SUMMARY: On November 14, 2001, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published the notice of preliminary results of its 
changed circumstances review examining whether INI Steel Company 
(``INI'') is the successor-in-interest to Inchon Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. 
(``Inchon'') by virtue of its name change. See Notice of Preliminary 
Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review: Structural Steel Beams from the Republic of Korea, 66 FR 57035

this changed circumstances review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.216 and 
351.221(c)(3).
    As a result of this review, the Department finds that INI is the 
successor-in-interest to Inchon, and INI should retain the deposit rate 
assigned to Inchon by the Department for all entries of the subject 
merchandise produced or exported by INI.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 18, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 2001, the Department initiated this changed 
circumstances review. See Structural Steel Beams from the Republic of 
Korea: Notice of Initiation of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 66 FR 49929 (October 1, 2001) (``Notice of 
Initiation''). On November 14, 2001, the Department published the 
preliminary results of its changed circumstances review in the above-
named case. See Preliminary Results (66 FR 57035). We gave interested 
parties 21 days to comment on our preliminary results. However, no 
interested parties have provided comments and no request for a hearing 
was received by the Department.

Scope of the Review

    The products covered by this review include structural steel beams 
that are doubly-symmetric shapes, whether hot-or cold-rolled, drawn, 
extruded, formed or finished, having at least one dimension of at least 
80 mm (3.2 inches or more), whether of carbon or alloy (other than 
stainless) steel, and whether or not drilled, punched, notched, 
painted, coated or clad. These products include, but are not limited 
to, wide-flange beams (``W'' shapes), bearing piles (``HP'' shapes), 
standard beams (``S'' or ``I'' shapes), and M-shapes.
    All products that meet the physical and metallurgical descriptions 
provided above are within the scope of this investigation unless 
otherwise excluded. The following products are outside and/or 
specifically excluded from the scope of this investigation: structural 
steel beams greater than 400 pounds per linear foot or with a web or 
section height (also known as depth) over 40 inches.
    The merchandise subject to this investigation is classified in the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') at 
subheadings: 7216.32.0000, 7216.33.0030, 7216.33.0060, 7216.33.0090, 
7216.50.0000, 7216.61.0000, 7216.69.0000, 7216.91.0000, 7216.99.0000, 
7228.70.3040, 7228.70.6000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided

Successorship and Final Results of Review

    On the basis of the record developed in this proceeding of the 
changed circumstances review, we determine INI to be the successor-in-
interest to Inchon for purposes of determining antidumping duty 
liability. For a complete discussion of the basis for this decision see 
the Preliminary Results (66 FR 57035). Therefore, INI shall retain the 
antidumping duty deposit rate assigned to Inchon by the Department in 
the most recent administrative review of the subject merchandise.
    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to timely notify 
the Department in writing of the return/destruction of APO material is 
a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this finding and notice in accordance 
with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(3) and 19 CFR 351.216.

    Dated: March 11, 2002.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
