SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 16, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
Final Results.\1\ Commerce omitted notice of rescission of this review
for 11 companies in the Final Results that Commerce previously
identified with an intent to rescind in the Preliminary Results.\2\
Commerce is amending the Final Results to correct for this ministerial
error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from Mexico:
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023,
90 FR 25232 (June 16, 2025), and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum (IDM).
\2\ See Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from Mexico:
Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 74916, 74917 (September 13,
2024) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
defines a ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' \3\ With respect to final results of administrative
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any . . . ministerial
error by amending the final results of review. . . {.{time} ''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Error
Commerce reviewed the record and finds that the omission of
rescission of review language from the Final Results constitutes a
ministerial error within the meaning of section 751(h) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.224(f). Specifically, with regard to rescission, we find
that not including the rescission language in the Final Results with
respect to the 11 companies after notifying parties of our intent to
rescind in the Preliminary Results and receiving no comments from any
party, was an inadvertent error which we consider ministerial.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial error, Commerce is
rescinding the review with respect to the 11 companies listed below in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Rescission of Review, In Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order where it
determines that there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise
during the POR.\4\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative
review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty
assessment rate for the review period.\5\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry
that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty assessment rate for the
review period.\6\

Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of Antidumping
Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4157 (January 24, 2023).
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\6\ See, e.g., Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co. v. United States,
380 F. Supp. 3d 1328, 1335-36 (CIT 2019), at 12 (referring to
section 751(a) of the Act, the U.S. Court of International Trade
(CIT) held that: ``While the statute does not explicitly require
that an entry be suspended as a prerequisite for establishing
entitlement to a review, it does explicitly state the determined
rate will be used as the liquidation rate for the reviewed entries.
This result can only obtain if the liquidation of entries has been
suspended. . .;'' see also Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the

and Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian
Federation: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 77 FR 65532 (October 29, 2012) (noting that ``for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry to be liquidated at the newly calculated assessment
rate'').

[[Page 38752]]
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce stated its intent to rescind
this review with respect to 11 companies pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3) and provided interested parties with an opportunity to
submit comments on this intent to rescind, including factual
information to demonstrate whether there are reviewable entries during
the POR for any of the parties listed below.\7\ No interested party
provided comment. As a result, we are rescinding this review with
respect to these 11 companies: (1) Arco Metal S.A. de C.V.; (2)
Fabricaciones y Servicios de Mexico; (3) Galvak, S.A. de C.V.; (4)
Grupo Estructuras y Perfiles; (5) Industrias Monterrey S.A. de C.V.;
(6) Internacional de Aceros, S.A. de C.V.; (7) PEASA-Productos
Especializados de Acero; (8) Talleres Acero Rey S.A. de C.V.; (9)
Tuberias Aspe S.A. de C.V.; (10) Tuberia Laguna, S.A. de C.V.; and (11)
Tuberias y Derivados S.A. de C.V.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 74917.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
There are no additional details or calculations to disclose for
these amended final results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment
For the companies for which we are rescinding this review,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry,
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue these rescission
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register.
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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
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. Timely written
notification of the 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 which is
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
Dated: August 5, 2025.
