SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 19, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results
of this administrative review.\1\ Interpipe,\2\ the sole mandatory
respondent, was the only interested party to comment on the Preliminary
Results. For a description of the events since the Preliminary Results,
as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for these
final results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\3\ Commerce
conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in Interpipe's case brief are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of these issues is attached as
an 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
<a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received from Interpipe
regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain changes to the
calculation of the weighted-average dumping margin for Interpipe in
these final results.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
We have calculated the following weighted-average dumping margin
for Interpipe for the period July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter or producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interpipe Europe S.A./Interpipe Ukraine LLC/PJSC Interpipe 1.55
Niznedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant/LLC Interpipe Niko Tube.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register, 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)(1), 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 the final results of
this review.\6\ For
[[Page 17522]]
Interpipe, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-
specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce
will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of
liquidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Interpipe for which it
did not know that the 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 Interpipe will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this administrative review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, 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
or in a prior segment of the proceeding, but the producer was covered,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be the all-others rate of 7.47 percent as
established in the original less-than-fair-value investigation.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order, 84 FR at 33919.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 the only reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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
We are issuing and publishing these results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: March 17, 2023.
