Dynamic Random Access Memory 

Semiconductors from the Republic of 

Korea: Preliminary Results of 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

is conducting an administrative review 

of the countervailing duty order on 

dynamic random access memory 

semiconductors from the Republic of 

Korea for the period January 1, 2006, 

through December 31, 2006. We 

preliminarily find that Hynix 

Semiconductor, Inc. received 

countervailable subsidies during the 

period of review. If these preliminary 

results are adopted in our final results 

of this review, we will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection to assess 

countervailing duties as detailed in the 

‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’ section 

of this notice. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. See the ‘‘Public 

Comment’’ section of this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 13, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 11, 2003, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published a countervailing duty order 

on dynamic random access memory 

semiconductors (‘‘DRAMS’’) from the 

Republic of Korea (‘‘ROK’’). See Notice 

of Countervailing Duty Order: Dynamic 

Random Access Memory 

Semiconductors from the Republic of 

Korea, 68 FR 47546 (Aug. 11, 2003) 

(‘‘CVD Order’’). On August 2, 2007, the 

Department published a notice of 

‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review’’ for this countervailing duty 

order. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

to Request Administrative Review, 72 

FR 42383 (Aug. 2, 2007). On August 27, 

2007, we received a request for review 

from Hynix Semiconductor, Inc. 

(‘‘Hynix’’). On August 29, 2007, we 

received a request for review of Hynix 

from the petitioner, Micron Technology, 

Inc. (‘‘Micron’’). In accordance with 19 

CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a 

notice of initiation of the review on 

September 25, 2007. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 54428 

(September 25, 2007) (‘‘Initiation 

Notice’’). 

On October 23, 2007, we issued 

countervailing duty questionnaires to 

the Government of the Republic of 

Korea (‘‘GOK’’) and Hynix. We received 

responses to these questionnaires on 

November 26, 2007. On April 1, 2008, 

we issued supplemental questionnaires 

to the GOK and Hynix. We received 

timely responses to these supplemental 

questionnaires on April 15, 2008. We 

issued additional supplemental 

questionnaires to the GOK and Hynix on 

June 12, and July 16, 2008, and received 

responses on June 26, and July 23, 2008, 

respectively. 

We received new subsidy allegations 

from Micron on December 17, 2007.1 On 

March 17, 2008, we initiated an 

investigation of one of the two new 

subsidies that Micron alleged in this 

administrative review. In addition, we 

stated that we did not intend to 

reexamine the timing of the benefit of a 

previously countervailed debt-to-equity 

swap (‘‘DES’’) for the preliminary 

results. See Fourth Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review: Dynamic 

Random Access Memory 

Semiconductors from Korea: New 

Subsidy Allegations Memorandum 

(Mar. 17, 2008) (‘‘New Subsidy 

Allegations—DOC Memorandum’’), 

available in the Central Records Unit 

(‘‘CRU’’), Room 1117 of the main 

Department building. On March 25, 

2008, we issued questionnaires 

concerning the new subsidy allegation 

to Hynix and the GOK. We received a 

response to this questionnaire from 

Hynix on April 8, 2008, and from the 

GOK on April 9, 2008. On July 14, 2008, 

Micron submitted comments for 

consideration in the preliminary results. 

On April 7, 2008, we published a 

postponement of the preliminary results 

in this review until July 31, 2008. See
