---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with 
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are certain cold-drawn 
mechanical tubing of carbon and alloy steel from Italy. For a full 
description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties 
raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum 
is included as the appendix to this notice. 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 
at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    As noted in the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined 
that Metalfer SpA (Metalfer) had no entries of subject merchandise into 
the United States during the POR. We received no comments from 
interested parties with respect to this determination. Therefore, 
because the record indicates that this company did not export subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POR, we continue to find 
that Metalfer had no reviewable transactions during the POR. 
Accordingly, consistent with Commerce's practice, we intend to instruct 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing 
entries of merchandise produced by Metalfer, but exported by other 
parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at 
the all-others rate.\4\

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Dalmine S.p.A. (Dalmine).\5\

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for the period June 1, 2020, through May 31, 2021:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dalmine S.p.A..............................................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with the final results within five days of any 
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five 
days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the 
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rate

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.
    For Dalmine, we will instruct CBP to liquidate its entries during 
the POR imported by the importers and/or

[[Page 1359]]

customers identified in its questionnaire responses without regard to 
antidumping duties because Dalmine's weighted-average dumping margin in 
these final results is zero.\6\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103, 8103 (February 14,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Dalmine for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the

the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\7\

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

    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) the cash deposit rate for Dalmine will be

the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
