Ltd. (Hyundai).\2\ Hyundai certified that it is both the producer and

based.\3\

merchandise to the United States during the period of investigation

    In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.214(b)(2), Hyundai submitted documentation establishing the 
following: (1) The date on which it first shipped subject merchandise 
for export to the United States; (2) the volume of its first shipment;

Period of Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A) of the Act, the 
period of review (POR) for new shipper reviews initiated in the month 
immediately following the anniversary month will be the twelve-month 
period immediately preceding the anniversary month. Therefore, under 
this order, the POR is February 1, 2014, through January 31, 2015.

Initiation of New Shipper Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d)(1), the Department finds that the request from Hyundai meets 
the threshold requirements for initiation of a new shipper review for 
shipments of certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from the 
Republic of Korea produced and exported by Hyundai.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See the memorandum to the file entitled ``Certain Cut-To-
Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate from the Republic of Korea: 
Initiation Checklist for Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review of 
Hyundai Steel Co., Ltd.'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this new 
shipper review no later than 180 days from the date of initiation and 
final results of the review no later than 90 days after the date the 
preliminary results are issued.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow, at 
the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the 
review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry 
of the subject merchandise from Hyundai in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Hyundai 
certified that it produced and exported subject merchandise, the sale 
of which is the basis for the request for a new shipper review, we will 
apply the bonding privilege to Hyundai only for subject merchandise 
which was produced and exported by Hyundai.
    To assist in its analysis of the bona fides of Hyundai's sales, 
upon initiation of this new shipper review, the Department will require 
Hyundai to submit on an ongoing basis complete transaction information 
concerning any sales of subject merchandise to the United States that 
were made subsequent to the POR.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
the new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.
    This initiation and notice are published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
