countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

certain corrosion-resistant steel 

products from the Republic of Korea. 

The period of review (POR) is January 

1, 2021, through December 31, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background 

Commerce published the preliminary 

results of this administrative review on 

July 31, 2023.1 For a description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Order 3

The products covered by this Order 

are certain corrosion-resistant steel 

products. For a complete description of 

the scope of this Order, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in interested parties’ 

case briefs are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum 

accompanying this notice. A list of the 

issues raised by parties, and to which 

Commerce responded in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, is provided in 

the appendix to this notice. 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

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

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

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a 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 revisions to the 

subsidy calculations for KG Dongbu 

Steel Co., Ltd. (KG Dongbu). As a result 

of the changes to KG Dongbu’s final 

subsidy rate, the final subsidy rate for 

the three non-selected companies under 

review also changed.4

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For each of the subsidy programs 

found countervailable, we find that 

there is a subsidy, i.e., a governmentprovided financial contribution that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.5 For a 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s

conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Review 

Commerce’s practice is to rescind an 

administrative review of a 

countervailing duty order, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.6 Normally, 

upon completion of an administrative 

review, the suspended entries are 

liquidated at the countervailing duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.7 Therefore, for an 

administrative review of a company to 

be conducted, there must be a 

reviewable, suspended entry that 

Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

at the countervailing duty assessment 

rate calculated for the review period. 

In the Preliminary Results, we found 

the following four companies subject to 

this review did not have reviewable 

entries during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended: (1) SeAH Steel 

Corporation; (2) POSCO International; 

(3) POSCO Steeleon; and (4) Hyundai 

Steel Co., Ltd. Accordingly, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we stated our 

intention to rescind the review with 

respect to these companies in the final 

results.8 Because there is no evidence 

on the record that these four companies 

had entries, exports, or sales of subject 

merchandise during the POR, and no 

party filed comments with respect to 

our preliminary determination regarding 

these companies, we are rescinding this 

review with respect to these four 

companies consistent with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

There are three companies for which 

a review was requested, but which were 

not selected as mandatory respondents 

or found to be cross-owned with a 

mandatory respondent. These 

companies are: (1) POSCO; (2) POSCO 

Coated & Color Steel Co., Ltd.; and (3) 

SeAH Coated Metal. For these three 

companies, because the rates calculated 

for mandatory respondents KG Dongbu 

and Hyundai Steel Company were above 

de minimis and not based entirely on 

facts available, we applied a final 

subsidy rate based on a weighted 

average of the rates calculated for the 

two mandatory respondents using the 

publicly ranged sales data they 

submitted on the record. This 

methodology for establishing the 

subsidy rate for the non-selected 

companies is consistent with our 

practice and with section 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that, for the period 

January 1, 2021, through December 31, 

2021, the following total net 

countervailable subsidy rates exist: 

Producer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent 

ad valorem) 

KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................................................... 6.48 

Hyundai Steel Company ...................................................................................................................................................... 0.82 

Review-Specific Rate Applicable to Non-Selected Companies: 

POSCO ................................................................................................................................................................................ 1.60 

POSCO Coated & Color Steel Co., Ltd .............................................................................................................................. 1.60 

SeAH Coated Metal ............................................................................................................................................................. 1.60 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results of review within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rate 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 

Commerce has determined, and CBP 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review, for the 

above-listed companies at the applicable 

ad valorem assessment rates listed. 

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 Rates 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown for each of the 

respective companies listed above on 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review. For all nonreviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to 

continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposits, 

effective upon the publication of the 

final results of this review, shall remain 

in effect until further notice. 

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). 

Timely written notification of the 

return/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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These final results are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).
