FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Shuler or Jennifer Meek, AD/CVD

Background

    On June 5, 2015, the Department disclosed to interested parties its 
calculations for the Final Results.\2\ On June 10, 2015, we received a 
timely ministerial error allegation from domestic interested parties 
(Allied Tube & Conduit and TMK IPSCO) regarding the Department's margin 
calculation for Hyundai HYSCO (HYSCO).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See ``Final Results Calculation Memorandum for Hyundai 
HYSCO,'' dated June 3, 2015.
    \3\ See ``Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Korea: 
Ministerial Error Comments,'' dated June 10, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is circular welded non-alloy 
steel pipe and tube. The product is currently classified under the 
following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 
subheadings: 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 
7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90. 
Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written product description remains dispositive.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a complete description of the scope of the order, see 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum accompanying the Final Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ministerial Error

    Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
and 19 CFR 351.224(f) define a ``ministerial error'' as an error ``in 
addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error 
resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any 
similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers 
ministerial.'' We analyzed the ministerial error allegation and 
determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.224(e), that we made a ministerial error in our calculation of 
HYSCO's margin for the Final Results by inadvertently excluding from 
the comparison market program certain of HYSCO's home market sales 
observations.
    In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 
we are amending the Final Results with respect to HYSCO.\5\ The revised 
weighted-average dumping margin for HYSCO is detailed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum from Joseph Shuler, International Trade 
Analyst, to James Maeder, Senior Director, Office I, ``Ministerial 
Error Allegation in the 2012-2013 Administrative Review of the 
Antidumping Duty Order on Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from 
Republic of Korea.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amended Final Results

    As a result of correcting this ministerial error, we determine that 
the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period 
November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                     Producer/exporter                         dumping
                                                               margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai HYSCO.............................................         0.81
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) and (C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), the Department 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. The Department intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these 
amended final results of review.
    For assessment purposes, HYSCO reported the name of the importer of 
record and the entered value for all of their sales to the United 
States during the period of review (POR). Accordingly, we calculated 
importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rates on the 
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the 
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those same 
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 
percent), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2).
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by HYSCO 
for which it did not know were 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 or companies involved in 
the transaction. For a full discussion of this clarification, see 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of 
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of amended final results of administrative 
review for all shipments of subject merchandise entered or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption, on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate 
for HYSCO will be equal to the respective weighted-average dumping 
margin established in the final results of this review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published 
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which 
that manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not 
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding for the manufacturer of subject merchandise; and (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will 
continue to be 4.80 percent, the ``all others'' rate established 
pursuant to a court decision.\6\ These cash 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 this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department'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 a 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.

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations used in our analysis to parties 
to these proceedings within five days of the date of publication of 
this notice pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b).
    These amended final results of administrative review are issued and 
published in accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the 
Actand 19 CFR 351.224(f).

    Dated: July 10, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
