classified under subheading 

2917.39.2000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Subject merchandise may also enter 

under subheadings 2917.39.7000 or

Antidumping Duty Order 

As stated above, on August 9, 2017, in 

accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) 

and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC has 

notified the Department of its final 

determination that the industry in the 

United States producing is materially 

injured by reason of the LTFV imports 

od DOTP from Korea.3 Therefore, in 

accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the 

Act, we are issuing this antidumping 

duty order. Because the ITC determined 

that imports of DOTP from Korea are 

materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Korea, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

As a result of the ITC’s final 

affirmative determination, in 

accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the 

Act, the Department will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess, upon further instruction by the 

Department, antidumping duties equal 

to the amount by which the normal 

value of the merchandise exceeds the 

export price (or constructed export 

price) of the merchandise, for all 

relevant entries of DOTP from Korea. 

Antidumping duties will be assessed on 

unliquidated entries of DOTP from 

Korea entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

February 3, 2017, the date of publication 

of the Preliminary Determination,4 but 

will not include entries occurring after 

the expiration of the provisional 

measures period and before publication 

of the ITC’s final injury determination 

in the Federal Register, should such 

entries exist, as further described below. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct 

CBP to continue to suspend liquidation 

on all relevant entries of DOTP from 

Korea. These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

The Department will also instruct 

CBP to require cash deposits equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins indicated below. 

Accordingly, effective on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination in the Federal 

Register, CBP will require, at the same 

time as importers would normally 

deposit estimated duties on this subject 

merchandise, a cash deposit rate equal 

to the estimated weighted-average 

antidumping duty margins listed 

below.5 The ‘‘all-others’’ rate applies to 

all producers or exporters not 

specifically listed. 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months, except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of exporters that 

account for a significant proportion of 

DOTP from Korea, the Department 

extended the four-month period to six 

months.6 The Department published the 

Preliminary Determination in this 

investigation on February 3, 2017.7

Therefore, the extended period, 

beginning on the date of the publication 

of the Preliminary Determination, ended 

on August 1, 2017. Furthermore, section 

737(b) of the Act states that definitive 

duties are to begin on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act and our practice,8 the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

and to liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of DOTP from Korea entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption after August 1, 2017, the 

date on which the provisional measures 

expired, until and through August 14, 

2017, the day preceding the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register.9

are identical in content. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For the subsidy 

programs found countervailable during 

the POR, we determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that confers a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.5 For a complete 

description of the methodology 

underlying the Department’s 

conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rescission of the 2015 Administrative 

Review, in Part 

As noted in the Preliminary Results, 

the Department received timely no 

shipment responses from GS Global 

Corp. (GS Global), Hyundai Glovis, 

Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd 

(Hyundai Mipo), Hyosung Corporation 

(Hyosung), Daewoo International Corp., 

Samsung C&T Corporation (Samsung 

C&T Corp.), SK Networks Co., Ltd. (SK 

Networks), and Samsung Heavy 

Industries. The Department inquired 

with U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) whether GS Global, 

Hyundai Glovis, Hyundai Mipo, 

Hyosung, Daewoo International Corp., 

Samsung C&T Corp., SK Networks, and 

Samsung Heavy Industries had shipped 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, and CBP provided no evidence 

to contradict the no shipments claims 

made by these companies. Accordingly, 

the Department is rescinding the 

administrative review of with respect to 

these eight companies pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

Under Review 

There are five companies for which a 

review was requested and not 

rescinded, but were not selected as 

mandatory respondents: Bookuk Steel, 

BDP International, Samsung C&T 

Engineering and Construction Group 

(Samsung C&T Engineering), Sung Jin 

Steel Co., Ltd., and Samsung C&T 

Trading and Investment Group 

(Samsung C&T Trading). Consistent 

with the preliminary results, we are 

applying to the non-selected companies 

the rate calculated for Hyundai Steel, 

which is above de minimis. 

Final Results of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), we determine the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates for the period January 1, 2015, 

through December 31, 2015:

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to parties in 

this proceeding the calculations 

performed for these final results within 

five days of the date of the publication 

of this notice in the Federal Register.6

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(2), the Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the date of publication of 

these final results. Because we have 

calculated a de minimis countervailable 

subsidy rate for DSM in the final results 

of this review, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to countervailing duties 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212. For 

Hyundai Steel and the above listed 

companies, we will instruct CBP to 

assess countervailing duties on the 

value of the POR entries at the rate 

shown above. 

Cash Deposit Instructions 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, we intend to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown above, for the 

companies listed above, with the 

exception of DSM, 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 

review. Because the countervailable 

subsidy rate for DSM is de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to collect 

cash deposits at a rate of zero for DSM 

for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise that are 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 

collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties 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. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.213(d)(4) and 19 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. Under the provisions of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), NOAA is 

responsible for management of the 

Nation’s marine fisheries. In addition, 

NOAA must comply with the United 

States’ (U.S.) obligations under the 

Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975 

(16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.). A Certificate of 

Eligibility (COE) for Billfishes is 

required under 50 CFR part 635 to 

accompany all billfish, except for a 

billfish landed in a Pacific state and 

remaining in the state of landing. This 

documentation certifies that the 

accompanying billfish was not 

harvested from the applicable Atlantic 

Ocean management unit (described on 

the NOAA sample certificate), and 

identifies the vessel landing the billfish, 

the vessel’s homeport, the port of 

offloading, and the date of offloading. 

The certificate must accompany the 

billfish to any dealer or processor who 

subsequently receives or possesses the 

billfish. A standard certificate format is 

not currently required to document the 

necessary information, provided it 

contains all of the information required. 

The extension of this collection is 

necessary to implement the 

Consolidated Highly Migratory Species 

Fishery Management Plan, which 

contains conservation and management
