------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce will disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with the final results of a review to interested parties 
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final 
results in the Federal Register.\7\ However, because Commerce made no 
change to the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculation 
for Interpipe, there are no calculations to disclose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 19 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 these final results 
of review.\8\ For Interpipe, we will calculate importer-specific 
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 the sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is 
not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the 
appropriate duties at the time of liquidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Interpipe for which it 
did not know that the 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 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 Interpipe will 
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in these 
final results; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies 
not listed above, the cash deposit rate 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 in a prior segment of 
the proceeding, but the producer was covered, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of 
this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 
the all-others rate of 7.47 percent established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Order, 84 FR at 33919.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash 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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
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 the return or 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 12, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
