Background
On February 3, 2017, the Department published the Preliminary
Results in the Federal Register.\1\ From February 15 through February

and sales questionnaire responses.\2\ We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results (inclusive of verification
findings). However, no interested party submitted comments or requested
a hearing. For the final results, we made certain changes to our
preliminary margin calculations based on verification findings.\3\ The
Department conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
We made certain changes to the preliminary margin calculations
based on verification findings. As no parties commented on the
Preliminary Results, an Issues and Decision Memorandum has not been
prepared. Instead, the changes to the margin calculation are detailed
in the Final Results Calculation Memorandum.
Final Results of 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)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Siam Industrial Wire Co., Ltd.......................... 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 SIW in the final
results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of
PC strand from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for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 SIW 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 recently completed 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 12.91
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 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).
Dated: May 24, 2017.
