. Accordingly, 

Commerce will direct CBP not to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise produced and exported by 

KG Dongbu. In accordance with section 

735(a)(4) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.204(e)(1), should the investigation 

result in an antidumping duty order 

pursuant to section 736 of the Act, 

entries of shipments of subject 

merchandise from this producer/ 

exporter combination will be excluded 

from the order. However, entries of 

shipments of subject merchandise from 

this company in any other producer/ 

exporter combination, or by third 

parties that sourced subject 

merchandise from the excluded 

producer/exporter combination, will be 

subject to suspension of liquidation at 

the all-others rate. 

Further, pursuant to section 

733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin or the estimated all-others rate, 

as follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for 

the respondents listed in the table above 

is the company-specific cash deposit 

rate listed for the respondent in the 

table; (2) if the exporter is not a 

respondent identified in the table above, 

but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

that producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

this final affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Because Commerce’s 

final determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of tin mill products no later 

than 45 days after this final 

determination. If the ITC determines 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 10, 2024 / Notices 1547 

that such injury does not exist, this 

proceeding will be terminated, all cash 

deposits posted will be refunded, and 

suspension of liquidation will be lifted. 

If the ITC determines that such injury 

does exist, Commerce will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section 

above. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination and this notice are 

issued and published pursuant to 

sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: January 4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 7, 2023, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register the Preliminary 

Results 1 of the 2021–2022 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on TRBs 

from China 2 and invited interested 

parties to comment.3 Subsequent to the 

Preliminary Results, we received a case 

brief from Tainai and a rebuttal brief 

from the Timken Company (the 

petitioner).4 On October 6, 2023, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), Commerce extended the deadline 

for issuing these final results until 

January 3, 2024.5 For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.6

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is tapered roller bearings and 

parts thereof, finished and unfinished, 

from China. A full description of the 

scope of the Order is contained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.7

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in case and rebuttal 

briefs filed by parties in this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

and are listed in the appendix to this 

notice. The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

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. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

we made certain changes to the margin 

calculations for Tainai and updated the 

rate assigned to the non-examined, 

separate-rate respondent, Zhejiang Jingli 

Bearing Technology Co., Ltd. (Jingli).8

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondent 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

determined that Jingli demonstrated its 

eligibility for a separate rate. We did not 

receive any comments or argument 

since the issuance of the Preliminary 

Results that provide a basis for 

reconsideration of this determination. 

Therefore, for these final results, we 

continue to find that Jingli is eligible for 

a separate rate. 

The statute and our regulations do not 

address the establishment of a rate to be
