SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 6, 2022, Commerce published the preliminary results of this 
administrative review.\1\ The review covers one producer or exporter: 
Evraz Inc. NA (Evraz).\2\ We invited interested parties to comment on 
the Preliminary Results. A summary of the events that occurred since 
Commerce published the Preliminary Results, as well as a full 
discussion of the issues raised by parties for these final results, are 
discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\3\ Commerce conducted 
this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial 
Rescission of Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 87 FR 34249 (June 6, 
2022) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.
    \2\ In the underlying investigation, Commerce treated Evraz Inc. 
NA, Evraz Inc. NA Canada, and the Canadian National Steel 
Corporation (collectively, Evraz) as a single entity. See Large 
Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada: Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 
18775, 18776 (May 2, 2019) (Order). There is no information on this 
record of this review that requires reconsideration of this single 
entity determination.
    \3\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Large 
Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada; 2020-2021,'' dated concurrently 
with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision 
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The product covered by this Order is large diameter welded pipe 
from Canada. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see

average dumping margin exists for the POR:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                    Exporter or producer                       dumping
                                                                margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evraz Inc. NA \5\..........................................       36.02
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these 
final results within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ As noted above, the Evraz single entity includes: Evraz Inc. 
NA; Evraz Inc. NA Canada; and the Canadian National Steel 
Corporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    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 these final results of 
review.\6\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Evraz reported the entered 
value of its U.S. sales such that we calculated importer-specific ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent's 
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the 
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment 
rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Evraz for which the 
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary 
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the 
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\7\ Commerce 
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days 
after the date of publication of the final results of this review in 
the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Evraz Inc. NA 
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin that is 
established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed companies not subject to this review, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published 
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the 
company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate established for the most recently completed segment of the 
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 
12.32 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate established in the LTFV 
investigation.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

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

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction 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, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 17, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
