Riepilogo

The Department of Commerce (the Department) completed the administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on cut- to-length carbon-quality steel plate (CTL Plate) from the Republic of Korea for the January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, period of review (POR) in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). This review covers multiple exporters/ producers, one of which is being individually examined as a mandatory respondent. We determine that Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM) received a de minimis net subsidy rate during the POR. We have used DSM's total net subsidy rate as the rate for the remaining five companies subject to review. Additionally, the Department has rescinded the review of five companies that timely certified that they had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Our analysis of comments received is contained in the Decision Memorandum accompanying this Federal Register notice.\1\ The final net subsidy rates are listed below in the "Final Results of Review" section. These subsidy rates are unchanged from the Preliminary Results.\2\ -------------------------------------------------
