programming errors in the weighted-average dumping margin calculation.
A detailed discussion of the corrections made is included in the
Calculation Memorandum for Final Results.\4\

Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office III, to The File, through Eric
Greynolds, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office III, dated
concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

As a result of this review, we determine that the following margin
exists for the period October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2013:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Manufacturer/exporter dumping

* ad valorem.

Assessment Rate

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
the Department will determine, 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. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of these final results of review.
For assessment purposes, the Department applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of
the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain
Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14,
2012).
We calculated such rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales for which entered value was reported. If an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) or
the exporter has a weighted-average dumping margin that is zero or de
minimis, the Department will instruct CBP to assess that importer's
entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
respondent for which they did not know that their 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. For a full
discussion of this assessment practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)
of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Deacero will be the rate
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this
administrative 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 manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 20.11 percent, the all-others rate
established in the investigation.\5\ 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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
increase in antidumping duties by the amount of antidumping duties
reimbursed.

Administrative Protective Order

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (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/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.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

Dated: May 6, 2015.
