Office I, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations to Acting 
Assistant Secretary Ronald K. Lorentzen entitled, ``Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum for the Administrative Review of the Antidumping 
Duty Order on Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate 
Products from the Republic of Korea,'' dated concurrently with and 
hereby adopted by this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination of No Reviewable Entries

    We received timely filed submissions from Daewoo International 
Corp., GS Global Corp., Hyosung Corporation, Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd., 
Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd., Samsung C&T Corporation, Samsung Heavy 
Industries, and SK Networks Co., Ltd., reporting to the Department that 
each had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise to the 
United States during the POR.\2\ Based on record evidence, we 
preliminarily determine that these companies had no reviewable entries 
during the POR. For additional information on our preliminary 
determination of no reviewable entries, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See the no shipment letters from GS Global Corp. dated April 
15, 2016, Hyosung dated May 9, 2016, Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd., and 
Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd., dated May 3, 2016, Daewoo 
International Corp. and SK Networks Co., Ltd., dated May 5, 2016, 
and Samsung C&T Corporation and Samsung Heavy Industries dated May 
4, 2016. We initiated this review on SK Networks. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 
20324, 20326 (April 7, 2016). In its no shipment letter, SK Networks 
Co., Ltd., identified itself also as SK Networks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed export 
price is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal 
value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the 
public via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is 
available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and to all 
parties in the Department's Central Records Unit, located at room B8024 
of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete

Disclosure and Public Comment

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these 
preliminary results to the parties within five days after public 
announcement of the preliminary results in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may 
submit case briefs not later than 30 days after the date of publication 
of this notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case 
briefs, may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing 
case briefs.\3\ Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in 
this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A 
statement of the issue, (2) a brief summary of the argument, and (3) a 
table of authorities.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, must submit a written request to the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via 
ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be received successfully 
in its entirety by the Department's electronic records system, ACCESS, 
by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication 
of this notice.\5\ Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, 
address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a 
list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be 
limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. The Department

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is above de 
minimis in the final results of this review, we will calculate an 
importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the 
total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the importer's 
examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\ If the respondent's weighted-average 
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of reviews, 
we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not to assess 
duties on any of its entries in accordance with the Final Modification 
for Reviews.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the 
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping 
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final 
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for 
Reviews).
    \7\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. or Hyundai Steel Company for which they 
did not know their merchandise was destined for the United States, we 
will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others 
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.
    We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of this review 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

[[Page 12433]]

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for companies subject 
to this review will be the rates established in the final results of 
the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not 
covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific 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 is, 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 producers or 
exporters will continue to be 0.98 percent,\8\ the all-others rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation, adjusted for the 
export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See, e.g., Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate 
Products from the Republic of Korea: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review and New Shipper Review; 2014-2015, 81 FR 
62712, 62714 (September 12, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary 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 POR. 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.
    The Department is issuing and publishing these results in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: February 27, 2017.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
