SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset review, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
large power transformers (LPTs) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the 
levels indicated in the ``Final Results of Sunset Review'' section of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 3, 2017, the Department published the notice of initiation 
of the first sunset review of the antidumping duty order on LPTs from 
Korea, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act).\1\ On July 18, 2017, the Department received a notice of 
intent to participate in this review from ABB Inc., (ABB) within the 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). ABB claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of a 
domestic like product in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 82 FR 
30844 (July 3, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 2, 2017, we received a complete substantive response for 
this review from ABB within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive responses from any other 
interested parties, nor was a hearing requested. As a result, pursuant 
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), 
the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 
order.

Scope of the Order

    The scope of this order covers large liquid dielectric power 
transformers (LPTs) 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.
    Incomplete LPTs are subassemblies consisting of the active part and 
any other parts attached to, imported with or invoiced with the active 
parts of LPTs. The ``active part'' of the transformer consists of one 
or more of the following when attached to or otherwise assembled with 
one another: The steel core or shell, the windings, electrical 
insulation between the windings, the mechanical frame for an LPT.
    The product definition encompasses all such LPTs regardless of name 
designation, including but not limited to step-up transformers, step-
down transformers, autotransformers, interconnection transformers, 
voltage regulator transformers, rectifier

transformers, and power rectifier transformers.
    The LPTs subject to this order are currently classifiable under 
subheadings 8504.23.0040, 8504.23.0080 and 8504.90.9540 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the 
HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, 
the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in this review, including the likelihood of 
continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation and 
the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the order were 
revoked, are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. The Issues and 
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 is available to 
registered users at http://access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the 
Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce 
building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum 
and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are 
identical in content.

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 
determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on LPTs from 
Korea would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, 
and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would 
be weighted-average dumping margins up to 29.04 percent.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility

notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to

subject to sanction.

19 CFR 351.218.
