Results. A summary of the events that

Preliminary Results, as well as a full
discussion of the issues raised by parties
for these final results, are discussed in

The product covered by this Order is
large diameter welded pipe from
Canada. For a complete description of
the scope of the Order, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties’ case
and rebuttal briefs are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum and
are listed in the appendix to this notice.

weighted-average dumping margin
calculations for Evraz, as detailed in the

determine the following weightedAdministrative Review and Partial Rescission of
Administrative Review; 2020–2021, 87 FR 34249
(June 6, 2022) (Preliminary Results), and
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
2 In the underlying investigation, Commerce
treated Evraz Inc. NA, Evraz Inc. NA Canada, and
the Canadian National Steel Corporation
(collectively, Evraz) as a single entity. See Large
Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada: Antidumping
Duty Order, 84 FR 18775, 18776 (May 2, 2019)

Commerce intends to disclose the

Assessment Rates
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
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
final results of review.6 Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1), Evraz reported the
entered value of its U.S. sales such that
we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the sales for which
entered value was reported. Where the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
practice will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by Evraz for which the company 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.7 Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 41 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a).
5 As noted above, the Evraz single entity includes:
Evraz Inc. NA; Evraz Inc. NA Canada; and the
Canadian National Steel Corporation.

The following 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) the
cash deposit rate for Evraz Inc. NA will
be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin that is established in
the final results of this review; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed
companies not subject to this review,
the cash deposit rate 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, a prior
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of the proceeding
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers and exporters will continue
to be 12.32 percent ad valorem, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation.8 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
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 the POR.
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 also serves as a reminder
to parties 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(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. 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
