Background

    On September 5, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register 
the final results of the changed circumstances review (CCR Final 
Results) of the antidumping duty order \1\ on certain hot-rolled steel 
flat products from Japan.\2\ As a result of the CCR, we determined that 
NSC was the successor-in-interest to Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal 
Corporation (NSSMC).\3\ In the Federal Register notice, we 
inadvertently stated that the cash deposit rate in effect for NSC on 
the date the CCR Final Results were published was NSSMC's antidumping 
duty cash-deposit rate from the underlying investigation (4.99 
percent). However, the actual rate in effect for NSC on the date the 
CCR Final Results were published was NSSMC's rate from the final 
results of the first administrative review (7.64 percent), published on 
June 28, 2019, which superseded the 4.99 percent investigation rate.\4\ 
Therefore, we are correcting the CCR Final Results. This notice serves 
to correct the NSC rate listed in the CCR Final Results from 4.99 
percent to 7.64 percent. No other changes have been made to the CCR 
Final Results.
