merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. 

For DSM and Hyundai Steel, we 

calculated importer-specific assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of the 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).7 For entries of subject 

merchandise during the period of 

review produced by DSM or Hyundai 

Steel for which it did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. For the companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination, BDP International, Bookuk 

Steel Co., Ltd., Samsung C&T 

Engineering & Construction Group, 

Samsung C&T Trading and Investment 

Group, and Sung Jin Steel Co., Ltd., we 

will instruct CBP to apply the rates 

listed above to all entries of subject 

merchandise produced and/or exported 

by these firms. For the eight companies 

that we determined had no reviewable 

entries of the subject merchandise in 

this review period, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate any applicable entries of 

subject merchandise at the all-others 

rate. We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of these 

reviews. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be applicable upon publication of 

this notice for all shipments of CTL 

plate from Korea entered, or withdrawn 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 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior completed segment of 

the proceeding, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most 

recent period; (3) if the exporter is not 

a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer has been covered in a prior 

complete segment of this proceeding, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recent period 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

manufacturers or exporters will 

continue to be 0.98 percent,8 the allothers rate determined in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation, adjusted 

for the export-subsidy rate in the 

companion countervailing duty 

investigation. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

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 or 

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 violation subject to sanction. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).

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. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.11 If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

de minimis in the final results of this 

review and the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, we will 

calculate importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates for the merchandise 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined 

sales made during the period of review 

to each importer to the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the 

respondent has not reported reliable 

entered values, we will calculate a perunit assessment rate for each importer 

by dividing the total amount of 

dumping for the examined sales made 

during the period of review to that 

importer by the total sales quantity 

associated with those transactions. 

Where an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis in the final 

results of review, we will instruct CBP 

not to assess duties on any of its entries 

in accordance with the Final 

Modification for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here 

the weighted-average margin of 

dumping for the exporter is determined 

to be zero or de minimis, no 

antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 12

Regarding entries of subject 

merchandise during the period of 

review that were produced by Prolamsa 

and for which they did not know that 

the merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate un-reviewed entries at the allothers rate of 3.76 percent, as 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation of the order, if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction.13 For a full

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review 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 Prolamsa will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, 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 in the investigation but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the 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 the all-others rate of 3.76 percent. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties.

notice in accordance with sections 

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