SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (‘‘Act’’), on September 21, 

2010, the Department published the 

final determination of sales at less than 

fair value in the antidumping duty 

investigation of seamless pipe from the 

PRC. See Certain Seamless Carbon and 

Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure 

Pipe from the People’s Republic of 

China: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and Critical 

Circumstances, in Part, 75 FR 57449 

(September 21, 2010) (‘‘Final 

Determination’’). On November 4, 2010, 

the ITC notified the Department of its 

affirmative determination of threat of 

material injury to a U.S. industry, and 

its negative determination of critical 

circumstances. See Certain Seamless 

Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, 

and Pressure Pipe from China, USITC 

Investigation Nos. 701–TA–469 and

Amendment to the Final Determination 

On September 21, 2010, the 

Department published its affirmative 

final determination in this proceeding. 

See Final Determination. On September 

21, 2010, United States Steel 

Corporation (‘‘U.S. Steel’’), a petitioner 

in the investigation, and Tianjin Pipe 

(Group) Corporation and Tianjin Pipe 

International Economic and Trading 

Corporation (collectively ‘‘TPCO’’), a 

respondent in the investigation, 

submitted timely ministerial error 

allegations and requested, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.224, that the Department 

correct the alleged ministerial errors in 

the dumping margin calculations. On 

September 27, 2010, U.S. Steel, TPCO 

and Hengyang Steel Tube Group Int’l 

Trading Inc., Hengyang Valin Steel Tube 

Co., Ltd. and Hengyang Valin MPM 

Tube Co., Ltd. (collectively 

‘‘Hengyang’’), the other mandatory 

respondent in this investigation, filed 

rebuttal comments. No other interested 

party submitted ministerial error 

allegations or rebuttal comments. 

After analyzing all interested party 

comments and rebuttals, we have 

determined, in accordance with section 

735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

that we made the following ministerial 

errors in our calculations for the Final 

Determination with respect to TPCO 

and Hengyang: 

• For TPCO, we unintentionally 

adjusted the denominator used to 

calculate the ratio for market-economy 

purchases (‘‘MEP’’) of steel scrap, 

thereby resulting in an incorrect ratio 

for the MEP of steel scrap. 

• For TPCO, we unintentionally 

calculated the percentage reduction to 

TPCO’s reported by-product offset by 

dividing the quantity of further 

processed steel scrap by the quantity of 

steel scrap reintroduced into 

production, rather than the quantity of 

steel scrap generated by TPCO during 

the period of investigation. 

• For one of the three financial 

statements used to calculate the 

financial ratios for TPCO and Hengyang, 

we unintentionally: (1) Classified an 

amount for dividend income as selling, 

general and administrative expenses 

(‘‘SG&A’’) and interest, instead of 

excluding the dividend income from our 

calculation; and (2) excluded a financial 

expense amount, rather than including 

it in the SG&A and interest expense 

category. 

For a detailed discussion of the 

ministerial errors alleged by U.S. Steel 

and the respondent, as well as the 

Department’s analysis, see the 

Memorandum to Susan H. Kuhbach, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations, ‘‘Ministerial Error 

Memorandum, Amended Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 

Value: Certain Seamless Carbon and 

Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure 

Pipe from the People’s Republic of 

China,’’ dated October 15, 2010 

(‘‘Ministerial Error Memorandum’’). 

Also, in the Final Determination we 

determined that a number of companies 

in addition to the mandatory 

respondents qualified for a separate rate. 

See Final Determination at 57452. Since 

the cash deposit rate for the separate 

rate respondents is based on the average 

of the margins for the mandatory 

respondents, and the margins for TPCO 

and Hengyang changed as a result of the 

aforementioned ministerial errors, in the 

amended final determination, we have 

revised the calculation of the dumping 

margin for the separate rate respondents 

as well. See Ministerial Error 

Memorandum. The amended weighted 

average dumping margins are as follows:

Antidumping Duty Order 

On November 4, 2010, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination in this investigation. In 

its final determination in this 

investigation, the ITC found that a U.S. 

industry is threatened with material 

injury by reason of imports of seamless 

pipe from the PRC. According to section 

736(b)(2) of the Act, duties shall be 

assessed on subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination if that determination is 

based on the threat of material injury 

and is not accompanied by a finding 

that injury would have resulted without 

the imposition of suspension of 

liquidation of entries since the

Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing 

Duty Determination, Final Affirmative Critical 

Circumstances Determination, 75 FR 57444 

(September 21, 2010) (‘‘CVD Final’’). 

Department’s preliminary 

determination. In addition, section 

736(b)(2) of the Act requires U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to refund any cash deposits or bonds of 

estimated antidumping duties posted 

since the preliminary antidumping 

determination if the ITC’s final 

determination is threat-based. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(b)(2) of the Act and our practice, we 

will instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and refund 

any cash deposits made and release any 

bonds posted for estimated antidumping 

duties for entries of seamless pipe from 

the PRC entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

April 28, 2010, the date on which the 

Department published its Preliminary 

Determination, but before the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final 

determination in the Federal Register. 

For exports from Hengyang and the 

PRC-wide entity, we will instruct CBP 

to lift suspension, release any bond or 

other security, and refund any cash 

deposit made to secure the payment of 

antidumping duties with respect to 

entries of the merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after January 28, 

2010 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of 

publication of the preliminary 

determination in the Federal Register), 

through April 27, 2010. Further, we will 

instruct CBP to continue to suspend 

liquidation of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination. The instructions 

suspending liquidation will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

In accordance with section 736(a)(3) 

of the Act, we will instruct CBP to 

require cash deposits of estimated 

antidumping duties. In its final 

determination in the companion 

countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) 

investigation, the Department found that 

TPCO’s and Hengyang’s merchandise 

benefited from export subsidies.1

Additionally, because the Department 

found that TPCO and Hengyang, the 

companies that it investigated in the 

CVD case, benefited from export 

subsidies, all other exporters have 

benefited from export subsidies based 

upon the results determined for TPCO 

and Hengyang. Therefore, we will 

instruct CBP to require an antidumping 

duty cash deposit equal to the weightedaverage amount by which the normal 

value exceeds the U.S. price for TPCO 

and Hengyang, as indicated in the table 

above, minus the amount determined to 

constitute an export subsidy for each 

company. For the separate-rate 

companies, we will instruct CBP to 

adjust the dumping margin by the 

amount of export subsidies included in 

the All Others rate from the CVD Final. 

Accordingly, as of the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination, CBP will require, 

at the same time as importers would 

normally deposit estimated duties on 

this subject merchandise, a cash deposit 

equal to the estimated weighted-average 

antidumping duty margins discussed 

above, minus the amount determined to 

constitute an export subsidy. See 

section 735(c)(1) of the Act. The ‘‘PRCwide’’ rate applies to all exporters of 

subject merchandise not specifically 

listed. 

Additionally, in accordance with 

section 736 of the Act, the Department 

will also direct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all unliquidated 

entries of seamless pipe from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date on 

which the ITC published its notice of 

final determination of threat of material 

injury in the Federal Register. 

This notice constitutes the 

antidumping duty order with respect to 

seamless pipe from the PRC pursuant to 

section 736(a) of the Act. Interested 

parties may contact the Department’s 

Central Records Unit, Room 7043 of the 

main Commerce building, for copies of 

an updated list of antidumping duty 

orders currently in effect. 

This order is published in accordance 

with section 736(a) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.211.
