this review. Pursuant to the
Department’s practice in NME cases, if
we continue to determine in the final
results that TMI and TMM had no
shipments of subject merchandise, any
suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR from these
companies will be liquidated at the
PRC-wide rate.17
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withdrawn from warehouse, for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 for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) For TMI, which claimed no
shipments, the cash deposit rate will
remain unchanged from the rate
assigned to TMI in the most recently
completed review of the company; (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
PRC and non-PRC exporters who are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but who have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate (including TMM, which
claimed no shipments, but has not been
found to be separate from the PRC-wide
entity), the cash deposit rate will be the
PRC-wide rate of 141.49 percent; and (4)
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
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement may result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This notice is issued in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is steel threaded rod.2 Steel threaded
rod is certain threaded rod, bar, or
studs, of carbon quality steel, having a
solid, circular cross section, of any
diameter, in any straight length, that
have been forged, turned, cold-drawn,
cold-rolled, machine straightened, or
otherwise cold-finished, and into which
threaded grooves have been applied.
Certain steel threaded rod subject to the
order is currently classifiable in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) at
subheadings 7318.15.5051,
7318.15.5056, 7318.15.5090, and
7318.15.2095. Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the merchandise is
dispositive.3
Amended Final Results
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), defines
‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors
in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ After analyzing New
Oriental’s comments, we have
determined, in accordance with section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
that we made certain ministerial errors
in the final results with respect to our
calculation of surrogate financial ratios.4
For a detailed discussion of these
ministerial errors, as well as the
Department’s analysis of these errors,
see Ministerial Errors Memo. In
accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are
amending the Final Results of this
administrative review of certain steel
threaded rod from the PRC. The
dumping margins for the period of
review for these amended final results
are as follows:
