SUMMARY: On July 12, 2016, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of

(NSSMC), Nippon Steel Corporation
(NSC), and Sumitomo Metal Industries,
Ltd. (SMI).

Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results, the Department received a
claim of no shipments from NKK. In the Preliminary Results, the
Department preliminarily found that NKK did not have reviewable entries
during the POR. Additionally, the Department stated in the Preliminary
Results that it was not appropriate to rescind the review with
[[Page 80641]]
respect to NKK at that time, but rather complete the review with
respect to NKK and issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) based on the final results.
After issuing the Preliminary Results, the Department received no
comments from interested parties, and has not received any information
that would cause it to alter its preliminary determination. Therefore,
for these final results, the Department continues to find that NKK did
not have any reviewable entries during the POR.
Final Results of Review
Because the Department received no comments after the Preliminary
Results for consideration for these final results, we have made no
changes to the Preliminary Results. As a result of this review, we
determine that dumping margins on certain small diameter carbon and
alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe (under 4\1/2\ inches)
from Japan exist for the period June 1, 2014, through May 31, 2015, at
the following rates:

Assessment
The Department has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance
with the final results of this review.\3\ The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of review. We will instruct CBP to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 106.07 percent to all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or exported
by NSSMC, and an ad valorem assessment rate of 106.07 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/
or exported by the companies that were not selected for individual
examination: JFE, NSC, and SMI.\4\ Additionally, because the Department
determined that NKK had no shipments of subject merchandise during the
POR, any suspended entries that entered under NKK's AD case number
(i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the all-others
rate effective during the period of review if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\5\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for

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 rates for the reviewed companies will be the rates
established in the final results of this review; (2) for merchandise
exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 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 less-than-
fair-value 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 merchandise; (4) if neither
the exporter nor the manufacturer has its own rate, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be 70.43 percent, the all-others rate established
in the order.\6\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain
in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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

assessment of double antidumping duties.
