Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order is certain stainless steel 
butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy.\2\ Stainless steel butt-weld pipe 
fittings are under 14 inches in outside diameter (based on nominal pipe 
size), whether finished or unfinished. The product encompasses all 
grades of stainless steel and ``commodity'' and ``specialty'' fittings. 
Specifically excluded from the definition are threaded, grooved, and 
bolted fittings, and fittings made from any material other than 
stainless steel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Antidumping Duty Orders: Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 
Fittings from Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines, 66 FR 11257 
(February 23, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The butt-weld fittings subject to the order is currently 
classifiable under subheading 7307.23.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description 
of the scope of the order is dispositive. A full description of the 
scope of the order is contained in the memorandum from Christian Marsh, 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, to Gary 
Taverman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of 
the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, titled 
``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from 
Italy; 2016-2017'' (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), which is issued 
concurrent with these results and hereby adopted by this notice.

Methodology

    Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export 
price was calculated in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. 
Normal value was calculated in accordance with section 773(a)(1)(B) of 
the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
analysis, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, available at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

Final Results of Review

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Filmag did not 
make sales at below normal value for the period February 1, 2016, 
through January 31, 2017. We have not received information 
contradicting our preliminary finding. Thus, there is no reason to 
modify our preliminary analysis, and no decision memorandum accompanies 
this Federal Register notice.

Final Results of Review

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for the period of review

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the 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 terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice of the final results of this administrative review is 
issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
