date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to the regulations as 
codified at 19 CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

    On August 31, 2000, the Department received a timely request from 
Hyundai Pipe Co., Ltd. (``HDP'') in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(d), 
for a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on certain cold-
rolled carbon steel flat products from Korea, which has an August 
anniversary date. See Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Cold-Rolled 
Carbon Steel Flat Products from Korea, 58 FR 44159 (August 19, 1993).

Initiation of Review

    In its request of August 31, 2000, HDP, as required by 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(i) and (b)(2)(iii)(A), certified that it did not export 
the subject merchandise to the United States during the period of 
investigation (``POI'') January 1, 1992 through June 30, 1992, and that 
since the investigation was initiated on July 20, 1992, (57 FR 33488, 
July 29, 1992), it has not been affiliated with any company which 
exported the subject merchandise to the United States during the POI. 
Pursuant to the Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), 
HDP submitted documentation establishing the date on which it first 
entered the subject merchandise to the United States, the volume of 
that first shipment, and the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated 
customer in the United States.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d), we are initiating a new shipper review of the antidumping 
order on cold-rolled steel from Korea. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(h)(1), we intend to issue preliminary results of this review no 
later than 180 days after the date of initiation.
    In accordance with section 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A) of the Department's 
regulations, the period of review (``POR'') for a new shipper review 
initiated in the month immediately following the annual anniversary 
month is the twelve-month period preceding the anniversary month. 
Therefore, the POR for this new shipper is August 1, 1999 through July 
31, 2000.
    Concurrent with publication of this notice and in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.214(e), we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to allow, 
at the option of the importer, the posting of a bond or security in 
lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the merchandise exported by 
the above listed company, until the completion of this review.
    The interested parties must submit applications for disclosure 
under administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 
and 351.306.
    This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 351.214.
