a cash deposit for such entries of
merchandise equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin or
the estimated all-others rate, as follows:
(1) The rate for the exporters listed in
the chart above will be the rate we have
determined in this final determination;
(2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash-deposit rate will
be the China-wide rate; and (3) for all
non-Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash-deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the Chinese
exporter/producer combination that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
These suspension-of-liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until
further notice. Additionally, Commerce
is making no adjustments for export
subsidies to the antidumping cash
deposit rate in this investigation
because we have made no findings in
the companion countervailing duty
investigation that any of the programs
are export subsidies.
Disclosure
The estimated weighted-average
dumping margin assigned to the Chinawide entity in this investigation is based
on AFA. As the margin is based on the
rate calculated in the Petition, and
because we made no changes to this
margin since the Preliminary
Determination, there are no calculations
to disclose for this final determination.
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the International
Trade Commission (ITC) of the final
affirmative determination of sales at
LTFV. Because Commerce’s final
determination is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports or
sales (or the likelihood of sales) for
importation of large diameter welded
pipe, no later than 45 days after this
final determination. If the ITC
determines that such injury does not
exist, this proceeding will be
terminated, and all cash deposits posted
will be refunded. If the ITC determines
that such injury does exist, Commerce
will issue an antidumping duty order
directing CBP to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties on all imports of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the effective date of the suspension

‘‘Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation’’ section.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice will serve as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of propriety information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return or
destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,

beveling, cutting, punching, welding, or any
other processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope of
the investigation if performed in the country

The large diameter welded pipe that is
subject to this investigation is currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under
subheadings 7305.11.1030, 7305.11.1060,

BlueScope Steel Ltd., BlueScope Steel (AIS) Pty
Ltd., and BlueScope Steel Distribution Pty Ltd.
(collectively, BlueScope) are a single entity and,
because there were no changes to the facts which
supported that decision since that determination
was made, we continue to find that these
companies are a single entity for this administrative

could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
The preliminary results of review are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines
that sales of certain hot-rolled steel flat products from Australia
were made at less than normal value during the period of review (POR),
March 22, 2016, through September 30, 2017. We invite interested

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 7, 2017, Commerce initiated the antidumping duty
administrative review on certain hot-rolled steel flat products from
Australia.\1\ This review covers one producer/exporter of the subject
merchandise, the collapsed entity BlueScope Steel Ltd., BlueScope Steel
(AIS) Pty Ltd., and BlueScope Steel Distribution Pty Ltd.
(collectively,
[[Page 56818]]
BlueScope).\2\ For a detailed description of the events that followed
the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum,
dated concurrently with these preliminary results and hereby adopted by
this notice.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 57705 (December 7, 2017).
\2\ In the investigation, Commerce found that BlueScope Steel
Ltd., BlueScope Steel (AIS) Pty Ltd., and BlueScope Steel
Distribution Pty Ltd. (collectively, BlueScope) are a single entity
and, because there were no changes to the facts which supported that
decision since that determination was made, we continue to find that
these companies are a single entity for this administrative review.
See Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products from Australia: Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 81 FR 53406, 53407

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Hot-
Rolled Steel Flat Products from Australia; 2016-2017,'' dated
concurrently with this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this review is certain hot-rolled steel flat
products from Australia. For a full description of the scope, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) and (a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). For a full description of the methodology underlying our
administrative review preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. A list of the topics included in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
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

building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the
electronic version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical
in content.
Adverse Facts Available
Because mandatory respondent BlueScope has failed to provide
requested information and has failed to cooperate by not acting to the
best of its ability to comply with the requests for information from
Commerce in this review, we preliminarily determine to apply facts
otherwise available with an adverse inference (AFA) to this respondent,
in accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.308. For a complete explanation of the analysis underlying the
preliminary application of AFA, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine that, for the period of March 22, 2016,
through September 30, 2017, the following dumping margin exists:

Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the preliminary results within five days
of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,

individually examined company in this administrative review, in
accordance with section 776 of the Act, there are no calculations to
disclose.
Interested parties may submit case briefs to Commerce no later than
30 days after the date of publication of this notice.\4\ Rebuttal

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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
The preliminary results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: November 1, 2018.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for
