Ministerial Errors
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), defines
‘‘ministerial errors’’ 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.’’ 4 After analyzing the
parties’ comments, we have determined,
in accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that
ministerial errors were made in our
calculation of Saha Thai’s margin for the
Final Results. For a detailed discussion
of these ministerial errors, as well as
Commerce’s analysis of these errors, see
the Ministerial Error Memorandum.5
In accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are
amending the Final Results.6 The
revised weighted-average dumping
margin is detailed below.
Amended Final Results
As a result of correcting for these
ministerial errors, we determine the
following margin exists for the period
March 1, 2015, through February 29,
2016:

base the assessment rate for the
corresponding entries on the margin

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective
retroactively for all shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the October 10, 2017, 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 Saha Thai
Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd. will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in these amended
final results of review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies,
including those for which Commerce
may have determined they 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.7 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 of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
