that apply to API specification 5L steel
line pipe with steel weld-on high
pressure wellhead housings and pin or
box connectors, and to API specification
5L steel line pipe with steel weld-on
low pressure wellhead housings and pin
or box connectors (2.9%). Offshore
Energy would be able to avoid duty on
foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad include steel weld-on pin
and box threaded connectors, steel
weld-on high pressure wellhead
housings, and steel weld-on low
pressure wellhead housings, for use in
oil and gas drilling operations (duty rate
ranges from duty-free to 2.9%). The
request indicates that certain materials/
components are subject to special duties
under Section 301 of the Trade Act of
1974 (Section 301), depending on the
country of origin. The applicable
Section 301 decisions require subject
merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR
146.41).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is April

A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the

five days of the date of publication of
this notice to parties in this proceeding,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates
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 Protections (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. We will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates 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).
Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by each
respondent for which it did not know
that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) 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.10
We intend to issue liquidation
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 the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for the respondents
noted above will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
companies not covered in this review
but covered in a prior segment of this

proceeding, 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
review or the original investigation, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recently completed segment for the
producer of the subject merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 2.66 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.11 These cash 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 Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to 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
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
