SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 13, 2017, Commerce published a notice of initiation of 
an administrative review of the CVD order on CORE from Korea.\1\ On 
June 20, 2018, Commerce extended the deadline for the preliminary 
results to August 3, 2018.\2\ For a complete description of the events 
that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum.\3\ A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum is included at the Appendix to this notice. The 
Preliminary 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 
is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of 
the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete

Korea,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice 
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order is certain corrosion-resistant 
steel products. For a complete description of the scope of the order, 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part

    Commerce initiated a review of 22 companies in this segment of the 
proceeding.\4\ Two of these companies, Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. and 
Union Steel Manufacturing Co. Ltd. are not subject to the CVD order on 
CORE from Korea.\5\ Accordingly, we are rescinding the review with 
respect to these two companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Initiation Notice and Initiation Notice Correction. The 
22 companies were: Bukook Steel Co., Ltd.; CJ Korea Express; DK 
Dongshin Co., Ltd.; Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd., Dongbu Incheon 
(collectively, Dongbu) Steel Co., Ltd.; Dongbu Express; Dongkuk 
Steel Mill Co., Ltd.; Hongyi (HK) Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; 
Hyundai Steel; Jeil Sanup Co., Ltd.; Mitsubishi International Corp.; 
POSCO; POSCO C&C; POSCO Daewoo Corp.; Sejung Shipping Co., Ltd.; 
SeAH Steel, Seil Steel Co., Ltd.; Soon Hong Trading Co., Ltd.; 
Taisan Construction Co., Ltd.; TCC Steel Co., Ltd.; Union Steel 
Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; and Young Sun Steel Co.
    \5\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intent To Rescind Administrative Review, in Part

    Based on information submitted by Mitsubishi International 
Corporation after the initiation of this administrative review, and 
because there is no evidence on the record to indicate that

[[Page 39672]]

this company had entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we 
preliminarily intend to rescind the review with respect to Mitsubishi 
International Corporation.\6\ A final decision regarding whether to 
rescind the review of this company will be issued with the final 
results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(l)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each 
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we preliminarily 
determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 
financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 
and that the subsidy is specific.\7\ For a full description of the 
methodology underlying our conclusions, see the accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding 
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companies Not Selected for Individual Review

    For the companies not selected for individual review, because the 
rates calculated for Dongbu and Hyundai Steel were above de minimis and 
not based entirely on facts available, we applied a subsidy rate based 
on a weighted-average of the subsidy rates calculated for Dongbu and 
Hyundai Steel using publicly ranged sales data submitted by 
respondents. This is consistent with the methodology that we would use 
in an investigation to establish the all-others rate, consistent with 
section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

Preliminary Results of Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 
determine that the following subsidy rates exist for the 2015 and 2016 
periods. The 2015 rate applies to the November 6, 2015, through 
December 31, 2015, period when liquidation of entries was suspended. 
The 2016 rate applies to entries suspended during 2016 and to establish 
the cash deposit rate for exports of subject merchandise subsequent to 
the final results.

Assessment Rate

    Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, upon issuance of 
the final results, Commerce shall determine, and Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review. We intend to issue instructions to CBP 
15 days after publication of the final results of this review. For 
companies for which this review is rescinded, Commerce will instruct 
CBP to liquidate entries without regard to countervailing duties.

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing 
duties in the amount indicated above with regard to shipments of 
subject merchandise 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 
continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at 
the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the 
company, as appropriate. These cash deposit instructions, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
