SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 2017, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results in the Federal Register.\1\ From February 15 through February 
24, 2017, and March 21 through March 23, 2017, we verified SIW's cost 
and sales questionnaire responses.\2\ We invited interested parties to 
comment on the Preliminary Results (inclusive of verification 
findings). However, no interested party submitted comments or requested 
a hearing. For the final results, we made certain changes to our 
preliminary margin calculations based on verification findings.\3\ The 
Department conducted this administrative review in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    We made certain changes to the preliminary margin calculations 
based on verification findings. As no parties commented on the 
Preliminary Results, an Issues and Decision Memorandum has not been 
prepared. Instead, the changes to the margin calculation are detailed 
in the Final Results Calculation Memorandum.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of this review, the Department determines that the 
following weighted-average dumping margin exists for entries of subject 
merchandise that were produced and/or exported by the following company 
during the POR:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                   Manufacturer/exporter                        margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Siam Industrial Wire Co., Ltd..........................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, 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, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b). Because we calculated a zero margin for SIW in the final 
results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of 
PC strand from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication date as provided by section 
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for SIW will be zero; 
(2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered 
in this review but covered in a completed prior segment of the 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment; (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 for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 12.91 
percent, the all-others rate established in the Order. These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), this notice also serves as 
a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) 
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under the APO, 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 terms of an APO 
is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We intend to issue and publish these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 
351.221(b)(5).
