Background
On August 21, 2012, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain small diameter carbon and alloy
seamless standard, line and pressure pipe from Romania. See Certain
Small Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure
Pipe From Romania: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 77 FR 50465 (August 21, 2012) (Preliminary
Results). We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results, but we received no comments.
The Department has conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products subject to the order are small diameter seamless
carbon and alloy (other than stainless) steel standard, line, and
pressure pipes and redraw hollows. The products are typically
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) at subheadings: 7304.10.10.20, 7304.10.50.20, 7304.19.10.20,
7304.19.50.20, 7304.31.30.00, 7304.31.60.50, 7304.39.00.16,
7304.39.00.20, 7304.39.00.24, 7304.39.00.28, 7304.39.00.32,
7304.51.50.05, 7304.51.50.60, 7304.59.60.00, 7304.59.80.10,
7304.59.80.15, 7304.59.80.20, and 7304.59.80.25. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written product descriptions, available in Notice of Amended Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty
Order: Certain Small Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line
and Pressure Pipe From Romania, 65 FR 48963 (August 10, 2000), remains
dispositive.
Final Results of the Review
We have made no changes to our calculations announced in the
Preliminary Results. As a result of our review, we determine that a
weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for
ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Roman S.A. for the period August 1,
2010, through July 31, 2011.
Assessment Rates
In accordance with the Final Modification, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate the entries covered by
this review without regard to antidumping duties. See Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification).
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the period of review produced by AMTP for which it
did not know its merchandise 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. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see
[[Page 67337]]
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions directly to
CBP 15 days after publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of this notice 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
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Roman S.A.
will be 0.00 percent; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or
exporters not covered in this review but covered in the original less-
than-fair-value investigation or previous reviews, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (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 recent period 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 Notice
of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and

Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe From Romania, 65 FR 48963
(August 10, 2000). These cash deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notifications
This notice 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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the
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.
We are issuing and publishing these results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: November 2, 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
