HOPE provides for duty-free 

treatment for certain apparel articles 

imported directly from Haiti. Section 

213A(b)(1)(B) of HOPE outlines the 

requirements for certain apparel articles 

to qualify for duty-free treatment under 

a ‘‘value-added’’ program. In order to 

qualify for duty-free treatment, apparel 

articles must be wholly assembled, or 

knit-to-shape, in Haiti from any 

combination of fabrics, fabric 

components, components knit-to-shape, 

and yarns, as long as the sum of the cost 

or value of materials produced in Haiti 

or one or more countries, as described 

in HOPE, or any combination thereof, 

plus the direct costs of processing 

operations performed in Haiti or one or 

more countries, as described in HOPE, 

or any combination thereof, is not less 

than an applicable percentage of the 

declared customs value of such apparel 

articles. Pursuant to HELP, the 

applicable percentage for the period 

December 20, 2010 through December 

19, 2011, is 50 percent or more. 

For every twelve month period 

following the effective date of HOPE, 

duty-free treatment under the valueadded program is subject to a 

quantitative limitation. HOPE provides 

that the quantitative limitation will be 

recalculated for each subsequent 12- 

month period. Section 213A (b)(1)(C) of 

HOPE, as amended by HOPE II and 

HELP, requires that, for the twelvemonth period beginning on December 

20, 2010, the quantitative limitation for 

qualifying apparel imported from Haiti 

under the value-added program will be 

an amount equivalent to 1.25 percent of 

the aggregate square meter equivalent of 

all apparel articles imported into the 

United States in the most recent 12- 

month period for which data are 

available. The aggregate square meters 

equivalent of all apparel articles 

imported into the United States is 

derived from the set of Harmonized 

System lines listed in the Annex to the 

World Trade Organization Agreement 

on Textiles and Clothing (‘‘ATC’’), and 

the conversion factors for units of 

measure into square meter equivalents 

used by the United States in 

implementing the ATC. For purposes of 

this notice, the most recent 12-month 

period for which data are available as of 

December 20, 2010 is the 12-month 

period ending on October 31, 2010. 

Therefore, for the one-year period 

beginning on December 20, 2010 and 

extending through December 19, 2011, 

the quantity of imports eligible for 

preferential treatment under the valueadded program is 324,408,946 square

Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy 

Steel Pipe From Mexico: Preliminary 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to requests by 

interested parties, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) is 

conducting an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe 

from Mexico. This administrative 

review covers mandatory respondents 

Mueller Comercial de Mexico, S. de R.L. 

de C.V. (Mueller) and Ternium Mexico, 

S.A. de C.V. (Ternium). Tuberia 

Nacional, S.A. de C.V. (TUNA) is 

subject to a concurrent changed 

circumstances review of this order; in 

its changed circumstances review, the 

Department has preliminarily 

determined that Lamina y Placa 

Comercial, S.A. de C.V. (Lamina) is the 

successor-in-interest to TUNA. See 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Changed Circumstances Review: 

Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy 

Steel Pipe and Tube from Mexico, 75 FR 

67685 (November 3, 2010). Therefore, 

we are continuing to refer to this entity 

as TUNA for these preliminary results, 

pending a final determination. The 

period of review (POR) is November 1, 

2008, through October 31, 2009. 

We preliminarily determine that sales 

of subject merchandise have been made 

at less than normal value (NV). One of 

the companies, Ternium, refused to 

cooperate with the Department in this 

administrative review. We have 

calculated a dumping margin for 

Mueller. We preliminarily determine 

that TUNA had no reviewable sales, 

shipments, or entries during the POR. 

The Department’s review of import data 

supported TUNA’s claim (see ‘‘TUNA’s 

No-Shipment Claim’’ section of this 

notice for further explanation). 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 15, 

2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 2, 1992, the Department 

published the antidumping duty order 

on certain circular welded non-alloy 

steel pipe from Mexico. See Notice of 

Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain 

Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe 

from Brazil, the Republic of Korea 

(Korea), Mexico, and Venezuela and 

Amendment to Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain 

Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from 

Korea, 57 FR 49453 (November 2, 1992) 

(Antidumping Duty Order). On 

November 2, 2009, the Department 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review in the 

Federal Register. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

to Request Administrative Review, 74 

FR 56573 (November 2, 2009). On 

November 30, 2009, the Department 

received requests for administrative 

review of Ternium (including its 

affiliates Hylsa, Ternium Grupo IMSA, 

and Galvak), TUNA, and Mueller from 

petitioners Allied Tube and Conduit 

Corp. (Allied) and TMK IPSCO; 

respondents Mueller and TUNA also 

submitted requests for administrative 

review on that day. On December 23, 

2009, the Department published a 

Federal Register notice initiating an 

antidumping administrative review. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 74 FR 68229 (December 23, 2009). 

On December 28, 2009, TUNA withdrew 

its request for an administrative review. 

However, the Department did not 

terminate the review with regard to 

TUNA because petitioners had timely 

requested a review of TUNA. On 

January 6, 2010, the Department issued 

its antidumping questionnaire to 

Mueller, TUNA, and Ternium. 

On February 5, 2010, Ternium and 

TUNA notified the Department that they 

would not submit responses to the 

Department’s questionnaire; TUNA did 

so with a no-shipments claim. With 

regard to TUNA’s no-shipments claim, 

on February 17, 2010, petitioners Allied 

and TMK IPSCO submitted comments; 

on August 4, 2010, they submitted 

further comments. On August 16, 2010, 

TUNA replied to the petitioner’s 

comments. On August 31, 2010, the 

Department issued a supplemental 

questionnaire to TUNA concerning its 

U.S. sales of mechanical tubing. On 

September 8, 2010, TUNA submitted its 

response to the supplemental 

questionnaire concerning mechanical 

tubing. 

With respect to sales data, on 

February 26, 2010, Mueller submitted 

its response to section A of the 

questionnaire; on March 19, 2010, 

Mueller submitted its sections B and C 

response to the questionnaire. On May 

25, 2010, the Department issued its first 

supplemental section A, B, and C 

questionnaire to Mueller. On June 4, 

2010, Mueller submitted its responses to 

the first supplemental section A, B, and 

C questionnaire. On June 24, 2010, 

Mueller submitted a clarification of its 

first supplemental section A 

questionnaire response. On June 17, 

2010, the Department issued its second 

supplemental section A, B, and C 

questionnaire to Mueller. On July 14, 

2010, Mueller submitted its response to 

the second supplemental section A 

questionnaire; on July 16, 2010, Mueller 

submitted its response to the second 

supplemental sections B and C 

questionnaire. On July 19, 2010, Mueller 

submitted corrections to its response to 

the second supplemental sections B and 

C questionnaire. On December 1, 2010, 

Mueller submitted revised home and 

U.S. market databases in response to the 

Department’s request made at the end of 

verification (see ‘‘Verification’’ section 

below). 

On April 8, 2010, petitioner U.S. Steel 

alleged that Mueller had made sales 

below the cost of production (COP) 

during the POR. On June 30, 2010, the 

Department required both TUNA and 

Ternium 1 to submit COP data. See the 

memorandum from Maryanne Burke to 

the file entitled ‘‘Administrative Review 

of Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe 

from Mexico: Mueller Comercial de 

Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. and 

Southland Pipe Nipples Company, Inc.,’’ 

dated June 30, 2010. On July 13, 2010, 

the Department issued supplemental 

section D questionnaires to Ternium, 

TUNA, and Mueller. On August 20, 

2010, Ternium, TUNA, and Mueller 

each submitted a response to the section
