SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 7, 2005, the Department published the preliminary 
results of the 2004-2005 antidumping duty administrative review of 
stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Korea. See Preliminary 
Results. The review covers Sungkwang Bend Company (SKBC), and the 
period February 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005. In the Preliminary 
Results, we invited parties to comment. We received no comments.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are certain welded stainless 
steel butt-weld pipe fittings (pipe fittings), whether finished or 
unfinished, under 14 inches in inside diameter.
    Pipe fittings are used to connect pipe sections in piping systems 
where conditions require welded connections. The subject merchandise 
can be used where one or more of the following conditions is a factor 
in designing the piping system: (1) Corrosion of the piping system will 
occur if material other than stainless steel is used; (2) contamination 
of the material in the system by the system itself must be prevented; 
(3) high temperatures are present; (4) extreme low temperatures are 
present; (5) high pressures are contained within the system.
    Pipe fittings come in a variety of shapes, and the following five 
are the most basic: ``elbows,'' ``tees,'' ``reducers,'' ``stub ends,'' 
and ``caps.'' The edges of finished fittings are beveled. Threaded, 
grooved, and bolted fittings are excluded from this review. The pipe 
fittings subject to this order are classifiable under subheading 
7307.23.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and 
customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this order is

Liquidation

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated 
exporter/importer-specific assessment rates. To calculate these rates, 
we divided the total dumping margins for the reviewed sales by the 
total entered value of those reviewed sales for each importer. Id. The 
Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to 
CBP within 15 days of publication of these final results of review. We 
will direct CBP to assess the appropriate assessment rate against the 
entered Customs values for the subject merchandise on each of the 
importer's entries under the relevant order during the POR.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice of final results of administrative review 
for all shipments of stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Korea 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act): (1) Because the cash deposit rate for the 
reviewed company is de minimis, (see 19 CFR 351.106(c)) no cash deposit 
shall be required; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated 
companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if 
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or 
the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the 
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for 
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) 
the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will 
continue to be 21.2 percent. This rate is the ``All Others'' rate from 
the amended final determination in the LTFV investigation. See 
Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Welded Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 
Fittings From Korea, 58 FR 11029 (February 23, 1993). These deposit 
requirements shall remain in effect until the publication of the final 
results of the next administrative review.
    This notice also 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 or countervailing 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 or countervailing duties 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
    disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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 violation which is 
subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 7, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
