SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Background On January 28, 2021, Commerce published the 
                    *Preliminary Results.*[1]
                    
                     On November 8, 2021, we received case briefs from Maverick Tube Corporation, Tenaris Bay City, Inc., and IPSCO Tubulars, Inc. (collectively, the petitioners) and from SeAH Steel VINA Corporation (SeAH VINA) and Pusan Pipe America, Inc. (Pusan Pipe) (collectively, SSV).[2]
                    
                     On November 15, 2021, the petitioners and SSV submitted rebuttal briefs.[3]
                    
                     On March 16, 2022, Commerce rejected the case briefs of the petitioners and SSV because they contained new factual information after the deadline for such information.[4]
                    
                     The petitioners and SSV submitted redacted versions of their case briefs on March 18, 2022.[5]
                    
                     On January 28, 2022, we extended the deadline for the final results of this review until April 5, 2022.[6] For a complete description of the events that followed the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     of this administrative review,

                    *see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with these final results and hereby adopted by this notice.[7]
                    
                     Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on OCTG from Vietnam [8]
                    
                     in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     is OCTG from Vietnam. For a full description of the merchandise covered by the scope of the 
                    *Order, see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received Commerce addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as the appendix. 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 
                    *https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.* Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we made certain changes to the margin calculation for SSV. For a discussion of the issues, 
                    *see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Separate Rates No parties commented on our preliminary separate rate findings. Therefore, we have continued to grant SSV separate rate status. Final Results of Review Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period September 1, 2019, through August 31, 2020: Exporter

 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these final results of review within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment 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. Consistent with its recent notice,[10]
                    
                     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). Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or where an importer- (or customer-) specific 
                    *ad valorem*
                     or per-unit rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.[11]
                    
                     For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, but that entered under the case number of that exporter (
                    *i.e.,*
                     at the individually-examined exporter's cash deposit rate), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the Vietnam-wide rate (
                    *i.e.,*
                     111.47 percent).[12] For the individually-examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     0.50 percent), Commerce 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). Additionally, if Commerce determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under the exporter's case number (
                    *i.e.,*
                     at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the Vietnam-wide rate.[13] Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For SeAH VINA, a cash deposit rate of 1.49 percent; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese exporters not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most-recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the exporter was reviewed; (3) for all Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the Vietnam-wide entity, which is 111.47 percent; [14]
                    
                     and (4) for all non-Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Vietnamese exporter that supplied that non-Vietnamese exporter with the 
                    ( print page 21096)
                    subject merchandise. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties 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 the 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 doubled antidumping duties. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to 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), 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 this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.213, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: April 5, 2022. Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

                         Commerce initiated a review of both SeAH VINA and Pusan Pipe, but the record shows that Pusan Pipe is a U.S. importer of OCTG that is affiliated with SeAH VINA and does not produce OCTG.
