Verification

    As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, in February and March 
2016, we conducted verification of the sales and cost information 
submitted by Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero) and Productos 
Laminados de Monterrey S.A. de C.V. (Prolamsa) for use in our final 
determination. We used standard verification procedures, including an 
examination of relevant accounting and production records, and original 
source documents provided by Maquilacero and Prolamsa.\3\

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at 
verification, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for 
Maquilacero and Prolamsa. For a discussion of these changes, see the 
``Margin Calculations'' section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

All-Others Rate

    Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated all-
others rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted-average of the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters 
and producers individually investigated excluding any zero or de 
minimis margins, and margins determined entirely under section 776 of 
the Act. For the final determination, the Department calculated the 
``all-others'' rate based on a weighted average of Maquilacero's and 
Prolamsa's margins using publicly-ranged quantities of their sales of 
subject merchandise.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Memorandum to the File from David Crespo, Senior 
Analyst, entitled, ``Calculation of the All-Others Rate for the 
Final Determination in the Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of 
Heavy Walled Rectangular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From 
Mexico,'' dated July 14, 2016. With two respondents, we normally 
calculate (A) a weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated 
for the mandatory respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping 
margins calculated for the mandatory respondents; and (C) a 
weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory 
respondents using each company's publicly-ranged values for the 
merchandise under consideration. We compare (B) and (C) to (A) and 
select the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 
other companies. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, 
Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-
Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 
53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination

    The final weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

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

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

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the 
date of any public announcement of this determination to parties in 
this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department 
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 
suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of HWR pipes and tubes 
from Mexico, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 
1, 2016, the date of publication of the preliminary determination of 
this investigation in the Federal Register.
    Further, the Department will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 
equal to the estimated amount by which the normal value exceeds the 
U.S. price as shown above.

International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
ITC of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because 
the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in 
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its 
final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United 
States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by 
reason of imports of HWR pipes and tubes from Mexico no later than 45 
days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material 
injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will 
be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC 
determines that such injury does exist, the Department will issue an 
antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further 
instruction by the Department, antidumping duties on all imports of the 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of 
liquidation.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (APO)

    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of their 
responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 
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 the terms of an APO is a 
sanctionable violation.
    This determination and this notice are issued and published 
pursuant to sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

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