estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins by the appropriate rates as 

indicated in the above chart.15 We made 

no adjustment for domestic subsidy 

pass-through in this case because we 

found no basis upon which to make 

such an adjustment.16

In addition, pursuant to section 

735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to require a cash 

deposit equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which NV exceeds U.S. price 

as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for 

the exporter/producer combination 

listed in the table above will be the rate 

identified for that combination in the 

table; (2) for all combinations of 

exporters/producers of merchandise 

under consideration that have not 

received their own separate rate above, 

the cash-deposit rate will be the cash 

deposit rate established for the Chinawide entity; and (3) for all non-Chinese 

exporters of the merchandise under 

consideration which have not received 

their own separate rate above, the cash 

deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate 

applicable to the Chinese exporter/ 

producer combination that supplied that 

non-Chinese exporter. These suspension 

of liquidation instructions will remain 

in effect until further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. 

As Commerce’s final determination is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will 

determine, within 45 days, whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

cast iron soil pipe fittings from China, 

or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation, of cast iron soil pipe 

fittings from China. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does not 

exist, this proceeding will be terminated 

and all securities posted will be 

refunded or canceled. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

Commerce intends to issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an 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/ 

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 determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 735(d) 

and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(c). 

Dated: July 5, 2018.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is cast iron soil pipe fittings, 

finished and unfinished, regardless of 

industry or proprietary specifications, and 

regardless of size. Cast iron soil pipe fittings 

are nonmalleable iron castings of various 

designs and sizes, including, but not limited 

to, bends, tees, wyes, traps, drains, and other 

common or special fittings, with or without 

side inlets. 

Cast iron soil pipe fittings are classified 

into two major types—hubless and hub and 

spigot. Hubless cast iron soil pipe fittings are 

manufactured without a hub, generally in 

compliance with Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute 

(CISPI) specification 301 and/or American 

Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 

specification A888. Hub and spigot pipe 

fittings have hubs into which the spigot 

(plain end) of the pipe or fitting is inserted. 

Cast iron soil pipe fittings are generally 

distinguished from other types of 

nonmalleable cast iron fittings by the manner 

in which they are connected to cast iron soil 

pipe and other fittings. 

The subject imports are normally classified 

in subheading 7307.11.0045 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS): Cast fittings of nonmalleable 

cast iron for cast iron soil pipe. They may 

also be entered under HTSUS 7324.29.0000 

and 7307.92.3010. The HTSUS subheadings 

and specifications are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes only; the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive.

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, the Endangered Species 

Act, and the National Environmental 

Policy Act, and other pertinent statues. 

II. Method of Collection 

A standardized survey will be 

administered via in-person, telephone 

and/or mail to all fishermen 

participating in the fishery.
