entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties, where applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit for antidumping 

duties equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which the NV exceeds U.S. 

price. The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

from China entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the publication date of this notice, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act: (1) For the exporters listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the rate is de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash 

deposit rate will be zero for that 

exporter); (2) for previously investigated 

or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

not listed above that have separate rates, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters 

of subject merchandise which have not 

been found to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 

238.95 percent 20) and (4) for all nonPRC exporters of subject merchandise 

that have not received their own rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to China exporter that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties and/or 

countervailing 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 

and/or countervailing duties has 

occurred, and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties and/or an increase in the amount 

of antidumping duties by the amount of 

the countervailing 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 and 19 

CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).

(Commerce) is amending its Preliminary 

Determination of the antidumping duty 

investigation of certain cold-drawn 

mechanical tubing of carbon and alloy 

steel (mechanical tubing) from India. 

We are correcting a ministerial error 

with respect to certain steel grades 

reported by one of the mandatory 

respondents, Goodluck India Limited. 

The period of investigation (POI) is 

April 1, 2016, through March 31, 2017. 

DATES: Applicable January 9, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: On 

November 22, 2017, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Preliminary Determination that 

mechanical tubing from India is being, 

or is likely to be, sold in the United 

States at less than fair value (LTFV), as 

provided in section 733 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act).1 On 

November 22, 2017, ArcelorMittal 

Tubular Products, Michigan Seamless 

Tube LLC, Plymouth Tube Co., USA, 

PTC Alliance Corp., Webco Industries, 

Inc. and Zekelman Industries, Inc. 

(collectively, the petitioners) filed 

timely allegations of ministerial errors 

contained in Commerce’s Preliminary 

Determination.2 On November 27, 2017, 

Goodluck filed timely allegations of 

ministerial errors contained in 

Commerce’s Preliminary 

Determination.3

Scope of Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is mechanical tubing from 

India. For a full description of the scope 

of this investigation, see the ‘‘Scope of 

the Investigation,’’ in the Appendix to 

this notice. 

Significant Ministerial Error 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and 

(g)(1), Commerce is amending the 

Preliminary Determination to reflect the 

correction of a significant ministerial 

error it made in the margin assigned to 

Goodluck, a mandatory respondent. A 

ministerial error is defined as an error 

in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical error 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

similar type of unintentional error 

which the Secretary considers 

ministerial.4 A significant ministerial 

error is defined as a ministerial 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

11Commerce did not have updated publicly 

ranged U.S. sales value information for TPI. As a 

result, Commerce could not perform a weightedaverage calculation for non-selected respondents for 

this amended preliminary determination.

Determination. 

less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in 

the original (erroneous) preliminary 

determination, or (2) a difference 

between a weighted-average dumping 

margin of zero or de minimis and a 

weighted-average dumping margin of 

greater than de minimis or vice versa.5

As a result of this amended preliminary 

determination, we have applied an 

antidumping duty margin to Goodluck, 

as noted below in the ‘‘Amended 

Preliminary Determination’’ section. 

Ministerial Error Allegations 

On November 22, 2017, the 

petitioners submitted a ministerial error 

allegation claiming that Commerce 

incorrectly reclassified certain grades of 

steel reported by Goodluck in the 

Preliminary Determination.6 Commerce 

reviewed the record and agrees that this 

constitutes a significant ministerial error 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.224(g) and have recalculated 

Goodluck’s dumping margin.7 This error 

was significant because Goodluck’s 

margin increased from 0.00 percent to 

4.02 percent.8

On November 27, 2017, Goodluck also 

submitted a ministerial error allegation 

claiming that Commerce incorrectly 

reclassified certain grades of steel 

reported by Goodluck in the Preliminary 

Determination.9 Commerce reviewed 

the record and does not find that this 

constitutes a ministerial error within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(g) and have 

made no changes to the Preliminary 

Determination based on this 

allegation.10

Amended Preliminary Determination 

We are amending the Preliminary 

Determination of sales at LTFV for 

mechanical tubing from India to reflect 

the correction of a significant 

ministerial error made in the margin 

calculation for Goodluck. In addition, 

because the preliminary ‘‘All-Others’’ 

rate was based on the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for Tube Products of India, 

