9As discussed in Welded Line Pipe from the 

Republic of Korea: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value, 80 FR 61366 (October 13, 

2015), and accompanying IDM at 1, Hyundai 

HYSCO merged with Hyundai Steel subsequent to 

the period of investigation and Hyundai HYSCO no 

longer exists. Accordingly, our examination of 

Hyundai Steel includes entries made by Hyundai 

HYSCO prior to the date of the merger. 

10This is the rate we calculated for Hyundai Steel 

in the Final Results. 

11We incorrectly referred to SeAH as ‘‘SeAH 

Steel Company’’ in our Final Results. However, 

SeAH’s correct full name is SeAH Steel 

Corporation. 

12This rate is based on the simple average margin 

for those companies selected for individual review. 

Because we cannot apply our normal methodology 

of calculating a weighted-average 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.: Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final 

Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and

Results,’’ dated concurrently with the Ministerial

Welded Line Pipe From the Republic of 

Korea: Amended Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2015–2016 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is amending its final results 

of the administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on welded 

line pipe from the Republic of Korea to 

correct a ministerial error in the 

calculation of the weighted-average 

dumping margin of SeAH Steel 

Corporation (SeAH). Correction of the 

error results in revised margins for 

SeAH and the companies not selected 

for individual examination. Finally, in 

correcting this error, we also discovered 

an error in the assessment rates 

calculated for Hyundai Steel Company 

(Hyundai Steel), which did not affect 

Hyundai Steel’s final dumping margin. 

The amended final dumping margins 

are listed below in the section entitled, 

‘‘Amended Final Results.’’ 

DATES: Applicable August 10, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 18, 2018, Commerce 

published the Final Results of the 2015– 

2016 administrative review in the 

Federal Register.1 Subsequently, SeAH 

Steel Corporation (SeAH), one of two 

companies selected for individual 

examination, alleged that Commerce 

made a ministerial error related to the 

application of weighted-average further 

manufacturing costs to the appropriate 

U.S. sales.2 On July 23, 2018, Maverick 

Tube Corporation (Maverick) submitted 

comments in response to SeAH’s 

ministerial error allegation.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is welded line pipe.4 The product is 

currently classified under the following 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) item numbers: 

7305.11.1030, 7305.11.1060, 

7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030, 

7305.12.1060, 7305.12.5000, 

7305.19.1030, 7305.19.5000, 

7306.19.1010, 7306.19.1050, 

7306.19.5110, and 7306.19.5150. 

Although the HTSUS numbers are 

provided for convenience and for 

customs purposes, the written product 

description remains dispositive. 

Ministerial Error 

Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), defines 

‘‘ministerial errors’’ as including ‘‘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.’’ 5 SeAH alleges that we 

made a ministerial error in our 

calculation of its margin by incorrectly 

assigning the control number 

(CONNUM)-specific weighted-average 

further manufacturing costs to all of 

SeAH’s U.S. sales of that CONNUM, 

rather than only those sales of that 

CONNUM that underwent further 

processing in the United States.6 After 

analyzing the comments of interested 

parties, we find that we made a 

ministerial error in the Final Results, 

within the meaning of section 751(h) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), with 

respect to SeAH’s further manufacturing 

costs for its U.S. sales.7 Correction of 

this error in SeAH’s final margin 

program results in a revised weightedaverage dumping margin for the 

company. Furthermore, we are revising 

the review-specific average rate 

applicable to the 22 companies not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review. For a 

detailed discussion and analysis of the 

ministerial error, see the Ministerial 

Error Memorandum. 

Finally, in correcting this error, we 

also discovered an error in the 

assessment rates calculated for Hyundai 

Steel. This error did not affect the final 

dumping margin calculated for Hyundai 

Steel.8

Amended Final Results of the Review 

As a result of correcting the 

ministerial error decribed above, we

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

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), 

where Hyundai Steel and SeAH 

reported the entered value of their U.S. 

sales, we calculated importer-specific 

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 Hyundai Steel did not 

report entered value, we calculated the 

entered value in order to calculate the 

assessment rate. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 

importer-specific rate is zero or de 

minimis, 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 13 of the cash deposit rates 

calculated for Hyundai Steel and SeAH. 

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.14

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP for Hyundai Steel, 

SeAH, and the companies subject to the 

review-specific average rate 15 days 

after publication of these amended final 

results of this administrative review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective 

retroactively for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after July 18, 2018, 

the date of publication date of the Final 

Results, 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 final results of this review, except if 

the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, 

therefore, de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; (2) for previously investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, 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 

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent segment for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 4.38 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.15 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 double 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 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of return/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. 

These amended final results and 

notice are issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(h) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
