services. U.S. persons with combined
transactions in excess of $8 million
(based on absolute value), would be
required to disaggregate all transaction
types by country and by relationship of
the foreign transactor to the U.S.
reporter (foreign affiliate, foreign parent
group, or unaffiliated) on the mandatory
schedule(s). On the current survey, the
reporting requirements are applied for
each transaction type separately. This
change will align the survey’s reporting
requirements with those of the other
quarterly services surveys conducted by
BEA.
BEA also proposes to change the due
date of the survey to 30 days after the
close of each calendar quarter from 45
days for the three quarters that are not
the final calendar quarter of the year.
For the close of the final calendar
quarter of the year, reports would be
due 45 days after the close of the quarter
instead of 90 days. Shortening the
reporting timeline will allow BEA to
produce more accurate and complete
trade in services statistics in
preliminary estimates of the ITAs,
which is critical information for
policymakers’ timely decisions on
international trade policy. The earlier
due date will allow BEA to use more
reported data for preliminary statistics,
improving the accuracy of both the
aggregates and the country detail, and
reducing revisions in subsequent
statistical releases. In addition, the
proposed reporting deadlines are also
consistent with the reporting deadlines
of BEA’s quarterly direct investment
surveys.
BEA estimates there will be a small
change in the number of respondents
that would now be required to provide
additional country and affiliation detail
on the mandatory schedules due to the
change in reporting requirements. Most
quarterly respondents are large enough
that they are already required to report
detail on the mandatory schedules. BEA
estimates that approximately 13
additional respondents would now be
required to provide the additional detail
that were not previously required to do
so, and on average would report
transactions with 3 countries.
The additional mandatory reporting
for individual transactions previously
below the reporting thresholds,
resulting from the application of the
threshold to combined transactions,
should have a minimal impact on
reporting burden for the reporters who
will now be required to complete the
mandatory schedules. Since these
respondents represent only a small
portion of the total number of reporters
already filing full country and affiliation
detail, and because BEA believes this
data is readily available in their existing
accounting records, overall burden for
completing the full survey with data
will continue to average 9 hours per
response.
BEA estimates there will be no change
in burden hours per response as a result
of the proposed change in survey due
dates. While survey respondents will
have to file earlier, the burden for the
survey is unchanged because the same
information will be required on the
survey as in the past. The language in
the instructions and definitions will be
reviewed and adjusted as necessary to
clarify survey requirements.
II. Method of Collection
BEA contacts potential respondents
by mail at the end of each quarter.
Respondents would be required to file
the completed BE–45 forms within 30
days after the end of each calendar
quarter that is not the final quarter of
the year and within 45 days after the
close of the final calendar quarter of the
year. Reports would be required from
each U.S. person that had combined
transactions in the covered insurance
services with foreign persons that
exceeded $8 million (based on absolute
value), for the previous calendar year or
are expected to exceed that amount
during the current calendar year.
Entities required to report will be
contacted individually by BEA. Entities
not contacted by BEA have no reporting
responsibilities.
BEA offers its electronic filing option,
the eFile system, for use in reporting on
Form BE–45. For more information
about eFile, go to www.bea.gov/efile. In
addition, BEA posts all its survey forms
and reporting instructions on its
website, www.bea.gov/ssb. These may
be downloaded, completed, printed, and
submitted via fax or mail.

Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers large
liquid dielectric power transformers
(LPTs) having a top power handling
capacity greater than or equal to 60,000
kilovolt amperes (60 megavolt amperes),
whether assembled or unassembled,
complete or incomplete. The
merchandise subject to the order is
currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States at
subheadings 8504.23.0040,
8504.23.0080, and 8504.90.9540. For a
complete description of the scope of the
order, see the accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
determined that LSIS Co. Ltd. (LSIS)
had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.
4
No party
commented on this issue and because
we have not received any information to
contradict our preliminary finding, we
continue to find that LSIS did not have
any shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR and intend to issue
appropriate instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
based on the final results of this review.
Final Successor-in-Interest
Determination
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
determined that LS Electric Co., Ltd. (LS
Electric) is the successor-in-interest to
LSIS.
5
As no party commented on this
issue and because we have not received
any information to contradict our
preliminary finding, we continue to find
that LS Electric is the successor-in-
interest to LSIS.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this
administrative review are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
For a list of the issues raised by parties,
see the Appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties, we made certain changes to the
margin calculations for Hyosung.
6
As a
result of these changes, the weighted-
average dumping margin also changes
for the companies not selected for
individual examination.
Final Results of the Review
The final weighted-average dumping
margins are as follows:
Producer or exporter
Weighted-
average
dumping
margin
(percent)
Hyosung Heavy Industries
Corporation ....................... 52.47
Hyundai Electric & Energy
Systems Co., Ltd .............. 52.47
Iljin Electric Co., Ltd ............. 52.47
Iljin ........................................ 52.47
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations
performed to parties in this proceeding
within five days after the date of the
public announcement of these final
results of review, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
Commerce shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries.
7
For any
individually examined respondents
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis, we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
