on small diameter graphite electrodes
from China for the period February 1,
2018, through January 31, 2019, with
respect to the 198 companies for which
all review requests were withdrawn.
The review will continue with respect
to the remaining company, Fushun Jinly
Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. (aka
Fushun Jinli Petrochemical Carbon Co.,
Ltd.).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. For the companies for which
this review is rescinded, antidumping
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to
the cash deposit 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). Commerce intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this 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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is amending the final
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on welded
line pipe (WLP) from the Republic of
Korea (Korea) to correct two ministerial
errors. Correction of these errors results
in revised margins for SeAH Steel
Corporation (SeAH) and the companies
not selected for individual examination.
The amended final dumping margins
are listed below in the section entitled,
‘‘Amended Final Results of the
Review.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 14, 2019, Commerce
published the Final Results of the 2016–
2017 administrative review of WLP from
Korea in the Federal Register.1
Subsequently, on June 17, 2019, SeAH
and NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. (NEXTEEL), the
two companies selected for individual
examination in this administrative
review, submitted comments alleging
ministerial errors in Commerce’s Final
Results.2
Legal Framework
A ministerial error, as defined in
section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), includes ‘‘errors

Korea: Final Results of Antidumping Duty

the Antidumping Order on Welded Line Pipe from
Korea—Comments on Ministerial Errors in Final

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.’’ 3 With respect to final
results of administrative reviews, 19
CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce
‘‘will analyze any comments received
and, if appropriate, correct any
ministerial error by amending . . . the
final results of review. . . .’’
Ministerial Errors
Commerce made two inadvertent
errors within the meaning of section
735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f)
with respect to the application of the
particular market situation (PMS)
adjustment rate to SeAH’s hot-rolled
coil (HRC) costs, and the application of
general and administrative (G&A) and
financial expenses to SeAH’s further
manufactured sales. Specifically, we
determine that we erred: (1) In applying
the PMS adjustment rate without
adjusting it to account for the
percentage of HRC consumed relative to
the total raw materials; and (2) in
double counting the G&A and financial
expenses for further manufactured sales.
Accordingly, we determine, in
accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that we
made unintentional ministerial errors in
the Final Results. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e), Commerce is amending the
Final Results to reflect the correction of
these errors. In addition, we determine
that NEXTEEL’s alleged ministerial
errors reflect our intended methodology
and, thus, are not ministerial errors.
Moreover, because the review-specific
average rate applicable to companies in
this administrative review not selected
for individual examination was based,
in part, on SeAH’s weighted-average
dumping margin, we are revising the
review-specific average rate. For a
detailed discussion of the ministerial
error allegations, as well as Commerce’s
analysis, see Ministerial Error
Memorandum.4
Amended Final Results of the Review
As a result of correcting the
ministerial errors described above, we
determine that the weighted-average
dumping margins for the firms listed
below exist for the period December 1,
2016 through November 30, 2017:

shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
amended final results of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
NEXTEEL reported the entered value of
its U.S. sales such that we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the sales for which
entered value was reported. SeAH did
not report actual entered value for all of
its U.S. sales such that we calculated
entered value and determined the
importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates as described above for
NEXTEEL. Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate based on the
average 6 of the cash deposit rates
calculated for NEXTEEL and SeAH. The
amended final results of this review
shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the amended
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.7
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these amended final
results of this administrative review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective
retroactively for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after June 14, 2019,
the date of publication date of the Final
Results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for each
specific company listed above will be
that established in the amended final
results, except if the rate is less than
0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies, including those for which
Commerce may have determined had no
shipments during the period of review,
rate was calculated as discussed in the
footnote above.

the cash deposit will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this or an earlier review,
or the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, 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 4.38 percent
established in the LTFV investigation.8
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 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 doubled antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
These amended final results and
notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(h) and
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

Welded Line Pipe From the Republic of Korea: Amended Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016-2017

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is amending the final
results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
welded line pipe (WLP) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) to correct
two ministerial errors. Correction of these errors results in revised
margins for SeAH Steel Corporation (SeAH) and the companies not
selected for individual examination. The amended final dumping margins
are listed below in the section entitled, ``Amended Final Results of
the Review.''
DATES: Applicable July 23, 2019.

On June 14, 2019, Commerce published the Final Results of the 2016-
2017 administrative review of WLP from Korea in the Federal
Register.\1\ Subsequently, on June 17, 2019, SeAH and NEXTEEL Co., Ltd.

Memorandum.

See also NEXTEEL's Letter, ``Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of
Korea: Ministerial Error Comments,'' dated June 17, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), includes ``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.'' \3\ With respect to final results of administrative
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any ministerial error by
amending . . . the final results of review. . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Errors
Commerce made two inadvertent errors within the meaning of section
735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) with respect to the application
of the particular market situation (PMS) adjustment rate to SeAH's hot-
rolled coil (HRC) costs, and the application of general and
administrative (G&A) and financial expenses to SeAH's further
manufactured sales. Specifically, we determine that we erred: (1) In
applying the PMS adjustment rate without adjusting it to account for
the percentage of HRC consumed relative to the total raw materials; and
(2) in double counting the G&A and financial expenses for further
manufactured sales. Accordingly, we determine, in accordance with
section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that we made
unintentional ministerial errors in the Final Results. Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the Final Results to reflect the
correction of these errors. In addition, we determine that NEXTEEL's
alleged ministerial errors reflect our intended methodology and, thus,
are not ministerial errors. Moreover, because the review-specific
average rate applicable to companies in this administrative review not
selected for individual examination was based, in part, on SeAH's
weighted-average dumping margin, we are revising the review-specific
average rate. For a detailed discussion of the ministerial error
allegations, as well as Commerce's analysis, see Ministerial Error
Memorandum.\4\

Allegations,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this
notice (Ministerial Error Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amended Final Results of the Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial errors described above,
we determine that the weighted-average dumping margins for the firms
listed below exist for the period December 1, 2016 through November 30,

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these amended
final results within five days of the date of publication of this
notice to parties in this proceeding, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Antidumping Duty Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final
results of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), NEXTEEL reported the entered
value of its U.S. sales such that we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales for which entered value was reported. SeAH did not report
actual entered value for all of its U.S. sales such that we calculated
entered value and determined the importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates as described above for NEXTEEL. Where either the
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will assign an assessment rate based on the average \6\ of the cash
deposit rates calculated for NEXTEEL and SeAH. The amended final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the amended
final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ This rate was calculated as discussed in the footnote above.
\7\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these amended final results of this administrative
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective
retroactively for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 14, 2019,
the date of publication date of the Final Results of this
administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) The cash deposit rate for each specific company listed above will
be that established in the amended final results, except if the rate is
less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero;
(2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies, including those
for which Commerce may have determined had no shipments during the
period of review, the cash deposit will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the company participated; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this or an earlier review, or the original less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, 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
4.38 percent established in the LTFV investigation.\8\ 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 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
These amended final results and notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e).
