The products covered by this order are welded carbon steel standard pipe and tube products with an outside diameter of 0.375 inch or more but not over 16 inches of any wall thickness, and are currently classified under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90. Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under investigation is dispositive. These products, commonly referred to in the industry as standard pipe or tube, are produced to various ASTM specifications, most notably A-120, A-53 or A- 135. Legal Framework Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), defines ``ministerial errors'' as including ``errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which the administering authority considers ministerial.'' With respect to final results of an administrative review, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any comments received and, if appropriate, correct any ministerial error by amending . . . the final results of review . . . .'' See 19 CFR 351.224(f). Ministerial Error Allegation In its ministerial error allegation, Borusan argues that Commerce set the incorrect beginning window period for matching home market and U.S. sales in Commerce's margin program. Accordingly, Borusan argues Commerce should correct the beginning window period date to three months preceding the earliest U.S. date of sale for merchandise entering the United States during the POR, consistent with 19 CFR 351.414(f). See Borusan's Ministerial Error Comments. Id. We agree with Borusan that Commerce committed an inadvertent error within the meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) when setting the beginning window period date for U.S. sales in our margin program. Consistent with 19 CFR 351.414(f), we intended to set the beginning window period date to three months preceding the earliest U.S. date of sale for merchandise entering the United States during the POR. Amended Final Results After analyzing Borusan's comments, we have determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that we made a ministerial error in the Final Results with respect to Borusan's margin programming. For a detailed discussion of this ministerial error, as well as Commerce's analysis of this error, see the Ministerial Error Memorandum. See Memorandum, ``2017-2018 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Circular Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey: Allegation of Ministerial Errors in the Final Results,'' dated concurrently with this Federal Register notice (Ministerial Error Memorandum). In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results of this administrative review of pipes and tubes from Turkey. As a result of correcting the ministerial error, we determined that the dumping margin calculated for Borusan and the non-selected companies in these amended final results is as follows: Consistent with the Final Results, Commerce assigns to the companies not individually examined (i.e., Kale Baglanti Teknolojileri San. ve Tic.; Noksel Selik Boru Sanayi A.S.; and Cinar Boru Profil San. ve Tic. As) the weighted average dumping margin calculated for Borusan in these amended final results, because it is the only calculated weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available. Weighted- average Exporter or producer dumping margin (percent) Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S 8.48 Kale Baglanti Teknolojileri San. ve Tic 8.48 Noksel Selik Boru Sanayi A.S 8.48 Cinar Boru Profil San. ve Tic. As 8.48 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these amended final results of review within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rates Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The ministerial error corrections resulted in an 8.48 percent margin for the companies not individually examined: Kale Baglanti Teknolojileri San. ve Tic., Noksel Selik Boru Sanayi A.S., and Cinar Boru Profil San. ve Tic. As. Accordingly, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries at the non-individually examined rate, i.e., 8.48 percent. In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each respondent 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, i.e., 14.74 percent, from the less- than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation as modified by the section 129 determination, if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
