------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Dumping
                  Exporter/manufacturer                       margin
                                                             (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KME Italy SpA...........................................           22.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to apply 
an ad valorem assessment rate of 22.00 percent to all entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or exported 
by KME Italy SpA. The Department intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these 
final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of BSS from Italy entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 KME Italy 
SpA will be equal to the dumping margin established in the final 
results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers 
or exporters 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 rate published for the most recently completed segment 
of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 
the exporter nor the manufacturer has its own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be 5.44 percent, the all-others rate determined 
in the LTFV investigation. These deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notifications 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 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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 these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 14, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
