Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record as
well as comments received from parties
regarding the Preliminary Results, we
made two revisions to Saha Thai’s
margin calculation for the final results.
We revised the differential pricing
analysis to define purchaser based on
Saha Thai’s reported consolidated
customer code in the U.S. market, and
we revised Saha Thai’s general and
administrative expenses.6
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
period March 1, 2011, through February
29, 2012.

instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate
appropriate entries for Saha Thai
without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003.8 This clarification applies
to entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Saha Thai for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Consistent with the Assessment Policy
Notice, because we continue to find that
Pacific Pipe had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate all
applicable entries of merchandise
produced by Pacific Pipe and exported
by other parties at the rate for the
intermediate reseller, if available, or at
the all-others rate.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Thailand entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication as provided
by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for Saha Thai will be
0.00 percent, the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for Pacific Pipe and previously reviewed
or investigated companies not listed
above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the less
than fair value (LTFV) investigation, but
the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently completed segment
of this proceeding for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a
firm covered in this or any previous
review or the LTFV investigation, then

deposit rates, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notifications
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 double antidumping
duties.
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.

Stationery Factory (Leo/Denmax),
Shanghai Lian Li Paper Products Co.,
Ltd. (Lian Li), and Hwa Fuh Plastics Co.,
Ltd./Li Teng Plastics (Shenzhen) Co.,
Ltd. (Hwa Fuh/Li Teng). For these final
results, we made no changes to our
preliminary results. We are rescinding
the review with respect to Hwa Fuh/Li
Teng. We continue to find Leo/Denmax
to be part of the PRC-wide entity. In
addition, we continue to find that Lian
Li made no shipments to the United
States during the POR and will retain its
separate rate status.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 10, 2013, the Department
published the Preliminary Results. We
invited interested parties to comment on
the Preliminary Results, but we received
no comments. The Department has
conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department found that Lian Li made no
shipments to the United States during
the POR and preliminary determined
not to rescind the review with respect
to Lian Li, but to issue appropriate
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) based on the final
results of the review.3 In addition, the
Department preliminarily rescinded this
review with respect to Hwa Fuh/Li Teng
because the questionnaire sent to this
company was returned to the
Department because of an undeliverable
address. Hwa Fuh/Li Teng has no valid
address and could not be contacted. In
addition, because Leo/Denmax did not
respond to the Department’s
questionnaire nor did it submit a proper
no shipments notification to the
Department, we preliminarily
determined that Leo/Denmax failed to
demonstrate that it operates free from
government control. Thus, we
preliminarily determined Leo/Denmax
to be part of the PRC-wide entity.4 We
invited interested parties to submit
comments on our Preliminary Results,
but we received no comments.
Therefore, for these final results, we
continue to find Leo/Denmax to be part
of the PRC-wide entity.
As explained in the memorandum
from the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department has exercised its discretion
to toll deadlines for the duration of the
closure of the Federal Government from
October 1, through October 16, 2013.5
Therefore, all deadlines in this segment
of the proceeding have been extended
by 16 days. If the new deadline falls on
a non-business day, in accordance with
the Department’s practice, the deadline
will become the next business day. The

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record as well as comments received from
parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we made two revisions to
Saha Thai's margin calculation for the final results. We revised the
differential pricing analysis to define purchaser based on Saha Thai's
reported consolidated customer code in the U.S. market, and we revised
Saha Thai's general and administrative expenses.\6\

\6\ See Saha Thai's Final Analysis Memorandum and Memorandum to
the File, entitled ``Final Results of the Administrative Review of
Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand: Analysis
Memorandum for Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd.,'' dated
concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period March 1, 2011, through
February 29, 2012.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd................. 0.00
Pacific Pipe Company Limited............................... *
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* No shipments or sales subject to this review. The firm has an
individual rate from the last segment of the proceeding in which the
firm had shipments or sales.
Assessment Rates
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2) and the Final Modification
for Reviews,\7\ the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate appropriate entries for Saha Thai without
regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\8\ This clarification applies to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Saha Thai for which it did not
know its merchandise was destined for the United States. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment Policy Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with the Assessment Policy Notice, because we continue
to find that Pacific Pipe had no shipments of subject merchandise to
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all applicable
entries of merchandise produced by Pacific Pipe and exported by other
parties at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at
the all-others rate.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from
Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Saha Thai will be 0.00 percent, the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for Pacific Pipe and previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less than
fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a
firm covered in this or any previous review or the LTFV investigation,
then
[[Page 65274]]
the cash deposit rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 15.67 percent
established in the LTFV investigation.\9\ These deposit rates, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notifications
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 double antidumping duties.
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.
Dated: October 23, 2013.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
