Scope of the Order Imports covered by the order are shipments of certain non-egg dry pasta in packages of five pounds four ounces or less, whether or not enriched or fortified or containing milk or other optional ingredients such as chopped vegetables, vegetable purees, milk, gluten, diastasis, vitamins, coloring and flavorings, and up to two percent egg white. Excluded from the scope of the order are refrigerated, frozen, or canned pastas, as well as all forms of egg pasta, with the exception of non-egg dry pasta containing up to two percent egg white. Also excluded are imports of organic pasta from Italy that are certified by a European Union (‘‘EU’’) authorized body and accompanied by a National Organic Program import certificate for organic products.8 Pursuant to the Department’s May 12, 2011, changed circumstances review, effective January 1, 2009, gluten-free pasta is also excluded from the scope of the countervailing duty order.9 The merchandise subject to the order is currently classifiable under items 1901.90.90.95 and 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to the order is dispositive. Initiation of Changed Circumstances Review Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Act, the Department will conduct a changed circumstances review upon receipt of information concerning, or a 7 Id., at 1, 13–14. October 10, 2012, the Department revised the ‘‘Scope of the Order’’ to recognize the EUauthorized Italian agents for purposes of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on pasta from Italy. See Memorandum from Yasmin Nair to Susan Kuhbach, titled ‘‘Recognition of EU Organic Certifying Agents for Certifying Organic Pasta from Italy,’’ dated October 10, 2012, which is on file in the Department’s Central Records Unit. 9 See Certain Pasta From Italy: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Review and Revocation, In Part, 76 FR 27634 (May 12, 2011). request from, an interested party for a review of an antidumping duty order which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review of the order. In the event that the Department determines that expedited action is warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii) permits the Department to combine the notices of initiation and preliminary results. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(d), the Department determined that the information submitted by La Molisana constitutes sufficient evidence to conduct a changed circumstances review. In an antidumping duty changed circumstances review involving a successor-in-interest determination, the Department typically examines several factors including, but not limited to, changes in: (1) Management; (2) production facilities; (3) supplier relationships; and (4) customer base.10 While no single factor or combination of factors will necessarily be dispositive, the Department generally will consider the new company to be the successor to the predecessor if the resulting operations are essentially the same as those of the predecessor company.11 Thus, if the record demonstrates that, with respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, the new company operates as the same business entity as the predecessor company, the Department may assign the new company the cash deposit rate of its predecessor.12 Based on the information provided in its submission, La Molisana provided sufficient evidence to warrant a review to determine if it is the successor-ininterest to La Molisana Industrie. Therefore, pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), we are initiating a changed circumstances review. However, information provided in the submissions, while sufficient for purposes of initiating this review, requires further clarification and/or supplementation before the successorin-interest determination is reached. Accordingly, the Department intends to issue a questionnaire requesting additional information for the review, as provided for by 19 CFR 351.221(b)(2). For that reason, the Department finds emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES 8 On VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:45 Aug 11, 2014 Jkt 232001 10 See, e.g., Certain Activated Carbon From the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Initiation of Changed Circumstances Review, 74 FR 19934, 19935 (April 30, 2009). 11 See, e.g., Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review: Certain Forged Stainless Steel Flanges from India, 71 FR 327 (January 4, 2006). 12 See, e.g., Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon From Norway; Final Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 64 FR 9979, 9980 (March 1, 1999).

The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the amended final results of this review. For assessment purposes, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates for merchandise subject to this review. We will continue to direct CBP to assess importer-specific assessment rates based on the resulting per-unit (i.e., per-kg) rates for each entry of the subject merchandise during the POR. Specifically, we calculated importerspecific duty assessment rates on a perunit rate basis by dividing the total amount of dumping for each importer by the total sales quantity of subject merchandise sold to that importer during the POR. We also estimated each importer’s ad valorem assessment rate by dividing the total amount of dumping for each importer by the total estimated entered value of those same sales. If an estimated importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate that importer entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements are effective as of April 28, 2014, the date of publication of the Final Results, for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters identified above, the cash deposit rate will be equal to their weighted-average dumping margin in these amended final results of review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a separate rate in a previously completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled a separate rate in the Final Results, the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 60.85 percent); and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that nonPRC exporter.

Reimbursement of Duties 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 duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Orders This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.

Scope of the Order

    For a full description of the products covered by the antidumping 
duty order, see Memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, through Gary Taverman, Senior Advisor for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, from Abdelali

Review: Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube from the People's 
Republic of China; 2011-2012: Ministerial Error Allegation 
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice 
(``Ministerial Error Memo'').

Ministerial Errors

    Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
and 19 CFR 351.224(f) define a ``ministerial error'' as an error ``in 
addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error 
resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any 
similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers 
ministerial.'' After analyzing the ministerial error comments and 
rebuttal comments, we have determined, in accordance with section 
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made the following 
ministerial error in our calculations for the Final Results: we 
inadvertently did not cap Golden Dragon's reported freight distances 
for factors of production valued using import statistics pursuant to 
the rule in Sigma.\7\ For a detailed discussion of this error, as well 
as the Department's analysis, see Ministerial Error Memo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Sigma Corp. v. United States, 117 F.3d 1401, 1407-08 
(Fed. Cir. 1997) (``Sigma'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 
we are amending the Final Results for Golden Dragon. The revised 
weighted-average dumping margin for Golden Dragon is detailed below.

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed for these amended final 
results to interested parties within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final results of 
this review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to 
CBP 15 days after the publication date of the amended final results of 
this review.
    For assessment purposes, we calculated importer-specific assessment 
rates for merchandise subject to this review. We will continue to 
direct CBP to assess importer-specific assessment rates based on the 
resulting per-unit (i.e., per-kg) rates for each entry of the subject 
merchandise during the POR. Specifically, we calculated importer-
specific duty assessment rates on a per-unit rate basis by dividing the 
total amount of dumping for each importer by the total sales quantity 
of subject merchandise sold to that importer during the POR. We also 
estimated each importer's ad valorem assessment rate by dividing the 
total amount of dumping for each importer by the total estimated 
entered value of those same sales. If an estimated importer-specific ad 
valorem assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), 
the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate that importer entries of 
subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).

    The following cash deposit requirements are effective as of April 
28, 2014, the date of publication of the Final Results, for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) For the exporters identified above, the cash deposit rate 
will be equal to their weighted-average dumping margin in these amended 
final results of review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed 
PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a separate 
rate in a previously completed segment of this proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate 
published for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled a separate 
rate in the Final Results, the cash deposit rate will be that for the 
PRC-wide entity (i.e., 60.85 percent); and (4) for all non-PRC

requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Reimbursement of Duties

    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 duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    These amended final results are published in accordance with 
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 6, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
