SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction

In the Federal Register of July 28, 2023, in FR Doc 2023–16033, on pages 48792–48973, in the weighted-average dumping margin table, Commerce did not list a company named “Sidertul S.A. de C.V.”

Background

On December 28, 2021, Commerce initiated this administrative review on multiple companies, including Sidertul S.A. de C.V. (Sidertul), covering the period November 1, 2020, through October 31, 2021.^[1] Subsequently, on June 9, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register the final results of the administrative review; this notice listed Sidertul as one of the companies not selected for individual examination that was assigned the weighted average of the dumping margins calculated for the two mandatory respondents, Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V./Ingeteknos Estructurales, S.A. de C.V. and Grupo Acerero S.A. de C.V.^[2] Finally, Commerce published the Amended Final Results on July 28, 2023, to correct a ministerial error that resulted in amended weighted-average dumping margins assigned to certain companies, including the companies not selected for individual examination.^[3] In the Amended Final Results, Commerce inadvertently omitted Sidertul, and the amended final rate that it was assigned, from the weighted-average dumping margin table.^[4] With the issuance of this notice of correction, we confirm that Sidertul is included among the group of firms that was assigned the rate for companies not selected for individual examination in this administrative review covering the period November 1, 2020, through October 31, 2021.

The corrected weighted-average dumping margin table, including Sidertul, is as follows:

Producer or exporter	Weighted- average dumping margin (percent)
Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V./Ingeteknos Estructurales, S.A. de C.V	2.49
