Use of Adverse Facts Available (AFA)

    As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we continue to 
assign to the mandatory respondent in this administrative review, Pipe 
& Piling,\6\ an estimated weighted-average dumping margin based on AFA, 
pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of Act.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In the Preliminary Results, we found that Pipe & Piling is 
affiliated with 1045761 Ontario Ltd. (Phoenix) and
    Spiralco Inc. (Spiralco) and that they should be collapsed and 
treated as a single entity. See Preliminary Results PDM at 1.

    Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 
2023:

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with a final results of review 
within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public 
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice 
of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b). However, because we have made no changes to the application 
of AFA to Pipe & Piling from the Preliminary Results, there are no 
calculations to disclose.

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 final results of 
this review.
    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).

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shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 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 the publication date in the 
Federal Register 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 Pipe & Piling will be equal to the dumping margin established in 
the final results of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or 
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit will continue 
to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently 
completed segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the 
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established 
for the most recent segment for the producer of the merchandise; and 
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will 
continue to be 12.32 percent, the all-others rate established in the 
LTFV investigation.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

    \8\ See Order, 85 FR 18776.

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 POR. 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.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: October 25, 2024.
