Assessment Rates
The Department will 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). The
Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP
15 days after publication of these final
results of review. Because we have
calculated a zero margin for Koehler in
the final results of this review, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
Policy Notice). This clarification applies
to entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Koehler for which
it did not know that the merchandise
was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate effective during the POR if
there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction. See Assessment Policy
Notice for a full discussion of this
clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of lightweight thermal paper
from Germany entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of the final
results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:35 Jun 17, 2014
Jkt 232001
Act: (1) For Koehler, the calculated
weighted-average margin rate is 0.00
percent and, accordingly, no cash
deposit will be required; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies not participating in this
review, 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 previous review, or the
original less-than-fair-value
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 6.50
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.3 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Dated: June 11, 2014.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance.
Notification to Importers
[A–583–008]
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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.

in its entirety by the Department’s
electronic records system IA ACCESS,
by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on the day on
which it is due.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing, or to participate if one is
requested, must submit a written
request to the Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, filed
electronically via IA ACCESS within 30
days after the date of publication of this
notice.7 Requests should contain: (1)
The party’s name, address and
telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be
discussed. Issues raised in the hearing
will be limited to those raised in the
respective case briefs.
The Department will issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs,
not later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.212(b), the Department will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates for each respondent whose
weighted-average dumping margin is
not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent). If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, then the Department will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate all
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties. The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review.

If the weighted-average dumping
margin for Shin Yang is not zero or de
minimis in the final results, then the
Department will calculate importerspecific assessment rates. Because Shin
Yang did not report the entered value of
its sales, we will calculate importerspecific per-unit duty assessment rates
by aggregating the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined
sales of each importer and dividing each
of these amounts by the total quantity
(i.e., weight) associated with those sales.
To determine whether the importerspecific per-unit assessment rates are de
minimis, in accordance with the
requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will calculate
importer-specific ad valorem rates based
on estimated entered values. Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct
CBP to liquidate without regard to
antidumping duties all entries for which
the importer-specific ad valorem rate is
zero or de minimis.
The Department clarified its
automatic assessment regulation on May
6, 2003.8 This clarification will apply to
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Shin Yang for
which the record of this administrative
review indicates they did not know was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate these entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication
of the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of certain circular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Taiwan 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
for Shin Yang will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
In the current employment
environment, information technology
professionals and engineering graduates
are in great demand. The USPTO is in
direct competition with private industry
for the same caliber of candidates with
the requisite knowledge and skills to
perform patent examination work. The
use of automated online systems allows
the USPTO to remain competitive, meet
hiring goals, and fulfill the agency’s
Congressional commitment to reduce
the pendency rate for the examination of
patent applications. The information
supplied by an applicant seeking a
patent examiner position with the
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
USPTO assists the Human Resources
Specialists and hiring managers in
determining whether an applicant
possesses the basic qualification
requirements for the patent examiner
position.
The Monster Hiring Management
(MHM) system is an automated online
system that allows the USPTO to
rapidly review applications for
employment of entry-level patent
examiners. The Office of Human
Resources (OHR) can use the system to
rapidly review applications for
employment and take the necessary
administrative action to support the
hiring process.
The online application creates an
electronic real-time candidate inventory
that allows the USPTO to review
applications from potential applicants
almost instantaneously. Given the
immediate hiring need of the Patent
Examining Corps, time consumed in the
mail distribution system or paper
review of applications delays the
decision-making process by several
weeks. The MHM system results in
increased speed and accuracy in the
employment process, in addition to
streamlining labor and reducing costs.
The use of the MHM online
application fully complies with 5 U.S.C.
§ 2301, which requires adequate public
notice to assure open competition by
guaranteeing that necessary
employment information will be
accessible and available to the public on
inquiry. It is also fully compliant with
Section 508 (29 U.S.C. § 794(d)), which
requires agencies to provide disabled
employees and members of the public
access to information that is comparable
to the access available to others.
II. Method of Collection
With the use of MHM, the application
information is collected electronically
from the applicant. The USAJobs.gov
Web site provides the online job
announcement that links the applicant
to the application and the MHM system.
The application is completed online and
then transmitted to the USPTO via the
Internet.

Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that a
weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for Shin Yang
for the POR.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department will issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in
any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b), the Department will calculate importer-specific assessment
rates for each respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent). If a respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, then the
Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate all appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final
results of this review.
If the weighted-average dumping margin for Shin Yang is not zero or
de minimis in the final results, then the Department will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates. Because Shin Yang did not report
the entered value of its sales, we will calculate importer-specific
per-unit duty assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales of each importer and dividing
each of these amounts by the total quantity (i.e., weight) associated
with those sales. To determine whether the importer-specific per-unit
assessment rates are de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set
forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem rates based on estimated entered values. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to
antidumping duties all entries for which the importer-specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis.
The Department clarified its automatic assessment regulation on May
6, 2003.\8\ This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Shin Yang for which the record

Notifications
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 preliminary reminder to parties
subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the disposition 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, will be requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: June 10, 2014.
