SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 31, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the 2021-2022 administrative review \1\ of the
antidumping duty order on heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from the Republic of Korea (Korea).\2\ We invited
interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\3\ No
interested party submitted comments. Accordingly, the final results of
the review remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. Commerce
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Disclosure
Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis, and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently,
there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b) for these final results of review.
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. Because the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin
or importer-specific assessment rates are zero or de minimis in the
final results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the
entries without regard to antidumping duties.\5\ These final results of
administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by this review and
for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102-03 (February 14,
2012); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
\6\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. for which it did not know that the merchandise it
sold 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\ For a full discussion of this practice, 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 upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
the cash deposit rate for the respondent will equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company 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 cash deposit rate published in the completed segment for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or a previous segment, but the producer is, 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 3.24 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\8\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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 return/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 the final results of this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: November 17, 2023.
