    Interested parties who wish to request a hearing, must submit a

Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, using Enforcement and 
Compliance's ACCESS system within 30 days of publication of this 
notice.\8\ Hearing requests should contain the party's name, address,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department 
intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, 
including the results of our analysis of the issues raised by the 
parties in their case and rebuttal briefs, within 120 days after the 
publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

Assessment Rates

    For Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH, upon issuance of the final results, 
the Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review. Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH reported the name of 
the importer of record and the entered value for all of their sales to 
the United States during the POR. If Husteel's, HYSCO's, and SeAH's 
weighted-average dumping margins are not zero or de minimis (i.e., less 
than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we will 
calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 
of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined 
sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific 
assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is not 
zero or de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average 
dumping margin is zero or de minimis,\9\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14, 
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Husteel, 
HYSCO, and SeAH for which they did not know their merchandise was 
destined for the United States. In such instances, 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 practice, see Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 
2003).
    For Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH, we intend to issue instructions to 
CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties will be effective upon publication of the notice of final 
results of administrative review for all shipments of CWP from Korea 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) 
The cash deposit rate for Husteel, HYSCO, and SeAH will be equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of 
this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers 
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior 
completed 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 producer has been 
covered in a prior complete segment of this proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period 
for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent, the 
``all others'' rate established in the order.\10\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Brazil, the Republic of Korea 
(Korea), Mexico, and Venezuela, and Amendment to Final Determination

Steel Pipe from Korea, 57 FR 49453 (November 2, 1992).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary 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 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    The Department is issuing and publishing these results in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 1, 2015.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
