During this administrative review, the Department also conducted a concurrent scope review. As indicated in the final scope ruling, the Department found that certain black, circular tubing produced to ASTM A-513 by Productos Laminados meets the exclusion language for mechanical tubing in the scope of this antidumping duty order. Pursuant to the final scope ruling, the Department instructed Productos Laminados to submit a revised U.S. sales database incorporating the factors set forth in the scope ruling. Productos Laminados submitted its revised U.S. sales database on January 5, 2014. Consequently, on January 30, 2015, the Department issued the Post-Preliminary Results. The Department also placed on the record of this review the following memorandum: “Productos Laminados de Monterrey S.A. de C.V. and Prolamsa, Inc.—Analysis Memorandum for the Post-Preliminary Results of the 2012/2013 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Mexico”, dated January 30, 2015 (Post-Preliminary Analysis Memo). Together, these memoranda explain the changes made to the Preliminary Results, yielding the revised margin for the post-preliminary results of review.
In response to the Department's invitation to comment on the preliminary and post-preliminary results of this review, one party, Prolamsa, filed a case brief on February 9, 2015. No rebuttal briefs were submitted to the Department.
The products covered by the order are circular welded non-alloy steel pipes and tubes. The merchandise covered by the order and subject to this review is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at subheadings: 7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, 7306.30.5055, 7306.30.5085, and 7306.30.5090. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive. A full description of the scope of the order is contained in the memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, “Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Mexico; 2012-2013” (Issues and Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this notice and incorporated herein by reference. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
All issues raised by interested parties in this administrative review are listed as an attachment to this notice. We have analyzed all interested party comments. Based on our analysis of the comments received, the margin in the final results is unchanged from that presented in the Post-Preliminary Results.
We determine the following weighted-average margin exists for the period November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013:
The Department will 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.

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of these final results for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
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 review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
