Memorandum. The issues discussed in
the Decision Memorandum include the
likelihood of continuation or recurrence
of dumping and the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail if the Orders
were to be revoked.
Final Results of Sunset Reviews
Pursuant to section 752(c)(3) of the
Act, the Department determines that
revocation of the Orders would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at weighted-average dumping
margins up to 247.65 percent for the
PRC and up to 4.37 percent for Taiwan.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the

information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
Timely 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

review. Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH
reported the name of the importer of
record and the entered value for all of
their sales to the United States during
the POR. If Husteel’s, HYSCO’s, and
SeAH’s weighted-average dumping
margins are not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the
importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is not zero or de minimis. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis,9 or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
The Department’s ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ practice will apply to
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Husteel, HYSCO,
and SeAH for which they did not know
their 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. For a full
discussion of this practice, see
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003).
For Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH, we
intend to issue instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of the final results
of this review.
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 CWP from Korea 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 Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH will
be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margins established in the
final results of this administrative

review; (2) for merchandise exported by

this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of the proceeding,
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 prior review, or the original
investigation but the producer has been
covered in a prior complete segment of
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 4.80 percent, the ‘‘all
others’’ rate established in the order.10
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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.
The Department is issuing and
publishing these results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.

producers on whose behalf the petitions
in these cases were filed (hereafter, the
petitioners) made timely requests,
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.205(e), for a 50-day
postponement of the preliminary
determinations in the investigations.2
The petitioners stated that a
postponement of the preliminary
determinations in all three HWR pipes
and tubes investigations is necessary to
provide the Department with sufficient
time to reach reasoned preliminary
determinations.
Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act,
if a petitioner makes a timely request for
an extension of the period within which
the preliminary determination must be
made under subsection (b)(1), then the
Department may postpone making the
preliminary determination under
subsection (b)(1) until not later than the
190th day after the date on which the
administering authority initiated the
investigation. Therefore, for the reasons
stated above, and because there are no
compelling reasons to deny the
petitioners’ requests, the Department is
postponing the preliminary
determinations in these investigations
until Februrary 16, 2016, which is 190
days from the date on which the
Department initiated these
investigations.
The deadline for the final
determinations will continue to be 75
days after the date of the preliminary
determinations, unless extended.

Background
On May 1,
2015, the Department published a notice
of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on
silicomanganese from India for the
POR.1 Petitioners,2 in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b), filed a request for an
antidumping duty administrative review
of two companies: Nava Bharat Ventures
Limited (Nava) and Universal Ferro and
Allied Chemicals, Ltd. (Universal).3
Subsequently, on July 1, 2015, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of administrative review with
respect to Nava and Universal.4 Nava
filed a letter on July 8, 2015, with the
Department stating that it had no
shipments during the POR.5
Accordingly, the Department sent a no
shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) on July 15,
2015, requesting a response within 10
days if there was any information
indicating that Nava had shipments
during the POR. The Department did
not receive any notification from CBP
that Nava had shipments during the
POR. On August 25, 2015, Petitioners
withdrew their request for an
antidumping duty administrative review
of Nava.6

and telephone number, the number of participants, and a list of the
issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, we will
inform parties of the scheduled date for the hearing which will be held
at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue
NW., Washington, DC 20230, at a time and location to be determined.
Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the

Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department
intends to issue the final results of this administrative review,
including the results of our analysis of the issues raised by the
parties in their case and rebuttal briefs, within 120 days after the
publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
For Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH, upon issuance of the final results,
the Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review. Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH reported the name of
the importer of record and the entered value for all of their sales to
the United States during the POR. If Husteel's, HYSCO's, and SeAH's
weighted-average dumping margins are not zero or de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined
sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is not
zero or de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis,\9\ or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Husteel,
HYSCO, and SeAH for which they did not know their 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. For
a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6,
2003).
For Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH, we intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.
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 CWP from Korea
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 Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of the proceeding, 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
prior review, or the original investigation but the producer has been
covered in a prior complete segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent, the
``all others'' rate established in the order.\10\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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.
The Department is issuing and publishing these results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 1, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
