Rescission of Administrative Review, In 

Part 

As noted in the Preliminary Results,6

based on our analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data, we 

determine that two companies, Hyundai 

Group and POSCO C&C Co., Ltd. had no 

reviewable shipments, sales, or entries 

of subject merchandise during the POR. 

We received no comments or additional 

information from any interested parties 

regarding these two companies. 

Therefore, absent evidence of shipments 

on the record, we are rescinding the 

administrative review of these 

companies, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based comments received from 

interested parties, we made certain 

changes to Hyundai Steel’s and 

POSCO’s countervailable subsidy rate 

calculations from the Preliminary 

Results.7

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.8 For a 

full description of the methodologies 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

We determine that, for the period 

January 1, 2021, through December 31, 

2021, the following total net 

countervailable subsidy rates exist:

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

filed at the U.S. Court of International

all-others rate or most recent companyspecific rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposits, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice.
