SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 2, 2023, based on timely 

requests for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on welded line 

pipe from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea).1 On February 14, 2023, 

NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. (NEXTEEL) timely 

withdrew its request for review.2 On 

March 10 and 14, 2023, Hyundai Steel 

Company (Hyundai Steel) and Husteel 

Co., Ltd. (Husteel), respectively, timely 

withdrew their requests for review.3 On 

August 10, 2023, we extended the 

preliminary results of this review to no 

later than December 20, 2023.4

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.5 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an appendix to this notice. 

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 https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is welded line pipe from Korea. The 

product is currently classified under the 

following Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings: 7305.11.1030, 

7305.11.1060, 7305.11.5000, 

7305.12.1030, 7305.12.1060,

7306.19.5150. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and for customs purposes, 

the written product description remains 

dispositive. For a complete description 

of the scope of the Order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

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

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested a review

withdraws its request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of notice of 

initiation. As noted above, the following 

companies timely withdrew their 

review requests and no other party 

requested an administrative review of 

these companies: Husteel, Hyundai 

Steel, and NEXTEEL. Therefore, we are 

rescinding this administrative review 

with respect to these companies, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Constructed export price is calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists for the period December 1, 2021, 

through November 30, 2022: 

Producer/exporter

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

to interested parties within five days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice.6 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed not later than 

five days after the date for filing case 

briefs.7 Interested parties who submit 

case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding must submit: (1) a table of 

contents listing each issue; and (2) a 

table of authorities.8 All briefs must be 

filed electronically using ACCESS. An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully in its entirety in 

ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

the established deadline. 

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their briefs that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.9 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the executive 

summaries as the basis of the comment 

summaries included in the issues and 

decision memorandum that will 

accompany the final results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).10

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the briefs. If 

a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce will inform parties of the 

scheduled date for the hearing.11

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuing the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), SeAH did not report 

actual entered value for all of its U.S. 

sales; in such instances, we calculated 

importer-specific per-unit duty 

assessment rates by aggregating the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales and 

dividing this amount by the total 

quantity of those sales. 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. 

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by SeAH for which it did not know that 

the merchandise it 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. 

Because Commerce is rescinding this 

review with respect to Husteel, Hyundai 

Steel, and NEXTEEL, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR for 

these companies at rates equal to the 

cash deposit rate of estimated 

antidumping duties required at the time 

of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends 

to issue its rescission instructions to 

CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 

regarding SeAH no earlier than 35 days 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review in the Federal 

Register. If a timely summons is filed at 

the U.S. Court of International Trade, 

the assessment instructions will direct 

CBP not to liquidate relevant entries 

until the time for parties to file a request 

for a statutory injunction has expired 

(i.e., within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the 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 the 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 or 

reviewed companies not covered in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific 

cash deposit 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 lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recent segment for the

requirements, when imposed, shall

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) 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 Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: December 20, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This administrative review covers one 

producer/exporter of silicon metal from 

Malaysia, PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd (PMB 

Silicon).1 On September 12, 2023, 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review 

and invited parties to comment.2 No 

interested party submitted comments on 

the Preliminary Results.3 Accordingly, 

the final results remain unchanged from 

the Preliminary Results.4 Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 5

The merchandise under review is all 

forms and sizes of silicon metal, 

including silicon metal powder. Silicon 

metal contains at least 85.00 percent but 

less than 99.99 percent silicon, and less 

than 4.00 percent iron, by actual weight. 

Semiconductor grade silicon 

(merchandise containing at least 99.99 

percent silicon by actual weight and 

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading 2804.61.0000) is excluded 

from the scope of this review. 

Silicon metal is currently classifiable 

under subheadings 2804.69.1000 and 

2804.69.5000 of the HTSUS. Although 

the HTSUS numbers are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

under review is dispositive. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin exists for the period 

February 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd .......... 0.00 

Disclosure 

Because Commerce received no 

comments on the Preliminary Results, 

we have not modified our analysis and 

no decision memorandum accompanies 

this Federal Register notice. We are 

adopting the Preliminary Results as the 

final results of this review. 

Consequently, there are no new 

calculations to disclose in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final 

results. 

Assessment Rates 

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

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

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Where the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

either zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 

0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Accordingly, because PMB Silicon’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero percent, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by PMB 

Silicon for which it did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.6

We intend to instruct CBP to take into 

account the ‘‘provisional measures 

deposit cap,’’ in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(d). Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication).
