exported by Euro SME and imported
into the United States during the POR.5
This query returned no entries during
the POR.6 Further, the Department
transmitted a ‘‘no-shipments’’ inquiry to
CBP requesting that it provide any
information to the contrary, should such
information exist.7 On November 7,
2016, the Department was notified by
CBP that there were no shipments of
PRCBs from Malaysia during the POR.8
Consistent with our practice, we
preliminarily determine that Euro SME
had no shipments and, therefore, no
reviewable entries during the POR. In
addition, we find it is not appropriate to
rescind the review with respect to Euro
SME but, rather, to complete the review
and issue appropriate instructions to
CBP based on the final results of the
review, consistent with our practice.9

The Department intends to issue the

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.15 In accordance with the
Department’s practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR for
which Euro SME did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.16 We intend to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the publication date of the final
results of this review.
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withdrawn from warehouse, for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 Euro SME, which
claimed no shipments, the cash deposit
rate will remain unchanged from the
rate assigned to Euro SME in the most
recently completed review of the
company; (2) for previously investigated
or reviewed companies not listed above,
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 less-thanfair-value investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further

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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Pacific Pipe timely filed a ‘‘no
shipment’’ certification stating that it
had no entries of subject merchandise
during the POR.2 Consistent with its
practice, the Department asked CBP to
conduct a query of potential shipments
made by Pacific Pipe. Based on the
certification of Pacific Pipe and the fact
that CBP has not provided any
contradictory information, we
preliminarily determine that Pacific
Pipe had no shipments during the POR.
However, the Department finds that it is
not appropriate to rescind the review
with respect to Pacific Pipe, but rather
to complete the review with respect to
Pacific Pipe and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review.3

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, the Department shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If a respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for an importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of such sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\4\ This clarification applies
[[Page 16795]]
to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by a
respondent for which it did not know its 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.

and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment Policy Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review (except, if that rate
is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above in the
Preliminary Results of Review, including those for which the Department
may determine had no shipments during the POR, 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 or another completed segment of this
proceeding, but the manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit
rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 15.67 percent established in
the less-than-fair-value investigation.\5\ These 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: March 31, 2017.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
