Background
On September 8, 2016, the
Department published a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain oil country tubular goods
(OCTG) from Taiwan for the period of
review (POR) September 1, 2015,
through August 31, 2016.1
On September 27, 2016, Tension Steel
Industries Co., Ltd. (Tension Steel),
requested an administrative review of
the order with respect to its entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.2
On November 9, 2016, in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review of the order on
OCTG from Taiwan with respect to

to Request Administrative Review, 81 FR 62096

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, ‘‘in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review.’’
Tension Steel withdrew its request for
review within the 90-day time limit.
Because we received no other requests
for an administrative review of Tension
Steel and no other requests for
administrative review of the order on
OCTG from Taiwan with respect to
other companies subject to the order, we
are rescinding the administrative review
of the order in full, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of OCTG from
Taiwan during the POR at rates equal to
the cash deposit rate of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,
for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

Assessment Rates
If Villares’ weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis in the final
results of this review, we will calculate
an importer-specific assessment rate on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for
each importer’s examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
If Villares’ weighted-average dumping
margin continues to be zero or de
minimis in the final results of review,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) not to assess
duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.5
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Villares for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate

this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed
export price and export price are calculated in accordance with section

our conclusions, see Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the
public via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and to all
parties in the Department's Central Records Unit, located at room B8024
of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be found at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. A list of the topics discussed in
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an Appendix to this
notice.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that a
weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for Villares for
the period February 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016.
Disclosure and Public Comment
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after public announcement of the
preliminary results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case briefs not later
than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Rebuttal
briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not
later than five days after the date for filing case briefs.\2\ Parties
who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are
encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue;
(2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\3\

Assessment Rates
If Villares' weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If Villares' weighted-average dumping margin continues
to be zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not to assess duties
on any of its entries in accordance with the Final Modification for
Reviews.\5\

For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Villares for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the
United States, 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. We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of
this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of SSB from Brazil 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 Villares
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 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 recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the producer is, 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 19.43 percent, the all-others rate

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.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.
