regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Secretary’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and 

increase the subsequent assessment of 

the antidumping duties by the amount 

of the antidumping duties 

reimbursement. 

The preliminary results of review are 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the

(202) 482–1168 or (202) 482–1167, 

respectively. 

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain pasta 

(pasta) from Italy. The period of review 

(POR) is July 1, 2016, through June 30, 

2017. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the 

Order 1 is certain pasta from Italy and is 

currently classifiable under items 

1901.90.90.95 and 1902.19.20 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

subject to the order is dispositive. A full 

description of the scope of the Order is 

contained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.2

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). Constructed export price or export 

price is calculated in accordance with 

section 772 of the Act. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our 

preliminary results, see Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov and is 

available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, Room B–8024 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision memorandum can 

be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an Appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

calculated a weighted-average dumping 

margin of 5.97 percent for Ghigi/Zara 

and a de minimis margin for Indalco for 

the period July 1, 2016, through June 30, 

2017. Therefore, in accordance with 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we 

assigned the weighted-average dumping 

margin of 5.97 percent calculated for 

Ghigi/Zara to the seven non-selected 

companies in these preliminary results, 

as referenced below.

Assessment Rate 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. If the weighted-average 

dumping margin for Ghigi/Zara or 

Indalco is above de minimis (i.e., more 

than 0.5 percent) in the final results of 

this review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).8 If the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Ghigi/Zara or Indalco is zero or de 

minimis in the final results of review, 

we will instruct CBP not to assess duties 

on any of their entries in accordance 

with the Final Modification for 

Reviews.9

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by each 

respondent for which they did not know 

that their merchandise was destined for 

the United States, 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 instructions to 

CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of administrative review for all 

shipments of pasta from Italy entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

of the final results of this administrative 

review, as provided by section 751(a)(2) 

of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for 

respondents noted above will be the rate 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation, but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers or 

exporters will continue to be 15.45 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the antidumping investigation as 

modified by the section 129 

determination.10 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice.
