resistant steel products from Korea. For a complete description of the

Final Results of the Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, 
and because we received no contrary comments from interested parties 
challenging our preliminary finding, Commerce continues to find that 
Dongkuk CM is the successor-in-interest to Old Dongkuk Steel and is 
entitled to the same AD cash deposit rate as Old Dongkuk Steel with 
respect to entries of subject merchandise in the above-noted 
proceeding. Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject 
merchandise produced and/or exported by Dongkuk CM and entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of this notice in the Federal Register at the AD cash deposit rate 
in effect for Old Dongkuk Steel. This cash deposit requirement shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
