SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 10, 2021, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

preliminary affirmative determination 

in the LTFV investigation of seamless 

pipe from Ukraine.1 Commerce invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Determination. The 

mandatory respondent in this 

investigation is Interpipe, the collapsed 

entity which includes Interpipe Ukraine 

LLC (Interpipe Ukraine), PJSC Interpipe 

Niznedneprovksy Tube Rolling Plant 

(NTRP), and LLC Interpipe Niko Tube 

(Niko Tube). For a complete description 

of the events that followed the 

Preliminary Determination, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 The 

Issues and 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 Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are seamless pipe from 

Ukraine. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

We did not receive comments from 

interested parties on the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.3 As 

discussed in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

codified the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice to 

clarify certain exclusions. See the scope 

in Appendix I to this notice. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs that were submitted by 

parties in this investigation are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the sections of 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

are in Appendix II of this notice. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).4

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the comments received from parties and 

our findings related to our request for 

information in lieu of verification, we 

made certain changes to our 

calculations of the dumping margin for 

the sole respondent, Interpipe. For a 

complete discussion of these changes, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and Final Analysis 

Memorandum.5

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act. Pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for all exporters and 

producers individually examined are 

zero, de minimis or determined based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, 

Commerce may use any reasonable 

method to establish the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

all other producers or exporters. 

Because the only individually 

calculated dumping margin is not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available, we assigned the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for Interpipe to all 

other producers and exporters of subject 

merchandise, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows:

Disclosure 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b), within five days after the 

date of any public announcement of the 

final determination or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, we 

intend to disclose to parties to this 

proceeding the calculations performed 

in this final determination. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

seamless pipe from Ukraine, as 

described in Appendix I of this notice, 

which were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

February 10, 2021, the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the affirmative Preliminary 

Determination. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

for such entries of merchandise equal to 

the following: (1) The cash deposit rate 

for the respondent listed in the table 

above will be equal to the respondentspecific estimated dumping margin 

listed for the respondent in the table; (2) 

if the exporter is not identified in the 

table above but the producer is, then the 

cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

respondent-specific estimated dumping 

margin established for that producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (3) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

and exporters will be equal to the allothers estimated dumping margin listed 

in the table above. These suspension-ofliquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of this final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. Because Commerce’s final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) of 

seamless pipe no later than 45 days after 

this final determination. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does not 

exist, this proceeding will be 

terminated, all cash deposits posted will 

be refunded, and suspension of 

liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

Commerce will issue an antidumping 

duty order directing CBP to assess, upon 

further instruction by Commerce, 

antidumping duties on all imports of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice will serve as a final 

reminder to the parties subject to 

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). Timely 

written notification of 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 

This determination and this notice are 

issued and published pursuant to 

sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: June 25, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 10, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination of sales at LTFV of 

seamless pipe from Korea, in which we 

also postponed the final determination 

to June 25, 2021.1 On March 25, 2021, 

Commerce published its PostPreliminary Determination with respect 

to the particular market situation 

analysis.2 We invited interested parties 

to comment on the Preliminary 

Determination and the Post-Preliminary 

Determination. The mandatory 

respondent in this investigation is ILJIN 

Steel Corporation (ILJIN). For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the Preliminary Determination, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3 The Issues and 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 Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is seamless pipe from 

Korea. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

We did not receive comments from 

interested parties on the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.4 As 

discussed in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

modified the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice to 

clarify certain exclusions. See the scope 

in Appendix I to this notice. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

topics included in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included as 

Appendix II to this notice. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).5

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculations for 

ILJIN. We have also revised the allothers rate. For a complete discussion of 

these changes, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated all-others 

rate shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for ILJIN, the only individually 

examined exporter/producer in this 

investigation. Because the only 

individually calculated dumping margin 

is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for ILJIN is the 

margin assigned to all other producers 

and exporters, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows:
