SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 7, 2023, Commerce published the Preliminary Results for
this review in the Federal Register and invited interested parties to
comment on those results.\1\ On December 11, 2023, Ratnamani Metal &
Tubes Ltd. (Ratnamani) responded to Commerce's second supplemental
questionnaire and on April 4, 2024, Prakash Steelage Limited (PSL) and
Seth Steelage Private Limited (SSPL) (collectively, PSL/SSPL) \2\
responded to Commerce's post-preliminary questionnaire.\3\ On April 16,
2024, Commerce notified parties of the final briefing schedule for
interested parties to submit comments concerning the Preliminary
Results and any factual information received since the issuance
thereof.\4\ No interested party submitted comments or requested a
hearing for this administrative review. Although Commerce has made
certain minor changes to the margin calculations for both respondents
based on information received subsequent to the Preliminary Results,
because no substantive comment was received, no decision memorandum
accompanies this notice. Commerce conducted this review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Welded Stainless Pressure Pipe from India: Preliminary
Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR 85211 (December 7, 2023) (Preliminary
Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
\2\ Commerce preliminarily determined PSL and SSPL to be
affiliated and collapsed into a single entity, PSL/SSPL. See
Memorandum, ``2021-2022 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of
Welded Stainless Pressure Pipe from India: Preliminary Affiliation
and Collapsing Memorandum,'' dated November 30, 2023. We received no
comment in opposition to this preliminary collapsing determination.
Therefore, we continue to find PSL and SSPL to be affiliated and
collapsed as a single entity for the purposes of these final
results.
\3\ See Ratnamani's Letter, ``Submission of Section- B & C 2nd
Supplemental Questionnaire Response,'' dated December 11, 2023; see
also PSL's Letter, ``Response to Section ABCD 2nd Supplemental
Questionnaire,'' dated April 4, 2024.
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Updated Briefing Schedule,'' dated April
16, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Welded Stainless Pressure Pipe from India: Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Orders, 81 FR 81062 (November 17, 2016)
(Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise subject to the Order is welded stainless pressure
pipe from India. For a complete description of the scope, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rates for Companies Not Selected for Individual Examination
For the rate for non-selected respondents in an administrative
review, 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. 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 segment of the proceeding,
we have calculated a weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero,
de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available for
Ratnamani. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the
Act, we have assigned Ratnamani's weighted-average dumping margin of
2.55 percent to the non-examined companies because this is the only
rate that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts
available. See the appendix to this notice for a list of these
companies.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
There have been minor changes since the Preliminary Results based
on subsequent supplemental questionnaire responses and updated sales
databases, which are detailed in the final analysis memoranda.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice; and
``Ratnamani Final Analysis Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with
this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period November 1, 2021, through October 31,
2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average

Non-examined companies \7\.................................. 2.55
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See the appendix for a full list of these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results to interested parties in this review under administrative
protective order (APO) within five days of the date of publication of
this notice 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 U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for
Ratnamani, we calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment
rates by aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by
the total entered value associated with those sales. 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.
Commerce will ``automatically assess'' entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for which the examined companies did not
know that the merchandise they sold to an intermediary (e.g., a
reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
[[Page 48889]]
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
The assessment rate for antidumping duties for each of the
companies not selected for individual examination will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin identified above in the ``Final Results
of Review'' section.
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 rates for the companies
identified above in the ``Final Results of Review'' will be equal to
the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise
exported by a company not covered in this administrative review but
covered in a completed prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this review or completed prior
segment of this proceeding but the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the company-specific rate established for the most recently-
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 8.35 percent, the rate established in the
investigation of this proceeding.\8\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order, 81 FR at 81063.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties has
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties,
and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an 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 term of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5)
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
