The ITC will preliminarily determine, 

within 25 days after the date on which 

it receives notice of the initiation, 

whether there is a reasonable indication 

that imports of subsidized multilayered 

wood flooring from the PRC are causing 

material injury, or threatening to cause 

material injury, to a U.S. industry. See 

section 703(a)(2) of the Act. A negative 

ITC determination will result in the 

investigation being terminated; 

otherwise, the investigation will

APPENDIX I 

Scope of the Investigation 

Multilayered wood flooring is composed of 

an assembly of two or more layers or plies 

of wood veneer(s) 3 in combination with a 

core. The several layers, along with the core, 

are glued or otherwise bonded together to 

form a final assembled product. Multilayered 

wood flooring is often referred to by other 

terms, e.g., ‘‘engineered wood flooring’’ or 

‘‘plywood flooring.’’ Regardless of the 

particular terminology, all products that meet 

the description set forth herein are intended 

for inclusion within the definition of subject 

merchandise. 

All multilayered wood flooring is included 

within the definition of subject merchandise, 

without regard to: dimension (overall 

thickness, thickness of face ply, thickness of 

back ply, thickness of core, and thickness of 

inner plies; width; and length); wood species 

used for the face, back and inner veneers; 

core composition; and face grade. 

Multilayered wood flooring included within 

the definition of subject merchandise may be 

unfinished (i.e., without a finally finished 

surface to protect the face veneer from wear 

and tear) or ‘‘prefinished’’ (i.e., a coating 

applied to the face veneer, including, but not 

exclusively, oil or oil-modified or waterbased polyurethanes, ultra-violet light cured 

polyurethanes, wax, epoxy-ester finishes, 

moisture-cured urethanes and acid-curing 

formaldehyde finishes.) The veneers may be 

also soaked in an acrylic-impregnated finish. 

All multilayered wood flooring is included 

within the definition of subject merchandise 

regardless of whether the face (or back) of the 

product is smooth, wire brushed, distressed 

by any method or multiple methods, or handscraped. In addition, all multilayered wood 

flooring is included within the definition of 

subject merchandise regardless of whether or 

not it is manufactured with any interlocking 

or connecting mechanism (for example, 

tongue-and-groove construction or locking 

joints). All multilayered wood flooring is 

included within the definition of the subject 

merchandise regardless of whether the 

product meets a particular industry or similar 

standard. 

The core of multilayered wood flooring 

may be composed of a range of materials, 

including but not limited to hardwood or 

softwood veneer, particleboard, mediumdensity fiberboard (MDF), high-density 

fiberboard (HDF), stone and/or plastic 

composite, or strips of lumber placed edgeto-edge. 

Multilayered wood flooring products 

generally, but not exclusively, may be in the 

form of a strip, plank, or other geometrical 

patterns (e.g., circular, hexagonal). All 

multilayered wood flooring products are 

included within this definition regardless of 

the actual or nominal dimensions or form of 

the product. 

Specifically excluded from the scope are 

cork flooring and bamboo flooring, regardless 

of whether any of the sub-surface layers of 

either flooring are made from wood. Also 

excluded is laminate flooring. Laminate 

flooring consists of a top wear layer sheet not 

made of wood, a decorative paper layer, a 

core-layer of high-density fiberboard, and a 

stabilizing bottom layer. 

Imports of the subject merchandise are 

provided for under the following 

subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS):

Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes 

and Tubes From Taiwan: Notice of 

Partial Rescission of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On June 30, 2010, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on circular 

welded carbon steel pipes and tubes 

from Taiwan. The review covers two 

firms: Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. 

(Yieh Phui) and Yieh Hsing Enterprise 

Co., Ltd. (Yieh Hsing). Based on a 

withdrawal of the request for review 

from United States Steel Corporation 

(Petitioner), we are now rescinding this 

administrative review with respect to 

Yieh Hsing. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 18, 

2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Bezirganian or Robert James, AD/ 

CVD Operations, Office 7, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–1131 or (202) 482– 

0649, respectively. 

Background 

On June 30, 2010, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on circular welded carbon steel pipes 

and tubes from Taiwan covering the 

period May 1, 2009, through April 30, 

2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Requests for Revocation in 

Part, 75 FR 37759, 37762 (June 30, 

2010). 

On July 1, 2010, the Department 

issued questionnaires to both of the 

respondents, Yieh Hsing and Yieh Phui. 

Yieh Hsing did not respond to the 

Department’s questionnaire. 

On October 26, 2010, the Petitioner 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review for Yieh Hsing. 

The Petitioner was the only interested 

party to request a review of Yieh Hsing. 

Partial Rescission 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the 

Department’s regulations provides that 

the Department will rescind an 

administrative review if the party that 

requested the review withdraws its 

request for review within 90 days of the 

of publication of the notice of initiation 

of the requested review, or withdraws at 

a later date if the Department 

determines it is reasonable to extend the 

time limit for withdrawing the request. 

Therefore, although the Petitioner 

withdrew its request with regard to Yieh 

Hsing after the 90-day deadline, the 

Department has the discretion to extend 

this time limit. Consistent with the 

Department’s practice, we find it 

reasonable to extend the withdrawal 

deadline, and to rescind the review with 

respect to Yieh Hsing, because the 

Department has not devoted significant 

time or resources to review Yieh Hsing, 

and the Petitioner was the only party to 

request a review. See, e.g., Welded Large 

Diameter Line Pipe From Japan: Notice 

of Rescission of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 75 FR 38989, 

38990 (July 7, 2010); see also Persulfates 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Notice of Rescission of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 

13810, 13811 (March 17, 2006). The 

Department will continue this 

administrative review with respect to 

Yieh Phui. 

Assessment Instructions 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For the company for 

which this review is rescinded, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers for whom this review is 

being rescinded 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 Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction 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/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 

which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: November 12, 2010.
