SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 21, 30, and 31, 2020, we 

received requests for multiple 

administrative reviews.1 On September 

3, 2020, Commerce published a notice 

of initiation of an administrative review 

of the countervailing duty (CVD) order 

on CORE from Korea.2 On October 6, 

2020, Commerce selected KG Dongbu 

Steel Co., Ltd. (KG Dongbu Steel) 

(formerly Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.)/ 

Dongbu Incheon Steel Co., Ltd. 

(collectively, Dongbu) and Hyundai 

Steel Company as mandatory 

respondents in this administrative 

review.3

On March 4, 2021, and March 24, 

2021, Commerce extended the deadline 

for the preliminary results of this 

review.4

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.5 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included at the 

Appendix I to this notice. The 

Preliminary 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 registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is certain corrosion-resistant steel 

products. For a complete description of 

the scope of the order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution 

from an authority that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.6 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

accompanying Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies Under Review 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not directly address the 

CVD rates to be applied to companies 

not selected for individual examination 

where Commerce limited its 

examination in an administrative review 

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

Act. However, Commerce normally 

determines the rates for non-selected 

companies in reviews in a manner that 

is consistent with section 705(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation. Section 777A(e)(2) of the 

Act provides that ‘‘the individual 

countervailable subsidy rates 

determined under subparagraph (A) 

shall be used to determine the all-others 

rate under section 705(c)(5) {of the 

Act}.’’ Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

states that for companies not 

investigated, in general, we will 

determine an all-others rate by weightaveraging the countervailable subsidy 

rates established for each of the 

companies individually investigated, 

excluding zero and de minimis rates or 

any rates based solely on the facts 

available. 

We preliminarily determine that 

Dongbu is the only mandatory 

respondent that received 

countervailable subsidies that are above 

de minimis. Therefore, we preliminarily 

determine to apply the net subsidy rate 

calculated for Dongbu to the nonselected companies. For a list of the 36 

companies for which a review was 

requested, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents or found to 

be cross-owned with a mandatory 

respondent, see Appendix II to this 

notice. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the net 

countervailable subsidy rates to be:

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and

rebuttal briefs in this review are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue;

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Unless extended, we intend to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of the issues raised in the 

case briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h). 

Assessment Rate 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 

assigned subsidy rates in the amounts 

shown above for the producer/exporters 

shown above. Upon completion of the 

administrative review, consistent with 

section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

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 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce intends, upon 

publication of the final results, 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 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 at the 

most recent company-specific or all 

others rate applicable to the company. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published pursuant to sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(4).
