SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On April 6, 2022, Commerce published the preliminary results of the 2020–2021 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on CWP from Thailand.1 This review covers a sole mandatory respondent, Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd., also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Co., Ltd. (Saha Thai), and 28 non-examined producers or exporters of subject merchandise. We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.2 On June 15, 2022, Wheatland Tube Company (Wheatland), a domestic interested party,3 Nucor Tubular Products Inc.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results We made no changes to our calculations for the final results of review. Final Determination of No Shipments We preliminarily found that K Line had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.11 No party commented on the Preliminary Results regarding the no-shipments decision with respect to K-Line. Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find that K-Line had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and will issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on the final results. Rate for Non-Examined Companies The statute and Commerce’s regulations do not address the establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review 9 See Antidumping Duty Order; Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand, 51 FR 8341 (March 11, 1986) (Order). 10 See Memorandum, ‘‘Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand: Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2020–2021,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 11 See Preliminary Results, 87 FR at 19856. E:\FR\FM\06OCN1.SGM 06OCN1 60657 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 193 / Thursday, October 6, 2022 / Notices pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value investigation, for guidance when calculating the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) margins, and any margins determined entirely on the basis of facts available. In this review, we have calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Saha Thai, that is zero percent. Where the rates for the individually examined companies are all zero, de minimis, or determined entirely using facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act instructs that Commerce ‘‘may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.’’ One such reasonable method is to weight average the zero and de minimis rates, and the rates determined entirely pursuant to facts available. In fact, the SAA states that this is the ‘‘expected’’ method in such circumstances.12 Accordingly, we determined the weighted-average dumping margin for the 28 companies that were not selected for individual examination based on the weighted average dumping margin calculated for Saha Thai, i.e., zero percent, consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. This is the only rate determined in this review for an individually examined company, and, thus, it is applied to the 28 firms not selected for individual examination. Final Results of Administrative Review Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period March 1, 2020, through February 28, 2021: Producer or exporter Weighted-average dumping margin (percent) Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd.; Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd ............................................................... 0.00 REVIEW-SPECIFIC AVERAGE RATE APPLICABLE TO THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES Producer or exporter Average dumping margin (percent) Non-Examined Companies 13 ...................................................................................................................................................... 0.00 Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the calculations performed in connection with a final results of review within five days after public announcement of final results.14 However, because Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation methodology used in the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations to disclose for the final results of review. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For Saha Thai, the calculated weighted-average dumping margin in the final results is zero or de minimis; accordingly, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the entries reported in this review without regard to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced 12 See Statement of Administrative Action Accompanying the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, H.R. Doc. 103–316, vol. 1 (1994) (SAA) at 873. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:46 Oct 05, 2022 Jkt 259001 by Saha Thai for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For the companies identified above that were not selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at a rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin for that company established in the final results of review. Because we have determined that KLine had no shipments of subject merchandise in this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended entries that entered under KLine’s case number (i.e., at K-Line’s cash deposit rate) at the all-others rate (i.e., 15.67 percent). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. 13 See Appendix II for a full list of these companies. PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Cash Deposit Requirements Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of CWP entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the companies subject to this review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 14 See E:\FR\FM\06OCN1.SGM 19 CFR 351.224(b). 06OCN1 60658 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 193 / Thursday, October 6, 2022 / Notices review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 15.67 percent, the all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation for this proceeding.15 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. 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 and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping and/ or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 6, 2022, Commerce published the preliminary results of the 
2020-2021 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on CWP 
from Thailand.\1\ This review covers a sole mandatory respondent, Saha 
Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd., also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe 
(Public) Co., Ltd. (Saha Thai), and 28 non-examined producers or 
exporters of subject merchandise. We invited interested parties to 
comment on the Preliminary Results.\2\ On June 15, 2022, Wheatland Tube 
Company (Wheatland), a domestic interested party,\3\ Nucor Tubular 
Products Inc. (Nucor), a domestic interested party,\4\ and Saha Thai 
\5\ timely submitted case briefs. On June 22, 2022, Wheatland,\6\ 
Nucor,\7\ and Saha Thai \8\ submitted timely rebuttal briefs. Commerce 
conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    We made no changes to our calculations for the final results of 
review.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    We preliminarily found that K Line had no shipments of subject 
merchandise during the POR.\11\ No party commented on the Preliminary 
Results regarding the no-shipments decision with respect to K-Line. 
Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find that K-Line had 
no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and will issue 
appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
based on the final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Preliminary Results, 87 FR at 19856.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Non-Examined Companies

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the 
establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be applied to 
companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits 
its examination in an administrative review

[[Page 60657]]

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 
section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for 
calculating the all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value 
investigation, for guidance when calculating the weighted-average 
dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual 
examination in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of 
the Act, the all-others rate is normally an amount equal to the 
weighted average of the estimated weighted average dumping margins 
established for exporters and producers individually investigated, 
excluding any zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) margins, 
and any margins determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
    In this review, we have calculated a weighted-average dumping 
margin for the mandatory respondent, Saha Thai, that is zero percent. 
Where the rates for the individually examined companies are all zero, 
de minimis, or determined entirely using facts available, section 
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act instructs that Commerce ``may use any 
reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others rate for 
exporters and producers not individually investigated, including 
averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for 
the exporters and producers individually investigated.'' One such 
reasonable method is to weight average the zero and de minimis rates, 
and the rates determined entirely pursuant to facts available. In fact, 
the SAA states that this is the ``expected'' method in such 
circumstances.\12\ Accordingly, we determined the weighted-average 
dumping margin for the 28 companies that were not selected for 
individual examination based on the weighted average dumping margin 
calculated for Saha Thai, i.e., zero percent, consistent with section 
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. This is the only rate determined in this 
review for an individually examined company, and, thus, it is applied 
to the 28 firms not selected for individual examination.

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with a final results of review 
within five days after public announcement of final results.\14\ 
However, because Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation 
methodology used in the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations 
to disclose for the final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Appendix II for a full list of these companies.
    \14\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the 
final results of this review.
    For Saha Thai, the calculated weighted-average dumping margin in 
the final results is zero or de minimis; accordingly, we will instruct 
CBP to liquidate the entries reported in this review without regard to 
antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
produced by Saha Thai for which it did not know its merchandise was 
destined for the United States, 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.
    For the companies identified above that were not selected for 
individual examination, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping 
duties at a rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin for that 
company established in the final results of review.
    Because we have determined that K-Line had no shipments of subject 
merchandise in this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any 
suspended entries that entered under K-Line's case number (i.e., at K-
Line's cash deposit rate) at the all-others rate (i.e., 15.67 percent).
    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the 
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will 
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties 
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 
90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments 
of CWP entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the companies subject to this 
review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established 
in the final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by a 
company not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed 
segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the 
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this

[[Page 60658]]

review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the producer 
has been covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, then 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed 
segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; 
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will 
continue to be 15.67 percent, the all-others rate established in the 
less-than-fair-value investigation for this proceeding.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Order, 51 FR at 8341.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.
    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 and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption 
that reimbursement of the antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of 
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to 
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also 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 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 subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    Commerce is issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: September 30, 2022.
