    Commerce published its Preliminary Results of this review on March 
23, 2020.\1\ No parties commented on the Preliminary Results.

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary 
Determination of No Shipments in Part; 2018-2019, 85 FR 16326 (March

Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by the order is all ferrovanadium regardless of 
grade (i.e., percentage of contained vanadium), chemistry, form, shape, 
or size. Ferrovanadium is an alloy of iron and vanadium. Ferrovanadium 
is classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS) item number 7202.92.0000. Although this HTSUS item number is 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description 
of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Final Results of Review

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Korvan Ind, 
Co., Ltd. (Korvan) and Woojin Ind. Co., Ltd. (Woojin), had no shipments 
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR and based 
the dumping margin

for Fortune Metallurgical Group Co., Ltd. (Fortune) on total AFA in 
accordance with section 776(a)-(b) of the Act because Fortune did not 
respond to Commerce's questionnaire.\2\ No parties commented on the 
Preliminary Results.

    In these final results of review, Commerce is adopting the 
decisions taken in the Preliminary Results, as explained in the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Specifically, Commerce continues to 
find that Korvan and Woojin had no shipments of subject merchandise to 
the United States during the POR and continues to assign Fortune a 
dumping margin of 54.69 percent based on total AFA.

    Commerce has determined that the following weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for the firm listed below for the period May 1, 2018 
through April 30, 2019:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of 
subject merchandise covered by this review in accordance with these 
final results of review.\3\ Commerce intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice of final 
results in the Federal Register. Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 
liquidate POR entries of subject merchandise from Fortune Metallurgical 
Group Co., Ltd. at the rate listed in the table above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act; 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, because Commerce determines that Korvan and Woojin 
did not make any sales or shipments of subject merchandise to the 
United States during the POR, any suspended entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR under their case numbers will be liquidated 
at the all-others rate.\4\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for 
shipments of ferrovanadium from the Republic of Korea entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of these final results of review, as provided for by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The 
cash deposit rate for Fortune will be equal to the weighted-average 
dumping margin listed for Fortune in the table above; (2) for companies 
not covered by this review, but covered in a prior segment of this 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate established for the company in the most recently 
completed segment of the proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, in a prior review, or in the investigation in 
this proceeding but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the producer of the merchandise in the most 
recently completed segment of the proceeding; and (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 3.22 
percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of 
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in 
this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the 
return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial 
protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the 
regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to 
sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing these final results of administrative review and 
publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
