bolted fittings, and fittings made from
any material other than stainless steel.
The butt-weld fittings subject to the
order is currently classifiable under
subheading 7307.23.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.2
Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised by Filmag in its case
brief are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. A list of these
issues is attached to this notice as an
Appendix. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on-file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
on the Internet at https://access.trade.gov
and in the Central Records Unit, Room
B8024 of the main Department of
Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/
frn/. The signed Issues and
Decision Memorandum and the
electronic version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
one of Filmag’s comments, we made
changes to its margin calculations for
the final results of review. Specifically,
we revised the gross unit price for
Filmag’s reported U.S. sales to include
movement expenses incurred on its
sales and which are deducted as part of
the adjustments we make to calculate
export price.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, the
Department determines the weightedaverage dumping margin for the period
February 1, 2014, through January 31,
2015, is as follows:

Disclosure
We will disclose the calculation
memorandum used in our analysis to
interested parties within five days of the
date of the publication of these final
results pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries.3 Because
Filmag’s weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis, we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final
results of this administrative review, if
any importer-specific assessment rates
calculated in the final results are above
de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.5 percent),
the Department will issue instructions
directly to CBP to assess antidumping
duties on appropriate entries.
To determine whether the duty
assessment rate covering the period was
de minimis for Filmag, in accordance
with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated an
importer-specific, ad valorem rate by
aggregating the amount of dumping
calculated for all U.S. sales to that
importer and dividing this amount by
the total entered value of the sales to
that importer. Where an importerspecific ad valorem rate is greater than
de minimis, and the respondent has
reported reliable entered values, we
apply the assessment rate to the entered
value of the importer’s entries during
the review period.
We intend to issue assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of
this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of this notice for all
shipments of subject merchandise

cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the manufacturer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 26.59
percent, the all-others rate established
in the antidumping investigation.4
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised by Filmag in its case brief are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of these issues is attached to
this notice as an Appendix. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a

reported U.S. sales to include movement expenses incurred on its sales
and which are deducted as part of the adjustments we make to calculate

As a result of this review, the Department determines the weighted-
average dumping margin for the period February 1, 2014, through January
31, 2015, is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculation memorandum used in our analysis to
interested parties within five days of the date of the publication of
these final results pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.\3\ Because Filmag's weighted-average dumping margin is above
de minimis, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the
final results of this administrative review, if any importer-specific
assessment rates calculated in the final results are above de minimis
(i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), the Department will issue instructions
directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ In these final results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To determine whether the duty assessment rate covering the period
was de minimis for Filmag, in accordance with the requirement set forth
in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we calculated an importer-specific, ad valorem
rate by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all U.S. sales
to that importer and dividing this amount by the total entered value of
the sales to that importer. Where an importer-specific ad valorem rate
is greater than de minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable
entered values, we apply the assessment rate to the entered value of
the importer's entries during the review period.
We intend to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise
[[Page 43588]]
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondent noted above will
be the rate established in the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not
covered in this administrative review but covered in a prior segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of
the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 26.59 percent, the all-
others rate established in the antidumping investigation.\4\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
