SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On December 5, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this administrative review.1 The review covers 24 producers and/or exporters of subject merchandise. We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Results, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for these final results, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 1 See Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2020– 2021, 87 FR 74402 (December 5, 2021) (Preliminary Results) and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM). 2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the 2020– 2021 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).

E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM 09JNN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 111 / Friday, June 9, 2023 / Notices examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review 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 market economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate 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 weightedaverage dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.’’ In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for one of the mandatory respondents, Husteel, that is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available. However, for the second mandatory respondent, NEXTEEL, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of zero. Accordingly, Commerce assigned Husteel’s 12.87 percent weightedaverage dumping margin to the companies not individually examined listed in Appendix II.6 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final results to parties in this proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the examined sales to that importer, and we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this. Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage 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. Final Results of Review For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Husteel or We determine that the following NEXTEEL for which they did not know weighted-average dumping margins that the merchandise was destined to exists for the period November 1, 2020 the United States, we will instruct CBP through October 31, 2021: to liquidate those entries at the allWeighted- others rate of 4.80 percent, if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) average Producer/exporter dumping involved in the transaction.8 margin Commerce intends to issue (percent) assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of Husteel Co., Ltd .......................... 12.87 publication of the final results of this NEXTEEL Co., Ltd ..................... 0.00 review in the Federal Register.

Commerce then compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters.

These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers 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 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 antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Notification Regarding 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(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties 
in this review are listed in Appendix I to this notice and addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. The Issues and Decision Memorandum 
is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and

and Decision Memorandum can be accessed at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    For reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we 
made changes to the macros program to implement our intended 
methodology for cost recovery in quarterly cost and to no longer 
overwrite the home market sales control number (CONNUM) 
characteristics. Additionally, we changed the total cost of 
manufacturing variable ``TTOTCOM'' to ``TOTCOM'' in the comparison 
market program for consistency. For a more detailed discussion of the 
changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\5\

examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative 
review 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 market economy investigation, for 
guidance when calculating the rate 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 margins, and any margins 
determined entirely {on the basis of facts available{time} .'' In this 
review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for one of the 
mandatory respondents, Husteel, that is not zero, de minimis, or 
determined entirely on the basis of facts available. However, for the 
second mandatory respondent, NEXTEEL, we calculated a weighted-average 
dumping margin of zero. Accordingly, Commerce assigned Husteel's 12.87 
percent weighted-average dumping margin to the companies not 
individually examined listed in Appendix II.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ With two respondents under examination, Commerce normally 
calculates: (A) a weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated 
for the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping 
margins calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-
average of the dumping margins calculated for the examined 
respondents using each company's publicly-ranged U.S. sale 
quantities for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as 
the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with 
these final results to parties in this proceeding within five days of 
the date of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the 
final results of this review. For any individually examined respondents 
whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, we 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on 
the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the 
examined sales to the total entered value of the examined sales to that 
importer, and we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this. Where either 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.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Husteel or NEXTEEL for which they did not know that the merchandise was 
destined to the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those 
entries at the all-others rate of 4.80 percent, if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\8\

    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

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results 
of this administrative review in the Federal Register, as provided for 
by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for 
companies subject to this review will be the rates established in these 
final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by 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 recent period; (3) if the 
exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the 
original investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established for the most recent period for the 
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers or exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent,\9\ the all-
others rate established in the investigation. These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    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 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 antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding 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(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 regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties
