SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 21, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on wire 

rod from Korea.1 On April 8, 2019, 

Commerce revoked, in part, the Order 

with respect to grade 1078 and higher 

tire cord quality wire rod used in the 

production of tire cord wire.2 On June 

13, 2019, Commerce revoked, in part, 

the Order with respect to valve spring 

quality (VSQ) wire rod.3

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(B) of Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). On July 6, 

2021, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated this review 

covering POSCO, the sole producer and 

exporter for which a review was 

requested.4 On January 12, 2022, we 

extended the deadline for issuing the 

preliminary results until May 26, 2022.5

For a detailed description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order includes 

certain hot-rolled products of carbon 

steel and alloy steel, in coils, of 

approximately round cross section, less 

than 19.00 mm in actual solid crosssectional diameter. Excluded from the 

scope are grade 1078 and higher tire 

cord quality wire rod to be used in the 

production of tire cord wire. Also, 

excluded from the scope are VSQ steel 

products which are defined as wire rod. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.7

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Constructed export prices are 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as the 

appendix 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 https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin for the period May 1, 2020, 

through April 30, 2021: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

POSCO/POSCO International Corporation 8 ....... 0.00 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, ADs on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.9 The 

final results of this review shall be the 

basis for the assessment of ADs on 

entries of merchandise covered by this 

review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.10

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). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where an examined respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rate based on the ratio of the total

amount of dumping calculated for the 

U.S. sales for a given importer to the 

total entered value of those sales. Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

ADs. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by POSCO for 

which it did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such unreviewed entries 

pursuant to the reseller policy,11 i.e., the 

assessment rate for such entries will be 

equal to the all-others rate established in 

the investigation (i.e., 41.10 percent), if 

there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for POSCO will be 

equal to POSCO’s weighted-average 

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 

previously investigated companies not 

participating in this review, the cash 

deposit will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the 

underlying investigation, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the 

completed segment for the most recent 

POR for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 41.10 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the 

underlying investigation.12 These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs 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 not later

proceeding are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) A statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of 

authorities.15 Executive summaries 

should be limited to five pages total,

briefs should be filed using ACCESS 

and must be served on interested 

parties.16 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.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. An electronically-filed request

determined.19

Final Results of Review 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any written briefs, not 

later than 120 days after the 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)(1), unless otherwise 

extended.20

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 ADs 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 ADs occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double ADs. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(4).
