SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 6, 2020, Commerce 

initiated the antidumping duty 

administrative review of the order 1 on 

circular welded carbon-quality steel 

pipe from the Sultanate of Oman.2 This 

review covers one producer/exporter of 

the subject merchandise, Al Jazeera 

Steel Products Co. SAOG (Al Jazeera). 

On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

deadlines in administrative reviews by 

50 days.3 On July 21, 2020, Commerce 

tolled all deadlines in administrative 

reviews by an additional 60 days.4

Accordingly, the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this review is now 

December 21, 2020. For a detailed 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is CWP from Oman. A full description 

of the scope of the Order is contained

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). Export price was 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. NV was calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the

We preliminarily determine that, for

Disclosure, Public Comment, and 

Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

of review to interested parties within 

five days of the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with 19 CFR

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined.11

We intend to issue the final results of 

this administrative review, including 

the results of its analysis of issues raised

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 245 / Monday, December 21, 2020 / Notices 83051 

13See 19 CFR 351.212(b). 

14 In these preliminary results, we applied the 

assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

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).

Boltex Manufacturing Co., L.P. (collectively, the 

petitioners).

Administrative Review,’’ dated September 3, 2019; 

see also Gupta’s Letter, ‘‘Request for Anti-Dumping 

Continued 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), as 

Al Jazeera reported the entered value for 

its U.S. sales, we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of the sales.14 We will instruct 

CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review when the importer-specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is above de 

minimis. Where the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable. 

In accordance with our ‘‘automatic 

assessment’’ practice, for entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by Al Jazeera for which it did 

not know its 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.15

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for Al Jazeera will be 

the rate established in the final results 

of this review, except if the ultimate rate 

is de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in 

which the company was reviewed; (3) if 

the exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair value (LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recently-completed segment of this 

proceeding for the manufacturer of 

subject merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 7.36 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.16 These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

The preliminary results of this review 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
