notice. The issues discussed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum are
the likelihood of continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and the
magnitude of the margin of dumping
likely to prevail if this Order were
revoked. The Issues and 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. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the internet at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed
Issues and Decision Memorandum and
the electronic version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Final Results of Review
We determine that revocation of the
Order on OCTG from Ukraine would be
likely to lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping at a weighted
average margin of dumping of 7.47
percent for all exporters and producers
of subject merchandise.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to each party subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
Timely written notification of the return
or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation which is subject to
sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing the
final results of this sunset review, in
accordance with sections 751(c)(5)(A),
752(c), and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
