Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    As no parties submitted comments on the margin calculation 
methodology used in the Preliminary Results, the Department made no 
adjustments to that methodology in the final results of this review.

Final Results of the 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)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
S.C. Silcotub S.A..........................................        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 Silcotub in the 
final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 
without regard to antidumping duties all shipments of subject 
merchandise manufactured and exported by Silcotub, entered or withdrawn 
from warehouse during the POR.
    The Department intends to issue the appropriate assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these 
final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of 
certain small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line and 
pressure pipe from Romania entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 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 entries of subject 
merchandise manufactured and/or exported by Silcotub 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 recentlycompleted 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 13.06 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

[[Page 44562]]

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).
