respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 2, 1992, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on CWP 

from Korea.1 On November 1, 2022, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

Order.2 On December 29, 2023, based on 

timely requests for review, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the Order 

covering 26 producers/exporters.3 On 

February 27, 2024, we selected Husteel 

Co., Ltd. (Husteel) and Hyundai Steel 

Company (Hyundai Steel) 4 for 

individual examination as mandatory 

respondents in this administrative 

review.5

On July 17, 2024, Commerce extended 

the deadline to issue the preliminary 

results of this review until November 

29, 2024.6 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.7 The deadline for the preliminary 

results is now December 6, 2024. For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.8

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

scope of the Order is CWP from Korea. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Rescission of Administrative Review in 

Part 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review if a party that 

requested a review withdraws the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of notice of initiation of the 

requested review. On March 13, 2024, 

Wheatland Tube Company timely 

withdrew its request for review with 

respect to three companies.9 Because no 

other parties requested a review of these 

companies, we are rescinding this 

review, in part, with respect to the 

following three companies: SeAH Steel 

VINA Corporation, Hoa Sen Group, and 

Hoa Phat Steel Pipe Co Ltd. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). Constructed export 

price is calculated in accordance with 

section 772 of the Act. NV is calculated 

in accordance with section 773 of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a weighted-average 

dumping margin to be determined for 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in an investigation, for 

guidance when determining the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

companies which were not selected for 

individual examination in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

In this review, we have preliminarily 

calculated a de minimis weightedaverage dumping margin for Hyundai 

Steel and calculated an above de 

minimis weighted-average dumping 

margin for Husteel. Accordingly, we 

have preliminarily assigned Husteel’s 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin to the 21 non-selected 

companies,10 consistent with section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the 

period November 1, 2022, through 

October 31, 2023: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties for these preliminary 

results within five days after public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs to Commerce no later than 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.13 Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in the case briefs, may be 

filed no later than five days after the 

date for filing case briefs.14 Interested 

parties who submit case or rebuttal 

briefs in this proceeding must submit: 

(1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities.15

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this 

administrative review, we instead 

request that interested parties provide at 

the beginning of their briefs a public 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.16 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their executive 

summary of each issue to no more than 

450 words, not including citations. We 

intend to use the executive summaries 

as the basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final results in this review. We request 

that interested parties include footnotes 

for relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).17

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. Hearing requests should 

contain: (1) the party’s name, address, 

and telephone number; (2) the number 

of participants and whether any 

participant is a foreign national; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

issues raised in the respective case 

briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined and 

will notify the parties through 

ACCESS.18 Parties should confirm the 

date, time, and location of the hearing 

two days before the scheduled date. All 

submissions, including case and 

rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing 

requests, should be filed using ACCESS. 

An electronically-filed document must 

be received successfully in its entirety 

by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

on the established deadline. 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act, upon completion of the final results 

of this administrative review, Commerce 

shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise covered 

by this review.19 If a respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 

0.50 percent) in the final results of this 

review, we intend to calculate an 

importer-specific ad valorem AD 

assessment rate based on the ratio of the 

total amount of dumping calculated for 

each importer’s examined sales to the 

total entered value of those same sales 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).20 If the weighted-average 

dumping margin or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 

the final results of review, we intend to 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.21

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Husteel or 

Hyundai Steel for which it did not know 

that the merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we intend to instruct 

CBP to liquidate those entries at the allothers rate in the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation (i.e., 4.80 

percent) 22 if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.23

I which were not selected for individual

review, we will assign an assessment 

rate based on the review-specific rate, 

calculated as noted in the ‘‘Rate for 

Non-Individually Examined 

Companies’’ section, above. The final 

results of this review shall be the basis 

for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

covered by the final results of this 

review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.24

For the companies listed above for 

which this review is being rescinded, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed on 

entries at rates equal to the cash deposit 

of estimated antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends 

to issue assessment instructions to CBP 

for the rescinded companies no earlier 

than 35 days after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

The final results of this administrative 

review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.25

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 Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication in the 

Federal Register of the notice of final 

results of administrative review for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the companies listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review, except if 

the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, 

therefore, de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; (2) for merchandise exported by 

producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

segment of the proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently-completed segment of this 

proceeding in which they were 

reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or the original LTFV investigation, but 

the producer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the cash deposit rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 4.80 percent,26 the all-others rate 

established in the LTFV investigation.27

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless the deadline is otherwise 

extended, Commerce intends to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of issues raised by interested 

parties in the written comments, within 

120 days after the date of publication of 

these preliminary results in the Federal 

Register.28

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
