SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 19, 2017, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary determination of the CVD 

investigation of cast iron soil pipe 

fittings from China.1 On December 18, 

2017, Wor-Biz International Trading 

Co., Ltd. (Anhui) (Wor-Biz) timely 

alleged that Commerce made a 

significant ministerial error in the 

Preliminary Determination. 

Significant Ministerial Error 

A ministerial error, as defined in 

section 705(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), includes ‘‘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.’’ 2 With respect to 

preliminary determinations, 19 CFR 

351.224(e) provides that Commerce 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and, if appropriate, correct any 

significant ministerial error by 

amending the preliminary 

determination. . . .’’ A significant 

ministerial error is defined as an error, 

the correction of which, singly or in 

combination with other errors, would 

result in: (1) A change of at least five 

absolute percentage points in, but not 

less than 25 percent of, the 

countervailable subsidy rate calculated 

in the original (erroneous) preliminary 

determination; or (2) a difference 

between a countervailable subsidy rate 

of zero (or de minimis) and a 

countervailable subsidy rate of greater 

than de minimis, or vice versa.3

Ministerial Error Allegation 

Wor-Biz alleges that, in the 

Preliminary Determination, Commerce 

erred in calculating the benchmark 

prices for the Provision of Pig Iron for 

LTAR and the Provision of Ferrous 

Scrap for LTAR programs by 

unintentionally double-counting the 

distance for inland freight. We agree. 

Therefore, as explained in the 

Ministerial Error Memorandum issued 

concurrently with this notice,4 and 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (g), 

Commerce is amending the Preliminary 

Determination to reflect the correction 

of a significant ministerial error made in 

the calculation of the subsidy rate for 

Wor-Biz. 

Amended Preliminary Determination 

We are amending the preliminary 

subsidy rate for Wor-Biz pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.224(e). In addition, because the 

preliminary ‘‘All-Others’’ Rate was 

based on the weighted average of the 

subsidy rates calculated for Wor-Biz and 

Shanxi Xuanshi Industrial Group Co., 

Ltd,5 we are also amending the ‘‘AllOthers’’ rate to account for the change 

in Wor-Biz’s subsidy rate. Further, 

because the adverse facts available rate 

assigned to the non-cooperative 

respondent Shijiazhuang Chengmei 

Import & Export Co., Ltd. was 

determined using, in part, the highest 

calculated program-specific rates 

determined for the cooperating 

respondents,6 we are also amending the 

adverse facts available rate to account 

for our correction of Wor-Biz’s Provision 

of Pig Iron for LTAR and Provision of 

Ferrous Scrap for LTAR program rates.7

The revised subsidy rates are as follows: 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Shanxi Xuanshi Industrial 

Group Co., Ltd .................. 8 8.66 

Wor-Biz International Trading 

Co., Ltd. (Anhui) ................ 7.37 

All-Others .............................. 8.12 

Shijiazhuang Chengmei Import & Export Co., Ltd ....... 96.96 

This amended preliminary 

determination is published in 

accordance with sections 705(e) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.224(e) and (g).

No other party requested an

Partial Rescission of the 2016–2017 

Administrative Review 

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

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the parties 

that requested a review withdraw the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. All of the 

aforementioned withdrawal requests 

were timely submitted and no other 

interested party requested an 

administrative review of these particular 

companies. Therefore, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and 

consistent with our practice,8 we are 

rescinding this review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain pasta 

from Italy, in part, with respect to 

Andalini, DeLuca, GR.A.M.M., La 

Molisana, Tamma, and Zaffiri. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. For the companies for which 

this review is rescinded, Andalini, 

DeLuca, GR.A.M.M., La Molisana, 

Tamma, and Zaffiri, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed at rates equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period July 1, 

2016, through June 30, 2017, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

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

issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

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 and/or countervailing 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an 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/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 violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
