Preliminary Results of the Review \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department has 
exercised its discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to 
the recent closure of the Federal Government. See Memorandum to the 
Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting A/S for Enforcement & Compliance, 
regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the 
Government Closure During Snowstorm Jonas,'' dated January 27, 2016. 
All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been extended 
by four business days. The revised deadline for the preliminary 
determination of this administrative review and NSR is now March 4, 
2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated an 
individual subsidy rate for DSM, the firm subject to the administrative 
review. For the period January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014, we 
preliminarily determine the total net countervailable subsidy rate for 
DSM is 0.01 percent which is de minimis. We preliminarily determine 
that the net countervailable subsidy rate for Hyundai Steel, the firm 
subject to the NSR, is 0.23 percent ad valorem, which is de minimis.

Assessment Rates

    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of this review. If the final results 
remain the same as these preliminary results, the Department will 
instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to CVDs all shipments of 
subject merchandise produced by DSM and Hyundai Steel entered or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption from January 1, 2014, through 
December 31, 2014.

Cash Deposit Instructions

    The Department also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of zero percent on shipments of the subject merchandise 
produced and/or exported by DSM and Hyundai Steel entered or withdrawn 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 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.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
