SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 7, 2016, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results.\1\ For a 
history of events that have occurred since the Preliminary Results, see 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\ The Issues and 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 is available to all 
parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department 
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at http://trade.gov/login.aspx. The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum and the 
electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical 
in content.

of Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2013-2014, 81 FR 742 (January 7, 2016) (Preliminary 
Results).
    \2\ See ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Welded ASTM A-312 
Stainless Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea; 2013-2014'' (Issues 
and Decision Memorandum), dated concurrently with and hereby adopted 
by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We tolled the deadline for issuing final results by four business 
days to May 13, 2016,\3\ to which we extended to July 11, 2016. The 
revised deadline for the final results of this review is now July 11, 
2016.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement & Compliance, the Department has exercised 
its discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to the 
recent closure of the Federal Government. See Memorandum to the 
Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting A/S for Enforcement & Compliance, 
regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines as a Result of the 
Government Closure During Snowstorm Jonas,'' dated January 27, 2016. 
All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been extended 
by four business days.
    \4\ See the Department's April 27, 2016 and July 1, 2016 
memorandums.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the antidumping duty order is welded 
austenitic stainless steel pipe that meets the standards and 
specifications set forth by the American Society for Testing and 
Materials (ASTM) for the welded form of chromium-nickel pipe designated 
ASTM A-312. The merchandise covered by the scope of the orders also 
includes austenitic welded stainless steel pipes made according to the 
standards of other nations which are comparable to ASTM A-312.
    Imports of welded ASTM A-312 stainless steel pipe are currently 
classifiable under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 7306.40.5005, 7306.40.5015, 
7306.40.5040, 7306.40.5062, 7306.40.5064, and 7306.40.5085. Although 
these subheadings include both pipes and tubes, the scope of the 
antidumping duty order is limited to welded austenitic stainless steel 
pipes. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes. However, the written description of the scope of the orders 
is dispositive.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum for a full description of 
the scope of order.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of issues raised and to 
which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to 
this notice as an Appendix.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made a 
change to SeAH's margin calculation.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3, and 
``Calculation for the Final Results of SeAH Steel Corporation in the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Welded ASTM A-312 
Stainless Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea'' (Final Calculation 
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    As a result of our review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period December 1, 2013, through 
November 30, 2014.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-

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

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculation performed in connection with 
these final results within five days of the publication date of this 
notice pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), the Department determined, 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 the final results of 
review. We will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of merchandise 
produced and/or exported by the aforementioned companies. The 
Department will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for SeAH. 
Where the respondent reported the entered value for its sales, the 
Department calculates importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates 
based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the 
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales.\7\ 
However, where the respondent did not report the entered value for its 
sales, the Department calculates importer-specific per-unit duty 
assessment rates. We will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 
assessment rate as indicated above to all entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or exported by LS 
Metal and the all other companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of Welded ASTM A-312 Stainless Steel Pipe from Korea entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of the final results of this administrative review, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit 
rate for the company under review will be equal to the weighted-average 
dumping margin established in the final results of this review (except, 
if the rate is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, then the cash 
deposit rate will be zero); (2) for

[[Page 46649]]

previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if 
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or 
the less-than-fair-value investigation (LTFV), but the manufacturer is, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed 
segment for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the 
merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a 
firm covered in this or any other completed segment of this proceeding, 
then the cash deposit rate will continue to be 7.00 pecent, the ``all 
others'' rate made effective by the LTFV investigation.\8\ These 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Duty Order: Certain Welded Stainless Steel Pipe From the Republic of 
Korea, 60 FR 10064 (February 23, 1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notifications to Interested Parties

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    The Department is issuing and publishing these final results of 
administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
