SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 7, 2016, the Department of
Commerce (Department) published in
the Federal Register the Preliminary
Results.1 For a history of events that
have occurred since the Preliminary
Results, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.2 The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the Internet at
https://trade.gov/login.aspx. The signed
Issues and Decision Memorandum and
the electronic versions of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the
antidumping duty order is welded
austenitic stainless steel pipe that meets
the standards and specifications set
forth by the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) for the
welded form of chromium-nickel pipe
designated ASTM A–312. The
merchandise covered by the scope of the
order also includes austenitic welded
stainless steel pipes made according to
the standards of other nations which are
comparable to ASTM A–312.
Imports of welded ASTM A–312
stainless steel pipe are currently
classifiable under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings:
7306.40.5005, 7306.40.5015,
7306.40.5040, 7306.40.5062,
7306.40.5064, and 7306.40.5085.

both pipes and tubes, the scope of the

antidumping duty order is limited to

However, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.3
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A
list of issues raised and to which we
responded in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is attached to this notice
as an Appendix.
Final Determination of No Shipments
The Department preliminarily found
that LS Metal had no shipments and,
therefore, no reviewable transactions
during the POR. The Department
received no further comments or
information that refute this finding.
Thus, the Department continues to find
that LS Metal had no reviewable
transactions during the POR.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, and for the reasons explained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
we have made no change to SeAH’s
margin calculation.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
determine the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the
period December 1, 2014, through
November 30, 2015.
Producer or exporter
SeAH Steel Corporation .............
Weightedaverage

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act)
and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the
Department determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise, in accordance with the
final results of this review.
The Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of merchandise
produced and/or exported by the
aforementioned companies, and intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of
the final results of review.

description of the scope of order.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 96 / Friday, May 19, 2017 / Notices
Where the respondent (i.e., SeAH)
reported the entered value for its sales,
the Department calculates importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales.4 However, where the
respondent did not report the entered
value for its sales, the Department
calculates importer-specific per-unit
duty assessment rates.
The Department’s ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ practice will apply to
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by the respondent
who did not know that the merchandise
was destined for the United States (i.e.,
LS Metal). In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.5

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of
Welded ASTM A–312 Stainless Steel
Pipe from Korea entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the
company under review will be equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is de minimis,
i.e., less than 0.5 percent, then the cash
deposit rate will be zero); (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the less-than-fair-value investigation
(LTFV), but the manufacturer is, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the completed segment
for the most recent period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(4) if neither the exporter nor the
manufacturer is a firm covered in this or
any other completed segment of this
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate
will continue to be 7.00 percent, the ‘‘all
others’’ rate made effective by the LTFV
investigation.6 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
The Department is issuing and
publishing these final results of
administrative review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
