greater, or in straight lengths which, if
of a thickness less than 4.75 millimeters,
are of a width of 0.5 inch or greater and
which measures at least 10 times the
thickness or if of a thickness of 4.75
millimeters or more are of a width

this order are corrosion-resistant flat-
rolled products of non-rectangular
cross-section where such cross-section
is achieved subsequent to the rolling
process (i.e., products which have been
"worked after rolling") - for example,
products which have been beveled or
rounded at the edges. Excluded from
this order are flat-rolled steel products
either plated or coated with tin, lead,
chromium, chromium oxides, both tin
and lead (terne plate), or both chromium
and chromium oxides (tin-free steel),
whether or not painted, varnished or
coated with plastics or other
nonmetallic substances in addition to
the metallic coating. Also excluded from
this order are clad products in straight
lengths of 0.1875 inch or more in
composite thickness and of a width
which exceeds 150 millimeters and
measures at least twice the thickness.
Also excluded from this order are
certain clad stainless flat-rolled
products, which are three-layered
corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat-
rolled products less than 4.75
millimeters in composite thickness that
consist of a carbon steel flat-rolled
product clad on both sides with
stainless steel in a 20%-60%-20% ratio.

Amended Final Results of Review
After analyzing U.S. Steel's
comments, we have determined, in
accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224, that the
Department has made a ministerial error
in the final results calculation for
Dongbu in this administrative review.
The Department has re-calculated
Dongbu's credit expense using the
customer-specific credit period, as
reported by Dongbu. For a detailed
discussion of the ministerial error, see
"Memorandum from James Terpstra to
Melissa Skinner, re: Amended Final
Results for the Fourteenth
Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products from the Republic of Korea
(Period of Review: August 1, 2006,
through July 31, 2007): Allegations of
Ministerial Errors," dated April 20, 2009
(Ministerial Error memo); see also
"Memorandum from Christopher
Hargett to James Terpstra, re: Amended
Final Results in the 06/07
Administrative Review on Corrosion-
Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products
from Korea: Calculation Memorandum
for Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.," dated April
20, 2009.
After analyzing POSCO's comments,
we have determined that we erred by
not beginning the window period on the
first day of the month in question and
not ending the window period on the
last day of the month in question.
Further, we agree that we incorrectly
included DINDRSU to the list of
variables to be converted from Korean
Won to U.S. Dollars. We disagree with
POSCO regarding the treatment of sales
that may have occurred for which the
export price (or constructed export
price) exceeded normal value. The
Department's treatment of any such
sales that may have occurred was not a
ministerial error.
The Department agrees with Nucor
that the changes to the calculations of
POSCO's margin in this administrative
review do not result in a revised rate.
Although the calculated rate for POSCO
remains unchanged, the Department is
making the aforementioned
programming changes in accordance
with the Department's practice. See
Ministerial Error memo; see also
"Memorandum from Christopher
Hargett to James Terpstra, re: Amended
Final Results in the 06/07
Administrative Review on Corrosion-
Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products
from Korea: Calculation Memorandum
for Pohang Iron & Steel Company, Ltd.(POSCO), and Pohang Coated Steel Co.,
Ltd.(POCOS) (collectively, the POSCO
Group)," dated April 20, 2009.
After analyzing HYSCO's comments,
we have determined that we did not
make a clerical error with regard to the
financial expense ratio. In order to be
consistent with the facts on the record,
we chose to follow the exact interest
income allocation methodology that
HYSCO used in the 2006 financial
expense ratio calculation in its section
D questionnaire response, dated
February 4, 2008. This methodology
reasonably allocates interest income
based on a ratio of short-term and long-
term deposits.
With regard to the error allegation on
movement expenses, we agree with
HYSCO that we made a clerical error by
inadvertently not deducting the total
Freight and Export Expenses from the
SG&A calculation. The record
demonstrates that both of these line
items are most likely related to freight-
out. Regarding the "others income" in
the calculation of HYSCO's G&A
expenses, we find that the Department
intended to exclude the "others
income" as an offset to G&A.
With regard to the error allegation that
we used the incorrect beginning and
ending day for the period reviewed for
calculation of the comparison market
and margin programs, we agree with
U.S. Steel that we used the incorrect
beginning and ending day. Therefore, in
accordance with the Department's
practice, we are correcting theses dates
to reflect the first and last dates of the
sales in question. See Ministerial Error
memo; see also "Memorandum from
Christopher Hargett to James Terpstra,
Amended Final Results of the
Fourteenth Administrative Review of
Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon
Steel Flat Products from Korea:
Calculation Memorandum for Hyundai
HYSCO," dated April 20, 2009.
We are revising the review-specific
average rate to reflect the weighted
average rate based on the amended
results of the companies subject to the
instant review. See "Memorandum from
Christopher Hargett to James Terpstra,
Amended Final Results in the 06/07
Administrative Review of Corrosion-
Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products
from Korea: Calculation of Review-
Specific Average Rate," dated April 20,
2009.
In accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act, we are amending the final
results of the antidumping duty
administrative review of CORE from
Korea for the period August 1, 2006, to
July 31, 2007. As a result of correcting
the ministerial errors discussed above,and in the company-specific memos
