Analysis 

In the Amended Preliminary Results, 

Commerce determined that Fufeng was 

eligible for separate rate status and 

assigned it a dumping margin of zero 

percent, which is the dumping margin 

that Commerce calculated for both of 

the respondents individually examined 

in the review. As noted above, no 

parties commented on the Amended 

Preliminary Results. In these amended 

final results of review, we are making no 

change to and are adopting the 

decisions in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. Specifically, we 

continue to find that Fufeng is eligible 

for separate rate status and that it is 

appropriate to assign Fufeng the zero 

percent dumping margin that Commerce 

calculated for both of the respondents 

that it individually examined in the 

review. 

Assessment 

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

Tariff Act of 1930 as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce will 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise covered 

by the amended final results of this 

review. Because Fufeng’s weighted 

average dumping margin is zero percent, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.4 Commerce intends 

to issue assessment instructions to CBP 

no earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these amended final 

results of review in the Federal 

Register.5 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 cash deposit rate for Fufeng is 

zero percent, which will be effective for 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. For information 

regarding the cash deposit requirements 

established for other companies in this 

segment of the proceeding, see the Final 

Results.6 This cash deposit requirement, 

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) 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 Orders 

This notice also serves as a 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, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written 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 

which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These amended final results of 

administrative review are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).

domestic interested parties claimed 

interested party status under section 

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

producers of hot-rolled steel.

interested parties, including the

requested. On October 20, 2021, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that we

response from any respondent 

interested parties.5 As a result, pursuant 

to 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 CVD order on hotrolled steel from Korea. 

Scope of the Order
