SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On October 17, 2019, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the preliminary results of the 2017-2018 administrative review of the antidumping order for large power transformers from the Republic of Korea. Commerce inadvertently stated that a weight-average dumping margin exists for LSIS Co., Ltd (LSIS). LSIS timely notified Commerce that it had no exports, sales, or entries during the period of review (POR), August 1, 2017 to July 31, 2018.^[1] Commerce issued a no-shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and CBP responded that it found no evidence of shipments from LSIS during the POR.^[2] Specifically, CBP indicated that it found no shipments by LSIS during the POR.^[3] Thus, based on record evidence, we preliminary determine that LSIS had no shipments during the POR. Consistent with Commerce's practice, we find that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with respect to LSIS but, rather, to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review.^[4] This notice serves as a correction notice.

Dated: November 21, 2019.

Christian Marsh,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