Ltd., we are also amending the ‘‘AllOthers’’ rate. We have calculated a 

simple margin for non-selected 

respondents using the average of the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins of the two individually selected 

respondents, Goodluck and TPI.11 As a 

result of the correction of the ministerial 

error, the revised weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows:

Amended Cash Deposits and 

Suspension of Liquidation 

The collection of cash deposits and 

suspension of liquidation will be 

revised according to the rates 

established in this amended preliminary 

determination, in accordance with 

section 733(d) and (f) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.224. Because Goodluck’s rate is 

increasing from the Preliminary 

Determination, the amended cash 

deposit rates will be effective on the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. Because the correction 

of the error for Goodluck results in a 

reduced cash deposit rate for companies 

covered by the ‘‘all others’’ rate, the 

revised rate calculated for the ‘‘all 

others’’ rate will be effective 

retroactively to November 22, 2017, the 

date of publication of the Preliminary 

Determination. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, we notified the International 

Trade Commission of our amended 

preliminary determination. 

This amended preliminary 

determination is issued and published 

in accordance with sections 733(f) and 

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

351.224(e). 

Dated: January 3, 2018.

Appendix 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of this investigation covers colddrawn mechanical tubing of carbon and alloy 

steel (cold-drawn mechanical tubing) of 

circular cross-section, 304.8 mm or more in 

length, in actual outside diameters less than 

331mm, and regardless of wall thickness, 

surface finish, end finish or industry 

specification. The subject cold-drawn 

mechanical tubing is a tubular product with 

a circular cross-sectional shape that has been 

cold-drawn or otherwise cold-finished after 

the initial tube formation in a manner that 

involves a change in the diameter or wall 

thickness of the tubing, or both. The subject 

cold-drawn mechanical tubing may be 

produced from either welded (e.g., electric 

resistance welded, continuous welded, etc.) 

or seamless (e.g., pierced, pilgered or 

extruded, etc.) carbon or alloy steel tubular 

products. It may also be heat treated after 

cold working. Such heat treatments may 

include, but are not limited to, annealing, 

normalizing, quenching and tempering, stress 

relieving or finish annealing. Typical colddrawing methods for subject merchandise 

include, but are not limited to, drawing over 

mandrel, rod drawing, plug drawing, sink 

drawing and similar processes that involve 

reducing the outside diameter of the tubing 

with a die or similar device, whether or not 

controlling the inside diameter of the tubing 

with an internal support device such as a 

mandrel, rod, plug or similar device. Other 

cold-finishing operations that may be used to 

produce subject merchandise include coldrolling and cold-sizing the tubing. 

Subject cold-drawn mechanical tubing is 

typically certified to meet industry 

specifications for cold-drawn tubing 

including but not limited to: 

(1) American Society for Testing and 

Materials (ASTM) or American Society of 

Mechanical Engineers (ASME) specifications

The subject cold-drawn mechanical tubing 

may also be dual or multiple certified to 

more than one standard. Pipe that is multiple 

certified as cold-drawn mechanical tubing 

and to other specifications not covered by 

this scope, is also covered by the scope of 

this investigation when it meets the physical 

description set forth above. 

Steel products included in the scope of this 

investigation are products in which: (1) Iron 

predominates, by weight, over each of the 

other contained elements; and (2) the carbon 

content is 2 percent or less by weight. 

For purposes of this scope, the place of 

cold-drawing determines the country of 

origin of the subject merchandise. Subject 

merchandise that is subject to minor working 

in a third country that occurs after drawing 

in one of the subject countries including, but 

not limited to, heat treatment, cutting to 

length, straightening, nondestruction testing, 

deburring or chamfering, remains within the 

scope of this investigation.
