SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 

determines that Hyundai Steel Pipe Co., 

Ltd. (HSP) is the successor-in-interest to 

Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai 

Steel) in the context of the antidumping 

duty (AD) orders on circular welded 

non-alloy steel pipe (CWP), certain oil 

country tubular goods (OCTG), welded 

line pipe (WLP), and large diameter 

welded pipe (LDWP) from the Republic 

of Korea (Korea). Therefore, HSP is 

entitled to Hyundai Steel’s AD cash 

deposit rate with respect to entries of 

the subject merchandise in the abovereferenced proceedings. Interested 

parties are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable October 17, 2024.

DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482–1167. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 11, 2024, HSP requested 

that, pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

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

19 CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3), Commerce conduct a 

changed circumstances review (CCR) to 

determine that HSP is the successor-ininterest to Hyundai Steel and, 

accordingly, to assign HSP the cash 

deposit rates currently applicable to 

Hyundai Steel pursuant to the CWP 

Order; OCTG Order; Welded Line Pipe 

Order; and LDWP Order.1 On April 25, 

2024, Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of a CCR to determine if HSP 

is the successor-in-interest to Hyundai 

Steel in the above-referenced Orders.2

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is CWP, OCTG, WLP, and LDWP 

from Korea. For a complete description 

of the scope of each of these orders, see 

the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Legal Framework 

In determining whether one company 

is the successor-in-interest to another 

company as part of an AD proceeding, 

Commerce examines several factors 

including, but not limited to: (1) 

management and ownership; (2) 

production facilities; (3) supplier 

relationships; and (4) customer base.4

Although no single factor, or 

combination of factors, will necessarily 

provide a dispositive indication of 

successorship, generally, Commerce 

will consider one company to be the 

successor-in-interest to another 

company if its operations are not 

materially dissimilar to those of the 

other company.5 Thus, if the totality of 

the evidence demonstrates that, with 

respect to the production and sale of the 

subject merchandise, the new company 

operates as the same business entity as 

the prior company, Commerce will find 

the new company to be the successorin-interest to the prior company and 

assign the new company the cash 

deposit rate of its predecessor.6

Preliminary Results of the CCR 

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216, 

we preliminarily determine that HSP is 

the successor-in-interest to Hyundai 

Steel with respect to the subject 

merchandise and the Orders because 

record evidence, as submitted by HSP, 

indicates that HSP operates as 

essentially the same business entity as 

Hyundai Steel. HSP’s management and 

ownership, production facilities, 

supplier relationships, and customer 

base are the same, or substantially the 

same, as those of Hyundai Steel. Based 

on the foregoing, which is explained in 

greater detail in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, we 

preliminarily determine that HSP is the 

successor-in-interest to Hyundai Steel 

and, as such, that HSP is entitled to 

Hyundai Steel’s AD cash deposit rates 

with respect to entries of subject 

merchandise. 

For a complete discussion of the 

information that HSP provided, and the 

complete successor-in-interest analysis, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. A list of topics discussed 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) has received 

requests to conduct administrative 

reviews of various antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders with September anniversary 

dates. In accordance with Commerce’s 

regulations, we are initiating those 

administrative reviews.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce has received timely 

requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), for administrative reviews of 

various AD and CVD orders with 

September anniversary dates. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

various types of information, 

certifications, or comments or actions by 

Commerce discussed below refer to the 

number of calendar days from the 

applicable starting time. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event that 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 

either on U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) data for U.S. imports 

during the period of review (POR) or 

questionnaires in which we request the 

quantity and value (Q&V) of sales, 

shipments, or exports during the POR. 

Where Commerce selects respondents 

based on CBP data, we intend to place 

the CBP data on the record within five 

days of publication of the initiation 

notice. Where Commerce selects 

respondents based on Q&V data, 

Commerce intends to place the Q&V 

questionnaire on the record of the 

review within five days of publication 

of the initiation notice. In either case, 

we intend to make our decision 

regarding respondent selection within 

35 days of publication of the initiation 

Federal Register notice. Comments 

regarding the CBP data (and/or Q&V 

data (where applicable)) and respondent 

selection should be submitted within 

seven days after the placement of the 

CBP data/submission of the Q&V data 

on the record of this review. Parties 

wishing to submit rebuttal comments 

should submit those comments within 

five days after the deadline for the 

initial comments. 

In the event that Commerce decides it 

is necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

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