Background
On April 20, 2020, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) published its
Final Results of the 2017–2018
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on light-walled
rectangular pipe and tube from Mexico.1
On April 30, 2020, Maquilacero S.A. de
C.V. (Maquilacero), one of the
respondents in this administrative
review, timely submitted comments
alleging a ministerial error in
Commerce’s Final Results.2 Commerce
is issuing this notice to correct the
ministerial error raised by Maquilacero.
Commerce is also issuing this notice
to correct an inadvertent error in the
Final Results related to Hylsa S.A. de
C.V. (Hylsa), a non-examined
respondent in this administrative
review. Specifically, Commerce granted
a non-examined rate to Hylsa as well as
to Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V.
(Ternium); however, Commerce failed to
take into account the completion of a
changed circumstances review on the
antidumping duty order on light-walled
rectangular pipe and tube from Mexico.3
In the changed circumstances review,
Commerce determined that Ternium is
the successor-in-interest to Hylsa.4 As
such, effective August 18, 2009, Hylsa is
entitled to Ternium’s antidumping duty
cash deposit rate with respect to entries
of subject merchandise, and only
Ternium should have been assigned a
non-examined rate in the Final Results.
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

duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which the

Producer and/or exporter
Ministerial Error
Commerce committed an inadvertent,
unintentional error within the meaning
of section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f) with respect to an adjustment
to Maquilacero’s total cost of
manufacturing. Specifically, when
reallocating certain costs for
Maquilacero’s non-prime merchandise
to its prime merchandise, we
inadvertently relied upon a production
quantity that included out-of-scope
merchandise, and therefore overstated
the adjustment to Maquilacero’s total
cost of manufacturing for prime, inscope merchandise. Accordingly,
Commerce determines that, in
accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it made a
ministerial error in the Final Results.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
Commerce is amending the Final
Results to reflect the correction of this
ministerial error in the calculation of
the final weighted-average dumping
margin assigned to Maquilacero, which
changes from 3.12 percent to 2.82
percent.6 Furthermore, we are revising
the review-specific weighted-average
dumping margin applicable to the
companies not selected for individual
examination in this administrative
review, which is based, in part, on
Maquilacero’s weighted-average
dumping margin.
Amended Final Results of the Review
As a result of correcting the
ministerial error and the inadvertent
error described above, Commerce
determines that, for the period of
August 1, 2017 through July 31, 2018,
the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist:

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculation
performed for these amended final
results 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 these
amended final results of the
administrative review. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Maquilacero
reported the entered value of its U.S.
sales such that we calculated importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the examined sales for each importer
to the total entered value of the sales for
each importer for which entered value
was reported. Where an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination, we
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties at an ad valorem assessment rate
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin determined in these amended
final results. The amended final results
of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
E:\FR\FM\27MYN1.SGM
27MYN1
31742
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 102 / Wednesday, May 27, 2020 / Notices
amended final results of this review and
for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.9
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by companies included in these final
results of review for which the reviewed
companies did not know that the
merchandise they 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
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective
retroactively for all shipments of subject
merchandise that entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after April 20, 2020, 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 the companies
listed above will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in these amended final
results of review; (2) for producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, 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
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the producer 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 3.76 percent
established in the amended final
determination of the less-than-fair-value
investigation.11 These cash deposit

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (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 or 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
The 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 16, 2018, Commerce
published its Final Determination in the
LTFV investigation of cold-drawn
mechanical tubing from India.1 In the
Final Determination, Commerce applied
a rate based on adverse facts available
to Goodluck after finding that the
company failed to accurately report
product ‘‘control numbers’’ in its home
market sales and cost of production
databases.2 Although Goodluck
attempted to submit new databases at
the start of verification of Goodluck’s
questionnaire responses, Commerce
declined to accept the revised
information, determining that such a
revision did not constitute a ‘‘minor
correction.’’ 3 On June 11, 2018,
Commerce published its AD order on
cold-drawn mechanical tubing from
India.4
On August 13, 2019, the CIT

Background
On April 20, 2020, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published
its Final Results of the 2017-2018 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from
Mexico.\1\ On April 30, 2020, Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero),
one of the respondents in this administrative review, timely submitted
comments alleging a ministerial error in Commerce's Final Results.\2\
Commerce is issuing this notice to correct the ministerial error raised
by Maquilacero.

and Tube from Mexico; Maquilacero S.A. de C.V.'s Ministerial Error
Comments for the Final Results,'' dated April 30, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce is also issuing this notice to correct an inadvertent
error in the Final Results related to Hylsa S.A. de C.V. (Hylsa), a
non-examined respondent in this administrative review. Specifically,
Commerce granted a non-examined rate to Hylsa as well as to Ternium
Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Ternium); however, Commerce failed to take into
account the completion of a changed circumstances review on the
antidumping duty order on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from
Mexico.\3\ In the changed circumstances review, Commerce determined
that Ternium is the successor-in-interest to Hylsa.\4\ As such,
effective August 18, 2009, Hylsa is entitled to Ternium's antidumping
duty cash deposit rate with respect to entries of subject merchandise,
and only Ternium should have been assigned a non-examined rate in the
Final Results.

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.'' \5\ 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. . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Error
Commerce committed an inadvertent, unintentional error within the
meaning of section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) with respect
to an adjustment to Maquilacero's total cost of manufacturing.
Specifically, when reallocating certain costs for Maquilacero's non-
prime merchandise to its prime merchandise, we inadvertently relied
upon a production quantity that included out-of-scope merchandise, and
therefore overstated the adjustment to Maquilacero's total cost of
manufacturing for prime, in-scope merchandise. Accordingly, Commerce
determines that, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.224(f), it made a ministerial error in the Final Results.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the Final Results
to reflect the correction of this ministerial error in the calculation
of the final weighted-average dumping margin assigned to Maquilacero,
which changes from 3.12 percent to 2.82 percent.\6\ Furthermore, we are
revising the review-specific weighted-average dumping margin applicable
to the companies not selected for individual examination in this
administrative review, which is based, in part, on Maquilacero's
weighted-average dumping margin.

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculation performed for these amended
final results 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 these amended final
results of the administrative review. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Maquilacero reported the entered value of its U.S. sales
such that we calculated importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales for each importer to the total
entered value of the sales for each importer for which entered value
was reported. Where an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), Commerce will instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
For the companies which were not selected for individual
examination, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at an ad
valorem assessment rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
determined in these amended final results. The amended final results of
this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties
on entries of merchandise covered by the
[[Page 31742]]
amended final results of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in
these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not
know that the merchandise they 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective
retroactively for all shipments of subject merchandise that entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 20, 2020,
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 the companies listed above will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established in these amended final
results of review; (2) for producers or exporters not covered in this
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, 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 producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4)
if neither the exporter nor the producer 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 3.76 percent established in
the amended final determination of 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 also 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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (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 or 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
The 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).
Dated: May 20, 2020.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
