Ukraine LLC and North American Interpipe Inc. with respect to the final 
results of the administrative review of oil country tubular goods 
(OCTG) from Ukraine during the period of review (POR) July 10, 2019,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 10, 2022, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
published the final results of its administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on OCTG from Ukraine.\1\ The POR is July 10, 
2019 through June 30, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Oil Country Tubular Goods from Ukraine: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2019-2020, 87 FR 7801 
(February 10, 2022) (Final Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The administrative review covers Interpipe,\2\ a producer and 
exporter of OCTG from Ukraine to the United States. In the Final 
Results, Commerce assigned to Interpipe a weighted-average dumping 
margin of 27.80 percent for the POR.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Commerce has previously determined that Interpipe Europe 
S.A.; Interpipe Ukraine LLC; PJSC Interpipe Niznedneprovsky Tube 
Rolling Plant; and LLC Interpipe Niko Tube are affiliated and 
treated as a single entity (i.e., Interpipe).
    \3\ See Final Results at 87 FR 7801.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Following the publication of the Final Results, Interpipe filed a 
lawsuit with the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) challenging 
certain aspects of Commerce's Final Results including Commerce's 
decision not to grant a constructed export price offset to Interpipe 
and Commerce's decision to include Section 232 duties in the U.S. price 
when calculating the margin.
    On April 30, 2024, the United States and Interpipe entered into an 
agreement to settle this dispute. Pursuant to the terms of settlement 
and the stipulation for entry of judgment, the amended final weighted-
average dumping margin for Interpipe is 0.01 percent. The CIT issued 
its order of judgment by stipulation on May 2, 2024.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Interpipe Ukraine LLC and North America Interpipe, Inc. 
v. United States, Court No. 22-00066, Doc. No. 36 (May 2, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Consistent with the settlement agreement and May 2, 2024, order of 
judgment by stipulation, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) to liquidate all unliquidated entries of OCTG from 
Ukraine produced and exported by Interpipe, and entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption in the United States during the POR at 
the importer-specific per-unit assessment rates determined by setting 
Interpipe's weighted-average dumping margin at 0.01 percent (de 
minimis). Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (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 these revised final results of review.\5\ For 
Interpipe, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the 
basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated 
for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the 
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Because Interpipe's 
weighted average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the 
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Interpipe for which it 
did not know that the merchandise was 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(ies) involved in 
the transaction.\6\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Because Interpipe has a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there 
have been final results published in a subsequent administrative 
review, we will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP. 
This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rate for 
Interpipe.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing this determination and publishing these amended 
final results and notice in accordance with section 516a(e) of the Act.

    Dated: May 2, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
