within 120 days after issuance of these 

preliminary results. 

Assessment Rates and Cash Deposit 

Requirement 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

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

assigned subsidy rates in the amounts 

shown above for the producers/ 

exporters shown above. Upon issuance 

of the final results, the Department shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

CVDs on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review. We intend to issue 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of 

review. For companies for which this 

review is rescinded, the Department 

will instruct CBP to assess 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit 

of estimated countervailing duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period 

December 1, 2014, through December 

31, 2015, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(l)(i). The Department intends 

to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, the Department also intends to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated CVDs, in the amounts shown 

above for each of the respective 

companies shown 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withdrawn from warehouse, for 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 

review. For all non-reviewed 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, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Large Power Transformers From the 

Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2015–2016 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on large power 

transformers (LPTs) from the Republic 

of Korea (Korea). The period of review 

is August 1, 2015, through July 31, 2016. 

The review covers five producers/ 

exporters of the subject merchandise. 

We preliminarily determine that 

Hyosung Corporation (Hyosung) and 

Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. 

(Hyundai), the two companies selected 

for individual examination, sold subject 

merchandise in the United States at 

prices below normal value during the 

period of review. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable September 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department initiated this review 

on October 14, 2016.1 We selected two 

mandatory respondents in this review,

6As AFA, we preliminarily assign Hyosung and 

Hyundai a dumping margin of 60.81 percent, an 

AFA rate used in the previous review. See Large 

Power Transformers from the Republic of Korea: 

Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2014–2015, 82 FR 13432 (March 13, 2017). 

This rate achieves the purpose of applying an 

adverse inference, i.e., it is sufficiently adverse to 

ensure that the uncooperative party does not obtain 

a more favorable result by failing to cooperate than 

if it had fully cooperated. According to 776(c)(2) of 

the Act, this rate does not require corroboration.

Hyosung and Hyundai. For a more 

detailed description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, dated concurrently with 

these results and hereby adopted by this 

notice.2

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 to ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

A list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an Appendix to this notice. 

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order covers large 

liquid dielectric power transformers 

having a top power handling capacity 

greater than or equal to 60,000 kilovolt 

amperes (60 megavolt amperes), 

whether assembled or unassembled, 

complete or incomplete. The 

merchandise subject to the order is 

currently classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States at 

subheadings 8504.23.0040, 

8504.23.0080 and 8504.90.9540. This 

tariff classification is provided for 

convenience and Customs purposes; 

however, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive.3

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Facts Available 

Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, 

the Department is preliminarily relying 

upon facts otherwise available to assign 

an estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin to the mandatory respondents in 

this review because both respondents 

withheld necessary information that 

was requested by the Department, 

thereby significantly impeding the 

conduct of the review. Further, the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that these mandatory respondents failed 

to cooperate by not acting to the best of 

their abilities to comply with requests 

for information and, thus, the 

Department is applying adverse facts 

available (AFA) to the respondents, in 

accordance with section 776(b) of the 

Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions regarding the application of 

AFA, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

In accordance with the U.S. Court of 

Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s 

decision in Albemarle Corp. v. United 

States,4 we are applying to the nonselected companies the rate 

preliminarily applied to Hyosung and 

Hyundai in this administrative review.5

This is the only rate determined in this 

review for individual respondents and, 

thus, should be applied to the three 

non-selected companies under section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. For a detailed 

discussion, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that, for 

the period August 1, 2015, through July 

31, 2016, the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 6

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Normally, the Department discloses 

the calculations performed in 

connection with preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice.7

results, unless extended.14

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, the Department 

shall determine, and Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. If the preliminary results are 

unchanged for the final results, we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of 60.81 percent to all 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the period of review which were 

produced and/or exported by Hyosung, 

Hyundai, and the aforementioned 

companies which were not selected for 

individual examination.15 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 Hyosung and 

Hyundai and other companies listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage 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 22.00 percent, 

the rate established in the investigation 

of this proceeding.16 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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

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