SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On July 25, 2016, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) published the Antidumping Duty Orders on 
certain corrosion-resistant steel products from India, Italy, the 
People's Republic of China (PRC), the Republic of Korea (Korea), and 
Taiwan.\1\ The Antidumping Duty Orders contained unintended errors 
regarding (1) the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for the 
PRC and (2) the date that the extended period of provisional measures 
expired.

Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins for PRC

    As stated in the Initiation Notice,\2\ the Department calculates 
combination rates for respondents that are eligible for a separate rate 
in non-market economy antidumping duty investigations. Policy Bulletin 
05.1 describes this practice.\3\ While we correctly listed the PRC 
rates as combination rates in the PRC Final

[[Page 58476]]

Determination,\4\ we did not list any of the PRC rates as exporter/
producer combination rates in the Antidumping Duty Orders.\5\

    The PRC weighted-average antidumping duty margins and cash deposit

Provisional Measures

    In the Antidumping Duty Orders, we incorrectly listed the last day 
of the extended period of provisional measures as July 2, 2016.\6\ The 
correct last day of the extended period of provisional measures is July 
1, 2016. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act) and our practice, the Department will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate the suspension 
of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, 
unliquidated entries of certain corrosion-resistant steel products from 
India, Italy, Korea, and the PRC \7\ entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after July 2, 2016, the date on which 
the provisional measure period expired, until and through the day 
preceding the date of publication of the International Trade 
Commission's final injury determinations in the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Antidumping Duty Orders, at 48392.
    \7\ In the Antidumping Duty Orders, we inadvertently stated that 
(1) antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of 
certain corrosion-resistant steel products from Taiwan entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 4, 
2016, the date of publication of the preliminary determination, and 
(2) the last day of the extended period of provisional measures for 
Taiwan was July 2, 2016. These are both incorrect. Because Taiwan 
had a negative preliminary determination, the provisional measures 
period did not expire for Taiwan. See Certain Corrosion-Resistant 
Steel Products from Taiwan: Negative Preliminary Determination of 
Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 81 FR 72 (January 4, 2016). Thus, we 
began to suspend liquidation of all entries of certain corrosion-
resistant steel products from Taiwan on June 2, 2016, the date of 
publication of Taiwan Final Determination. See Certain Corrosion-
Resistant Steel Products from Taiwan: Final Determination of Sales 
at Less Than Fair Value and Final Affirmative Determination of 
Critical Circumstances, in Part, 81 FR 35313 (June 2, 2016) (Taiwan 
Final Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are now correcting the Antidumping Duty Orders for India, Italy, 
the PRC, Korea, and Taiwan, as noted above.
    These corrections to the Antidumping Duty Orders for India, Italy, 
the PRC, Korea, and Taiwan are published in accordance with sections 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 19, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
