entered values, the Department intends
to calculate importer- (or customer)specific ad valorem rates by aggregating
the dumping margins calculated for all
U.S. sales to the importer- (or customer)
and dividing this amount by the total
entered value of the sales to the
importer- (or customer).21 Where the
Department calculates an importer- (or
customer)-specific weighted-average
dumping margin by dividing the total
amount of dumping for reviewed sales
to the importer- (or customer) by the
total sales quantity associated with
those transactions, the Department will
direct CBP to assess importer- (or
customer)-specific assessment rates
based on the resulting per-unit rates.22
Where an importer- (or customer)specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is
greater than de minimis, the Department
will instruct CBP to collect the
appropriate duties at the time of
liquidation. Where either the
respondent’s weighted average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer (or customer-) specific ad
valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de
minimis, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.23
On October 24, 2011, the Department
announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in NME
antidumping duty cases.24 Pursuant to
this refinement in practice, for entries
that were not reported in the U.S. sales
database submitted by an exporter
individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
PRC-wide rate. Additionally, pursuant
to this refinement, if the Department
determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under that exporter’s case
number will be liquidated at the PRCwide rate.
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results
of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department will instruct CBP to
require a cash deposit equal to the
weighted-average amount by which the

following cash deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results of this administrative
review for shipments of the subject
merchandise from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the exporters listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, then the cash deposit rate will
be zero for that exporter); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
been found to be entitled to a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate for the PRC-wide entity and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise that have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
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 POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Department’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
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.

(‘‘POR’’) April 1, 2013, through March
31, 2014. This review covers one PRC
company, Overseas Industrial
Corporation (‘‘OIC’’).1 The Department
preliminarily finds that OIC is part of
the PRC-wide entity. Interested parties
are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

Memorandum’’).
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section

Pursuant to the Department’s change in practice,
the Department no longer considers the non-market
economy entity as an exporter conditionally subject
to administrative reviews. See Antidumping
Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in
Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional
Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME
Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963,
65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the
non-market economy entity will not be under
review unless a party specifically requests, or the
Department self-initiates, a review of the entity.
Because no party requested a review of the entity,
the entity is not under review and the entity’s rate
is not subject to change.

review.6 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. The
Department intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of subject merchandise
from Overseas Industrial Corporation at
75.50 percent (the rate previously
determined for the PRC-wide entity).
The Department announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in
NME antidumping duty cases. Pursuant
to this refinement in practice, for
merchandise that was not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, but that entered under the
case number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter’s cash
deposit rate), the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. Additionally,
pursuant to this refinement, if the
Department determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.7
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
which are not under review in this
segment of the proceeding but which
have separate rates, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the exporter-specific
rate published for the most recent
period; (2) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
including Overseas Industrial
Corporation, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 75.50 percent;
and (3) 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(s) that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on non-malleable
cast iron pipe fittings (``NMPF'') from the People's Republic of China
(``PRC'') for the period of review (``POR'') April 1, 2013, through
March 31, 2014. This review covers one PRC company, Overseas Industrial
Corporation (``OIC'').\1\ The Department preliminarily finds that OIC
is part of the PRC-wide entity. Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are finished and unfinished non-
malleable cast iron pipe fittings with an inside diameter ranging from
1/4 inch to 6 inches, whether threaded or unthreaded, regardless of
industry or proprietary specifications. For a full description of the
scope of the order, see Preliminary Results Decision

Memorandum from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations to Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, dated concurrently
with these results and hereby adopted by this notice (``Preliminary
Decision Memorandum'').
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). For a
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The list of topics discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is provided as an Appendix to the
notice. This memorandum is a public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System
(``ACCESS'').\2\ ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the
Internet at https://www.trade.gov/enforcement/. The signed Preliminary
Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

\2\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the
name of Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS'') to AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). The Web site location was
changed from https://iaaccess.trade.gov to https://access.trade.gov.
The Final Rule changing the references to the Regulations can be
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
Because OIC has not demonstrated its eligibility for a separate
rate, we preliminarily find it to be part of the PRC-wide entity \3\
and subject for the rate previously established for the PRC-wide
entity, i.e., 75.50 percent.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Pursuant to the
Department's change in practice, the Department no longer considers
the non-market economy entity as an exporter conditionally subject
to administrative reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement
of Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in
Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket
Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963,
65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the non-market
economy entity will not be under review unless a party specifically
requests, or the Department self-initiates, a review of the entity.
Because no party requested a review of the entity, the entity is not
under review and the entity's rate is not subject to change.

U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington
DC 20230. The Department intends to 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.

\5\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\6\ The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this
review. The Department intends to instruct CBP to liquidate entries of
subject merchandise from Overseas Industrial Corporation at 75.50
percent (the rate previously determined for the PRC-wide entity).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in
NME antidumping duty cases. Pursuant to this refinement in practice,
for merchandise that was not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, but
that entered under the case number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter's cash deposit rate), the Department
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate.
Additionally, pursuant to this refinement, if the Department determines
that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's
case number will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\7\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full
discussion of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC
exporters which are not under review in this segment of the proceeding
but which have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to
be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (2)
for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, including Overseas Industrial
Corporation, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 75.50
percent; and (3) 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(s) that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
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.
Dated: December 30, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
