on the Preliminary Results.
From December 15 through 19, 2014,
we conducted a verification of the cost
data reported by Golden Dragon.
On January 29, 2015, we received case

and the petitioners.
On March 23, 2015, we postponed the
final results by 60 days, until June 8,

The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order 5
is seamless refined copper pipe and
tube. The product is currently classified
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 7407.10.1500,
7419.99.5050, 8415.90.8065, and
8415.90.8085. Although the HTSUS
numbers are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
product description, available in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum,6
remains dispositive.
Based on the comments received from
interested parties regarding our
Preliminary Results, we revised our
preliminary margin calculations for
Golden Dragon. These changes are listed
in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. We made no changes to
the calculation of Nacobre’s weightedaverage dumping margin in these final
results.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by Golden Dragon and the
petitioners are listed in the Appendix to
this notice and addressed in the Issues

Each of the 10 requirements described
in the Roadmap comes with a set of
Priority Action Plans (PAPs) that are
self-tasking for the cloud computing
community. Therefore, the NCCP is
sponsoring a call for papers that address
the Requirements and PAPs found in
the Roadmap and welcomes relevant
submissions for a talk approximately
15–20 minutes long. Authors of
accepted abstracts will be invited to
present their work. Additional
information may be found at: https://

(NIST IR 8006, draft). There will also be
sessions dedicated to deployments of
cloud computing in the government
sector (Federal, State, Local) and on
Cloud Computing Standards.
