SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department exercised its discretion 
to toll all administrative deadlines due to a closure of the Federal 
Government. As a result, the revised deadline for the preliminary 
results of this review was March 7, 2016.\4\ On March 2, 2016, the 
Department extended the deadline for the preliminary results to July 5, 
2016.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Memorandum to the Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement & Compliance, regarding 
``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the Government 
Closure During Snowstorm `Jonas,''' dated January 27, 2016. If the 
new deadline falls on a non-business day, in accordance with the 
Department's practice, the deadline will become the next business 
day.

``Preliminary Decision Memorandum for the Administrative Review of 
the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Large Diameter Carbon and 
Alloy Seamless Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe (Over 4 \1/2\ 
Inches) from Japan; 2014-2015 Administrative Review'' from Gary 
Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, dated 
concurrently with this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    In accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), we relied on facts available with an 
adverse inference with respect to NSSMC, the sole company selected for 
individual examination in this review, and we preliminarily assign to 
it a dumping margin of 107.80 percent. In making these findings, we 
relied on facts available because NSSMC failed to respond to the 
Department's antidumping duty questionnaire, and thus withheld 
requested information, failed to provide requested information by the 
established deadlines, and significantly impeded this proceeding. See 
sections 776(a)(1) and (2)(A)-(C) of the Act. Furthermore, because we 
preliminarily determine that NSSMC failed to cooperate by not acting to 
the best of its ability to comply with the Department's requests for 
information, we drew an adverse inference in selecting from among the 
facts otherwise available. See section 776(b) of the Act.
    Additionally, as indicated in the ``Preliminary Results of Review'' 
section below, we preliminarily determine that a margin of 107.8 
percent applies to the three firms not selected for individual review. 
For further information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 
``Rate for Non-Examined Companies.''
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 
included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included in the 
Appendix attached to this notice.
    The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on 
file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and 
to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main 
Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the 
Internet at: http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. A list of the 
topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as 
an Appendix to this notice.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
information and information provided by NKK, we preliminarily determine 
that NKK had no shipments of the subject merchandise, and, therefore, 
no reviewable transactions, during the POR. For a full discussion of 
this determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Consistent 
with our practice, we are not preliminarily

rescinding the review with respect to NKK but, rather, we will complete 
the review with respect to this company and issue appropriate 
instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review.\7\

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine,

covered by this review. If the preliminary results are unchanged for 
the final results we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 
assessment rate of 107.80 percent to all entries of subject merchandise 
during the POR which were produced and/or exported by NSSMC, and an ad 
valorem assessment rate of 107.80 percent to all entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or exported by the 
three aforementioned companies which were not selected for individual 
examination.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at section V.b ``Rate 
for Non-Examined Companies'' (for an explanation of how we 
preliminarily determined the rate for non-selected companies).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the 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 certain large diameter carbon and alloy seamless 
standard, line, and pressure pipe (over 4\1/2\ inches) from Japan 
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 rates for the reviewed companies will be the rates 
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 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; (4) if neither 
the exporter nor the manufacturer has its own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be 68.88 percent, the all-others rate established 
in the order.\12\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe

Notifications 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 doubled antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
