Final Results of Review

    As a result of this review, we determine that the following 
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2021, 
through April 30, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-

Corinth Pipeworks Pipe Industry S.A........................        0.00

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with these final results of review to interested parties 
within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if 
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of 
publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    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.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific 
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount 
of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total 
entered value of those sales. Where either 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 de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by CPW 
for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation of 10.26 percent ad valorem,\11\ if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Order, 84 FR at 18769.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments 
of 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) of the 
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for CPW will be zero, as established in 
these final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by 
producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a 
prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed 
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV 
investigation but the producer has been covered in a prior completed 
segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the 
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 10.26 percent, the 
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation for this 
proceeding.\12\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility

[[Page 88575]]

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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the 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/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 which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: December 15, 2023.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
