SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On April 2, 2020, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on carbon steel
butt-weld pipe fittings (butt-weld pipe
fittings) from the People’s Republic of
China (China).1 We invited parties to
submit comments on the Preliminary
Results. No party submitted comments.
Accordingly, the final results remain
unchanged from the Preliminary
Results.
On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled
all deadlines in administrative reviews
by 50 days, thereby extending the
deadline for these final results until
September 21, 2020.2 On July 21, 2020,
Commerce tolled all deadlines in
administrative reviews by an additional
60 days.3 The deadline for the final
results of this review is now November
18, 2020.4

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
consists of certain carbon steel buttweld pipe fittings, having an inside
diameter of less than 14 inches,
imported in either finished or
unfinished form. These formed or forged
pipe fittings are used to join sections in
piping systems where conditions
require permanent, welded connections,
as distinguished from fittings based on
other fastening methods (e.g., threaded,
grooved, or bolted fittings). Carbon steel
butt-weld pipe fittings are currently
classified under subheading 7307.93.30
of the HTSUS. The HTSUS subheading
is provided for convenience and
customs purposes. The written product
description remains dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
we received a statement from Solidbend
reporting that it had no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR and this
statement was consistent with the
information we received from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection.5 No
party commented on our preliminary no
shipment finding with respect to
Solidbend, and no party submitted
record evidence that calls this finding
into question. Therefore, for these final
results, we continue to find that
Solidbend did not have any shipments
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final
results of review within five days of its
public announcement, or if there is no
public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of this notice,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because the company under
review had no reviewable shipments,
there are no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any
assessment rates in this administrative
review. Based on the record evidence
we have determined that Solidbend had
no shipments of subject merchandise,
and, therefore, pursuant to Commerce’s
assessment practice, any suspended
entries during the POR from Solidbend
will be liquidated at the China-wide
entity rate (i.e., 182.90 percent).6

Preliminary Results, 85 FR at 18556.

Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions 15 days after the
publication date 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)(C) of the Act: (1)
For previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not
listed above that have separate rates, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recently-completed segment of this
proceeding; (2) for all Chinese
manufacturers or exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be 182.90
percent, the China-wide rate determined
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation; 7 (3) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
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
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
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On July 1, 2020, Commerce published
in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on cold-rolled steel flat products from
Japan for the period July 1, 2019,
through June 30, 2020.1 On July 29,
2020, Nucor Corporation, Steel
Dynamics, Inc., and United States Steel

Interested Parties’’), filed a timely
request for review, in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b).2 Pursuant to this request
and in accordance with section 751(a) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we
initiated an administrative review of the
20 companies named by the Domestic
Interested Parties in their request for
review.3 No other requests for review
were received. On October 21, 2020, the
Domestic Interested Parties timely
withdrew their request for an
administrative review with respect to all
20 companies.4
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the party
that requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. As noted above,
Domestic Interested Parties, the only
parties to file a request for review,
withdrew this request by the 90-day
deadline. Accordingly, we are
rescinding, in its entirety, the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on cold-rolled
steel flat products from Japan covering
the period July 1, 2019, through June 30,
2020.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of cold-rolled steel flat products
from Japan. 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 to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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
