SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In accordance with sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), on April 22, 2024, Commerce published its 
affirmative final determinations of sales at LTFV of brass rod from 
Brazil, India, Mexico, Korea, and South Africa,\1\ and its affirmative 
final determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided 
to producers and exporters of brass rod from Korea.\2\ In the LTFV and 
CVD investigations of brass rod from Korea, a respondent timely alleged 
that Commerce made certain ministerial errors. See ``Amendment to the 
Korea Final Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value'' section 
below for further discussion.

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

    On June 5, 2024, pursuant to sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Act, 
the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative determinations that 
an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of 
dumped imports of brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, the Korea, and 
South Africa, and subsidized imports of brass rod from Korea, within 
the meaning of sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the 
Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See ITC's Letter, ``Notification of ITC Final 
Determinations,'' dated June 5, 2024 (ITC Notification Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Orders

    The product covered by these orders is brass rod from Brazil, 
India, Mexico, Korea, and South Africa. For a complete description of 
the scope of the orders, see the appendix to this notice.

Amendment to the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value 
for Korea

    We determine that we made certain ministerial errors in the final 
LTFV and CVD determinations on brass rod from Korea. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.224(e), and as explained further in the Korea AD Ministerial Error 
Memorandum \4\ and Korea CVD Ministerial Error Memorandum \5\ issued 
concurrently with this notice, Commerce is amending the Korea Final 
LTFV Determination to reflect the correction of certain ministerial 
errors, which resulted from the misclassification of certain subsidies 
in the companion CVD proceeding. Correction of these errors changes the 
final AD adjusted cash deposit rate for Daechang Co., Ltd., Seowon Co. 
Ltd., and IMI Co. Ltd., as well as the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers and exporters not individually investigated. The revised 
rates are listed in the ``Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins'' 
section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of 
Brass Rod from the Republic of Korea: Allegation of Ministerial 
Error in the Final Determination,'' dated concurrently with this 
notice.
    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Countervailing Duty Investigation of Brass 
Rod from the Republic of Korea: Analysis of Ministerial Error 
Allegations,'' dated June 4, 2024. Commerce is not amending the CVD 
final determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

AD Orders

    On June 5, 2024, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the 
ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations that an industry in 
the

[[Page 50264]]

United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of brass rod from 
Brazil, India, Mexico, Korea, and South Africa that are sold in the 
United States at less than fair value.\6\ Therefore, in accordance with 
section 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing these AD 
orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of brass rod from 
Brazil, India, Mexico, Korea, and South Africa are materially injuring 
a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Brazil, 
India, Mexico, Korea, and South Africa, entered or withdrawn from 
warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping 
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, 
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal 
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the 
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise on all 
relevant entries of brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, Korea, and 
South Africa. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated 
entries of brass rod entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after December 1, 2023, the date of publication of 
the Preliminary Determinations of Sales at LTFV,\7\ but will not 
include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional 
measures period and before publication of the ITC's final injury 
determination, as further described below.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of

Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value,

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

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--AD

    Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures--AD'' section of this 
notice, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend 
liquidation on all relevant entries of brass rod from Brazil, India, 
Mexico, Korea, and South Africa, in accordance with section 736 of the 
Act. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect 
until further notice.
    Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits 
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in 
the tables below, adjusted by the relevant subsidy offsets. 
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal 
Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury 
determination, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would 
normally deposit estimated customs duties on subject merchandise, a 
cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the tables below.

Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins

    The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

Provisional Measures--AD

    Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation 
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in 
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a 
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request 
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. 
At the request of exporters that accounted for a significant proportion 
of exports of brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, Korea, and South 
Africa, Commerce extended the four-month period to no more than six-
months.\9\ In the underlying investigations, Commerce published the AD 
Preliminary Determinations on December 1, 2023. Therefore, the six-
month period beginning on the date of the publication of the AD 
Preliminary Determinations ended on May 28, 2024. Pursuant to section 
737(b) of the Act, the collection of cash deposits at the rates listed 
above will begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final injury 
determinations. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the 
Act and our practice, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the 
suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to 
antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of brass rod from Brazil, 
India, Mexico, Korea, and South Africa entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after May 29, 2024, the first day 
provisional measures were no longer in effect, until and through the 
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury 
determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and 
the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication 
of the ITC's final determinations in the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See AD Preliminary Determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

CVD Order

    As stated above, based on the above-referenced affirmative final 
determination by the ITC that an industry in the United States is 
materially injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the 
Act by reason of subsidized imports of brass rod from Korea,\10\ in 
accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this 
CVD order.\11\ Moreover, because the ITC determined that imports of 
brass rod from Korea are materially injuring a U.S. industry, 
unliquidated entries of subject merchandise from Korea entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, are subject to the 
assessment of countervailing duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See ITC Notification Letter.
    \11\ On February 1, 2024, the ITC determined that an industry in 
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of 
brass rod from India, and on February 13, 2024, Commerce published 
the CVD order on brass rod from India. See Brass Rod from India: 
Countervailing Duty Order, 89 FR 10032 (February 13, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce 
intends to direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, 
countervailing duties on all relevant entries of brass rod from Korea, 
which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after September 29, 2023, the date of publication of the Korea CVD 
Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries occurring after 
the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the 
publication of the ITC's final injury determination under section 
705(b) of the Act, as further described in the ``Provisional Measures--
CVD'' section of this notice.\12\

Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final 
Determination With Final Antidumping Duty Determination, 88 FR 67233 
(September 29, 2023) (Korea CVD Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--CVD

    In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to 
instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of brass rod 
from Korea, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final 
affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, and to 
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 
706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties on each entry of subject 
merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates 
below. On or after the date of publication of the ITC's final injury 
determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require, at the same 
time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on 
this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table 
below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect 
until further notice. The all-others rate applies to all producers or 
exporters not specifically listed below, as appropriate.

Estimated Countervailing Duty Subsidy Rates

    The estimated countervailing duty subsidy rates are as follows:

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

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

Provisional Measures--CVD

    Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation 
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in 
effect for more than four months. Commerce published the Korea CVD 
Preliminary Determination on September 29, 2023.\13\ As such, the four-
month period beginning on the date of the publication of the Korea CVD 
Preliminary Determination ended on January 26, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For Booyoung Industry, Commerce determined a de minimis preliminary 
estimated countervailable subsidy rate in the Korea CVD Preliminary 
Determination, and an affirmative final estimated countervailable 
subsidy rate in the Korea CVD Final Determination.\14\ Therefore, in 
accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, we instructed CBP 
to suspend liquidation of entries of brass rod from Korea produced or 
exported by Booyoung Industry that were entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after April 22, 2024, the date of 
publication of the Korea CVD Final Determination. Accordingly, 
provisional measures will not expire for Booyoung Industry until August 
20, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Korea CVD Preliminary Determination, 88 FR at 67234; 
see also Korea CVD Final Determination, 89 FR at 29291.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For all other companies, in accordance with section 703(d) of the 
Act, we instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and 
to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated 
entries of brass rod from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption, on or after January 27, 2024, the date on which the 
provisional measures expired, until and through the day preceding the 
date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the 
Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash 
deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final 
determination in the Federal Register.

Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists

    On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the 
Federal

[[Page 50266]]

Register.\15\ On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the 
Procedural Guidance in the Federal Register.\16\ The Final Rule and 
Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual 
inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any 
interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for 
circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request 
on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as 
well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same 
country of origin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September 
20, 2021) (Final Rule).
    \16\ See Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; 
and Informational Sessions, 86 FR 53205 (September 27, 2021) 
(Procedural Guidance).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in 
the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an 
annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and 
document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the 
notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in 
ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type 
called ``AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.'' \17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ This segment will be combined with the ACCESS Segment 
Specific Information (SSI) field which will display the month in 
which the notice of the order or suspended investigation was 
published in the Federal Register, also known as the anniversary 
month. For example, for an order under case number A-000-000 that 
was published in the Federal Register in January, the relevant 
segment and SSI combination will appear in ACCESS as ``AISL-January 
Anniversary.'' Note that there will be only one annual inquiry 
service list segment per case number, and the anniversary month will 
be pre-populated in ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry 
service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the 
annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30 
days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of 
administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one 
attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead 
attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce 
will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days 
thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance,\18\ the new annual 
inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when 
the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is 
published.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Procedural Guidance, 86 FR at 53206.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as 
needed based on interested parties' amendments to their entries of 
appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and 
representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or 
announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the 
ACCESS website.

Special Instructions for Petitioners and Foreign Governments

    In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ``after an initial request 
and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and 
foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry 
service list in the years that follow.'' \19\ Accordingly, as stated 
above, the petitioner and the Governments of Brazil, India, Mexico, 
Korea, and South Africa should submit their initial entries of 
appearance after publication of this notice in order to appear in the 
first annual inquiry service lists for these orders. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and the Governments of Brazil, India, 
Mexico, Korea, and South Africa will not need to resubmit their entries 
of appearance each year to continue to be included on the annual 
inquiry service list. However, the petitioner and the Governments of 
Brazil, India, Mexico, Korea, and South Africa are responsible for 
making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual 
update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the 
procedures described above.

their international equivalents.
    The brass rod subject to these orders has an actual cross-
section or outside diameter greater than 0.25 inches but less than 
or equal to 12 inches. Brass rod cross-sections may be round, 
hexagonal, square, or octagonal shapes as well as special profiles 
(e.g., angles, shapes), including hollow profiles.
    Standard leaded brass rod covered by the scope contains, by 
weight, 57.0-65.0 percent copper; 0.5-3.0 percent lead; no more than 
1.3 percent iron; and at least 15 percent zinc. No-lead or low-lead 
brass rod covered by the scope contains by weight 59.0-76.0 percent 
copper; 0-1.5 percent lead; no more than 0.35 percent iron; and at 
least 15 percent zinc. Brass rod may also include other chemical 
elements (e.g., nickel, phosphorous, silicon, tin, etc.).
    Brass rod may be in straight lengths or coils. Brass rod covered 
by these orders may be finished or unfinished, and may or may not be
