SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is amending the final 

results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty (AD) order on 

circular welded carbon-quality steel 

pipe (CWP) from the United Arab 

Emirates (UAE) to correct a ministerial 

error. 

DATES: Applicable January 5, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 1, 2020, Commerce 

published the Final Results of the 2017– 

2018 administrative review of CWP 

from the UAE in the Federal Register.1

On November 30, 2020, Universal Tube 

and Plastic Industries, Ltd., KHK 

Scaffolding and Framework LLC, and 

THL Pipe and Tube Industries LLC 

(collectively, Universal), one of two 

companies selected for individual 

examination in this administrative 

review, alleged the existence of a 

ministerial error in Commerce’s Final 

Results.2

Legal Framework 

A ministerial error, as defined in 

section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), includes ‘‘errors 

in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical errors 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

type of unintentional error which the 

administering authority considers 

ministerial.’’ 3 With respect to final 

results of administrative reviews, 19 

CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and, if appropriate, correct any 

ministerial error by amending . . . the 

final results of review.’’ 

Ministerial Error 

Commerce committed an inadvertent 

error within the meaning of section 

751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) 

by incorrectly calculating Universal’s 

home market commissions. 

Accordingly, we determine, in 

accordance with section 751(h) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that we 

made a ministerial error in the Final 

Results. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

we are amending the Final Results to 

correct this error. This correction results 

in a change to Universal’s weightedaverage dumping margin and also 

changes the rate calculated for the nonindividually-examined companies. For a 

detailed discussion of the ministerial 

error allegation, as well as Commerce’s 

analysis, see Ministerial Error 

Memorandum.4

Correction 

Subsequent to the publication of the 

notice in the Federal Register, we 

identified an inadvertent error in the 

Final Results in addition to the one 

alleged by Universal. Specifically, 

Commerce inadvertently referenced the 

review-specific rate of 3.14 percent as 

the all-others rate in the cash deposit 

section of the notice. However, the allothers rate, established in the 

investigation, is 5.95 percent.5 The 

corrected cash deposit section of the 

notice is below. 

Amended Final Results of the Review 

We are assigning the following 

weighted-average dumping margins to 

the firms listed below for the period 

December 1, 2017 through November 

30, 2018: 

Producers/exporters 

Weighted-average

6This rate is based on the simple average of the 

margins calculated for those companies selected for 

individual review. Because we cannot apply our 

normal methodology of calculating a weightedaverage margin due to requests to protect business 

proprietary information, we find this rate to be the 

best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin 

determined for the mandatory respondents. See Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, et al.:

Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these amended final 

results in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Antidumping Duty Assessment 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

amended final results of this review. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

because Conares Metal Supply Ltd and 

Universal reported the entered value of 

their U.S. sales, we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of the sales for which entered 

value was reported. Where an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

average 8 of the cash deposit rates 

calculated for Conares Metal Supply Ltd 

and Universal. The amended final 

results of this review shall be the basis 

for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

covered by the amended final results of 

this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.9

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by companies included in these final 

results of review for which the reviewed 

companies did not know that the 

merchandise they sold to the 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions for Universal and the 

companies covered by the non-reviewed 

companies’ rate to CBP 15 days after 

publication of these amended final 

results of this administrative review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after December 1, 

2020, the date of publication date of the 

Final Results of this administrative 

review, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for each specific company 

listed above will be that established in 

the amended final results; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies, including those for which 

Commerce may have determined had no 

shipments during the POR, the cash 

deposit will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this or an earlier review, 

or the original 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 is a firm 

covered in this or any previously 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

all-others rate of 5.95 percent 

established in the LTFV investigation.10

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

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. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), may 

request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) conduct an 

administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by Commerce 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review. We intend to release 

the CBP data under Administrative 

Protective Order (APO) to all parties 

having an APO within five days of 

publication of the initiation notice and 

to make our decision regarding 

respondent selection within 21 days of 

publication of the initiation Federal 

Register notice. Therefore, we 

encourage all parties interested in 

commenting on respondent selection to 

submit their APO applications on the 

date of publication of the initiation 

notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

Commerce invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within five days of placement of the 

CBP data on the record of the review. 

In the event Commerce decides it is 

necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, Commerce finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will 

not conduct collapsing analyses at the 

respondent selection phase of a review 

and will not collapse companies at the 

respondent selection phase unless there 

has been a determination to collapse 

certain companies in a previous 

segment of this antidumping proceeding 

(i.e., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to a review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. Parties are requested to (a) 

identify which companies subject to 

review previously were collapsed, and 

(b) provide a citation to the proceeding 

in which they were collapsed. Further, 

if companies are requested to complete 

a Quantity and Value Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of a proceeding 

where Commerce considered collapsing 

that entity, complete quantity and value 

data for that collapsed entity must be 

submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may 

extend this time if it is reasonable to do 

so. Determinations by Commerce to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

Deadline for Particular Market 

Situation Allegation 

Section 504 of the Trade Preferences 

Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act 

by adding the concept of particular 

market situation (PMS) for purposes of 

constructed value under section 773(e) 

of the Act.1 Section 773(e) of the Act 

states that ‘‘if a particular market 

situation exists such that the cost of 

materials and fabrication or other 

processing of any kind does not 

accurately reflect the cost of production 

in the ordinary course of trade, the 

administering authority may use 

another calculation methodology under 

this subtitle or any other calculation 

methodology.’’ When an interested 

party submits a PMS allegation pursuant 

to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce 

will respond to such a submission 

consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v). 

If Commerce finds that a PMS exists 

under section 773(e) of the Act, then it 

will modify its dumping calculations 

appropriately. 

Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 

19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a deadline 

for the submission of PMS allegations 

and supporting factual information. 

However, in order to administer section 

773(e) of the Act, Commerce must 

receive PMS allegations and supporting 

factual information with enough time to 

consider the submission. Thus, should 

an interested party wish to submit a 

PMS allegation and supporting new 

factual information pursuant to section 

773(e) of the Act, it must do so no later 

than 20 days after submission of initial 

Section D responses.
